Installation Guide

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Park on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool.
2. Remove the Old Filter: Open the air filter housing, locate the retaining clips or screws, and carefully remove the existing filter. Dispose of it responsibly.
3. Inspect the Housing: Clean any debris from the filter chamber with a dry cloth to ensure optimal contact between the new filter and the housing.
4. Insert the New Filter: Align the filter’s mounting edges with the housing, then slide it in until it sits flush. Secure any clips or screws as per the vehicle’s design.
5. Verify Fitment: Ensure there are no gaps or misalignments that could allow unfiltered air to enter the engine bay.
6. Test Run: Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Check for any unusual noises or airflow issues; if everything is normal, the installation is complete.
