I just helped my co-worker jumpstart her car with my Coupe. I had to remove some filter thingy to get to the batteries + and - terminals. I didn't have my manual with me so I need you guys to let me know a few things:

1. Is jumpstarting someone's car bad for my battery?
2. Did I have to remove that air filter thingy?
3. Or should I have just used the + thingy that extends from the battery and clamp on to the metal part of the car in place of -?
4. What is the air filter thingy?

1. Jump starting is not harmful to your car if done properly.

2. No.

3. Yes.

4. HVAC filter

Thanks Lynn. What does HVAC stand for and what is this filter?

HVAC = heating, ventilation and air conditioning

How often do I need to replace this HVAC filter? Or do you simple wash it clean and reuse?

It is supposed to be changed at each Service B.
