Volvo S60 air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the front passenger side. The replacement steps are as follows: 1. Remove the clips located in the front part of the engine compartment on the passenger side and take out the sound insulation cotton. Be careful not to damage the clips. 2. Remove the lower cover of the glove box. 3. Locate the fuse box inside, remove it, and you will see the cover of the air filter. 4. Open the clips on both sides of the cover and pull out the air filter. 5. After installing the new air filter, reassemble the air filter cover and sound insulation cotton according to the original steps.

Changing the Volvo cabin air filter is quite simple, and I often do it myself. First, locate the position, usually under the passenger seat, lift the carpet or small cover to find it. Prepare a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws on the cover, and carefully set them aside to avoid losing them. When pulling out the old filter, observe the direction of the arrow on it, and remember that the new filter must be installed in the same direction—installing it backward will affect the filtration efficiency. After replacing it, just put the cover back on and tighten the screws. This task should be done every 12 months or after driving over 10,000 kilometers to prevent poor air quality in the car from causing coughing or allergies. Different Volvo models may vary slightly, but the basic process is similar. This time, it only took me 15 minutes to replace it, saving money while ensuring fresh air inside the car.

As an experienced driver who has been driving for many years, I believe that changing the cabin air filter is all about the details. In most Volvo models, the filter is located under the glove compartment on the passenger side. First, empty the glove compartment, then press down on the clips on both sides to release it, and you'll see the filter housing. Use a screwdriver to remove the small screws and carefully take out the old filter—it might be clogged with dust and look dirty. Don't rush to throw it away; feel it, and if it's damp or has an odor, it's even more important to replace it immediately. When installing the new filter, make sure the arrow points in the direction of airflow, and ensure it fits snugly before reassembling. Don't forget to check if the cover is securely fastened to avoid rattling noises. This small step can prevent bacterial growth and protect respiratory health. I usually check it twice a year, in spring and autumn, to keep the cabin air clean and comfortable.

Maintaining good health is crucial for drivers, and regularly changing the cabin air filter can make a big difference. The filter is located under the passenger seat—just bend down and feel for the small cover. After opening the cover and removing the old filter, compare it with the new one to ensure the arrow direction is correct before reinstalling. The entire process only requires a Phillips screwdriver, and don’t forget to avoid crushing items in the glove box. Once replaced, the air will feel much fresher, reducing allergy risks. It’s recommended to check it every six months.
