Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

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

The cabin air filter is located on the passenger side, just below the glove compartment: to access the air duct and the cabin air filter housing, first remove the cover directly above the footwell, which houses the courtesy light, by unscrewing the two plastic nuts; once you reach the cabin air filter housing, remove the cap, extract the old filter, ensure there are no dirt residues inside the housing, and insert the new one (activated carbon filters are recommended), orienting it according to the direction of the airflow.
