The cabin air filter in the Ford Kuga is located on the left side of the fuse box under the front passenger seat, covered by a plastic cap with screw holes but no screws, secured only by the built-in spring clip on the plastic cover. More details are as follows: After a period of use, the cabin air filter's performance will decline. Therefore, you can purchase a compatible replacement at an auto parts market. It is recommended that owners inspect the cabin air filter every 10,000 kilometers and replace it promptly if performance deteriorates. If the airflow from the car's air conditioning weakens during use, it may be due to a clogged cabin air filter. 1. First, clean the filter or replace it if necessary. The cleaning interval depends on the vehicle's usage conditions. 2. If the car frequently travels on dusty roads, it is recommended to increase the cleaning frequency of the cabin air filter. 3. If the air quality in the owner's city is poor, it is advisable to replace the cabin air filter twice a year to safeguard health. When replacing the cabin air filter, ensure proper installation. Note that the outer side of the filter has an arrow indicator. Avoid turning on the air conditioning during replacement, as it may degrade dust-proof performance and affect air conditioning efficiency. Before cleaning the cabin air filter, always turn off the air conditioning and avoid washing it with water. Visit a 4S shop for professional cleaning equipment.
I've been driving a Ford Escape for over 20 years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to open the glove box, find the small buttons or clips on the bottom left and right sides, press them gently to open or partially remove the glove box, and the plastic compartment revealed contains the filter. Changing it is super easy—I check my car every week and find that the filter tends to accumulate dust and leaves quickly. I recommend replacing it every 12,000 kilometers or once a year. If you don't, the airflow from the AC will weaken, and it's prone to developing mildew and unpleasant odors, affecting the air quality inside the car. I buy the filter online for just 10 to 20 yuan, saving on repair fees by installing it myself. Plus, I can regularly clean the related pipes to prevent clogs and ensure the AC system runs efficiently.
