Looking for HEPA filter?

[dgmaley]

Hello to all. I'm new here. Just got a base line Cobalt about
two weeks ago. Really like the car. Spent some time trying to
find where things were under the hood. One item has me puzzeled.
My car does have A/C. Sales sheet says cars with A/C have a HEPA
filter. Owner's manual says nothing about it. Wondering if anyone
knows if one actually exists, and where it is. Thanks in advance.

1. Open the instrument panel (I/P) compartment. The access door for the passenger compartment air filter is located behind the glove box.
2. Tilt the I/P compartment door down by squeezing in on each side of the bin until the door stops can be removed from the tracks.
3. Lower the I/P compartment completely.
4. Open the passenger compartment filter door by reaching through the opening in the rear of the I/P compartment and raising the tab until the door can be opened downward.
5. Remove the filter by sliding the filter out of the passenger compartment filter housing.

Installation Procedure

Important: Make certain that the air flow indicator is pointing down.
1. Install the new filter by sliding the filter into the passenger compartment filter housing.
2. Close the passenger compartment filter door and snap the tab down to latch the door.
3. Raise the I/P compartment door until the door stops contact the frame. Slowly raise the door until the doorstops snap into their tracks.
