I've been driving the Laojunyue for several years, and the cabin air filter is located right behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It's quite easy to remove. First, you need to empty the glove box, then locate and unscrew a few screws or clips to carefully pull out the entire glove box unit. The filter housing is inside there. I've replaced it myself a few times - just keep a Phillips screwdriver handy. This location is designed for easy DIY replacement, saving you a trip to the repair shop. I recommend changing to a new OEM-spec filter every six months to prevent dust odors and maintain good cabin air quality. Regularly check that the location isn't blocked, otherwise you'll get weak airflow from the AC, making driving uncomfortable.
As someone who often tinkers with my car, I discovered that the LaCrosse's cabin air filter is hidden near the glove compartment area. To replace it, first open the passenger side glove box, gently press the side clips or remove the bottom screws to take out the entire compartment, and you'll find the filter housing sitting in that hidden slot. The location is well chosen to prevent debris from directly entering the ducts. I recommend beginners learn the replacement process through video tutorials—it's not complicated, and doing it yourself saves time and is healthier, especially during summer when the AC is used frequently. Old filters accumulate bacteria, which can affect breathing. Make sure to choose the correct filter size and avoid forcing it in, as damaging the housing can be troublesome.
