From what I've read here, it only came on out of the country models.

Alaska? Didn't think the air there got dirty...

All the PT's have the space for the cabin air filter but the filter itself is missing. Sort of, easy enough to put one in yourself. The dealer sells them or most of us bought some filter material and made them ourselves. We also found out that the filter itself was the same size as one of the filters that fit into the larger riding lawn mowers (but that's another story).

The cabin air filter holder is located and accessed from the engine compartment. It's in front of the passenger inside the cowl (the black piece with holes in it by the front windshield). Both sides (driver and passenger) cowl have to come off (if I remember right ...it's been years since I put a filter in). Once that cowl is removed, you can see the access where a filter is put in.

Here's where it was discussed before. There's 4 pages of discussion:

Depends on where in Alaska. After following a 28 wheeler for 50 miles on the haul road north of Coldfoot in August, dirty air will have a new meaning.
