NOTICE Depending on equipment there are various filters for this vehicle.

In vehicles with manual air conditioning control, the dust and pollen filter is installed ex-factory "without" activated carbon filter.

When servicing a dust and pollen filter with activated charcoal - Parts catalogue can be fitted in these vehicles.

The activated carbon filter takes over the function of a dust and pollen filter, but also filters dangerous gaseous pollutants such as ozone, benzene or nitrogen dioxide, etc.

A saturated filter can no longer absorb any hazardous substances.
