I've been driving my Buick Envision for almost three years, and regularly replacing the cabin air filter is a minor but quite important maintenance task. The first step is to open the glove box – just press inward on that small compartment at the front of the cabin to disengage it from the stopper, allowing it to fully lower. Behind the glove box, you'll see a long filter cover panel. Apply some force to release the clips on both sides, and you can remove the cover. Then gently pull out the old filter. The new filter usually needs to be installed with the arrow pointing downward, indicating airflow direction – installing it backward will reduce effectiveness. During installation, make sure it lies flat without bending. After replacing the cover, remember to reset the glove box and reattach the stopper. The whole process takes less than ten minutes and requires no tools – just spend a few dozen yuan online to buy a compatible filter. I replace it every six months because this car's AC gets heavy use, and old filters accumulate dust and pollen, affecting air quality and cooling efficiency. After replacement, you'll immediately notice much smoother breathing.
