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.
