2. Take out the air filter.
Inspect the lower surface of the filter. If it is just moderately dusty,
it may be cleaned by blowing compressed air from the lower surface.
Do not wash or oil the filter.
If it is dirty, it should be replaced. To maintain the air conditioning
efficiency, replace the air filter according to the maintenance
schedule. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to
the separate ”Owner’s Manual Supplement/Maintenance
Schedule”.)
NOTICE
Do not drive with the air filter removed, or the efficiency of air
conditioning may be lost.
Maintenance procedures for the engine, chassis,
body, electrical system, and more, are clearly
explained and illustrated.
Periodic maintenance and tune up
Periodic maintenance and tune up helps to prevent small
problems from growing into larger ones later on. The repair
manual outlines exactly what maintenance is required,
provides a schedule for its performance, and clearly explains
how to do the work yourself step by step.
Areas covered include such things as spark plug replacement,
valve clearance adjustment and engine oil and filter
replacement.
