5. Wipe the cover and the housing clean to remove any dirt or debris and
to make sure the cover seals to the housing.

6. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the housing and the cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.

7. Lower the driver’s side of the cover and slide the
three tabs on the cover into the three slots in the
housing.

8. Lower the passenger’s side of the cover. Engage
the two clamps to secure the cover to the housing.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS

The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident, an authorized dealer should
check the alignment of your headlamps.

Vertical Aim Adjustment

The headlamps on your vehicle can only be vertically adjusted. Your
vehicle does not require horizontal aim adjustments.

To adjust the headlamps:

1. Park your vehicle on a level surface about 25 feet (7.6 meters) away
from a vertical plain surface (3). Check your headlamp alignment at
night or in a dark area so that you can see the headlamp beam pattern.
