The cabin air filter in a 2015 Ford Escort is located behind the plastic panel near the left leg area of the front passenger seat. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. Ensuring tight contact between the filter and housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separating solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. Adsorbing soot, ozone, odors, and carbon oxides from the air; 4. Preventing windshield fogging to maintain clear visibility and ensure driving safety. The 2015 Ford Escort has the following dimensions: length 4587mm, width 1825mm, height 1490mm, wheelbase 2687mm, fuel tank capacity 50 liters, trunk capacity 448 liters, and curb weight 1255kg.
On the 2015 Ford Escort model, the cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. In practice, you need to open the glove box, empty its contents, then locate the clips or fasteners on both sides of the glove box; gently press or twist these clips to lower or completely remove the glove box, revealing the filter housing cover behind it. After opening the cover, you can directly pull out the old cabin air filter and insert a new one. This design is quite convenient for DIY replacement, saving money on shop maintenance. Installing a new filter effectively purifies in-car air by filtering pollen and dust, which is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers. I recommend replacing it every six months or every 10,000 kilometers to prevent odor buildup and ensure efficient operation of the AC system. The location isn't particularly hard to find, but it's best to watch a tutorial video before your first attempt to avoid mistakes or damaging components.
