! Do not operate the windshield wipers
when the windshield is dry, as this could
damage the wiper blades. Moreover, dust
that has collected on the windshield can
scratch the glass if wiping takes place when the windshield is dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield wipers in dry weather conditions, always
use washer fluid when operating the wind-
shield wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on
the windshield after the vehicle has been
washed in an automatic car wash, wax or
other residues may be the reason for this.

desired position (except position 0).
R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R Recommendation for avoiding misted
windows at low exterior temperatures
or in rain: switch on the 005Acooling with
dehumidification function (Y page 129).
Set air distribution to 0061and if possible
switch off 009Cand009B (Ypage 132).
In air-recirculation mode, switch 008Aoff
(Y page 135).
Set airflow control 0083to a setting between
3 and 6(Y page 132).
R Recommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior: briefly set
airflow control 0083to a setting between 3
and 6(Y page 132).
R Recommendation for a constant vehi-
cle interior temperature: set airflow con-
trol 0083to a setting between 1and 3
(Y page 132).
R Recommendation for air distribution in
the winter: set009B and0061
(Y page 132).
Recommendation for air distribution in
the summer: set009C or009C and0061
(Y page 132).
R Only use the "Windshield defrosting" func-
tion briefly until the windshield is clear
again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odors or when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
R Vehicles with COMAND: if you change the
settings of the climate control system, the
climate status display appears for three
seconds at the bottom of the screen in the
COMAND display. See also the separate
COMAND operating instructions. You will
see the current settings of the various cli-
mate control functions.

air dehumidification
General notes If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi-
cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore, only
deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidifi-
cation" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. The air inside the vehicle is cooled and
dehumidified according to the temperature
selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc- tion. Operating the climate control systems

General notes The automatic function is only available in
conjunction with dual-zone automatic climate
control.
In automatic mode, the set temperature is
maintained automatically at a constant level. The system automatically regulates the tem-
perature of the dispensed air, the airflow and
the air distribution.
The automatic mode functions optimally
when the "Cooling with air dehumidification"
function is activated. If necessary, cooling
with air dehumidification can be deactivated.
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi-
cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi- cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidifi-

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
R keep the air inlet between the windshield
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice, snow or leaves.
R never cover the air vents or air intake grilles
in the vehicle interior.
i You can move the adjusters for the air
vents vertically or horizontally to set the
direction of the airflow. i
For optimal climate control in the vehicle,
open the air vents completely and set the
adjusters to the central position. Setting the center air vents
