Where is the cabin air filter located in the Cadillac CT6?
2 Answers
Cadillac CT6's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The primary function of the cabin air filter is to purify the air inside the vehicle, not only protecting passengers' health but also safeguarding the car's air conditioning system from damage. There are two types of cabin air filters used in vehicles: one is a standard cabin air filter, and the other is an activated carbon cabin air filter. The Cadillac CT6 is a premium luxury sedan under the Cadillac brand, with its exterior design drawing inspiration from some elements of the Elmiraj concept car. In terms of dimensions, the Cadillac CT6 measures 5184mm in length, 1879mm in width, 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3109mm.
I remember the cabin air filter for my Cadillac CT6 is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. I replaced it once myself, and it wasn't too difficult. That time, I opened the glove box and had to remove some screws or clips first. After opening the glove box, I could see a cover, and the filter was hidden inside after unscrewing the cover. When replacing it, pay attention to the direction of the filter—usually, the arrow should point in the direction of the airflow. Why is it placed there? The design is for easy maintenance and to keep it away from the engine to avoid excessive dust. Regularly replacing the filter is quite important. For example, I check it every 10,000 kilometers or every six months. Otherwise, the air inside the car can become stale, and there might be odors when the AC is on. Doing it yourself can save some money—all you need is a screwdriver. There are plenty of tutorial videos online, and the car manual also explains it very clearly.
