Installation Guide

1. Locate the existing air filter housing behind the engine bay, typically secured by a plastic or metal cover.
2. Remove the old filter by releasing any clips or screws and lifting it out of the housing.
3. Inspect the housing for debris; wipe clean if necessary.
4. Align the new C 24 196 filter with the mounting tabs and slide it into place until it clicks securely.
5. Replace the cover, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to manufacturer specifications.
6. Start the engine and check for any unusual noises or airflow issues; if everything runs smoothly, the installation is complete.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter every 12,000–15,000 miles or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
• In dusty environments, consider more frequent inspections to maintain optimal performance.
• Avoid using compressed air directly on the filter media; instead, gently tap or brush away loose particles if necessary.
