tioning (cooling) function of the climate

Moist air can fog up the windows. You can
dehumidify the air with the air condition-
ing.

The air conditioning uses the refrigerant
R134a. This refrigerant is free of CFCs
which are harmful to the ozone layer.
Residual heat and ventilation
With the engine switched off, it is possible
to continue to heat or ventilate the interior
for up to 30 minutes. This feature makes
use of the residual heat produced by the
engine.
!
If the air conditioning cannot be turned
on again, this indicates that the air con-
ditioning is losing refrigerant. The com-
pressor has turned off.
Have the air conditioning checked at
the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Light Truck Center.

How long the system will provide heat-
ing depends on
ț the coolant temperature
ț the battery voltage
Regardless of the temperature and air
volume set on the climate control
panel, an interior temperature is aimed
at by 72°F (22°C) and the blower runs
on low speed to protect the vehicle bat-
tery.
