Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. Otherwise, the windows could
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R switch on "Cooling with air dehumidification"
R activate the "Windscreen demisting" function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The interior
filter cleans the air, thus improving the interior
climate.
The "Cooling with dehumidification" function is
available only when the engine is running. Opti-
mum climate control is achieved only with the
side windows and roof closed.
The residual heat function can be activated or
deactivated only with the ignition switched off
(Y page 135). The integrated filter filters out most particles of
dust and soot and completely filters out pollen.
It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odours. 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 Service Book-
let. As this depends on environmental condi-
tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may
be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (Y page 96). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i It is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the key
has been removed depending on various fac-
tors, e.g. the outside temperature. The vehi-
cle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the
automatic climate control.

mate control in the separate Owner's Manual. Control panel for THERMATIC automatic climate control

J To set the airflow (Y page 132) Notes on using automatic climate
control
Optimum use of automatic climate con-
trol The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on how best to use THERMATIC automatic
climate control or THERMOTRONIC.
R Activate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch lights up. The "Cooling
with dehumidification" function is activated in
automatic mode.
R Set the temperature to 22 †.
R Use the "Windscreen demisting" function only
briefly until the windscreen is clear again.
R Use the "Air-recirculation mode" function only
briefly, e.g. if there are unpleasant outside
odours or when in a tunnel. The windows
could otherwise mist up as no fresh air is
drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation
mode.
R Vehicles with THERMATIC with auxiliary heat-
ing or THERMOTRONIC: 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
be switched on or off only with the ignition
switched off. The "Residual heat" function is
switched off when the ignition is switched on.
DYNAMIC SELECT switch (except
Mercedes-AMG vehicles) You can choose between various drive programs
with the DYNAMIC SELECT switch
(Y page 152).
If you have selected drive program E:
R during heating, the electrical heater booster
is deactivated and heat output is reduced as a
result
R the rear window heating running time is
reduced If you have selected drive program
C,Sor S+ ,
the current climate settings are maintained.
ECO start/stop function During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control operates only at a reduced capacity. If
you require the full climate control output, you
can switch off the ECO start/stop function by
pressing the ECO button (Y page 149). Operating the climate control system
Switching the climate control on/off
General notes When climate control is switched off, the air
supply and air circulation are also switched off.
The windows could mist up. Therefore, switch
off climate control only briefly.
Switch on climate control primarily using the
à rocker switch (Y page 131).
Activating/deactivating X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X To switch on: set the airflow to level 1 or
higher using the Hrocker switch.
X To switch off:set the airflow to level 0 using
the H rocker switch.
i THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control:
when climate control is switched off, "OFF"
appears in the rear-compartment display. Operating the climate control system
129Climate control

Setting climate control to automatic
mode
General notes In automatic mode, the set temperature is main-
tained automatically at a constant level. The
system automatically regulates the temperature of the dispensed air, the airflow and the air dis- tribution.
During automatic controlling, the "Cooling with
air dehumidification" function is activated.
Automatic control X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X To activate: press theÃrocker switch up

X Press the _rocker switch up or down.
The indicator lamp above the Ãrocker
switch goes out.
In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or
air distribution manually, the indicator lamp
above the Ãrocker switch goes out. The
function that has not been changed manually,
however, continues to be controlled automati-
cally. When the manually set function switches
back to automatic mode, the indicator lamp
above the Ãrocker switch lights up again. Setting the climate mode
This function is available only with
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control.
In automatic mode, you can select the following airflow settings for the driver's and front-
passenger areas:
FOCUS high airflow, slightly cooler setting
MEDIUM medium airflow, standard setting
DIFFUSE low airflow, slightly warmer and draught-free setting
