It's for your AC. Easy fix, just use some 1/8" I.D. hose to patch it.

Or you can replace the entire line. It runs to this junction behind the passenger kick panel.



You'll know it when you see it.

Yep, or any other hard parts store. If you're unsure just take a length of the original stuff in with you and ask the oldest worker for assistance. The replacement tubing will probably be black, but they shouldn't have a problem finding it.

That hose goes to a vacuum control for the "MAX" setting on your A/C.
