Operating the auxiliary heating is thu spro-
hibited at filling stations or when your vehicle
is being refuelled .You must therefor eswitch
off the auxiliary heating at filling stations.
! 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 alonger
distance.
i Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly
once amonthf or about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the
passenger compartment to the selected tem-
perature. It does not use the heat of the run-
ning engine to do this. The auxiliary heating
is operated directly using the vehicle's fuel.
For this reason, the tank content 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 aqualified specialist
workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to atemperature
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 climate control is set to
manual. Optimum comfor tcan be attained
when the system is set to automatic 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 225).

lation on/off using the centre console

If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment whilet
he vehicle is in
motion, you must only do so if the traffic sit-
uationp ermits.Otherwise, yo ucould be dis-
tracted fro mthe traffi cconditions ,cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fa xequipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronic sand thereby
jeopardise the operatin gsafety of the vehicle
and your safety. Therefore, you must only use
this equipment if it is correctly connected to
as eparate reflection-free exterior aerial. G
WARNING
Excessiv elevels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes
int oa ccoun tcurren tscientific discussions
relatin gtothe possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
R mutual influences between the vehicle
electronic sand mobile phones are mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by awireless device to the exterior.
R the field strengt hinthe vehicle interior is
lower than in avehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.
