The vehicle manual actually explains how to change the air filter in the maintenance section.

Changing the air filter element
1. Loosen the hose clamp on the
outlet tube at the air filter housing.
2. Release the two clamps that
secure the cover to the air filter
housing and place the cover aside.
3. Remove the air filter element
from the air filter housing.
4. Wipe the air filter housing and cover clean to remove any dirt or
debris and to ensure good sealing.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter
element edges between the air filter housing and cover. This could cause
filter damage and allow unmetered air to enter the engine if not properly
seated.
6. Replace the air filter housing cover and secure the clamps.

The only thing I found was that you had to disconnect the filter housing completely from the main hose or it would not open up enough to replace the filter. Remember to be careful as all the parts are plastic and will break if worked on too hard.
