Strange. My 2001 JTD HLX with climate control has a pollen filter. Either way if you see a black sqaure shape with a black rubber band on it, the pollen filter goes there. So if there isn't one there you can always buy a filter and fit it. If you dont have the black square then you can't fit one. I mean you could always buy the black square and fit it into your car, dont think it costs that much and fit a pollen filter. Depends if you really need one or not. I sufffer from Hay fever so i need it.
