Important information The cooling with air dehumidification function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selec-
ted.
G
Risk of accident
If the "cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is deactivated, the air inside the vehicle
will not be cooled (during warm weather) or
dehumidified. The windows could mist up
more quickly. This may prevent you from
observing the traffic conditions, thereby caus-
ing an accident.
Condensatio nmay drip from the underside of
the vehicle when THERMOTRONIC is in cool-
ing mode. This is normal and no tasign that
there is a malfunction.
i The cooling with air dehumidification
function uses refrigerant R134a. This cool-
ant does not contain chlorofluorocarbons,
and therefore does not damage the ozone
layer. Activating/deactivating X

Problems with the cooling with air
dehumidification function When you press the
¿button, the indica-
tor lamp in the button flashes three times or
remains off. You can no longer switch on the
cooling with air dehumidification function.
X Consult a qualified specialist workshop. Setting climate control to automatic
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constant level.
The system automatically regulates the tem-
perature of the dispensed air, the airflow and
the air distribution.
Automatic mode will achieve optimal opera-
tion if cooling with air dehumidification is also
activated. If desired, cooling with air dehu-
midification can be deactivated. Adjusts the climate control settings
This function is only available with
THERMOTRONIC luxury 3-zone automatic cli-
mate control.
The climate mode setting is especially effec-
tive at high temperatures.
You can select the following climate mode
settings in automatic mode:
FOCUS High airflow; slightly cooler setting
MEDIUM Mediuma irflow; standard setting
DIFFUSE Low airflow; slightly warmer air with less of a draught 114

Activating/deactivating G
Risk of accident
Clear all windows of ice or snow before setting
off. Otherwise, impaired visibility could
endanger you and others.
The rear window heating has ahigh current
draw. You should therefore switch it off as
soon as the window is clear, as it only
switches off automatically after several
minutes. If the battery voltage is too low, the rear win-
dow heating may switch off.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the ¤button.
The indicator lamp in the ¤button lights
up or goes out.
Problems with the rea rwindow heating The rear window heating has switched off
prematurely or cannot be activated.
X
Switch off any consumers that are not
required, e.g. reading lamps or interior
lighting.
When the battery is sufficiently charged,
the rear window heating is activated again
automatically. Activating/deactivating air-recircula-
tion mode
You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasan todours are entering the vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated.
The operation of the air-recirculation mode is
the same for all contro lpanels. G
Ris
kofa ccident
Only switch ove rto air-recirculation mode
briefly at low outside temperatures. Other-
wise, the windows could mist up, thus impair-
ing visibility and endangering yourself and
others. This may prevent you from observing
the traffic conditions, thereby causing an
accident.

Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
between the side window and the door frame
as the side windows are opened and closed.
Make sure that all object sand body parts are
clear of the side windows when they are being
opened or closed .You or the objects could be
drawn in or become trapped between the side
window and the door frame as the window
moves. If there is arisk of entrapment, oper-
ate the Wswitch to move the side window
in the opposite direction.
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as the sliding sunroof/panorama sliding sun-
roof is opened and closed. If there is a risk of
entrapment, operate the 3switch to move the sliding sunroof/panorama sliding sunroof
in the opposite direction.
X Convenience closing feature: press and
hold the gbutton until the side win-
dows and the sliding sunroof/panorama
sliding sunroof are closed.

dows and the sliding sunroof/panorama
sliding sunroof move back to their original
position.

out. Air-recirculation mode is deactivated.
i If you open the side windows or the sliding
sunroof/panorama sliding sunroof man-
ually after closing with the convenience
closing feature, they will remain in this posi-
tion when opened using the convenience
opening feature. Activating/deactivating the residual
heat function
The residual heat function is only available
with THERMOTRONIC luxury 3-zone auto-
matic climate control.
It is possible to make use of the residual heat
of the engine to continue heating the station-
ary vehicle for up to 30 minutes after the
engine has been switched off .The heating
time depends on the temperature that has
been set.
i The blower will run at a low speed regard-
less of the airflow setting.
i If you activate the residual heat function
at high temperatures, only the ventilation
will be activated. The blower runs at
medium speed.

Important safety notes G
Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes are produced when the auxili-
ary heating is in operation. Inhaling these
exhaust fumes can be poisonous. You should
therefore switch off the auxiliary heating in
confined spaces without an extraction sys-
tem, e.g. a garage. G
Risk of fire
When operating the auxiliary heating, parts of
the vehicle may become very hot, and highly
inflammable material such as fuels could be
ignited. Operating the auxiliary heating is thus
prohibited at filling station sorwhen your vehi-
cle is being refuelled. You must therefore
switch off the auxiliary heating at filling sta-
tions.
! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventila-
tion draws on the vehicle battery. After you
have heated or ventilated the vehicle a
maximum of two times, drive for a longer
distance.
i Switch on the auxiliary heating regularly,
e.g. for about ten minutes every month. The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehi-
cle interior to the set temperature without
using the heat of the running engine. The aux-
iliary heating is operated directly using the
vehicle's fuel. For this reason, the tank con-
tent must be at least at reserve fuel level to
ensure that the auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation automati-
cally adjusts to changes in temperature and
weather conditions. For this reason, the aux-
iliary heating could switch from ventilation
mode to heating mode or from heating mode
to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off automati-
cally after 50 minutes. This time limit can be
altered. To do this, visit a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Ben
zService
Centre.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to a temperature
lower than the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Set the temperature.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated even when the climate control is being
controlled manually. Optimum comfort can
be attained when the system is set to auto-
matic mode. Set the temperature to 22 †.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated or deactivated using the remote control
or the button on the centre console.
The on-board computer can be used to spec-
ify up to three departure times, one of which
may be preselected (Y page 210). Operating the climate control system

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on/off using the remote control Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For further information, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 300 metres. This range is
reduced by:
R
sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
i The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.

Risk of poisoning
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
