Filter
Top Products
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system.
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 and
in the “COMAND automatic climate control”
section. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you and
others.

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 283). 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:

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

Air conditioning
The air conditioning is operational while the
engine is
running and cools the interior air to
the temperature set by the operator. In
addition, the air conditioning dehumidifies
the interior air and helps prevent window
fogging.
G
Warning!
If you deactivate the air conditioning, the
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.
i
Condensated water may drip out from
underneath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.
The air conditioning uses the refrigerant
R134a. This refrigerant is free of CFCs which
are harmful to the ozone layer.
