FILTER-PARTICULATE AIR
DESCRIPTION
Some models are equipped with a particulate air filter
(1) that helps purify the outside air entering the HVAC
housing. The filter is mounted in the passenger com-
partment, behind the glove box bin.
The filter should be replaced at least once a year or
every 24,000 km (15,000 miles) and checked if heat-
ing-A/C
system
performance
seems
lower
than
expected. The particulate air filter is labeled with an
arrow (2) to indicate the direction of air flow through
the filter.
REMOVAL
NOTE: LHD model shown in illustrations. RHD model similar.
NOTE: Illustration shown with instrument panel

opening in the HVAC housing (2). Insert the partic-
ulate air filter directly into the housing with the
