Where is the cabin air filter located in the Lincoln MKC?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Lincoln MKC is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, first open the glove compartment cover and remove the retaining clips. After removing the glove compartment, you will see the cabin air filter cover plate. Remove the cover plate to access the cabin air filter, then pull the old filter outward and insert the new one. The Lincoln MKC features an 8-inch touchscreen and infotainment system, utilizing Ford's SYNC and Lincoln's myTouch infotainment systems. High-tech optional accessories include Ford's Active Park Assist, Blind Spot Warning, Lane Keeping System, Driver Alertness Sensor, and Collision Warning.
I've been driving a Lincoln MKC for two or three years, and the cabin air filter is located on the inner side of the glove compartment on the passenger side—pretty easy to find. The first time I replaced it, I thought I'd have to go to a repair shop, but it turned out I could do it myself: Open the glove compartment door, and there's a plastic clip on the right side. Press it gently with your finger, and the entire glove box can flip downward. Then, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover. Pry it open with a small screwdriver or your fingers, and inside is the filter slot—just pull out the old filter and replace it with a new one. The whole process takes about five minutes, requires no tools, and even a beginner can handle it. By regularly changing the filter, the air quality in my car has improved significantly—no weird smells, especially during spring and fall, which helps prevent pollen allergies and is better for health. Generally, it's recommended to replace the filter every six months or 10,000 kilometers. Online filters are very cheap, costing just a few dozen yuan, saving both time and money. Don't wait for bad odors to appear—preventive maintenance is the way to go.
