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 .

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.
