CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING
Do not start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. This can cause
damage not covered by the vehicle
Warranty and can result in serious injury.
When changing the air filter element, use only
the air filter element listed. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 296).
For vehicles with EcoBoost engines, when
servicing the air cleaner, it is important that
no foreign material enters the air induction
system. The engine and turbocharger are
susceptible to damage from even small
particles.
Change the air filter element at the correct
interval. See Scheduled Maintenance
(page 321).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine damage.
Resulting component damage may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.
To replace the air filter element do the
following:
1. Switch the ignition off.
E173520
2. Remove the clips that secure the air filter
housing cover.
3. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
4. Remove the air filter element from the air
filter housing.
5. Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter
housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.
6. Install a new air filter element.
7. Install the air filter housing cover. 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 it is not properly seated.
8. Engage the clips to secure the air filter
housing cover to the air filter housing.
