Where is the air conditioning filter located in the new Focus?

The air conditioning filter in the new Focus has two possible locations: 1. Under the glove compartment on the passenger side, to the left of the passenger foot mat; 2. Inside the glove compartment. The air conditioning filter is a type of filter installed in the car's air conditioning system, which can absorb dust particles, alleviate respiratory discomfort, reduce irritation for allergy sufferers, and protect the air conditioning cooling system. The Ford Focus is an A-segment family sedan, with dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height. The front grille of the Focus is quite distinctive, understated yet very unique, especially after the two triangular panels were modified to feature vertical daytime running lights, giving it a somewhat aggressive look. The body lines are clearly defined, exuding a slightly premium feel.
I've been driving the new Focus for several years and have replaced the cabin air filter myself multiple times. It's located right behind the glove box. Specifically, you'll need to first open the glove box, remove all items inside, then locate the plastic clips on either side or at the bottom of the glove box. A gentle press or pull will release the entire glove box. The filter housing is right behind it - usually a small rectangular box that can be pulled out directly to remove the old filter and install the new one. I recommend changing it every 10,000 km or annually to maintain cleaner cabin air and reduce dust/pollen allergies. The tools required are minimal - basically just your hands, no screwdrivers needed. When purchasing filters, make sure to get the correct model - available at Ford's official website or auto parts stores. Regular replacement not only improves fuel efficiency but also extends AC system life, making winter heating more comfortable too. Remember to handle gently to avoid breaking clips. For first-timers, YouTube tutorials can be helpful guides.
