ECO start/stop function
During automatic engine switch-off, the cli-
mate control system only operates at a
reduced capacity. If you require the full cli-
mate control output, you can switch off the
ECO start/stop function by pressing the ECO
button (
Ypage 157).

When the climate control is switched off, the
air supply and air circulation are also
switched off. The windows could fog up.
Therefore, switch off climate control only
briefly
Switch on climate control primarily using the
à rocker switch (
Ypage 139).

Switching cooling with air dehumidi-
fication on/off
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi- cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-
cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-dehumidifica-
tion function only briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and
dehumidified according to the temperature
selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
Activating or deactivating
XTo activate: press theÁrocker switch
up or down.
The indicator lamp above the rocker switch
lights up.
or
XActivate the "Cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation" function via COMAND (see the sep-
arate operating instructions).

flashes three times or
remains off. Cooling
with air dehumidifica-
tion can also no longer
be switched on using

Setting climate control to automatic
General notes
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constant level.
The system automatically regulates the tem-
perature of the dispensed air, the airflow and
the air distribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally
when the "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is activated. If necessary, cooling
with air dehumidification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi-
cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-
cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore,
deactivate the cooling with air-dehumidifica-
tion function only briefly.
Setting climate control to automatic
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 151).

tion which has not been changed manually,
however, continues to be controlled automat-
ically. When the manually set function

Switching air-recirculation mode
on/off
General notes
You can also temporarily deactivate the flow
of fresh air manually if unpleasant odors are
entering the vehicle from outside. The air
already inside the vehicle will then be recir-
culated.
If you switch on air-recirculation mode, the
windows can fog up more quickly, in particu-
lar at low temperatures. Only use air-recircu-
lation mode briefly to prevent the windows
from fogging up.
Activating or deactivating
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 151).
XTo activate: press thegrocker switch
up or down.
The indicator lamp in the grocker
switch lights up.
Air-recirculation mode is automatically acti-
vated at high levels of pollution or at high out-
side temperatures. The indicator lamp in the
g rocker switch is not lit when automatic
air-recirculation mode is activated. Outside
air is added after about 30 minutes.
XTo deactivate: press thegrocker
switch up or down.
The indicator lamp in the grocker
switch goes out. Air-recirculation mode deactivates automati-
cally:
Rafter approximately five minutes at outside
temperatures below approximately 41 ‡
(5 †)
Rafter approximately five minutes if cooling
with air dehumidification is deactivated
Rafter approximately 30 minutes at outside
temperatures above approximately 41 ‡
(5 †) if the "Cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion" function is activated
Switching the residual heat on or off
General notes
Once the engine is switched off, it is possible
to make use of the residual heat of the engine
to continue heating or ventilating the front
compartment of the vehicle for approximately
30 minutes.
The heating or ventilation time depends on
the temperature that has been set.
Activating or deactivating
XTurn the SmartKey to position 0in the igni-
tion lock or remove it (

the case if you are not depressing the brake
pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the
SmartKey determines whether a valid Smart-
Key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example,when starting the engine.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
SmartKey:
Rthe Start/Stop button must be inserted in
the ignition lock.
Rthe SmartKey must be in the vehicle.
Rthe vehicle must not be locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO (
Ypage 83).
Do not keep the SmartKey:
Rwith electronic devices, e.g. a mobile
phone or another SmartKey.
Rwith metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal
foil.
Rinside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case.
This can affect the functionality of the Smart-
Key.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKey's
remote control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a
short time:
Ryou will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button.
Ryou will not be able to start the engine with
the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again.
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the but-
ton on the front doo
r (Ypage 89), you can
continue to start the engine with the Start/
Stop button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehi-
cle is in motion by pressing and holding the
Start/Stop button for three seconds. This
function operates independently of the ECO
start/stop automatic engine switch-off func-
tion. Key positions with the Start/Stop button
