Where is the cabin air filter located in the LaCrosse?
2 Answers
Buick LaCrosse's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The specific replacement procedure is as follows: 1. Insert a screwdriver into the gap on the right side of the glove compartment plastic panel: gently pry it open. 2. After prying up the plastic panel: use the screwdriver to remove the screws inside. 3. After removing the screws: gently press the plastic clips on the panel while pulling it outward. 4. Once the panel is removed: you will see the LaCrosse's cabin air filter. When removing the filter, you must release the 3 plastic clips above it, otherwise it cannot be taken out. 5. After installing the new cabin air filter: reassemble the plastic panel by reversing the removal sequence. The entire Buick LaCrosse cabin air filter replacement process is now complete.
The cabin air filter in my LaCrosse is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I was a bit nervous when I replaced it last time. There are two clips under the glove box—just gently pry them open and lower the entire glove box to reveal a small plastic cover. Unscrew it to remove the old filter, which was completely covered in dust. There are video tutorials online, and it’s quite simple. I recommend replacing it every six months to avoid odors. In northern areas with heavy wind and sand, a clogged filter can reduce airflow and cause a musty smell in the car. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver. Beginners shouldn’t worry about damaging anything—after replacing it, breathing feels much smoother, and the air purification effect is noticeably better.
