Changing the Air Filter Element

1. On the passenger's side of the air filter housing, release the two
clamps from the air filter housing cover.
2. Lift the passenger's side of the cover and push the cover toward the
passenger's side. Release the three tabs on the cover from the three slots
in the driver's side of the housing.
3. Carefully separate the cover from the housing.
4. Remove the air filter element from the housing.
5. Wipe the cover and the housing clean to remove any dirt or debris and
to make sure the cover seals to the housing.
6. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the housing and the cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.
