When to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/
Filter
If the vehicle is equipped with an air filter restriction
indicator, it lets you know when the engine air cleaner/
filter needs to be replaced. On vehicles with a restriction
indicator, you should inspect the air filter restriction
indicator at every oil change and replace the engine air
cleaner/filter when the indicator tells you to.
On vehicles without an air filter restriction indicator, you
should inspect the air cleaner/filter at every oil change
and replace it at the first oil change after 160 000 km
(100,000 miles). See Scheduled Maintenance
on
page 7‑3
for more information.
How to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/
Filter
Vehicles With an Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
Locate the air filter restriction indicator on the engine air
duct. When the indicator turns black or is in the red/
orange change zone, replace the filter and reset the
indicator. See “Inspecting the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter
and Resetting the Air Filter Restriction Indicator” later in
this section for further instructions.
Vehicles Without an Air Filter Restriction
Indicator
To inspect the air cleaner/filter, remove it from the
vehicle and lightly shake the filter to release loose dust
and dirt. If the engine air cleaner/filter remains caked
with dirt, a new filter is required. See “Inspecting the
Engine Air Cleaner/Filter and Resetting the Air Filter
Restriction Indicator” later in this section for further
instructions.
