Air Conditioning Filter, Drive Belt
Air Conditioning Filter
The air conditioning filter removes
pollen and dust from outside air the
heating and cooling system brings
into the interior. It should be
replaced according to the time and
distance recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
This filter should be replaced every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) under
normal conditions. It should be
replaced every 15,000 miles (24,000
km) if you drive primarily in urban
areas that have high concentrations
of soot in the air from industry and
diesel-powered vehicles. Replace it
more often if air flow from the
climate control system becomes less
than usual. Have the air conditioning
filter replaced by your Honda dealer.
Drive Belt
Check the condition of the drive belt.
Examine the edges of each belt for
cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of each belt by
pushing on it with your thumb
midway between the pulleys.
The belts should have the following
"play" or deflection.
With Air Conditioning System
0.30-0.41 in (7.5 10.5 mm)
Without Air Conditioning System
0.33-0.43 in (8.5-11.0 mm)
If you see signs of wear or looseness,
have your dealer adjust or replace
the belts.
