out of your dual-zone automatic climate con- trol.
R Activate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps in the

R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †). 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 Use the ZONE function to adopt the tem-

cator lamp in the ábutton goes out.
R If you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds
at the bottom of the screen in the Audio/
COMAND display (see separate operating
instructions). You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control func-
tions.
You can choose between various drive pro-
grams with the program selector button
(Y page 137). If you have selected drive pro-
gram E+, the climate control switches to Eco
mode and thermal comfort is impaired.
In Eco mode:
R the cooling output is reduced when cooling
R heat output is reduced when heating
R the time for which the rear window
defroster will run is reduced

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 operational when the vehicle is ready
to drive. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the tempera-
ture 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. 118

General notes 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-

tion mode
General notes You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odors are entering the vehicle

windows can fog up more quickly, in particu-
lar at low temperatures. Only use air-recircu-
lation mode briefly to prevent the windows
from fogging up.

Driving systems
Cruise control
General notes Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid exceeding the set speed. Change into
transmission position D-
(Y page 138) on long
and steep downhill gradients. This increases
recuperation in overrun mode. This relieves
the load on the brake system and prevents
the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con- ditions make it appropriate to maintain a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can store any road speed above 20 mph
(30 km/ h).
The speed indicated in the speedometer may differ slightly from the speed stored.
Important safety notes If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise
control can neither reduce the risk of an acci-
dent nor override the laws of physics. Cruise
control cannot take into account the road,
traffic and weather conditions. Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible for the dis-
tance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in
your lane.
Do not use cruise control:
R in road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed e.g.
in heavy traffic or on winding roads
R on slippery road surfaces. Braking or accel-
erating could cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could then skid
R when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new driver of the speed stored. Cruise control lever

R the electric parking brake must be
released.
R ESP ®
must be active, but not intervening.
R the transmission must be in position D.
Storing, maintaining and calling up a

X Accelerate the vehicle to the desired
speed.
X Briefly press the cruise control lever up :
