control, lefti Set the temperature to 72‡ (22†).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 366)
R Temperature: 72‡ (22†) ( Y page 367)
R Footwell temperature: 0 ( Y page 214)
R Air flow: focused ( Y page 215)
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.
It can only function optimally when you are
driving with the windows, the tilt/sliding
sunroof or tilt/sliding panel closed.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution system.GWarning!
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.
GWarning!
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.
XKeep 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.
i If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the
interior before driving off, see “Summer
opening feature” (Y page 309). 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 Temperature ( Y page 211)
R Air distribution ( Y page 212)
R Air volume ( Y page 212)
R Switching off cooling ( Æ) (Y page 213)
R Central climate control ( Mono)
