How to remove and replace the air filter in a Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe?

The air filter is located inside a housing at the left(driver's) side of the engine compartment. To remove the air filter, release the spring clips that keep the two halves of the air cleaner housing together, then lift the cover-up and remove the air filter element. Be careful not to stretch the wiring attached to the MAF sensor when moving the air filter box. Inspect the outer surface of the filter element. If it is dirty, replace it. If it is only moderately dusty, it can be reused by blowing it clean from the back to the front surface with compressed air. Because it is a pleated paper type filter, it cannot be washed or oiled. If it cannot be cleaned satisfactorily with compressed air, discard and replace it. While the cover is off, be careful not to drop anything down into the housing. Never drive the vehicle with the air cleaner removed. Excessive engine wear could result and backfiring could even cause a fire under the hood. Wipe out the inside of the air cleaner housing. Place the new filter into the air cleaner housing, making sure it seats properly. Installation of the cover is the reverse of removal.

Pontiac Vibe Air Filter

The Air Filter in Pontiac Vibe's component for automobiles helps to defend the engine by filtering out dust and other substances that are dangerous to the motor. As dirt is collected on the filter the air flow reduces which affects the efficiency and fuel consumption. They require changing the air filter because it is important to have maximum air filtration and protect the engine. They are usually made of paper with small passages to trap the dirt and at the same time enable airflow and are used in the Pontiac Vibe. For carbureted engines, there are round filters while for fuel injected cars, there are flat panel filters. Performance air filters usually have a higher, cotton gauze or synthetic elements, and accordingly, the service period is longer, and airflow is also higher, which improves the power and fuel consumption of the engine. Due to the vulnerability of the air filter, it requires frequent inspection and changed especially in the off-road or dusty environment.
