See Engine Compartment Overview on page 6-12 for
the location of the engine air cleaner/filters.
Notice: If you spray water into the engine air
cleaner/filter intake and water enters the engine air
cleaner/filter housing, you could damage your
vehicle’s engine. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Do not spray water into the
engine air cleaner/filter intake and/or housing.
When to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filters
Inspect the air cleaner/filters at the Maintenance II
intervals and replace them at the first oil change after
each 50,000 mile (80 000 km) interval. See Scheduled
Maintenance on page 7-4 for more information.
If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the
filters at each engine oil change.
How to Inspect the Engine Air
Cleaner/Filters
To inspect the air cleaner/filters, remove the filters from
the vehicle and lightly shake the filters to release loose
dust and dirt. If the filters remain caked with dirt, new
filters are required.
To inspect or replace the filters:
1. Some XLR-V vehicles, have a single piece black
cover that snaps over the entire air cleaner
assembly. For vehicles with this cover, simply pull it’s
left/right sides toward the outside of the vehicle and
lift up to remove cover. Reinstall the cover when you
are finished inspecting/replacing the filters.
2. For vehicles that do not have a single piece black
cover, move the clasps on the top of the engine air
cleaner/filter cover forward to unlatch the cover.
3. Lift the front of the cover at an angle and remove.
This is necessary due to the four tabs located on
the rear of the cover.
