The dust filter removes most particles of
dust and pollen drawn in from the outside
air.
The interval for replacing the filter de-
pends on environmental factors, e.g. high
air pollution. The interval may be shorter

Keep the air inlet between the bonnet and the
windscreen free from ice and snow.
Position the sliders for the centre air vents in
the centre position to provide virtually draught-
free ventilation.
