Replacing the Cabin Air Filter

Model: Chevrolet Cruze MK 1, J300 - Years 2009-2015
Part: Cabin air filter

The cabin air filter is located just behind the glove compartment: to replace it, simply unclip the glove compartment to access the filter container. Once the drawer is open, unclip the end stop cable and press on the sides to retract the sliding guides, allowing the glove compartment to swing down. At this point, unclip the cover of the cabin air filter container, remove the old filter, and insert the new one, ensuring the airflow direction is correct. Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the glove compartment.
