To ensure a clean airflow in the cabin of the Ford Fiesta, you need to periodically replace the designated filter. To do this, sit in the driver's seat and remove the lower part of the centre tunnel near the pedal area by removing the plastic rivet with a flat screwdriver.

Using a T20 Torx key, unscrew the four screws of the filter box cover and remove it. Extract the old filter element, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any debris, and insert a new filter, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. Replace the cover and secure it with its screws, then reinstall the panel, securing it with its rivet.
