Where is the cabin air filter located in the Chevrolet Captiva?

The cabin air filter in the Chevrolet Captiva is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, simply remove the glove compartment. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the car's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, reduces respiratory discomfort, minimizes irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The Chevrolet Captiva is a mid-size SUV under the Chevrolet brand, with dimensions of 4690mm in length, 1849mm in width, and 1753mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2707mm. The Chevrolet Captiva uses an automatic transmission with manual shift mode, features an L-type cylinder arrangement, and employs a naturally aspirated intake system.
I remember when driving the Chevrolet Captiva, the cabin air filter was mainly hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you first need to empty the contents of the glove box, then release the clips or screws on both sides, and gently pull out the panel to reveal the filter housing. Doing it yourself isn’t difficult—it saves money and is convenient. I check it every six months or 10,000 kilometers, especially after spring and autumn when pollen and dust can clog the filter, affecting cabin air quality. The airflow may carry odors, and dust buildup can affect the AC blower. The Captiva is positioned as a family SUV, and the filter location is designed quite user-friendly. With a matching new filter ready, the whole process takes at most 10 minutes while maintaining a healthy cabin environment.
