How to Remove the Cabin Air Filter of Buick Envision?
2 Answers
Buick Envision's cabin air filter is located inside the glove box. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to first remove the glove box on the passenger side, take out the old filter, and install the new one. The cabin air filter of Buick Envision serves the following purposes: 1. Separating solid impurities such as pollen and PM2.5 from the air; 2. Absorbing moisture, carbon dioxide, vehicle exhaust, odors, and ensuring clean air in the cabin without bacterial growth. 3. The recommended maintenance interval for the vehicle's cabin air filter is every 10,000 kilometers or approximately every six months. If driving in areas with severe smog, it is best to replace it every three months.
I've taken apart the cabin air filter on my Buick Envision several times, and it's pretty straightforward. You sit in the front passenger seat, bend down to look at the area above the footwell—there's usually a cover panel there. Gently pry open the clips on both sides with your fingers, and the cover will pop off. Then just pull out the old filter. When installing the new one, pay attention to the arrow direction—it indicates airflow. Installing it backward affects filtration. I usually replace it once a year to keep the air fresh inside, which is especially helpful for families with kids to avoid dust allergies. Just remember not to use too much force—those plastic clips can break easily.
