Important safety notes

G

Warning

Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution)
may require replacement of the filter before
its scheduled replacement interval. A clogged
filter will reduce the air volume to the interior
and the windows could fog up, impairing
visibility and endangering you and others.
Have a clogged filter replaced as soon as
possible at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

G

Warning

Follow the recommended settings for heating
and cooling given on the following pages.
Otherwise, the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you and
others.

Dual-zone automatic climate control/3-zone
automatic climate control controls the
temperature and the humidity of the vehicle
interior and filters out undesirable
substances from the air.
Dual-zone automatic climate control/3-zone
automatic climate control is only operational
when the engine is running

. It only works

optimally if you drive with the side windows
and tilt/sliding sunroof/panorama roof with
power tilt/sliding panel closed.

Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period

during warm weather, e.g. using the
convenience opening feature (

Y

page 93).

This will speed up the cooling process and
the desired vehicle interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.

i

The integrated filter can filter out most

particles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. 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 Booklet. As it
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.

i

It is possible that the "residual heat"

function may be activated automatically an
hour after the SmartKey is removed. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to
dry the air-conditioning system.

3-zone automatic climate control: the "residual heat" function can only be activated or deactivated when the
