Overview of climatecontrol systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fog
up.
To preventt he windows from fogging up:
Rswitch off climate control only briefly
Rswitch on air-recirculation mode only briefly
Rswitch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function
Rswitch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
The air-conditionin gsystem or dual-zon eauto-
matic climate control regulates the temperature and the humidity of the vehicle interior and fil-
ters undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditionin gsystem or dual-zon eauto-
matic climate control can only be operated
when the engin eisrunning. Optimum operation
is only achieved with the side windows and pan- orama roof with power tilt/sliding panel closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,
the last selected climate control setting is reac-
tivated (
Ypage 83).
The residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(
Ypage 119). Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side trim panel in the cargo compartment clear
(
Ypage 106). Otherwise the vehicle will not be
ventilated correctly.
iVentilate the vehicle for abrief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (
Ypage 83). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
iThe integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollutants
and odors. Aclogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should alwayso bserve
the interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Maintenance Booklet. As it
depends on environmental conditions ,e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Maintenance Book-
let.
iIt is possible that under certain circumstan-
ces the residual heat function may be activa-
ted automatically an hour after the SmartKey
has been removed in order to dry the auto-
mat

ic climate control. The vehicle is then ven-
tilated for 30 minutes.

Maintenance and care
Z

ModelMB-Freigabe orMB-Approval
All models229.5
Use only SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 engine oils
for Mercedes-AMG vehicles.
iMB approval is indicated on the oil contain-
ers.
Fillingc apacities
The following values refer to an engine oil
change, including the oil filter.
ModelCapacity
Mercedes‑AM Gvehicles5.8 US qt (5.5 l)
All other models5.9 US qt (5.6 l)
Additives
!Do not use any additives in the engine oil.
This could damage the engine.
Brake fluid
GWARNING
The brake flui dconstantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
flui dist oo low,v aporpockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is arisk of an accident.
You should have the brake flui dreneweda t
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypag e315).
The brake flui dchange interval scan be found in
the Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake flui dapproved by Mercedes-
Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-
Approval3 31.0.
Information about approved brake flui dcan be
obtained at any qualified specialist workshop or
on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
iHave the brake flui dregularl yreplaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com- ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is arisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly cleant he
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. You
coul dotherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be found
in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Ser-
vice Products, MB BeVo 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
Or contact aqualified specialist workshop.
!Always use asuitable coolant mixture, even
in countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosiona nd
overheating.
iHave the coolant regularl yreplaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the replace-
ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(
Ypag e315).
The coolant is amixture of water and corrosion
inhibitor/antifreeze concentrate. It performs
the following tasks:
RAnti-corrosion protection
RAntifreeze protection
RRaising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to -35 ‡(-37 †), the boiling point of the coolant
during operation is approximatel y266 ‡
(130 †).
