General
Blueair Cabin P2iD car air purifier
The Blueair Cabin P2iD car air purifier is designed
for use in medium-size to large cars, purifiying the
air while the car is in use.
Blueair´s HEPASilent™ advanced filtration
technology enables the car air purifier to remove
harmful pollutants (i.e. VOCs such as
Formaldehyde), particles and odors.
The car air purifier comprises two units (a main unit
and an extension unit) which are connected with a
3m extension cable.
The car air purifier monitors the particle level in
your car, displays the current air quality on your
smartphone and provides app control.
When Auto mode is active, the fan is automatically
adjusted based on the readings from the built-in
laser particle sensor, thus achieving optimal air
purification.
A control knob (also 12V power) enables the driver
to either change the fan speeds (3 speed options)
or activate the Auto mode program.
The particle level and current fan setting are
indicated on the top of the control knob. (Refer to
section “Functionality” for more detailed
information).
A 4,5m cable connects the control knob to the
main unit so that it can be installed behind a
backseat headrest.
The product is equipped with an easily accessible
USB charging port so that back seat passengers can
charge another device while the cabin air is
cleaned. Similarly, a USB charging port on the
control knob is available for use by the driver or
front seat passenger.

To avoid a hazard, a supply cable must always be replaced (because of damage, malfunction
or any other reason) by the manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified person.
Do not spill any liquids such as water, detergents or flammable solvents on the device. Do not
use the device if any liquids have spilled on it. If there is a spill, wipe the exterior of the unit
with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
Use only the mounting strap included in the box and ensure that the unit is securely fastened
as specified. Blueair disclaims all liability for any harm or accident caused by improper
installation, usage, disassembly and maintenance by any user or third party.
The car air purifier is an electrical appliance. Read these safety instructions carefully before
use and take the necessary precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
The car air purifier warranty applies only if the product is used according to these
instructions.
Please do not adjust the settings, or look at the display of the car air purifier whilst driving.
Please do not look at your mobile phone whilst driving. You must comply with all applicable
safe driving laws and behaviours, including those addressing the use of mobile devices.

Therefore we highly recommend using an ignition-controlled 12V power outlet in the car to
avoid the risk of draining the car battery.
