How to Replace the Pollen Filter on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Cabin air filter

How do you replace the cabin pollen filter on a Ford Focus? Using a plastic lever, detach the cover located at the bottom of the dashboard (right side under the glove compartment). Get a screwdriver or a cordless drill, remove the cap from the filter housing, then extract the worn cabin filter. Insert a new cabin filter ensuring it fits snugly around the walls of the housing, reattach the filter housing cap and tighten the screws (cover everything with the cloth placed under the dashboard). Check the correct installation of the previously mounted parts.
