Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched on
even during the daytime. Therefore, your vehicle
is equipped with special daytime running lamps.
In some countries, operation of the headlamps
varies due to legal requirements and self-
imposed obligations.
If you wish to drive during the daytime without
lights, switch off the daytime running lamps
function in the on-board computer
(
Ypage 194).

Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fog
up.
To prevent the 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
Climate control regulates the temperature and
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances out of the air.
Climate control can only be operated when the
engine is running. Optimum operation is only
achieved with the side windows and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(
Ypage 119).
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief 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. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should always observe
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 the residual heat function
may be activated automatically an hour after
the SmartKey is removed. The vehicle is then
ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic
climate control.
Overview of climate control systems111
Climate control

Optimum use of automatic climate
control
Climate control system
Below, you can find a number of notes and rec-
ommendations to help you use climate control
optimally.
The 3-zone automatic climate control is only
available on vehicles for Canada.
RActivate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps above the
à and¿ buttons light up.
RVehicles with 3-zone automatic climate con-
trol: in automatic mode, you can also set the
climate mode (FOCUS, MEDIUM or DIFFUSE).
The MEDIUM level is recommended.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
RUse the ZONE function to adopt the temper-
ature settings on the driver's side for the
front-passenger side and the rear compart-
ment as well. The indicator lamp above the
á button goes out.
RVehicles with 3-zone automatic climate con-
trol: use the residual heat function if you want
to heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when
the ignition is switched off. The residual heat
function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off.
RIf you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
ECO start/stop function
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,
you can switch off the ECO start/stop function
by pressing the ECO button (
Ypage 126).

GWARNING
Flammable materials introduced through
environmental influence or by animals can
ignite if in contact with the exhaust system or
parts of the engine that heat up. There is a risk
of fire.
Carry out regular checks to make sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials in
the engine compartment or in the exhaust
system.
General notes
iThe catalytic converter is preheated for up
to 30 seconds after a cold start. The sound of the engine may change during this time.
Automatic transmission
XShift the transmission to position P.
The transmission position display in the mul-
tifunction display shows P.
iYou can start the engine in transmission
position Pand N.
Starting procedure with the SmartKey
iTo start the engine using the SmartKey
instead of KEYLESS-GO, pull the Start/Stop
button out of the ignition lock.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 3in the ignition
lock and release it as soon as the engine is
running (
Ypage 122).
Using KEYLESS-GO to start the engine
iThe Start/Stop button can be used to start
the vehicle manually without inserting the
SmartKey into the ignition lock. The Start/
Stop button must be inserted in the ignition
lock and the SmartKey must be in the vehicle.
This mode for starting the engine operates
independently of the ECO start/stop auto-
matic engine start function.
XDepress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
XPress the Start/Stop button once
(Ypage 122).
The engine starts.
Pulling away
General notes
GWARNING
If the engine speed is above the idling speed
and you engage transmission position Dor R,
the vehicle could pull away suddenly. There is
a risk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position Dor R,
always firmly depress the brake pedal and do not simultaneously accelerate.
!If a warning tone sounds and the ReleasePark. Brakemessage appears in the multi-
function display, the parking brake is still
applied. Release the parking brake.
Depress the accelerator carefully when pulling
away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have pulled
away. The locking knobs in the doors drop down.
You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature (
Ypage 195).
It is only possible to shift the transmission from
position Pto the desired position if you depress
the brake pedal. If you do not depress the brake
pedal, the DIRECT SELECT lever can still be
moved but the parking lock remains engaged.
iUpshifts take place at higher engine speeds
after a cold start. This helps the catalytic con-
verter to reach its operating temperature
more quickly.
Hill start assist
Hill start assist helps you when pulling away for-
wards or in reverse on an uphill gradient. It holds
the vehicle for a short time after you have
removed your foot from the brake pedal. This
gives you enough time to move your foot from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and to
depress it before the vehicle begins to roll.
GWARNING
After a short time, hill start assist will no lon-
ger brake your vehicle and it could roll away.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.

in position 0or 1), as ESP
®will otherwise
automatically intervene. The brake system
could otherwise be damaged.
!Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with either the front or the rear axle raised, as
doing so will damage the transmission.
