When to Inspect the Engine

Air Cleaner/Filter

Inspect the air cleaner/ﬁlter at the Maintenance II

intervals and replace it at the ﬁrst oil change after each

50,000 mile (83 000 km) interval. See Scheduled

Maintenance on page 6-4 for more information. If you

are driving in dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the ﬁlter

at each engine oil change.

How to Inspect the Engine

Air Cleaner/Filter

To inspect the air cleaner/ﬁlter remove the ﬁlter from

the vehicle and lightly shake the ﬁlter to release

loose dust and dirt. If the ﬁlter remains caked with dirt,

a new ﬁlter is required.

To inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/ﬁlter, do the

following:

1. Loosen the hose clamp that is on the inlet duct on

the cover and pull off the hose.

2. For vehicles equipped with the 2.2L L4 or 2.4L L4

engine, release the two clips and turn the cover

upward to unhook the hinges. For vehicles equipped

with the 2.0L L4 supercharged engine, remove

the three screws on the cover.

3. Pull the air cleaner/ﬁlter box cover out and remove

the air ﬁlter element from the air ﬁlter box. If the

element is dirty, you should replace it. If the element

is only dusty, it may be cleaned by blowing

compressed air through it from the clean side.

Make sure you are away from your engine

compartment when cleaning the air ﬁlter with

compressed air.

4. Wipe all dust from inside the housing and inspect

the air cleaner and air inlet tube for cracks, cuts

and deterioration. The air inlet tube must be

replaced if it is damaged.
