To replace the cabin air filter, open the glove box and remove the limiting arm on the side. Squeeze the sides of the glove box to release it completely. The cabin air filter is located behind a cover; remove the cover and replace the old filter with a new one.
The check engine light can illuminate for various reasons, such as a loose gas cap, faulty oxygen sensor, or issues with the catalytic converter. It is recommended to use an OBD-II scanner to retrieve the error codes or visit a professional mechanic for diagnosis.
To change the headlight bulb, open the hood and locate the back of the headlight assembly. Twist the bulb socket counterclockwise to remove it. Replace the old bulb with a new one, being careful not to touch the glass with your fingers. Reinsert the socket and twist it clockwise to secure it.
If the battery frequently dies, check for any lights or electronics left on, inspect the battery terminals for corrosion, and ensure the alternator is functioning properly. If the issue persists, have the battery tested and consider replacing it if necessary.
If the power trunk release is not working, you can manually open the trunk by folding down the rear seats and accessing the trunk through the interior. Locate the emergency trunk release handle and pull it to open the trunk.
Common causes of overheating include a low coolant level, a faulty thermostat, a leaking radiator, or a malfunctioning water pump. Regular maintenance and checks can help prevent overheating issues.
