Notes on climate control system
i
If you have the air distribution and air
volume automatically controlled, you can
adjust the temperature, footwell
temperature and air flow. The following
basic settings are recommended:
R
Automatic air distribution control
(Y page 388)
R
Temperature: 72‡ (22†) (Y page 388)
R
Footwell temperature: 0 (Y page 226)
R
Air flow: focused (Y page 226)
The climate control system is operational
whenever the engine is running. You can
operate the climate control system in either
the automatic or manual mode. The system
cools or heats the interior depending on the
selected interior temperature and the current
outside temperature.
It can only function optimally when you are
driving with the windows and the tilt/sliding
sunroof closed.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system.

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 and in the “COMAND automatic
climate control” section. Otherwise the
windows could fog up, impairing visibility
and endangering you and others.
X
Keep the air intake grille in front of the
windshield free of snow and debris.
Do not obstruct air flow by placing objects on
the air flow-through exhaust slots below the
rear window.

If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the
interior before driving off, see “Summer
opening feature” (Y page 327). The climate
control will then adjust the interior
temperature to the set value much faster.
The following climate control functions can
be operated via COMAND:
R

Warning!
When the climate control system is
switched off, the outside air supply and
circulation are also switched off. Only
choose this setting for a short time.
Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
