Particulate Air Filter Removal
WARNING: Disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel,
steering column or instrument panel component diagnosis or
service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable,
then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge
before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure
way to disable the airbag system. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in accidental airbag deployment and possible serious or
fatal injury.
WARNING: Always make sure the A/C-heater system is turned off and that the
ignition switch is in the OFF position prior to servicing the
particulate air filter. Never place fingers or other objects into the
filter opening of the HVAC housing. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious injury.
