Personal Profile
The concept
Using Personal Profile, individual settings for
several drivers can be saved and called up
again at a later time.
General information
There are three profiles with which personal ve‐
hicle settings can be stored. Every remote con‐
trol has one of these profiles assigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐
trol, the assigned personal profile will be acti‐
vated. All settings stored in the profile are auto‐
matically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control,
the vehicle will adjust the personal settings dur‐
ing unlocking. These settings are also restored,
if the vehicle has been used in the meantime
by a person with a different remote control.
Changes to the settings are automatically saved
in the profile currently activated.
If another profile is selected via the onboard
monitor, the settings saved in it will be applied
automatically. The new profile is assigned to
the remote control currently used.
There is an additional profile available that is
not assigned to any remote control: It can be
used to apply settings in the vehicle without
changing the personal profiles.
Adjusting
The settings for the following systems and func‐
tions are saved in the active profile. The scope
of storable settings is country- and equipment-
dependable.▷Unlocking and locking.▷Lights.▷Radio.▷Instrument cluster.▷Programmable memory buttons.▷Volumes, tone.▷Control Display.▷Climate control.▷Navigation.▷Park Distance Control PDC.▷Rearview camera▷Head-up Display.▷Driving Dynamics Control.▷Intelligent Safety.
Profile management
Opening profiles
Regardless of the remote control in use a differ‐
ent profile may be activated.
On the Control Display:
1.  "Settings"2."Profiles"3.Select a profile.
The following functions are executed:
▷All settings stored in the called-up profile
are automatically applied.▷The called-up profile is assigned to the re‐
mote control being used at the time.▷If the profile is already assigned to a differ‐
ent remote control, this profile will apply to
both remote controls. It cannot be differen‐
tiated anymore between the settings for
the two remote controls.
Renaming profiles
A personal name can be assigned to every pro‐
file to avoid confusion between the profiles.

Set any air volume.
Switching off Turn wheel for air quantity to the
left until the control switches off.
Temperature Turn the ring to set the desired
temperature.
The automatic climate control reaches this
temperature as quickly as possible, if needed
by increasing the cooling or heating output,
and then keeps it constant.
Do not rapidly switch between different tem‐
perature settings. The automatic climate con‐
trol will not have sufficient time to adjust the
set temperature.
Cooling function The air in the car's interior will be cooled and
dehumidified and, depending on the tempera‐
ture setting, warmed again.
The car's interior can only be cooled with the
engine running.Press button.
Air conditioning is switched on or off.
Depending on the weather, the windshield may
fog up briefly when the engine is started.
The cooling function is switched on automati‐
cally with the AUTO program.
When using the automatic climate control, con‐
densation water, refer to page  162, develops
that exits underneath the vehicle.
Maximum cooling Press button.
The system is set to the lowest temper‐
ature, optimum air flow and air circulation
mode.
Air flows out of the vents to the upper body re‐
gion. The vents need to be open for this.
The function is available with external tempera‐
tures beyond approx. 32 ℉/0 ℃ and with the
engine running.
Adjust air flow with the program active.
AUTO program Press button.
Air flow, air distribution and tempera‐
ture are controlled automatically.
Depending on the selected temperature, AUTO
intensity and outside influences, the air is di‐
rected to the windshield, side windows, upper
body, and into the floor area.

The front window defroster switches off auto‐
matically after a certain period of time.
Rear window defroster Press button.
The rear window defroster switches off
automatically after a certain period of time.
When GREEN Mode, refer to page  167, is acti‐
vated, the heater output is reduced.
Microfilter/activated-charcoal filter In external and recirculated air mode the mi‐
crofilter/activated charcoal filter filters dust,
pollen, and gaseous pollutants out of the air.
This filter should be replaced during scheduled
maintenance, refer to page  202, of your vehi‐
cle.
Ventilation
Setting The air flow directions can be individually ad‐
justed:▷Direct ventilation:
The air flow is directly pointed onto the per‐
son. The air flow heats or cools noticeably,
depending on the adjusted temperature.▷Indirect ventilation:
If the vents are fully or partly closed, the air
is directly routed into the car's interior.Front ventilation▷Turn knob for continuous opening and clos‐
ing of the vents.▷Swivel the vents to alter the direction of the
vent flow, arrow.
Parked-car ventilation
The concept
The parked-car ventilation ventilates the vehi‐
cle interior and lowers its temperature, if needed.
The system can be switched on and off at any
external temperature, either directly or by us‐
ing two preset reel-on times. It remains
switched on for 30 minutes.
Open the vents to allow air to flow out.

Coasting
The concept The system helps to conserve fuel.
To do this, under certain conditions the engine
is automatically decoupled from the transmis‐ sion when selector lever position D is set. The
vehicle continues traveling with the engine
idling to reduce fuel consumption. Selector
lever position D remains engaged.
This driving condition is referred to as coasting.
As soon as the brake or accelerator pedal is de‐
pressed, the engine is automatically coupled to
the transmission again.
Information
Coasting is a component of the GREEN driving
mode, refer to page  167.
Coasting is automatically activated when
GREEN Mode is called via the Driving Dynamics
Control, refer to page  118.
The function is available in a certain speed
range.
A proactive driving style helps the driver to use
the function as often as possible and supports
the fuel-conserving effect of coasting.
Safety mode
The function is not available under one of the
following conditions.▷DSC OFF or TRACTION activated.▷Driving in the dynamic limit range and on
steep uphill or downhill grades.▷Battery charge status temporarily too low
or vehicle electrical system drawing exces‐
sive current.▷Cruise control activated.
Functional requirements
In GREEN Mode, this function is available in a
speed range from approximately 30 mph, ap‐
prox. 50 km/h to 100 mph, approx. 160 km/h,
if the following conditions are met:
▷Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not
operated.▷The selector lever is in selector lever posi‐
tion D.▷Engine and transmission are at operating
temperature.Seite 170DRIVING TIPSSaving fuel170
