Overview of climate control systems
Notes on climate control
An interior air Nlter in combination with the preNl-
ter in the engine compartment must always be
used so that the air conditioning system, pollution level monitoring and the air Nltration work cor-
rectly. Use Nlters recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Always have maintenance work
carried out at a qualiNed specialist workshop.
