Air quality
General information
The air quality in the interior is improved by the
following components:
▷ Emission tested passenger compartment.
▷ Interior filter.
▷ Air conditioning system to control the
temperature, air flow and recirculated-air
mode.
▷ Stationary climate control.
Interior filter
The interior filter cleans the incoming fresh
air or the circulated interior air in recirculation

Climate control
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A6B2E9 - X/22
▷ Gaseous pollutants are filtered.
▷ Microbial particles, viruses and allergens
are filtered.
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
having the interior filter changed during vehicle
maintenance.
Pre-conditioning
Principle
Pre-conditioning cools or heats the vehicle in-
terior to a comfortable temperature prior to
starting the trip depending on the inside and
outside temperature. Snow and ice may be re-
moved more easily.
General information
The pre-conditioning can be switched on and
off directly or via a preset departure time.
Depending on the equipment, the following cli-
mate control functions are controlled automati-
cally:
▷ Panel heating.
▷ Active seat ventilation.
▷ Steering wheel heating
▷ Rear window defroster.
▷ Mirror heating.
The air automatically exits through the air
vents to the windshield, the side windows, the
upper body area and into the footwell.
The system switches off automatically after
approx. 30 minutes or when the drive-ready
state is activated.
If pre-conditioning is used during the charg-
ing process, less air conditioning capacity will
be required while driving. This optimizes the
range.
