AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

Air Intake System Operation: The air intake system is the same for turbocharged and normally

aspirated engine models. It traps dust and debris from air draw through a filter element before it

reaches the engine intake manifold. The major components of the air intake system are as follows:

A AIR CLEANER Directs outside air through filter element.

B FILTER ELEMENT Removes dirt and dust from the air.

C AIR CLEANER INDICATOR Shows red when filter element needs servicing.

D AIR CLEANER OUTLET Directs air from air cleaner to turbocharger.

E AIR CLEANER HOOD Prevents rain and large objects from entering air intake system.
