Replacement of Engine Air Filter

Model: Toyota Prius MK 1 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Air filter

Open the bonnet and locate the filter housing on the left side of the engine. Disconnect the three clips attached to the cover by lifting them upwards, and then remove the housing by detaching it from the support. Pull out the old filter and insert a new one. Before inserting the new filter, clean the interior of any dust deposits. Carefully close the air box, ensuring it fits perfectly with the cover. Reassemble accurately and ensure the clips are securely attached. Start the engine and check for proper operation.
