3
Take out the in-cabin microfilter from blower unit.
4
Replace with new one and reinstall on blower unit.
5
Reinstall the instrument lower passenger panel.
Note:
When installing a new microfilter make sure of the following:
- The filter is installed so that the arrow, on the end of the filter, is facing the rear of the vehicle and is pointed upward.
- The microfilter sits on top of the two black plastic tabs, not behind them.
- The ledge on the back side of the microfilter cover panel slides below the microfilter.
Note:
If the microfilter is improperly installed, the ledge on the back side of the microfilter cover panel pushes directly into the microfilter, causing
distortion. A distorted microfilter may interfere with the recirculation door.
