X Diesel engine
Lift the cover and take out the air
cleaner filter.
Inspect the outer surface of the filter, and
replace the filter if it is extremely dirty. If the
filter is only moderately dusty, use com-
pressed air to blow dust out of the filter.

After checking, make sure the filter
is set properly. Fully engage the
claws and then secure the upper
cover of the air cleaner case.
Q When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the engine
is hot or running as washer fluid contains
alcohol and may catch fire if spilled on
the engine, etc.
Q Do not use any fluid other than
washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or engine anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on the
vehicle’s painted surfaces, as well as
damaging the pump leading to problems
of the washer fluid not spraying.
Q Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as neces-
sary.
Refer to the freezing temperatures listed
on the label of the washer fluid bottle.
