When cleaning the air intake vent,
make sure to only use a vacuum
to suck out dust and clogs. If a
compressed air blow gun, etc. is
used to blow out dust and clogs,
the dust or clogs may be pushed
into the air intake vent, which may

by your Toyota dealer.
●Make sure to reinstall the filter
and cover to their original posi-
tions after cleaning.
●Do not install anything to the air
intake vent other than the exclu-
sive filter for this vehicle or use
the vehicle witho ut the filter
installed.
