Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-lowing pages. The windows could otherwisefog 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 functionbriefly, if required
The air-conditioning system or dual-zone auto-matic climate control regulates the tempera-ture and the humidity of the vehicle interiorand filters undesirable substances from theair.
The air-conditioning system or dual-zone auto-matic climate control can only be operatedwhen the engine is running. Optimum opera-tion is only achieved with the side windowsand panorama roof with power tilt/slidingpanel closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,the last selected climate control setting isreactivated (Ypage 84).
The residual heat function can only be activa-ted or deactivated with the ignition switchedoff (Ypage 122).
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind theside trim panel in the cargo compartmentclear (Ypage 108). Otherwise the vehicle willnot be ventilated correctly.
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief period dur-ing warm weather, e.g. using the conveni-ence opening feature (Ypage 84). This willspeed up the cooling process and thedesired interior temperature will be reachedmore quickly.
iThe integrated filter filters out most parti-cles of dust and soot and completely filtersout pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollu-tants and odors. A clogged filter reduces theamount of air supplied to the vehicle inte-rior. For this reason, you should alwaysobserve the interval for replacing the filter,which is specified in the Maintenance Book-let. As it depends on environmental condi-tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the intervalmay be shorter than stated in the Mainte-nance Booklet.
iIt is possible that under certain circum-stances the residual heat function may beactivated automatically an hour after theSmartKey has been removed in order to drythe automatic climate control. The vehicle isthen ventilated for 30 minutes.

Climate control

There is a risk of fire and an accident.
Release the parking brake fully before driv-
ing off.
!Do not warm up the engine while station-ary. Pull away immediately. Avoid highengine speeds and full throttle until theengine has reached its operating tempera-ture.
In vehicles with automatic transmission,engage positions P and R only when thevehicle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drivewheels when pulling away on slippery roads.You could otherwise damage the drive train.
!Mercedes-AMG vehicles:avoid full-loadoperation and engine speeds greater than5000 rpm when the engine is cold. Thishelps to protect the engine and avoidsuncomfortable driving.

ITo start the engine
iThe SmartKey can be turned in the ignitionlock even if it is not the correct SmartKeyfor the vehicle. The ignition is not switchedon. The engine cannot be started.
Start/Stop button
General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped withSmartKeys featuring the integrated KEYLESS-GO function and a detachable Start/Stop but-ton.
A check which periodically establishes a radioconnection between the vehicle and theSmartKey determines whether a valid Smart-Key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example,when starting the engine.
When you insert the Start/Stop button intothe ignition lock, the system needs approx-imately two seconds recognition time. You canthen use the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several timesin succession corresponds to the differentSmartKey positions in the ignition lock. This isonly the case if you are not depressing thebrake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press theStart/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-ately.
To start the vehicle without actively using theSmartKey:
Rthe Start/Stop button must be inserted inthe ignition lock
Rthe SmartKey must be in the vehicle
Rthe vehicle must not be locked with theSmartKey or KEYLESS-GO (Ypage 70)
Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO key:
Rwith electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phoneor another SmartKey.
Rwith metallic objects, e.g. coins or metalfoil.
Rinside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case.
This can affect the functionality of KEYLESS-GO.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKeyremote control or with KEYLESS-GO, after ashort time:
Ryou will not be able to switch on the ignitionwith the Start/Stop button.
Ryou will no longer be able to start the enginewith the Start/Stop button until the vehicleis unlocked again.
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the but-ton on the front door (Ypage 75), you cancontinue to start the engine with the Start/Stop button.

Inhaling these exhaust gases is hazardous to
health and can result in poisoning. There is a
risk of fatal injury. Therefore, never leave the
engine running an enclosed space without
adequate ventilation.
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.
