Removing the air filter cover on a Volvo S80L is indeed straightforward. First, ensure the car is parked and turned off, then open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Clear out any items inside to make the process easier. Locate the plastic liner panel inside the compartment, which is usually secured by several plastic clips. Gently press or pull it toward you to release it. This will reveal the square-shaped air filter cover. Press the small clips on both sides of the cover with your thumb and index finger to release and remove it. Once the cover is off, the old filter can be pulled out directly. When installing the new filter, pay attention to the airflow direction marked by the arrow to avoid installing it backward. After replacing the filter, reattach the cover by securing the clips and reassemble the liner panel. Avoid using excessive force to prevent damage to the plastic parts. Replacing the filter will improve cabin air quality by removing trapped dust and enhancing AC performance. It’s recommended to replace the filter annually—doing it yourself saves money and promotes a healthier driving environment.
