Notes on climate control system
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 dis-
tribution system.
G
Warning!
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution)
may require replacement of the filter before
its scheduled replacement interval. A clog-
ged 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 Mer-
cedes-Benz Center.
The air conditioning will not engage (no cool-
ing) if the A/C mode (Y page 164) is deacti-
vated.
G
Warning!
Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following
pages. Otherwise the windows could fog
up, impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
Keep the air intake grille in front of the wind-
shield 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 105). The climate
control will then adjust the interior temper-
ature to the set value much faster.
