The climate control functions are activated for
up to Nve minutes for pre-heating and pre-
cooling.
Pre-entry climate control via unlocking cannot be
activ
ated more than three times in succession
when the vehicle is switched oM.

WARNING Risk of f
atal injury due to expo-
sure to extreme heat or cold in the vehicle

there is a risk of severe injury or even death. 
Never leave persons, particularly chil-
dr
en, unattended in the vehicle. 188

WARNING Risk of bur ns due to repeatedly
switching on the seat heating
Repeatedly switching on the seat heating can
cause t
he seat cushion and seat backrest pad-
ding to become very hot.
In particular, the health of persons with limited
temperature sensitivity or a limited ability to
react to high temperatures may be aMected or
they may even suMer burn-like injuries. 
Do not repeatedly switch on the seat
heating. To protect against overheating, the seat heating
ma

y be temporarily deactivated aser it has been
switched on repeatedly.
The air inside the vehicle can be heated, ventila-
t
ed or cooled to the set temperature when the
vehicle is parked.
When the vehicle is connected to power supply
equipment, priority will be given to charging the
high-voltage battery to a speciNed minimum
charge. The running time of pre-entry climate control may
be r
educed in the following circumstances:
= The vehicle is not connected to power supply
equipment.
= The high-voltage battery is not fully charged.
With active pre-entry climate control, the charge
level of the high-voltage battery may be reduced,
even if the charging cable connector is connec-
ted.
If present, seat ventilation will be activated in
cooling and ventilation modes.
If present, the following functions will be activated
in heating mode:
= Seat heating
= Steering wheel heater
= Mirror heater
= Rear window heater
= Windscreen heater
When the set temperature is changed, the climate
control mode will automatically be updated. It will
be switched from heating mode to ventilation or
cooling mode, from cooling mode to ventilation or heating mode or from ventilation mode to heating
or cooling mode.
Depending on t
he vehicle's equipment, the follow-
ing functions will also be adjusted during pre-
entry climate control if they have already been
switched on during regular vehicle operation:

If the range maximisation function is activa-
t

desired state of charge is automatically deter-
mined during a charging stop. This is used as
an approximate departure time for pre-entry
climate control and is set automatically.
Departure times previously set cannot be edi-
ted when the function is switched on. The
automatically determined departure time can
be activated or deactivated via the air condi-
tioning menu.

Pr

e-entry climate control will take place for
the selected seats. If a departure time is set, a yellow LED will appear
on t

he climate bar of the central display. In addi-
tion, an LED on the climate bar will indicate when
pre-entry climate control is activated. It lights up
blue when the vehicle is being cooled and red
when it is being heated.
Operation using the app: the pre-entry climate
control for departure time can also be set via the
Mercedes me connect app. You can Nnd further

Activating/deactivating pre-entry climate control
for departure time
Requirements: = The high-voltage battery is charged suP-
ciently.
= The function has been activated via the multi-
media system. 
To activate: se t the departure time
( page 189).
Pre-entry climate control for departure time
will switch on a maximum of 55 minutes
before the selected departure time. It will
remain active for another Nve minutes if depar-
ture is delayed. 
To deactivate the pre-entry climate control for
depar

ture time early: press ; on the cli-
mate bar on the central display or switch oM
the preselection of the time in the climate
menu.
If present, the following functions will remain
activ

Notes on Mercedes-AMG vehicles

Supplement, o
therwise you may fail to recognise
dangers.

WARNING Risk of c
hemical burns and poi-
soning from damaged high-voltage battery
If the housing of the high-voltage battery has
been damag
ed, electrolyte and gases may
leak out. 
Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or
clo

thing. 
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes
oM wit

h water and seek medical atten-
tion straight away. &
DANGER Risk of Nr
e and explosion from
excessive internal pressure of the high-
voltage battery
In the event of a vehicle Nr
e, Oammable gas
can escape and ignite. 
Stop the charging process immediately
in case of unusual odour

s, smoke or
burn marks. 
Leave the danger zone immediately.
Secur

e the danger zone at a suPcient
distance. 
Call the Nr
e service. Observe the following notes on vehicle noise
emissions and t
he acoustic vehicle alert system:
= The vehicle is equipped with a purely electric
drive system and produces considerably lower vehicle noise emissions than vehicles with a
combus
tion engine.
It is for this reason that the vehicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which serves as
an acoustic vehicle alert system (AVAS).
= The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when the vehicle
is driving forwards or reversing at a speed of
up to around 30 km/h.
This helps other road users, particularly
pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle
better.
= When you drive at speeds above 20 km/h the
acoustic vehicle alert system will gradually
switch oM.
= Despite the sound generator, the vehicle still
may not be heard by other road users. Adapt
your driving style accordingly.
= The sound generator will be oM when the vehi-
cle is stationary. 194

DANGER Risk of deat
h and Nre due to
modiNed and/or damaged components of
the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem
The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical
sy
stem is under high voltage. If you modify
component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage
on-board electrical system or touch damaged
component parts, you may be electrocuted. In
addition, modiNed and/or damaged compo-
nents may cause a Nre.
In the event of an accident or impact to the
vehicle underbody, components of the high-
voltage electrical system may be damaged
although the damage is not visible. 
Never make any modiNcations t
o the
high-voltage on-board electrical system. 
Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its
high-v
oltage on-board electrical system components have been
modiNed or dam-
ag
ed. 
Never touch damaged components of
t

he high-voltage on-board electrical sys-
tem. 
Aser an accident, do no
t touch any com-
ponents of the high-voltage on-board
electrical system. 
Aser an accident, ha
ve the vehicle trans-
ported away. 
Have the components of the high-voltage
on-boar
d electrical system checked at a
qualiNed specialist workshop and
replaced if necessary. Requirements:
Onl

y disconnect the high-voltage on-board electri-
cal system manually in the following situations:
= The 6 restraint system warning lamp lights
up in the driver's display, e.g. aser an acci-
dent. =
The v
ehicle is badly damaged, e.g. aser an
accident, and the restraint system compo-
nents have not been triggered.

Only disconnect the high-voltage on-board electri-
cal system manually in the above-mentioned sit-
uations.

WARNING Risk of accident and injur
y due
to leaving children unattended in the vehi-
cle
If children are les unatt
ended in the vehicle,
they could, in particular:
= open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.
= get out and be struck by oncoming traPc.
= operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion by, for example:
= releasing the parking brake.
= changing the transmission position.
= starting the vehicle. 196
Driving and parking


Never leave children unattended in the
v ehicle. 
When leaving the vehicle, always take the

hildren. Requirements:
= t

he key is in the vehicle and is recognised.
= the brake pedal is not depressed. Vehicles with central display Vehicles with MBUX Hyperscreen
