Pollutant filter
The po llutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outs ide a ir (such as
dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stop­ ped. The air is also f iltered in recirculation
mode .
The pollutant filter element must be changed according to the intervals spec ified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air cond i­
tioning system's pe rformance is not adversely
affected.
If the filter's effect iveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut­
ed outs ide a ir, the fi lter element should also
be changed in between the listed services.
,&. WARNING
For safety reasons, it is impo rtant that all
w indows are free o f ice, snow, a nd conden­
sation . Only then is good visib ility ensured .
Please fami liarize yourse lf wit h the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to deh umidify/defrost the windows.
