Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter (particle filter) ensures
that contaminants
in the outside air (such as
dust or pollen) are greatly reduced or stop-
ped. The air is also filtered in recirculation
mode.
The pollutant filter element must be changed
according to the intervals specified in the
maintenance schedule so that the air condi-
tioning system's performance is not adversely
affected.
If the filter 's effectiveness is weakened by
driving the vehicle in areas with heavily pollut-
ed outside air, the filter element should also
be changed between the listed services.
Energy management
To prevent the battery from being discharged
and to restore the balance of energy, compo-
nents which require large amounts of energy
are temporarily cut back or switched off
¢ page
147. Heating systems in particular re-
quire a great deal of energy. If you notice , for
example, that the rear window heater is not
heating, then it has been temporarily cut back
or switched off by energy management.
These systems are available again as soon as
the energy balance has been restored.

Tips
- To avoid adversely affecting heating and
cooling performance and to prevent con-
densation on the windows, the air intake
in front of the windshield must be free of
ice, snow, and leaves .
- Climate control works most effectively if
the windows are closed. However, if the
interior of a parked vehicle is extremely
hot from the sun's rays, briefly opening
the windows can speed up the cooling
process.
