2 Answers
The method for replacing the air conditioning filter in a Ford Focus is: First, remove the fuse box cover under the passenger seat to expose the old air conditioning filter. After taking out the old filter, squeeze the new air conditioning filter towards the middle, then pull it a few times after installation to restore its original shape. Finally, reinstall the two covers to complete the replacement. The Ford Focus is a Class A family sedan, equipped with two engines: the 1.5L EcoBoost and the 1.5L Ti-VCT. All models meet the China VI emission standards. In terms of body dimensions, the Ford Focus measures 4404mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1454mm in height.
I've been driving a Ford Focus for over a decade and often change the cabin air filter myself—it's quite straightforward. The Focus's cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To remove it, simply open the glove box, clear out any items, gently press the clips on both sides to release it, then remove the cover to access the old filter. Pay attention to the arrow marking on the filter indicating its direction. When installing the new one, don't put it in backward—align the arrow downward and slide it gently into place. Then, reattach the cover and glove box clips as they were. Doing it yourself saves a trip to the shop and unnecessary expenses. It's recommended to replace the filter every 15,000 miles or once a year, especially during spring and fall—you'll notice an immediate improvement in cabin air quality, making breathing much more comfortable. Wearing gloves helps avoid dust allergies for added safety.
