Cabin Air Filter: Service and Repair
Automatic Air Conditioner
IN-CABIN MICROFILTER
Removal and Installation
FUNCTION
The air inside the passenger compartment is filtered by the in-cabin micro-filters when the heater or A/C controls are set on either the recirculation or
fresh mode. The two in-cabin micro-filters are located in the front heater and cooling unit assembly. The rear heater and cooling unit assembly only
draws in air from the passenger compartment to recirculate into the passenger compartment, so the rear heater and cooling unit assembly is not equipped
with in-cabin micro-filters.
REPLACEMENT TIMING
Replacement of the two in-cabin micro-filters is recommended on a regular interval depending on the driving conditions. Refer to "PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE". It may also be necessary to replace the two in-cabin micro-filters as part of a component replacement if the in-cabin micro-filters are
damaged.
REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
1. Open the lower glove box and press in on the sides so that it will open completely allowing it to hang by the cord.
2. Remove the screw and remove the in-cabin microfilter cover.
3. Remove the in-cabin micro-filters from the front heater and cooling unit housing.
