Part: Cabin air filter

As shown in this tutorial, replacing the cabin air filter on a Chevrolet Optra, also marketed as Daewoo Lacetti and Baojun 630, is a very simple and quick operation. The filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, simply go underneath the dashboard without needing to remove the glove box. Once you locate the long rectangular cover, remove the 4 screws along the perimeter using a 7mm socket wrench.
