Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and allow the engine to cool. Open the hood and locate the existing air filter housing.
2. Removal of Old Filter: Unscrew or unclip the housing cover. Gently lift out the old filter, taking care not to spill any debris into the intake system.
3. Cleaning (Optional): If desired, wipe the interior of the housing with a dry cloth to remove dust accumulation.
4. Installation: Place the new VAICO V46-0070 filter into the housing, ensuring that it sits flush against the sealing gasket. Reattach the cover securely.
5. Verification: Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. Verify that the air intake system is functioning normally and that there are no leaks around the filter housing.

Maintenance Tips

• Check the filter every 12,000 km or annually, whichever comes first, especially if driving in dusty or polluted environments.
• A clean filter improves fuel efficiency and reduces engine wear. If you notice a decrease in performance, consider replacing the filter sooner.
• Do not attempt to reuse an old filter; always install a new one for optimal protection.
