Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volvo S80L?

Volvo S80L's cabin air filter is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. The functions of the cabin air filter are: 1. To separate dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 2. To ensure clean air in the cabin and prevent bacterial growth. Taking the 2015 Volvo S80L Executive Edition as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of 4991mm in length, 1861mm in width, 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2976mm. The 2015 Volvo S80L Executive Edition is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 157 kW at 6000 rpm and a maximum torque of 300 Nm.
As a seasoned Volvo S80L driver with years of experience, I'm very familiar with the cabin air filter location. It's positioned behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to first open the glove box, remove all items inside, then unscrew several plastic screws at the bottom or sides. After removing the glove box, you'll see a square filter housing - simply pull out the old filter and insert the new one. The design is quite user-friendly, requiring no special tools, and the whole process takes just minutes. I recommend replacing it annually or every 20,000 km, especially in dusty or polluted areas, as this significantly improves cabin air quality and AC efficiency. The filter plays a crucial role - it traps dust and pollen, prevents odor buildup, and prolonged neglect may increase blower motor load and fuel consumption. DIY replacement is much more economical than visiting a dealership. Just remember to purchase the correct OEM filter model - don't compromise quality for price.
