Dust and Pollen Filter Replacement

The dust and pollen filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, whichever comes first. Replace the filter more often if the airflow is less than usual, or if the vehicle is driven in areas that have high concentrations of soot from industry or diesel powered vehicles.

1. Open the glove box. Remove the damper and the glove box stop on each side, then let the glove box hang down (see DASHBOARD CENTER LOWER COVER DISASSEMBLY/REASSEMBLY ).
2. Remove the dust and pollen filter assembly (A) from the evaporator.
