The cabin air filter in the LaCrosse is located in the lower corner of the right windshield, inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The specific steps to access it are as follows: Use a 7mm socket to remove the five small screws on the glove compartment, then remove the right-side cover panel. At this point, the glove compartment can be taken out. After removing the glove compartment, you will see a long rectangular cover panel inside. Open this cover panel to access the cabin air filter. During each maintenance service, the cabin air filter can be cleaned, and it is generally recommended to replace it every 20,000 kilometers or so. The LaCrosse is a mid-to-high-end sedan introduced by Shanghai GM, positioned between the Regal and the Royaum. In terms of body dimensions, the older LaCrosse model measures 5005mm in length, 1858mm in width, and 1500mm in height.
Last time I changed the cabin air filter myself, I found the LaCrosse's design quite user-friendly. It's located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side - just open the glove box and you'll see the inner panel. Remove those plastic clips and you can access the filter housing. The first time I used a screwdriver to pry the clips, I was afraid of breaking them, but later discovered they just need a gentle upward push to release. Now I use affordable filters and replace them quarterly - the air blows much fresher, and I save over 200 yuan in labor costs. Remember to install the filter with arrows facing downward for proper filtration, and align the glove compartment with its rails when reassembling to ensure proper closure.
