Installation Guide

1. Locate the air filter housing on your vehicle. It is typically situated in the engine bay, behind a plastic cover.
2. Remove the existing filter by releasing the clips or screws that hold it in place.
3. Clean any debris from the filter slot to ensure proper sealing.
4. Insert the new C 26 009‑2 filter into the housing, aligning the mounting tabs with the slots.
5. Secure the filter by reattaching the clips or screws. Verify that it sits flush and is not tilted.
6. Replace the cover and close the engine bay.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the filter every 12,000 km (or as recommended by your vehicle’s maintenance schedule). A visibly dirty filter can restrict airflow.
• If you drive in dusty or polluted environments, consider a more frequent inspection interval of 6,000–8,000 km.
• Never reuse an old filter; the media degrades over time and loses its filtration efficiency.
• Store spare filters in a dry, cool place to preserve their integrity until needed.

Benefits of Choosing MANN‑FILTER C 26 009‑2

• Engine Protection: By trapping fine particles, the filter prevents abrasive wear on pistons, valves and other internal components.
• Fuel Efficiency: Maintaining optimal airflow reduces engine load, contributing to better mileage.
• Reduced Emissions: Clean air intake leads to more complete combustion, lowering harmful exhaust emissions.
• Longevity: The durable construction and high‑quality media extend the filter’s service life compared to generic alternatives.
