3. Replace the air cleaner element.
We recommend that the air clean-
er element be replaced with gen-
uine Kia parts.
4. Lock the cover with the cover
attaching clips.
Replace the element according to
the Scheduled Maintenance Section.
If the vehicle is operated in extreme-
ly dusty or sandy areas, replace the
element more often than the usual
recommended intervals. (Refer to
Maintenance Under Severe Usage
Conditions in this section.)
CAUTION
• Do not drive with the air clean-
1SAA5013
er removed; this will result in
excessive engine wear.
• Driving without an air cleaner
encourages backfiring, which
could cause a fire in the
engine compartment.
• When removing the air cleaner
element, be careful that dust
or dirt does not enter the air
intake, or damage may result.
