Changing the Engine Air Filter
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and personal burn injuries, do not start your engine with the air cleaner removed and do not remove it while the engine is running. |
Change the air filter element at the correct interval. Only use the specified replacement air filter. Incorrect component use can cause damage not covered by the vehicle Warranty.
When changing the engine air filter, do not allow debris or foreign material to enter the air induction system. The engine and turbocharger are susceptible to damage from even small particles.
To replace the air filter element do the following:
- Remove the screws that secure the air filter housing cover.
- Remove the air filter housing cover.
- Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.
- Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter housing and cover to make sure no dirt gets in the engine and that you have a good seal.
- Install a new air filter element.
Note:
Make sure you align the locating tab on the air filter element with the fork in the air filter housing.
- Install the air filter housing cover.
- Install the screws to secure the air filter housing cover to the air filter housing.
