Cabin Air Filter - Ford FOCUS 2013 Owner's Manual

Climate Control 149

CABIN AIR FILTER

Note: A cabin air filter must be installed at all times to prevent foreign
objects from entering the system. Running the system without a filter in
place could result in degradation or damage to the system.
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter; it is located in the
passenger footwell area.
The particulate air filtration system is designed to reduce the
concentration of airborne particles, such as dust, spores and pollen, in
the air being supplied to the interior of the vehicle. The particulate
filtration system gives the following benefits to customers:
• Improves the customer's driving comfort by reducing particle
concentration.
• Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
• Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
The filter should be replaced at regular intervals. See the Scheduled
Maintenance chapter.
For additional information, or to replace the filter, see an authorized
dealer.
REMOTE START CLIMATE OPERATION
The climate control system adjusts the cabin temperature during remote
start.
You cannot adjust the system during remote start operation. Turn the
ignition on to return the system to its previous settings. You can now
make adjustments. You will need to turn certain vehicle-dependent
features back on, such as:
• heated seats
• heated mirrors
• heated rear window.
You can adjust the settings using the information display controls. See
the Information Displays chapter.
