in the maintenance schedule.

Cleaning (Severe Conditions)
Clean the air cleaner element by
blowing compressed air through it in
the opposite direction to normal air
flow. If you do not have access to
compressed air (such as a service
station), ask your Acura dealer to do
this service.

The air cleaner element is inside the

cover.

screws around the edge of the air
cleaner housing cover. Remove
