Air filter
Dirt, water and other residue from the air filter
are ejected via two valves. If the valves
become clogged by pollutants, dirt, water and
other residue collect in the drain hoses of the
valves. The valves must then be cleaned.
! The air filter valves must be cleaned espe-
cially after off-road driving. Inadequate
care may result in dirt, water and other res-
idue entering the air-cleaner housing, and
this may cause engine damage.
