To replace the passenger
compartment air filter:
1. Turn the ignition to ON/RUN with
the engine off.

compartment air filter is located
under the screen.
3. Open the hood to access the
engine compartment. See Hood
on page 10‑5 for more
information.
4. Remove the three screws that
hold the screen in place and lift
off the screen by lifting and
sliding it toward the center of the
vehicle.
5. Pull out on the two tabs located
on each end of the filter cover.
6. Lift the filter cover off by pulling
it straight up.
7. Remove the old filter and insert
a new one.
