FORD 2014 Focus v.3 - Manual (Page 133)

CABIN AIR FILTER
Note: Make sure you have a cabin air filter installed at all times. This
prevents foreign objects from entering the system. Running the system
without a filter in place could result in degradation or damage to the
system.
Your cabin air filter is located under the instrument panel in the
passenger footwell area. The particulate filtration system reduces the
concentration of airborne particles such as dust, spores and pollen in the
air supplied to the interior of your vehicle. The particulate filtration
system gives you and your passengers the following benefits:
• It improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
• It improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
• It protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
Replace the filter at regular intervals. See the Scheduled Maintenance
chapter.
For more information about your filter, see an authorized dealer.
