Servicing the air filter

If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly this may be because the air filter is clogged. When driving with a dirty air filter, the engine does not receive enough air, which does not meet the environmental demands, and the engine does not operate at full efficiency.

It is important to replace the air filter regularly (see See “Maintenance Schedule” on page 35 for the proper service interval).
