CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a particulate air filtration system. The
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 is located just in front of the windshield under the cowl grille
on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.
