CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter

objects from entering the system. Running
the system without a filter in place could
result in degradation or damage to the
system
Your cabin air filter is located under the
instrument panel in the passenger footwell
area. The particulate filtration system
reduces the concentration of airborne
particles such as dust, spores and pollen
in the air supplied to the interior of your
vehicle.
The particulate filtration system gives you
and your passengers the following
benefits:
•
It improves your driving comfort by
reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment
cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control
components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See
the Scheduled Maintenance chapter.
For more information about your filter, see
an authorized dealer.
