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 mounting bolts of air filter
assembly.
3. Detach the cover through hinge action.
4. Remove the air filter element.
5. Lightly tap to remove any dirt or debris from
the filter. Clean the housing and air ducts
as well. Make sure not to allow dirt and
debris to enter through the air inlet to the
engine.
Inspection :
1. Hold the air filter element up to a light
source. Light should be visible through the
element. There should be no holes or tears
in the element.
2. The filter can also be cleaned using low
pressure compressed air.
3. Replace the filter element if torn or light is
not visible through the filter.
Installation :
1. Place the air filter element.
2. For re-assembling the cover, please ensure
that all the hinge lugs are properly
assembled in the slot of the air filter housing
body, before tightening the screws.
