Ford New Focus air filter is located under the glove box on the passenger side. The method to replace the Focus air filter is as follows: 1. Open the glove box, then push the white clips on both sides upwards, and then remove the glove box. 2. Unfasten all the clips of the air filter cover to see the old filter. 3. If the filter is damaged or has too much dust, it needs to be replaced with a new one. 4. When installing the new filter, make sure the side with letters faces outward. The functions of the air filter: 1. It ensures the air filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin. 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air. 3. It adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, etc., from the air. 4. It prevents the car windows from fogging up, ensuring clear visibility and safe driving for the driver and passengers. 5. It maintains clean air in the cabin, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment.
I remember helping a friend with the Ford Focus cabin air filter before, and it seemed pretty straightforward. In most cars, the cabin air filter is usually hidden on the passenger side. To be specific, open the passenger door, crouch down to look under the glove compartment, and you'll find a panel or cover there. Just pry it open to reveal the filter slot. I've changed mine a few times in my own Focus. For older models, the location might be slightly different, but it's generally in that area. Don't underestimate this little thing—it filters out dust and pollen, keeping the air fresh while driving, which is especially nice during hot summer days. Make it a habit to check it regularly and replace it at least once a year to prevent musty odors from the AC vents. If you're doing it yourself, just buy the right filter model, and it'll take only a few minutes—super convenient!
