Where is the Buick Excelle GT's cabin air filter located?
2 Answers
The Buick Excelle GT's cabin air filter is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, pull open the glove compartment cover, push the lever to the right to detach it, then remove the glove compartment. This will reveal the cabin air filter housing cover. Open this cover to access the filter itself. The cabin air filter ensures clean air in the passenger compartment, preventing bacterial growth and creating a healthy environment by effectively filtering out dust, pollen, grinding particles and other solid contaminants from the air. The Buick Excelle GT measures 4671mm in length, 1815mm in width and 1478mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2685mm. In terms of exterior design, the vehicle features a naturally harmonious waterfall-style grille, complemented by willow-leaf shaped crystal diamond headlights with smooth edges, embodying a practical and stable family car aesthetic with a slightly aggressive touch.
As someone who often helps friends with car repairs, I know that the cabin air filter for the Buick Excelle GT is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, you need to open the glove compartment and look for a small drawer, which usually has a damper or clip. Gently press in or twist it to remove it. At this point, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover behind it—that's the filter housing cover. Use a screwdriver or your fingers to pry open the cover, and the old filter will be exposed. Simply pull it out and replace it with a new one. The process is quite simple; I've done it myself several times, taking less than ten minutes and saving money. However, be careful not to break the clips on the glove compartment, or you'll have to replace the entire unit. Regularly changing the filter is important—check it every year or every 10,000 kilometers. Otherwise, the air from the AC will carry a dusty smell, which not only affects health but also reduces cooling efficiency. If you're a beginner, watch a YouTube video first to learn the steps and ensure safe operation, or ask a knowledgeable friend for help.
