Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures that
contaminants in the outside air (such as dust or
pollen) are great ly reduced or stopped. The air is
also filtered i n recirculation mode.
The pollutant filter e lement must be changed ac
cording to the intervals spec ified in the mainte
nance schedu le so that the a ir cond ition ing sys
tem's performance is not adversely affected.
If the f ilter's effect iveness is weakened by driving
the vehicle in areas with heavily polluted outside
air, the filter eleme nt should also be changed be
tween the listed serv ices .
