AIR FILTER CHECK

WARNING: To reduce the risk of vehicle damage and/or personal
burn injuries do not start your engine with the air cleaner

removed and do not remove it while the engine is running.

When changing the air filter element, use only the air filter element
listed. Refer to Motorcraft

part numbers in the Capacities and

Specifications chapter.

For EcoBoost™ equipped vehicles: When servicing the air cleaner, it is
important that no foreign material enter the air induction system. The engine
and turbocharger are susceptible to damage from even small particles.

Refer to Scheduled Maintenance for the appropriate intervals for
changing the air filter element.

Note: Failure to use the correct air filter element may result in severe
engine damage. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to
the engine if the correct air filter element is not used.

Changing the air filter element

1. Release the clamps that secure the air
filter housing cover.

2. Carefully separate the two halves of the
air filter housing.

3. Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing.

4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover
clean to remove any dirt or debris and to
ensure good sealing.

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