Where is the Kuga's air filter located?
2 Answers
The Kuga's air filter is located in the front passenger footwell. There are screw holes where the left foot would rest. Open a small cover on the central console to find it inside. The Kuga is a compact SUV introduced by Ford, with body dimensions of 4524mm in length, 1838mm in width, and 1701mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2690mm. In terms of exterior design, the Kuga features the brand's signature hexagonal grille, making it resemble a smaller version of the Edge. Under the hood, the Kuga is equipped with either a 1.6T EcoBoost or a 2.0T EcoBoost turbocharged engine.
I've replaced the air conditioning filter on my Ford Escape many times. It's usually located in the footwell area on the passenger side, requiring you to first open the glove compartment and remove a few screws to access the filter cover. Remember not to use too much force when removing the glove box to avoid damaging the clips. The cabin air filter is a critical component responsible for filtering out dust and pollen from the air, and regular replacement can prevent unpleasant odors or reduced AC efficiency. If you frequently drive long distances or live in heavily polluted areas, it's recommended to check it every 10,000 km. Otherwise, a clogged filter can degrade the air quality inside the car. Personally, I make it a habit to replace it before each season change – the anti-haze effect is particularly noticeable in winter. It's a simple and cost-effective maintenance task. Don't wait for problems to arise before fixing them; timely maintenance extends the lifespan of your AC system.
