Purpose and fitment

The presented air vent is intended for installation on the right side of the centre dashboard section in first-generation Ford Kuga and first-generation Ford C-Max vehicles. Thanks to a design compliant with factory Ford standards, the component fits original mounting points and works with the existing ventilation duct without the need for modifications.

The vehicle placement is clearly defined as the right side, which facilitates the selection of the correct component when replacing a damaged vent or completing the interior after repairs.

Function and role in the ventilation system

The centre right air vent is responsible for:

• precise direction of airflow in the passenger zone,
• even distribution of air from the ventilation and air conditioning system,
• stable mounting in the centre console, without looseness or vibrations,
• maintaining a consistent interior styling line in accordance with the Ford design.

By maintaining the original geometry of the louvres and housing, the vent allows for comfortable adjustment of the airflow direction and reduces unwanted airflow noise.

Component characteristics and condition

As a part from the Trims, decorative strips and decorations group, the air vent combines utility with aesthetics – it is responsible for both the ergonomics of the ventilation operation and the visual finish of the centre panel. The product comes from the Ford OE range, which means it retains the factory shape, texture, and mounting method.

The item is offered as used, which is a cost-effective solution for users seeking original components at a reasonable price while maintaining compliance with the vehicle's factory specifications.

Benefits of using an original air vent

Using an original centre right air vent in a Ford Kuga MK1 or Ford C-Max MK1 allows you to:

• restore full functionality of the passenger-side air vent adjustment,
• avoid fitment issues typical of aftermarket parts with different geometry,
• maintain a uniform dashboard appearance, without differences in shade or plastic texture,
• maintain compliance with factory Ford assembly standards.

For users who care about interior consistency and proper ventilation system operation, choosing an original Ford component is a safe and technically sound solution.
