Functions and displays are dependent on the
optional equipment installed in your vehicle.
You can place your mobile phone in the
mobile phone cradle* (Y page 183), or set up
a Bluetooth connection to the audio system
or COMAND APS* see the separate operating
instructions. G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding the use of mobile telephones in
the vehicle.
If it is permitted to use mobile phones while
the vehicle is in motion, you should only use
them when the road and traffic conditions
permit. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.

matically deactivated after about 30

R the ignition is switched on
R the battery voltage drops Auxiliary heating/ventilation*
G
Risk of poisoning
Exhaust fumes are produced when the aux-
iliary heating is in operation. Inhaling these
exhaust fumes can be poisonous. You
should therefore switch off the auxiliary
heating in confined spaces without an
extraction system, e.g. a garage. G
Risk of fire
When operating the auxiliary heating, parts
of the vehicle may become very hot, and
highly inflammable material such as fuels
could be ignited. Operating the auxiliary
heating is thus prohibited at filling stations
or when your vehicle is being refuelled. You
must therefore switch off the auxiliary heat-
ing at filling stations.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehi-
cle interior to a temperature between 20 °C and 24 °C without using the heat of the run-
ning engine. The auxiliary heating is operated
using fuel directly from the vehicle's fuel tank.
For this reason, the tank content must be at
least at reserve fuel level to ensure that the
auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation automati-
cally adjusts to changes in temperature and
weather conditions. For this reason, the aux-
iliary heating could automatically switch over
from ventilation mode to heating mode or
from heating mode to ventilation mode.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to a temperature
lower than the outside temperature.
Before activating
X
Set the temperature to a value between
20 † and 24 †.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated even when the air conditioning is being
controlled manually. Optimum comfort can
be attained when the system is set to auto-
matic mode. Set the desired temperature
within this range. If a higher temperature is
set, the vehicle is heated to 24 †. If a lower
temperature is set, the vehicle is heated to
20 †. Activating or deactivating the auxiliary
heating/ventilation The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti-
vated or deactivated via the remote control
or the button on the centre console.
The on-board computer can be used to spec-
ify up to three departure times, one of which
may be preselected (
Y page 128).

Remote control
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For further information, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 300 metres. This range may be
reduced by:
R
sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
i The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.
i A battery symbol appears in the display
when the batteries in the remote control
are low. Replace the remote control bat-
teries (Y page 270).
i More information about the auxiliary
heating can be found in the "Practical
advice" section ( Y page 264).1
