Healthy air solution from the Nordic forest
Inspired by our origins in the vast Nordic forest region, we bring healthy air to drivers and
passengers. Our Nordzone™ solution upgrades the climate system of your car, keeping the air
inside healthy even when driving in dense trafc. Less exposure to airborne allergens and air
pollution can ease asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as prevent respiratory problems.
•Healthier- removes harmful fine dust, pollen, PM2.5 and ultrafine particles, smoke and odor.
Filters out and deactivates bacteria and virus.
•Safer- no need for recirculation, less risk for CO2 build up which can cause drowsiness.
•Easier- fully integrated with no loose items so you can focus on driving.
PM2.5 Bacteria Virus Pollen Soot
Smoke Odor Exhaust fumes VOC CO2

Technology – active air cleaning
The two-stage technology is based on HEPASilent™, the technology invented by Blueair that
is already used in millions of homes, ofces and public spaces. It combines the effect of an
optimized mechanical lter with active particle charging technology, which captures the particles
more effectively than in a passive lter-only system. The polluted outdoor air is cleaned before it
enters the cabin and replaces the in-cabin air with fresh and clean air.
•The particle charging unit – charges tiny particles such as PM2.5 , harmful gases, bacteria
and viruses so they get trapped in the filter.
•The optimized filter – captures large particles such as pollen, dust and debris that has a
direct, noticeable effect on breathing. The Nordzone™ System original filter also includes
activated carbon which eliminates unpleasant odors.

IMPORTANT! The location of fuse box and filter compartment may differ depending
on vehicle model. Consult the service manual of the car if necessary.
2. Remove the cover(s) of the fuse box.
3. Select a fuse location that is only supplying power when the ignition is turned on. Consult
the service manual of the car if necessary. Remove the original fuse, if any.
4. If the selected fuse location already had a fuse, insert it in the empty slot of the fuse tap
connector. If not, use the fuse included in the product box and insert it in the empty slot of
the fuse tap connector.
5. Insert the fuse tap connector in the selected fuse location.
IMPORTANT! To avoid the risk of draining the battery, the fuse tap should connect
to a fuse that does not supply power when the ignition is turned off.
6. Connect the ground connector to the ground screw. Use a screwdriver.
7. Connect the fuse tap cable to the red cable in the main power cord.
8. Remove the housings between the filter compartment and the fuse box, and route the
main power cord between them.
9. Connect the main power cord to the Nordzone System in the filter compartment. Check
that power is supplied to the product when the ignition is turned on, and that power is
cut when the ignition is turned off. The installation is successful if the LED of the product
indicates green. If it indicates red or does not light up, see section Troubleshooting.
10. Remount the housings and cover(s), if any, and make sure that the main power cord is

The Nordzone™ Air quality monitor
The user can upgrade the Nordzone System with the Nordzone Air quality monitor. The monitor
is included as part of the Nordzone System Premium unit, or purchased separately. This unit
monitors and visualizes the levels of particles and gases inside the cabin and will alert the user to
temporarily increased levels of PM, VOC and CO2 in situations like trafc jams, tunnel driving or
overuse of recirculation mode.
The design is discrete, and the user interface is easy to understand at a glance, meaning you can
focus on the driving.
Interface
The Nordzone Air quality monitor measures air quality continuously, displaying the result on the
light scale. There are separate light scales, one for PM levels (A) and one for VOCs and CO2 (B).
•White light = no action needed.
•Orange light = pay attention and take action.
•Red light = take immediate action.
1. Healthy air – no action needed.
2. Fresh air but not clean (increased PM2.5) – close windows, temporarily activate
recirculation mode.
3. Clean air but not fresh (increased VOC/CO2) – open fresh air intake.

Installation and placement
IMPORTANT!
Do not cover the unit: Place the Nordzone™ Air quality unit in a position where the
air can fully circulate.
The Nordzone Air quality monitor should be placed inside the cabin where the driver can see the
interface clearly without being distracted from driving. The bottom plate of the monitor is magnetic
and has a high friction rubber surface, making it easy to attach to a magnetic holder (not included)
or the center console. The Nordzone Air Quality monitor is connected via USB-C cable.
The CabinAir app
The app contains detailed information about your Nordzone System product. It indicates that it is
working properly and displays the correct product version. When paired with Nordzone Air quality
monitor the app compares real-time air quality data in-cabin and outdoors. It also shows historical
data and gives recommendations for how air quality can be further improved.
Download the latest version of the CabinAir app from www.cabinair.com/app.
How to improve the air quality in your car
•Close all windows to prevent polluted air entering the cabin without passing the Nordzone
System filtration solution.
•Avoid overuse of recirculation mode as this may cause CO2 to build up, leading to
drowsiness.
•If the app or monitor indicates increased particle levels in situations such as driving in
tunnels, temporarily turn on air recirculation. Make sure fan speed is at a sufficient level and
follow the air quality progress in the app or on the monitor to track CO2build up.
•If the app or monitor indicates increased VOC and CO2 levels, turn on fresh air mode.
