POLLEN FILTER

The climate control system can be fitted (upon request) with a special dust/pollen filter made from polyester on the outside and electrostatically charged polycarbonate fibres on the inside (see figure).

This filter has the specific capability of combining the mechanical air filtering with an electrostatic effect so that the outside air admitted to the passenger compartment is purified and free of contaminants such as dust, pollen, etc.

Filter cross section

1. Polycarbonate fibres
2. Polyester fibres (non woven fabric)

N.B.: The conditions of the filtering element should be checked once a year, preferably at the beginning of summer. It should be checked more frequently if the car is habitually used in the city or dusty areas.
