Air filter replacement
(every 30,000 miles or 24 months)
Note: This service interval is for gasoline engines only. Diesel engines have a sensor that will inform the driver via the EVIC display when the air filter should be replaced.
1. At the specified intervals, the air filter element should be replaced with a new one.
2. The air filter is housed in a black plastic box mounted on the inner fenderwell on the right side of the engine compartment.
3. Detach the spring clips and pull the housing cover up, then lift the air filter element out of the housing (see illustrations). Wipe out the inside of the air filter housing with a clean rag.
