Replacing the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system filter (Chevrolet Lacetti J200)

Filter of air entering the car interior through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (cabin filter), must be replaced every 15 thousand km. When operating a car in a dusty area, the mileage between element replacements should be reduced by 1.5–2 times. A deformed or damaged element must be replaced regardless of the mileage.

The filter cover is located in the vehicle interior behind the glove compartment above the front passenger's feet.

It is more convenient to replace the filter with the glove compartment removed (see Removal the glove compartment).



Using a 7 mm wrench (head) or a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the four screws securing the filter cover…



…and remove the cover from the air conditioning unit housing.





We pull the filter out of the air conditioning unit housing until it stops in the carpeted floor…



…and we fold the filter along the technological sections of its frame (for clarity, shown with the filter removed).



We completely remove the filter from the air conditioning unit housing.

We install the new filter in the reverse order.
