Cadillac XTS cabin air filter removal method is as follows: 1. Pull out the glove compartment on the passenger side; 2. Pull outward on the fixed handle on the left side of the glove compartment; 3. Remove the buckle from the handle; 4. Push the glove compartment simultaneously on both sides to remove it; 5. The cabin air filter will be visible, press firmly on the fixing buckle to remove it. The Cadillac XTS is Cadillac's newly positioned full-size luxury sedan, which made its debut as a hybrid at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show. Its exterior features 20-inch 11-spoke wheels with Bridgestone tires, LED headlights, and a spoiler mounted on the trunk lid, all showcasing its new design style.
Last time I changed the air conditioning filter for my Cadillac XTS, I did it myself. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the steps are quite simple. First, empty everything from the glove compartment, then press the damping hooks on both sides of the glove compartment, gently squeeze and push to lower it. You'll see a rectangular plastic cover—use a bit of force to pry open the clips and remove it. The old filter will be exposed; just pull it out and throw it away. Note that the filter has an arrow indicating the airflow direction. When installing the new filter, align the arrow with the slot and don’t put it in backward, otherwise, it will affect performance. Replace the cover and reset the glove compartment. The whole process doesn’t require any tools and can be done in five minutes. It’s recommended to change it every 10,000 kilometers or once a year to filter out dust and pollen, making the air in the car much fresher. After I changed it myself, the airflow from the vents became noticeably smoother, and it even saved a bit on fuel—why not give it a try?
