Condensation may drip out from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.

vehicle will not be cooled when weather
conditions are warm. The windows can fog
up more quickly. Window fogging may
impair visibility and endanger you and
others.

on again, this indicates that the air
conditioning is losing refrigerant. The
compressor has turned itself off.

the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
