Where is the cabin air filter located in the Buick Excelle GT?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Buick Excelle GT is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, open the glove compartment cover, push the retaining rod to the right to detach it, then remove the glove compartment. This will reveal the cabin air filter housing cover. Finally, open this cover to access the cabin air filter. The Buick Excelle GT is a compact sedan produced by SAIC-GM Buick, with dimensions of 4609mm in length, 1798mm in width, and 1464mm in height, featuring a wheelbase of 2640mm. The vehicle employs front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration, with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
My own car is a Buick Excelle GT, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. When replacing the filter, first open the glove box, and you'll see a clip or damping device. Gently push or remove it to access the filter compartment, which is on the inner panel. Last time I changed it, I found this design quite convenient—no tools needed, just a few minutes to complete. Just remember to close the glove box door properly to avoid loosening. The filters are usually made of paper or activated carbon, and it's recommended to replace them every 10,000–20,000 km or once a year. Otherwise, dust and odors can build up in the car. Especially when driving in the city where dust is heavy, frequent replacements ensure better AC performance and fresher air inside. If you're unsure how to do it, check the owner's manual—it has illustrated instructions.
