lutant sand odours. Aclogged filter reduces
the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason ,you should always
observ ethe interval for replacin gthe filter,
which is specified in the Service Booklet. As this depends on environmental conditions,
e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i It is possible that the residual heat func-
tion may be activated automatically an hour
after the key has been removed. The vehi-
cle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic climat econtrol. 156
