Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volvo XC90?
2 Answers
Volvo XC90's cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The function of the cabin air filter is to absorb various harmful substances in the air, preventing passengers from being irritated due to allergies. Taking the 2021 Volvo XC90 Inscription Luxury 5-seater version as an example, it belongs to the mid-to-large SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4953mm, width 1958mm, height 1776mm, and a wheelbase of 2984mm. The 2021 Volvo XC90 Inscription Luxury 5-seater version is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 184kW at 5400-5700rpm, and maximum torque available between 1800-4800rpm.
In my years of driving the Volvo XC90, the cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the compartment door, locate the securing clips or screws, gently pull to remove the compartment, and the filter will be hidden inside. It's quite easy to replace it yourself – just a screwdriver is needed as a tool. I recommend replacing it every one to two years, especially in urban areas with heavy air pollution where more frequent changes may be necessary. This filter is responsible for filtering out dust and pollen from outside, keeping the air inside the car fresh, which is great for health. Replacing the filter promptly also ensures the air conditioning system runs more smoothly and prevents odors from developing. Last time I replaced it, I paid attention to the filter's direction to avoid installing it backward – it's good to watch an online tutorial once more to be safe.
