Cabin Air Filter - Ford Fiesta Owner's Manual

Climate Controls

CABIN AIR FILTER

Your cabin air filter is located behind the instrument panel. The cabin air
filter element 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 presence of a particulate filter element
provides the following benefits:
• Improves your driving comfort by reducing particle concentration.
• Improves the interior compartment cleanliness.
• Protects the climate control components from particle deposits.
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. If your
vehicle is not equipped with a cabin air filter, a protective screen has
been provided in its place and must remain installed at all times.
For replacement intervals regarding the cabin air filter, see the
scheduled maintenance information. For more information regarding
your filter, see your authorized dealer.
