2. On all vehicles described, the filter element is located on the right side of the engine compartment in a black plastic box, which is a casing. On some models, a plastic sensor is connected to the intake air duct, which records the intensity of the air flow through the air cleaner and also signals the need to replace the filter element. When operating the vehicle in dusty regions, the sensor may indicate the need to replace the element before the recommended service interval has passed.
3. Loosen the three fixed screws and pull the housing cover up, then remove the filter element (see illustrations). Wipe the inside of the air cleaner housing and the top of the windshield washer reservoir with a clean cloth.

4. Do not allow foreign objects to fall into the air cleaner housing when the cover is removed.
5. Push the new filter element into the air intake duct. Make sure that it is securely located in the recess provided on top of the washer reservoir.
6. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal. After replacing the element, you must press in the filter indicator to reinstall.
