Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outs ide a ir (such as
dust o r pol len) are greatly reduced o r stop­
ped. The ai r is also fi ltered in recircu lation
mode.
The po llutant filter eleme nt must be changed
according to the intervals spec ified in the
maintena nce schedule so that the ai r cond i­
tioning sys tem's pe rforma nce is not adve rsely
a ffec ted.
If the filter's effect iveness is weakened by
d riving the vehicle in a reas with heavily pollut­
ed outside air, the fi lter elemen t shou ld al so
be changed be twee n the liste d se rvices.
