The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures that contaminants in the
outside air (such as dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stopped.
The air is also filtered in recirculation mode.
The pollutant fil ter element must be changed according to the inter -
vals specified in the maintenance schedu le so that the air condi-
tioning system's performance is not adversely affected.
If the fil ter's effectiveness is weakened by driving the vehicle in
areas with heavi ly polluted outside air, the filter element should also
be changed in between the listed services .

[ i ] Tips
• To avoid adversely affecting heating and cooling performance
and to prevent condensation on the windows, the air intake in front
of the windsh ield must be free of ice, snow, and leaves.
• The air coming from the vents and circu lating through the entire
interior is extracted through the out let slots in the side panels in the
luggage compartment. Make sure that the outlet slots are not
covered by cloth ing, etc.
• Climate control works most effectively if the windows are closed .
However , if the interior of a parked vehicle is extremely hot from the
sun's rays, briefly opening the windows can speed up the cooling
process. •
