Fig. 23
The maintenance checklist specifies that the air filter should be checked every 3800 miles / 6000 km by
a specialist and if necessary cleaned with a high-pressure air hose. Clean from the side fitted closest to
the engine (the inside) as the outer side is where road dust collects.
IF THE VEHICLE IS FREQUENTLY USED ON DUSTY ROADS, THEN TO AVOID
DAMAGING THE ENGINE YOU SHOULD CHECK THE AIR FILTER AT SHORTER
INTERVALS THAN RECOMMENDED IN THE MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST.
