Dust and Pollen Filter Replacement

The dust and pollen filter should be replaced every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months whichever comes first. Replace the filter more often if the airflow is less than usual, or if the vehicle is driven in areas that have high concentrations of soot from industry or diesel powered vehicles.

1. Remove the glove box (see GLOVE BOX REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ) and the center lower cover (see CENTER LOWER COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
2. Cut the plastic cross brace in the glove box opening with diagonal cutters in the area shown in Fig 1, and discard it.
