2 Answers
Location of the air filter in Ford Kuga: The air filter of Ford Kuga is located on the left side of the fuse box under the co-driver's seat. There are screw holes on the cover, but no screws are fixed, relying solely on the spring clip on the plastic cover. The following is a related introduction to the function of the air filter: 1. It can make the air filter fit tightly to the shell, ensuring that unfiltered air does not enter the compartment. 2. It can separate solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles in the air. 3. It can adsorb moisture, soot, ozone, odor, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. in the air, with strong and lasting adsorption of moisture. 4. It can prevent the car glass from being covered with water vapor, ensuring clear vision for drivers and passengers and safe driving. It can provide fresh air to the driving compartment, prevent drivers and passengers from inhaling harmful gases, ensure driving safety, and effectively sterilize and deodorize. 5. It can ensure clean air in the driving compartment without breeding bacteria, creating a healthy environment. It can effectively separate solid impurities such as dust, core powder, and grinding particles in the air, effectively intercept pollen, and ensure that drivers and passengers do not have allergic reactions that affect driving safety.
I've been driving a Ford Kuga for several years, and checking the cabin air filter isn't difficult. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, sit in the passenger seat and open the glove box. There are clips or levers on both sides inside the box - just pinch or twist them by hand to release, and the entire compartment will drop down. Once opened, you'll see a rectangular black plastic cover secured with clips behind it. Don't pull hard; gently pry it open with your fingernail or a small screwdriver. Inside is the filter - pull it out to check if it's blackened or dusty, and replace if dirty. Remember there's an arrow on the filter indicating airflow direction that must be aligned during installation. After my last replacement, the AC airflow became much fresher. I recommend checking it every 12 months to prevent odors in the cabin. There are many tutorial videos online - watching them before starting makes the job effortless, and you can clean the drainage ports while you're at it.
