The method for replacing the cabin air filter in the Buick Envision is as follows: 1. Open the glove box and remove the fuse box cover. 2. Remove the spring rope buckle, then forcefully pull upward on the plastic beam above the glove box to remove it. 3. Squeeze both sides toward the middle with force to completely remove the glove box, exposing the cabin air filter housing. 4. There are buckles on both sides; open the buckles to lift the housing cover, then remove the old filter and install the new one. Finally, reassemble everything in reverse order. Additional information about the Buick Envision's cabin air filter: 1. Generally, the cabin air filter in the Buick Envision should be replaced every 10,000-15,000 kilometers or once a year. 2. The replacement interval for the cabin air filter mainly depends on the external environment.
I often change the cabin air filter myself to save a good amount of money. The steps for the Envision are actually quite simple: First, open the glove compartment on the passenger side, paying attention to the limit clips on both sides—press them to let the glove box hang down completely. Then you'll see a cover panel; use some force to pry open the clips on both sides to remove it. Pull out the old filter directly, but be sure to note the installation direction—there's an arrow on the filter indicating the airflow direction, so don't get it backward. Clean out any dust or leaves in the filter slot, then insert the new filter in the same direction until you hear a click, which means it's properly seated. Finally, reattach the cover panel and restore the glove box. The key point is to use OEM-spec filters, as aftermarket ones often don't fit correctly. Replace it every 10,000 km, but if you frequently use the outside air circulation or drive in areas with poor air quality, check it at 8,000 km. Doing it yourself takes about 20 minutes and saves you 200–300 yuan compared to going to the dealership.
