Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
Notice:If you spray water into the engine air
cleaner/lter intake and water enters the engine air
cleaner/lter housing, as shown in the illustration,
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/lter intake
and/or housing.SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-12for
the location of the
engine air cleaner/lter and
the air lter restriction
indicator, if equipped.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filter
If your vehicle is equipped with an air lter restriction
indicator, it lets you know when the engine air cleaner/
lter needs to be replaced. On vehicles with a restriction
indicator, you should inspect the air lter restriction
indicator at every oil change and replace the engine air
cleaner/lter when the indicator tells you to.
On vehicles without an air lter restriction indicator, you
should inspect the air cleaner/lter at every oil change
and replace it at the rst oil change after 100,000 miles
(160 000 km). SeeScheduled Maintenance on
page 6-4for more information.
