According to many riders, it is very troublesome to change the air conditioner filter element of our car. Today, for this “very troublesome”, do it yourself, also test my hands-on ability, and personally experience how difficult it is to change the air-conditioning filter element of Volvo XC60.
My car is nodding just 20, 000 kilometers away, just in line with the standard set in the maintenance manual: 20, 000 kilometers to change the air-conditioning filter element. To make a long story short, let’s talk about my operation.
Preparation: find a bright place with a slightly larger parking space. Prepare a T15 hexagonal plum blossom screwdriver, a flashlight, and a new air conditioning filter element.

Found an open space, today is still cloudy, not very hot, suitable for changing air conditioning filter element operation

The more I look at my car, the more I like it. This blue is very beautiful. Because I painted Polaris, I changed the T5 at the rear of the car to T6, which reached the parameters of T6 itself.

Adjust the copilot seat, press and hold the electric adjustment button, and move the seat to the left.

Put the removed foot mat on the ground, and later people can kneel on it and change the filter element.
Third, disassemble the guard plate

First, remove the lower guard plate of the glove box.

Put the removed screw under the table and chair so as not to lose it.

There is a lamp on the lower guard of the glove box. Pull the power plug.

Put the plug aside and remove the guard plate.

Reach into the lower guard with your hand, break it out, and the lower guard will fall off.
Open the safe box

There are two safe boxes under the glove box, one is bigger and the other is smaller. It is a small safe box to be removed. It is very simple. Reach to the top of the safe box with your hand and break it down a little hard, and the safe box will fall off.

The safe box has a power plug. It has to be unplugged, otherwise it will be pulled.

Take out the new air conditioner filter element. I didn’t buy the original one, so it’s a little different from the original one.

Reset the safe box, aim the clip at the top hole, plug it in, and try to pull it.

Reset the side guard, first put the rightmost side into the seam, aim the clip at the hole, press it, and then press the rest of the clip into the hole.
