Ford Kuga cabin air filter replacement steps: 1. The cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment, requiring the glove compartment fasteners to be released before replacement; 2. Simultaneously push upward on the white clips on both sides of the glove compartment interior, then the glove compartment will detach; 3. After removing the glove compartment, open all the clips on the air filter housing to access the old cabin air filter; 3. If the filter surface is excessively dirty or partially damaged, replace it with a new one. If only slightly dusty, tapping it clean allows continued use; 4. When installing the new filter, ensure the end with lettering faces outward - this lettered side indicates the correct orientation. The Ford Kuga is an SUV under the Ford brand, with body dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1701mm in height.
Replacing the air filter for the Ford Kuga is actually quite simple, and I often do it at home. First, locate the glove box, which is the key position. After opening it, you'll see fixed clips or screws inside; just unscrew them with a Phillips screwdriver, but don't apply too much force to avoid damage. Then, pull out the entire glove box section to reveal the filter cover behind it. The cover is usually plastic, and prying it open will expose the old filter. When removing it, note the direction, and make sure to install the new filter according to the arrow indicator, otherwise it may affect filtration efficiency. The whole process takes about 10 minutes, so there's no need to waste money at a repair shop. I recommend replacing it every six months or every 10,000 kilometers to improve cabin air quality, especially for those with allergies. Doing it yourself also helps you learn more about your car. I usually buy filters online—they're affordable and good quality.
