Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully  
automatic air quality system that separates  
gases and particles to reduce the levels of  
odours and contaminants in the passenger  
compartment.

Package (CZIP) and cleans the air in the pas-  
senger compartment from contaminants such  
as particles, hydrocarbons, nitrous oxides and  
ground-level ozone.
