The method for replacing the cabin air filter in a Volvo S60L is as follows: 1. Remove the damping rods on both sides of the glove box; 2. Take off the glove box to reveal a black rectangular cover panel, pry it open and remove the clips; 3. Take out the old cabin air filter; 4. Install the new cabin air filter. Taking the 2021 Volvo S60L as an example, it is a mid-size sedan with body dimensions of: length 4761mm, width 1850mm, height 1437mm, wheelbase 2872mm, and a trunk capacity of 391 liters. The 2021 Volvo S60L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 163PS, maximum power of 120kW, maximum torque of 265Nm, and is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
As a Volvo S60L owner, I often change the cabin air filter myself. First, turn off the engine to prevent electric shock, then move to the front passenger seat. Open the glove box, locate the small latch on the right side, and gently press it to fully lower the glove box. See the inner panel? After removing a few screws or clips, the filter cover will be exposed. Carefully take out the old filter – there's quite a bit of dust, so wear gloves and a mask. When purchasing a new filter, verify the model matches the manual, and install it with the arrow pointing toward the rear of the car to ensure proper airflow direction. After installation, check the seal to prevent leaks – the whole process takes about ten minutes. Replacing it annually or every 10,000 km keeps the cabin air fresh, reduces allergens, and saves on repair costs. I prefer replacing it in spring and autumn to avoid musty odors affecting health.
