Chevrolet Sonic Owner's Manual: How to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

To inspect or replace the air cleaner/ filter:

1.8L L4 Engine
1. Remove the two screws, tilt the cover, and slide it out of the assembly.
2. Inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filter.
3. Lower the cover, slide it into the assembly, then secure with the two screws.
See Maintenance Schedule for replacement intervals.
Warning
Operating the engine with the air cleaner/filter off can cause you or others to be burned. The air cleaner not only cleans the air; it helps to stop flames if the engine backfires. Use caution when working on the engine and do not drive with the air cleaner/filter off.
Caution
If the air cleaner/filter is off, dirt can easily get into the engine, which could damage it. Always have the air cleaner/filter in place when you are driving.
When to Inspect the Engine Air Cleaner/Filter

Schedule. If you are driving in dusty/dirty conditions, inspect the
filter at each engine oil change. ...
