III. Air Filter Element Replacement :
Description :
Proper maintenance of the air filter is
essential for vehicle performance and fuel
economy. The air filter element removes
foreign material such as dust, dirt, and
other material from the intake air, thereby
preventing the engine from damage due to
contaminated air.
Inspect and clean the air filter element at
every routine service. Replace the air filter
element every 45,000 km.
Removal :
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage
the parking brake, and raise the hood.
2. Unscrew the top three mounting bolts of air
filter assembly.
3. Detach the cover through hinge action, with
clamp and snorkel intact with cover.
4. Remove the air filter element.
5. Gently tap loose any dirt or debris from the
filter. Clean the housing and air ducts as
well. Take care not to allow dirt and debris
to enter the air inlet to the engine.
