Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fogup.
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
Ractivate the "Windshield defrosting" functionbriefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature andair humidity in the vehicle interior. The interiorfilter cleans the air, thus improving the interiorclimate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" functionis only available when the engine is running.Optimum climate control is only achieved withthe side windows and roof closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,the last selected climate control setting is reac-tivated (Ypage 134).
The integrated filter filters out most particles ofdust and soot and completely filters out pollen.It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odors. Aclogged filter reduces the amount of air suppliedto the vehicle interior. For this reason, youshould always observe the interval for replacingthe filter, which is specified in the MaintenanceBooklet. As it depends on environmental condi-tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval maybe shorter than stated in the Maintenance Book-let.
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief period duringwarm weather, e.g. using the convenienceopening feature (Ypage 91). This will speedup the cooling process and the desired inte-rior temperature will be reached morequickly.
iIt is possible that the blower may be activa-ted automatically 60 minutes after the Smart-Key has been removed depending on variousfactors, e.g. the outside temperature. Thevehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to drythe automatic climate control.

GWARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driving,
safety-relevant functions are only available
with limitations, or not at all. This could affect,
for example, the power steering and the brake
boosting effect. You will require considerably
more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk
of an accident.
Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
GWARNING
If the parking brake has not been fully
released when driving, the parking brake can:
Roverheat and cause a fire
Rlose its hold function.
There is a risk of fire and an accident. Release
the parking brake fully before driving off.
!Do not warm up the engine while stationary.Pull away immediately. Avoid high enginespeeds and full throttle until the engine hasreached its operating temperature.
In vehicles with automatic transmission,engage positions P and R only when the vehi-cle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drivewheels when pulling away on slippery roads.You could otherwise damage the drive train.
!Mercedes-AMG vehicles:at low engine oiltemperatures below 68 ‡ (+20 †), the max-imum engine speed is restricted in order toprotect the engine. To protect the engine andmaintain smooth engine operation, avoid driv-ing at full throttle when the engine is cold.
