High Voltage Battery Cooling Filter Maintenance; Changing The Air Filter Element - Ford 2009 Escape Hybrid Owner's Manual

Maintenance and Specifications

Changing the air filter element

1. Release the clamps that secure the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully separate the two halves
of the air filter housing.
3. Remove the air filter element from the air filter housing.
4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or
debris and to ensure good sealing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could cause
filter damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage. The customer warranty may be voided for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.
