Volvo S60's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Simply remove the glove compartment to access it. The function of the cabin air filter is to absorb various harmful substances in the air. If the filter is not replaced regularly, it will accumulate more and more harmful impurities, and the filtering efficiency will not perform at its normal level, leading to severe bacterial growth inside the vehicle. The Volvo S60 is a Nordic luxury midsize sedan under the Volvo Car Corporation, with dimensions of 4761mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1437mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2872mm. It features a dual exterior design: the Luxury Edition with a predominantly bright silver style and the Sport Edition with a predominantly glossy black style. In terms of exterior design, the Volvo S60 has added chrome trim to the side fog light area, uses full LED lighting for the taillights, and adopts a dual-exhaust layout at the bottom of the bumper.

Like many others, I am a Volvo S60 owner. Once, when I noticed an unpleasant odor in the car, I checked the location of the cabin air filter, which turned out to be behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, I opened the glove compartment and found a small clip. After removing it, I could see the filter cover. Typically, the filter is located near the airbox and can be pulled out directly for replacement with a new one. I also learned that this filter is crucial as it traps dust and pollen. It's recommended to replace it every year or every 20,000 kilometers to ensure fresh air inside the car. Regular attention to this can prevent mold in the air conditioning system and protect your health. If not replaced, using the AC could instead draw in dirty particles, affecting your breathing.

What is the normal water temperature when driving?

When driving, the normal water temperature is between 80 to 90 degrees Celsius. The water temperature refers to the temperature of the coolant. Inside the engine, besides the oil passages, there are also coolant passages. The full name of the coolant is antifreeze coolant, and its important functions are to cool and lower the engine temperature, while also providing antifreeze protection in winter. When the water temperature reaches 90 degrees, it indicates that the engine's working temperature has stabilized. Both excessively high or low water temperatures can easily damage the engine. A temperature that is too low is not conducive to engine lubrication, while a temperature that is too high can cause the engine to spontaneously combust. During daily driving, it is important to monitor the water temperature indicator on the dashboard. If the red light comes on, do not continue driving. It is recommended that the driver pull over to let the engine cool down.

How to Repair Leather Seats Damaged by Cigarette Burns?

Methods to repair leather seats damaged by cigarette burns: 1. Find a piece of leather that matches the color of the seat and trim it neatly; 2. Use fine sandpaper to smooth the area, then proceed with the repair; 3. After smoothing, apply leather glue to the back of the damaged edge and the front of the leather patch, fix it in place, and wait for the glue to dry. If the seat damage is too severe to repair, it is recommended to take it to a professional repair shop. If it is truly beyond repair, consider replacing the seat or covering it with a seat cover. If the car seat only has surface scratches or minor abrasions, first clean the damaged area thoroughly to remove any dust. If the damage is very minor, you can directly apply leather finishing paste to the seat. The amount applied should not be excessive; it should be level with the seat surface.

Can a 4S shop do touch-up painting?

4S shops can perform touch-up painting. If the damaged paint area is relatively small, a touch-up usually covers an area about the size of a palm. 4S shops are equipped with more advanced and professional tools, use higher-quality paint, and have more precise color-matching capabilities, giving them an advantage in paint mixing and color matching. Here are some additional details: 1. For small paint damage, you can use a dedicated touch-up pen designed for your specific vehicle model to apply a small amount, which helps prevent rust and avoids the need for extensive touch-up work. 2. For minor scratches, such as those caused by tree branches or car washing, applying car wax multiple times can help reduce the appearance of most scratches. 3. If the vehicle has noticeable scratches or the paint is chipped down to the primer, immediate repair is necessary to prevent the metal from rusting, which could lead to large-scale corrosion over time.

What does R18 on the wheel mean?

R18 on the wheel indicates that the car's tires are radial tires, configured for 18-inch rims. Car tires are one of the important components of a vehicle, working together with the suspension system to cushion the impact forces experienced during driving, ensuring good comfort and smooth operation. Tires can be categorized by structure into radial tires and bias-ply tires; by tread pattern into rib pattern tires, transverse pattern tires, and mixed pattern tires; and by size into full-size spare tires and non-full-size spare tires. Full-size spare tires have specifications identical to the tires used on the car, while non-full-size tires have smaller diameters and widths and can only be used temporarily as substitutes, with a speed limit not exceeding 80 kilometers per hour.
