The cabin air filter in the classic Focus is located on the right side of the accelerator pedal. The functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc. in the air; 4. It has strong and long-lasting moisture adsorption capabilities. The Focus has body dimensions of 4647mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1468mm in height. The Focus features a family design in its exterior, with sharp-looking LED headlights and striking L-shaped daytime running lights. The front end of the hatchback version is basically the same as the sedan version, but it is more compact and agile.
I've changed the cabin air filter for my classic Ford Focus several times. It's located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. You need to first remove the glove box panel, which is secured with clips or screws. After unscrewing, you can see the filter housing. I've done it myself - not difficult, but be careful not to pull the box too hard to avoid damaging plastic parts. Regular filter replacement is crucial, otherwise more dust enters the cabin and affects AC cooling performance. Generally check every 10,000-20,000 km or every 6 months. Last time when I delayed replacement, my nasal allergy symptoms worsened - dirty filters breed bacteria that harm health. I recommend buying high-quality activated carbon filters, and make sure to align the arrow direction during installation to avoid reducing airflow efficiency.
