The cabin air filter is under the instrument panel in the passenger footwell area or under the center console on the passenger side.
The system filters airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the air supplied to and recirculated in the interior of your vehicle.
 Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. Running the system without a filter in place could degrade or damage the system.
Your vehicle cabin air filter gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
  • It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
  • It improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
  • It protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
Change the air filter element at the proper intervals. See  Scheduled Maintenance . 
For additional cabin air filter information, or to replace the filter, see an authorized dealer.
