Try the little openings in front of the windshield, they are the air vents. Volvo makes a cover for these called a snow cowl cover. IPD sells them for about $39.00 and are well worth it. Check other posts on the subject. The smell you are getting is due to the clogging of the air passages that run to the a/c vents. There is mold growing. Again check the posts on the problem, it can be cured. These vents run all the way down each side of the interior and there are a few clean-out points along the way. As in the area where the seatbelts attach to the door posts at the bottom. There is a plug you can remove and use a small hose to flush it. There are several posts and pics on the subject. Sorry never tried the fresh air filter. If the evaporator drain is plugged it will leave the carpet damp in that area. Oh yea DON"T PARK UNDER TREES, the result is clogged vents..
