Notes on climate control system
The climate control system is operational
whenever the engine is running. You can
operate the climate control system in either
the automatic or manual mode. The system
cools or heats the interior depending on the
selected interior temperature.
It can only function optimally when you are
driving with the windows and the tilt/sliding
sunroof closed.
Nearly
all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system. G
Warning!
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution)
may require replacement of the filter before
its
scheduled replacement interval. A clogged
filter will reduce the air volume to the interior
and the windows could fog up, impairing
visibility and endangering you and others.
Have a clogged filter replaced as soon as
possible at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
The air conditioning will not engage (no
cooling) if the A/C mode (Y page 146) is
deactivated. G
Warning!
Follow the recommended settings for heating
and cooling given on the following pages.
Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you and
others.
X Keep the air intake grille in front of the
windshield free of snow and debris.
Do not obstruct air flow by placing objects on
the air flow-through exhaust slots below the
rear window.
i If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the
interior before driving off, see “Summer
opening feature” ( Y page 96). The climate
control will then adjust the interior
temperature to the set value much faster. Deactivating the climate control
system
G
Warning!
When the climate control system is
deactivated, the outside air supply and
circulation are also deactivated. Only choose
this setting for a short time. Otherwise the
windows
could fog up, impairing visibility and
endangering you and others. Climate control system

comes on. The previous settings
are once again in effect. Air conditioning
The air conditioning is operational while the
engine
is running and cools the interior air to
the temperature set by the operator. In
addition, the air conditioning dehumidifies
the interior air and helps prevent window
fogging. G
Warning!
If you deactivate the air conditioning, the
vehicle will not be cooled when weather
conditions
are warm. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Window fogging may impair
visibility and endanger you and others.
i Condensated water may drip out from
underneath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.
The air conditioning uses the refrigerant
R134a. This refrigerant is free of CFCs which
are harmful to the ozone layer.
Deactivating It is possible to deactivate the air
conditioning. The interior air will then no
longer be cooled or dehumidified.
X

conditioning.

indicator lamp in the button comes on. i
The evaporator will be vented when the
air conditioning has been in use.
Approximately 1 hour after locking the
vehicle, the blower switches on
automatically. The blower will run for
30 minutes at its lowest level. The blower
noise is normal and not an indication of a
malfunction. When you unlock the vehicle
in the meantime, venting will be
interrupted. If the vehicle battery is low,
automatic
evaporator venting will not occur
in order to preserve the battery. Automatic mode
When
operating the climate control system in
automatic mode, the interior air temperature,
air volume and air distribution are adjusted
automatically.
In automatic mode, cooling with
dehumidification is switched on. This function
can be switched off if necessary. G
Warning!
If you deactivate the air conditioning, the
vehicle will not be cooled when weather
conditions
are warm. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Window fogging may impair
visibility and endanger you and others.

Front armrest storage compartment
ventilation The front armrest storage compartment can
be ventilated, for instance to cool its
contents, when the climate control system is
activated. The level of airflow to the front
armrest storage compartment depends on
the airflow and air distribution settings. The
temperature of the air is approximately the
same as that of the air flowing from the center
air vents.
!
Close the front armrest storage
compartment air vent when heating the
vehicle interior. Activate the air
conditioning (cooling function) when the
outside temperature is high. Otherwise,
temperature-sensitive items stored in the
front armrest storage compartment could
be damaged. 148

Switch to air recirculation mode to prevent
unpleasant odors from entering the vehicle
from the outside (e. g. before driving through
a tunnel). This setting cuts off the intake of
outside air and recirculates the air in the
passenger compartment. G
Warning!
Fogged windows impair visibility,
endangering you and others. If the windows
begin to fog on the inside, switching off the
air recirculation mode immediately should
clear interior window fogging. If interior
window fogging persists, make sure the air
conditioning is activated, or press button
¬.
