Slide and pull out the filter. Replace it
with a new one.
The “↑UP” marks shown on the filter
should be pointing up.
If the filter is dirty, clean by blowing
compressed air through the filter from
the underside.
Hold the air gun 5 cm (2 in.) from the fil-
ter and blow for approximately 2 min-
utes at 500 kPa (5.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 72

If an air gun is not available, have the fil-
ter cleaned by any authorized Lexus
dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.

required. (For scheduled maintenance informat ion, please refer to the “Lexus Service
