Toyota Yaris: Air conditioning filter

(on some models)—

The air conditioning filter information label is placed inside of the glove box as shown and indicates that a filter has been installed.

The air conditioning filter prevents dust from entering the vehicle through the air conditioning vent.

The air conditioning filter is behind the glove box.

—Checking and replacing the air conditioning filter

The air conditioning filter may clog after long use. The filter may need to be replaced if the air flow of the air conditioning and heater experiences extreme reductions in operating efficiency, or if the windows begin to fog up easily in FRESH mode.

To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance schedule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such as inner city or desert areas, early replacement may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement.”)

1. Push in each side of the glove box to disconnect the claws.

2. Pinch the knobs located on each side and remove the filter cover.

3. Pull out the filter and rotate it as shown in the illustration to remove.

Inspect the filter on the surface.

If it is dirty, it should be replaced.

When inserting the filter in the filter outlet, keep the arrow pointing up and insert the filter as shown in the illustration above.

INFORMATION.

The air filter should be installed properly in position. The use of air conditioning with the air filter removed may cause deteriorated dustproof performance and then affect air conditioning performance.
