Replacing the engine air filter is a very simple job that will take you around 10 minutes, just follow this steps:
Step 1: Open the hood, you’ll find the air filter housing near the right side headlamp
Step 2: Release the 3 brackets on the bottom of the housing (marked with green), disconnect the plug marked in red, lossen the clamp marked with yellow.
Step 3: Remove the housing cover. You should start to pull the front of the cover up a couple of inches, and then pull forward to disengage the 3 brackets in the back of the cover.
Step 4: Replace the old air filter with the new one. You should vacuum any dirt (insects, leaves, etc…) that are deposited in the bottom of the housing.
Step 5: Put the housing cover back on place, re-engage the 3 front brackets, plug the plug, attach the hose and tighten the clamp and you’re done!
