Abstract

A method for the treatment of air of a compressed air system for a motor vehicle, the compressed air system comprising an air compressor, an air dryer and an ambient temperature sensor, wherein an exchange operation of a system air volume is performed by the air compressor, wherein during the exchange operation a part of the system air from the compressed air system is released into the surroundings and ambient air is filled into the compressed air system. The method includes determining a current ambient temperature value (TU) using the ambient temperature sensor, checking a first condition, whether or not the current ambient temperature value (TU) is lower than a temperature limit value (TG), and performing the exchange operation to lower the dew point of the system air by the air dryer if the first condition is satisfied.
