The intake air passes through the air intake duct to the air
cleaner, through the throttle section into the variable intake
manifold, and on to the two cylinder head intake ducts.
In accordance with fording depth guidelines, the air intake ducts
are situated high in the engine compartment. Fording depth is as
follows:
- 150 mm water depth at 30 km/h
- 300 mm water depth at 14 km/h
- 450 mm water depth at 7 km/h
The air cleaner element is designed to be changed at
100,000 km intervals.
