Where is the cabin air filter located in the Cadillac XTS?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Cadillac XTS is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It ensures the filter fits tightly against the housing, preventing unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. It separates solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and abrasive particles from the air; 3. It absorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2, and other substances from the air. The Cadillac XTS is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the Cadillac brand, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the lineup. This engine delivers a maximum power of 198 kW and a maximum torque of 353 N·m, with the maximum power achieved at 5,300 rpm and the maximum torque available between 2,000 and 5,000 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven a Cadillac XTS, and the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove box. After opening the glove box, there are small clips or screws on both sides that need to be removed to access the filter housing. It's not difficult to replace; I change it once a year myself. Clean air is important, otherwise, the car can develop a dusty smell. The location isn't too complicated, but remember to prepare your tools and clear your toolbox before replacing it—this saves time and effort.
