Filter replacement
It must be replaced when necessary, and should not be cleaned and reused.
You can clean the filter when inspecting the air cleaner element.
Clean the filter by using compressed air.

2. Wipe the inside of the air cleaner.
3. Replace the air cleaner filter.

If the vehicle is operated in extremely dusty or sandy areas, replace the element more often than the usual recommended intervals. (Refer to “Maintenance under severe usage conditions” in this section.)
CAUTION
- Do not drive with the air cleaner removed; this will result in excessive engine wear.
