178 Seats Note: When the heated or cooled front seat is active, you will be able to hear the fan operating inside the seat. This is normal. Heated and Cooled Seat Air Filter Replacement (If Equipped) The climate controlled seat system includes air filters. You must replace them periodically. See the scheduled maintenance information. Locate the filters under each front seat and access them from the second-row foot-well area. Move the front seats all the way forward and to the full up positions to ease access. To remove an air filter: 1. Turn the vehicle off. 2. Push up on the outside rigid edge of the filter and rotate counterclockwise once the tabs are released, then remove the filter. To install a filter: 1. First, position the filter in its housing making sure that the far forward end is all the way up in the housing. 2. Push in on the center of the outside edge of the filter and rotate up into the housing until it clips into position. 2013 Explorer (exp) Owners Guide gf, 4th Printing, November 2012 USA (fus)
