Volvo XC60's cabin air filter is located below the glove compartment on the passenger side. Below are the detailed steps for replacing the cabin air filter in a Volvo XC60: 1. Unscrew the two nuts below the glove compartment and lower the bottom panel. 2. Reach into the panel on the right side of the car's center console, apply slight force to remove the panel. 3. Lift the felt lining of the center console, then remove the wiring harness box inside the glove compartment to reveal the Volvo XC60's cabin air filter. 4. Remove the Volvo XC60's cabin air filter for replacement, then reassemble in reverse order following the previous steps.
I think the cabin air filter location on the XC60 is quite easy to find—it's hidden inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat, something you might normally overlook. I've opened the glove box myself a few times; you need to clear out any items inside, then remove a few clips or screws at the bottom, and with a gentle pull, the filter housing is revealed. When replacing it, it's best to choose genuine OEM parts to ensure high filtration efficiency, effectively trapping dust, pollen, and odor particles, keeping the cabin air fresh. I recommend replacing it once a year, especially for those who frequently drive in urban areas—it's a real hero on smoggy days, otherwise, the air from the AC might carry a bit of a dusty smell. Additionally, the glove box design is quite user-friendly; the clips are easy to unscrew, making it a DIY-friendly task even for beginners, saving some maintenance costs.
