Pollut ant filter
The po llutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants in the outside air (such as
dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stop-
ped. The air is also filtered in recirculation
mode .
The po llutant filter element must be changed
according to the intervals spec ified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air condi-
tioning system's performance is not adversely
affected .
If the filter's effect iveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut-
ed outs ide air, the f ilter element should also
be changed between the listed services.
A WARNING

windows are free of ice, snow, and conden-
sat ion. Only then is good visib ility ensured.
Please fam iliarize yourse lf with the correct
operation of the air conditioning and how
to deh umidify/defrost the windows .
