Step by step

8 steps
  1. Open the hood and secure it with the prop rod. Find the black plastic air filter housing on the right (passenger side), behind the headlight.
  2. Release the two metal clips on top of the housing cover. Pull each one up or to the side until it clicks.
  3. Press the cover down and outward, then lift it up. It will come off the retaining tabs.
  4. Remove the old filter from the housing.
  5. Wipe out the bottom of the housing with a dry rag or vacuum it to remove dust and debris.
  6. Install the new filter. Make sure it sits snugly in the bottom of the housing, with the pleats oriented vertically.
  7. Install the housing cover. Align it with the guides and press down until it clicks.
  8. Snap both metal clips shut. Pull them down until they lock.

Common mistakes and warnings

  • A dirty filter reduces power and increases fuel consumption. In dusty conditions (dirt roads, construction sites), replace the filter more often, every 10,000-15,000 km (6,000-9,000 mi).
