Where is the cabin air filter located in the Buick Encore?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Buick Encore is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, first open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. On the right side of the glove compartment, there is a damper that can be removed using some tools. Please note that there are also two limiters inside the glove compartment. Push the glove compartment horizontally towards the center with force to remove it. The Encore is equipped with a series of electronic safety systems, including ESC (Electronic Stability Control), ROM (Roll Over Mitigation), HSA (Hill Start Assist), CBC (Cornering Brake Control), and TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System).
I've been driving a Buick Encore, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When you want to replace it, first open the glove box. There are usually two clips or screws inside—remove them, and you'll see the filter cover. Open the cover, and you'll find the old filter. Simply pull it out and replace it with a new one. Last time I replaced it myself, it took less than 10 minutes, saving me a trip to the repair shop. Remember, don’t install the filter backward—the arrow should point in the direction of airflow. Replace it every 1-2 years to prevent moldy odors and dust, which is crucial for respiratory health. If you’re not keen on DIY, opt for OEM or reputable brands when buying a filter for peace of mind. New Encore owners shouldn’t worry—there are video tutorials online that make it easy to understand. Give it a try—it’s simple and cost-effective!
