If replacement is required, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for

and reused. Replace it according to the

nance and schedules” section of this
manual.

O1and move the air
cleaner cover upward.
2. Remove the air cleaner filter.
3. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner filter housing and the cover with a damp

sure the air cleaner cover is seated in the
housing and latch the clips.

cleaner removed can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner
not only cleans the air, it stops the

there, and the engine backfires, you
could be burned. Do not drive with
the air cleaner removed, and be care-
ful when working on the engine with
the air cleaner removed.
• Never pour fuel into the throttle body
or attempt to start the engine with
the air cleaner removed. Doing so
could result in serious injury.
