Maintenance
AIR CLEANER
Element replacement
Have the air cleaner element checked
and replaced in accordance with the
maintenance schedule.
The climate control air filter located
between the evaporator core and blower
filters the air coming into the vehicle.
If dust or other pollutants accumulate in
the filter for a period of time, the air flow
from the air vents may be decreased and
the dust intake may increase. Therefore
the air filter should be replaced at the
intervals shown in the maintenance
schedule. If the vehicle is operated in
dusty or sandy areas, replace the filter
more often than the recommended inter-
vals.

CAUTION
• Do not drive with the air cleaner
removed; this will result in exces-
sive engine wear.
• Driving without an air cleaner
encourages backfiring, which
could cause a fire in the engine
compartment.
• When removing the air cleaner
element, be careful that dust or
dirt does not enter the air intake,
or damage may result.
