Procedure evidenceSource-reviewed procedure

Honda's archive identifies RU3/RU4 as first-generation VEZEL Hybrid chassis codes; this guide is scoped to RU3.

The source verifies the action order and AIR FLOW-down installation direction. It does not make CarFactBook's generated artwork exact geometry.
