The filter is located under the instrument panel below
the glove compartment.

To replace the passenger compartment air filter do the
following:

1. Remove the bolts on the access panel and set the

panel aside. Because this operation can be a little
difficult, you may choose to have it done at your
dealer’s service department.

2. Reach under the

instrument panel
towards the front of 
the vehicle and pull
downward on the filter
retaining bracket.

3. Remove the air filter by pulling downward on the

element. Remove the second portion of the air filter
by sliding it towards the rear of the vehicle and then
pulling downward.

4. Install the new filter by reversing the steps listed

previously. Be sure to follow any instructions that
may be included in the replacement filter package.

Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine 
when to replace the passenger compartment air filter.
See “Scheduled Maintenance” in the Index.

A good time to check your automatic transmission fluid
level is when the engine oil is changed.

Change both the fluid and filter every 50,000 miles
(83 000 km) if the vehicle is mainly driven under one or
more of these conditions:
D In heavy city traffic where the outside temperature

regularly reaches 90

_F (32_C) or higher.

D In hilly or mountainous terrain.
D When doing frequent trailer towing.
D Uses such as found in taxi, police or delivery service.
If you do not use your vehicle under any of these
conditions, change the fluid and filter every
100,000 miles (166 000 km).
