The air conditioning is operational while
the engine is running and cools the interior

tioning (cooling) function of the climate

then no longer be cooled or dehumidified.

The air conditioning uses the
refrigerant R134a. This refrigerant is free
of CFC’s which are harmful to the ozone
layer.
i
Condensation may drip out from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.
!
If the air conditioning cannot be turned
on again, this indicates that the air con-
ditioning is losing refrigerant. The com-
pressor has turned itself off.
Have the air conditioning checked at
the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
