The perfume atomiser helps to improve driv-
ing comfort.
Using COMAND Online, you can:
R switch the perfume atomiser on or off
R regulate the perfume intensity (see the sep-
arate operating instructions)
The following conditions can affect your per-
ception of the perfume intensity:
R operating mode of the automatic climate
control
R interior temperature
R time of year or day
R air humidity
R physiological condition of occupants, e.g.
fatigue or hunger
The perfume atomiser can only be operated
when the automatic climate control is
switched on and is only active when the glove compartment is closed.
The perfume atomiser is provided with a pre- filled perfume vial. You can also choose froma variety of filled perfume vials and an empty
vial which you can fill yourself. If you refill an empty perfume vial, observe the
separate information sheet attached to the
vial.
! If you do not use genuine Mercedes-Benz
interior perfumes, observe the manufactur-
ers' safety notices on the perfume packag-
ing.
Do not refill the pre-filled perfume vial when it is empty. Dispose of the used vial after use.
X To insert the perfume vial: open the glove
compartment (Y page 317).
X Slide the perfume vial into the holder as far
as it will go.
X To remove the perfume vial: pull out the
perfume vial.
X To refill the perfume vial: unscrew the lid
of the empty perfume vial to refill it your-
self.
X Refill the vial with a maximum of 15 ml of
the desired liquid perfume.
X Screw the lid back on to the vial.
! Only refill the vial when you are outside
the vehicle. Otherwise, liquid perfume
could drip into the interior and contaminate it.
Always refill the empty refillable vial with the
same perfume. Otherwise, you might not ach-
ieve optimum results from the perfume atom-
iser. 148

Problems with the perfume atomiser
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions The vehicle interior is
not perfumed although
the perfume atomiser
has been activated. The perfume vial has not been pushed into the holder as far as it
will go.
X Slide the perfume vial into the holder as far as it will go. The perfume vial is not filled sufficiently.
X Pre-filled vials: dispose of the empty vial.
X Use a new pre-filled vial.
X Refillable vials: refill the vial with a maximum of 15 ml of the
same perfume. The perfume atomiser is faulty.
X Have the perfume atomiser checked at a qualified specialist
workshop. Ionisation
You can use the ionisation function to purify
the air in the vehicle interior and attain an
improved interior climate.
The ionisation of the interior air is odourless
and cannot, directly, be perceived in the vehi-
cle interior.
You can switch ionisation on or off using
COMAND Online (see the separate operating instructions).
Ionisation can only be switched on if the front
automatic climate control is activated. The
side air vent on the driver's side must be
open. Auxiliary heating
Important safety notes G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or sufficient
ventilation is not possible, toxic exhaust
fumes can enter the vehicle, especially car-
bon monoxide. This is the case, e.g. in
enclosed spaces, or if the vehicle is stuck in
snow. There is a risk of fatal injuries. You should switch off the auxiliary heating in
enclosed spaces which do not have an extrac-
tion system, e.g. a garage. If the vehicle is
stuck in snow and you must leave the auxiliary
heating running, keep the exhaust pipe and
the area around the vehicle clear of snow. To guarantee a sufficient supply of fresh air, open
a window on the side of the vehicle away from the wind. G
WARNING
When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot.
Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with:
R hot parts of the exhaust system
R the exhaust gas itself
There is a risk of fire. Operating the climate control system
149Climate control
Z

When the auxiliary heating is switched on,
make sure that:
R no flammable materials come into contact
with hot vehicle components
R the exhaust gas can escape from the
exhaust pipe unhindered
R the exhaust gas does not come into contact
with flammable materials.
The auxiliary heating and the exhaust gas out-
let are situated behind the right-hand front
wheel.
! 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 a longer
distance.
Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly once
a month for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehi-
cle interior to the set temperature. This
occurs without using the heat of the running
engine. The auxiliary heating is operated
directly using the vehicle's fuel. For this rea-
son, the tank content must be at least at
reserve fuel level to ensure that the auxiliary
heating functions.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
automatically adjusts to changes in temper-
ature and weather conditions. For this rea-
son, the auxiliary heating could switch from
ventilation mode to heating mode or from
heating mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventila-
tion switches off when you turn the key to key position 2(Y page 161).
The auxiliary heating switches off automati-
cally after 50 minutes. This time limit can be
altered. To do this, visit a qualified specialist
workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to a temperature
lower than the outside temperature. Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock (Y page 161).
X Set the desired temperature using the
w rocker switch on the front control
panel or using COMAND Online (see the
separate operating instructions).
If you do not alter the temperature before
switching on the auxiliary heating or auxiliary
ventilation, the last temperature setting will
be adopted.
Auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation can
also be switched on if the manually set cli-
mate control is activated. Optimum comfort
can be attained when the system is set to
automatic mode. Set the temperature to
22 †.
You can switch the auxiliary heating or auxil-
iary ventilation on or off:
R using the rocker switch on the centre con-
sole (Y page 150)
R using the remote control (Y page 151)
The on-board computer can be used to spec-
ify up to three departure times, one of which
may be preselected:
R using the remote control (Y page 151)
R using COMAND Online (see the separate
operating instructions)

lation on or off using the centre console

In addition you can adjust the temperature at
any time using COMAND Online if the auxili-
ary heating/ventilation is switched on. To do so, call up COMAND Online using the qbut-
ton on the centre console.
X To switch off auxiliary heating or auxil-

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the remote control General notes
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For more information, please
contact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary
heating so that the auxiliary heating cannot
be switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxili-
ary heating is kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. The remote control has a range of approx-
imately 300 metres. This range is reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
If the remote control battery is low, the bat-
tery symbol on the left of the display is shown as empty. Replace the remote control battery and observe the important safety notes when
doing so (Y page 153).

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior. In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet between the windscreen
and the bonnet free of blockages, such as
ice, snow or leaves
R never cover the vents or ventilation grilles
in the vehicle interior Adjusting the air vents
