Engine Air Cleaner/Filter - Chevrolet 2012 Corvette Owner's Manual

Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

See Engine Compartment Overview
on page 10 10 for the location of the
engine air cleaner/filter.
Notice: If you spray water into
the engine air cleaner/filter intake
and water enters the engine air
cleaner/filter housing, you could
damage your vehicle's engine.
The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not spray
water into the engine air cleaner/
filter intake and/or housing.
If cleaning the vehicle with the hood
open, take care not to spray water
directly near the filter opening of
the air cleaner, as shown in the
illustration, as this could damage
the vehicle's engine.

If driving in dusty/dirty conditions,
inspect the filter at each engine oil
change.
