The air conditioning system is equipped with an air filter to
reduce pollen and dust entering the cabin.
The air filter’s ability to collect pollen and dust will be reduced
as it becomes dirty, so replace it periodically. For the mainte-
nance interval, refer to the “WARRANTY AND MAINTE-
NANCE MANUAL”.NOTE
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road or frequent use of the air conditioning can reduce the
service life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is
lower than normal or when the windshield or windows
start to fog up easily, replace the air filter.
Contact a certified i-MiEV dealer for assistance.

ing the information of MP3 files recorded with certain

on CD-Rs/RWs” on page 5-40.
CAUTION
!
Attempting to play a file not in the MP3 format
