Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool before proceeding.
2. Remove Old Filter: Locate the air filter housing (typically near the engine bay). Open the cover by releasing clips or screws, then gently lift out the old filter.
3. Inspect Housing: Clean any debris from the housing interior with a dry cloth to ensure proper seal.
4. Insert New Filter: Place the MANN‑FILTER C 60 345 into the housing, aligning it so that the airflow direction arrow points toward the engine. Ensure it sits flush against the housing walls.
5. Secure Housing: Replace the cover and secure all fasteners. Verify that the seal is intact to prevent air leaks.
6. Final Check: Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If everything runs smoothly, the installation is complete.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter visually every 6,000 km; if it appears clogged or discolored, replace immediately.
• Avoid using compressed air to clean the filter, as this can damage the media fibers.
• Store spare filters in a dry, cool environment to preserve integrity.
