Replacing the air filter element (Priora 2170)

Replace the air filter element according to the manufacturer's recommendations every 30,000 km. However, its condition depends on the operating conditions of the vehicle: on dustier and more polluted roads, the element becomes clogged faster.

Note: Periodically between replacements, remove the filter element and clean it from dust by vigorously shaking it or blowing it with compressed air in the direction opposite to the air flow when the engine is running.

You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver.

6. …and remove the filter element from the cover.

7. If necessary, remove dust and dirt from the air filter housing.



8. Install a new filter element into the cover, orienting its ribs in the direction of the arrow.

Note: To eliminate the possibility of erroneous installation of the filter element from inside the filter, the inscription "Filtering element corrugations should be positioned along the arrow" and an arrow are applied to the bottom of its housing.
