Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models,
series and optional equipment for your vehi-
cle that were available at the time of going to
press. National variations are possible. Note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
of the functions described. This is also the
case for systems and functions relevant to
safety.
i Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops: (Y page 23). Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R activate the "Cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion" function
R activate the windscreen demisting function
briefly, if required
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control reg-
ulates the temperature and the humidity in the
vehicle interior and filters undesirable substan-
ces out of the air.
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control is
only operational when the vehicle is ready to
drive. Optimum operation is only achieved with
the side windows closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(Y page 122).
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear (Y page 106). Otherwise the
vehicle will not be ventilated correctly.
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (Y page 83). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odours. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should always observe
the interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Service Booklet. As this
depends on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i Vehicles with auxiliary heating:
under
certain environmental conditions, the resid-
ual heat function may be activated automati-
cally an hour after the key has been removed
in order to dry the automatic climate control.
When the automatic climate control drying
function is active, the blue LED lamp is lit in
the rocker switch in the centre console. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes.
Vehicles without auxiliary heating: under
certain environmental conditions, the resid-
ual heat function may be activated automati-
cally an hour after the key has been removed in order to dry the automatic climate control.
The vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes. 114
Overview of climate control systemsClimate control
With active "Pre-entry climate control at depar-
ture time" the charge status of the high-voltage
battery can be reduced, even if the charge cable connector is connected.
In certain situations, the desired interior tem-
perature cannot be reached.
When the vehicle is cooled, the following func-
tions are activated as necessary:
R Automatic climate control
R cooling with air dehumidification
R blower
When the vehicle is heated, the following func-
tions are activated as necessary:
R Automatic climate control
R Blower
R Seat heating
R Windscreen heating
R Rear window heating
"Immediate pre-entry climate control" is auto-
matically switched off when operational readi-
ness mode is requested.
Setting the departure time You can set a departure time for the "Pre-entry
climate control at departure time". Your vehicle
will then be cooled or heated until the desired
temperature is reached in time for the set depar-
ture time. "Pre-entry climate control at depar-
ture time" will be activated a maximum of
35 minutes before departure. If the departure is delayed, the vehicle will be heated or cooled fora further five minutes.
You can set the desired departure time in the E-
E-
CELL
CELL submenu on the on-board computer
(Y page 184).
Activating immediate pre-entry climate
control You can activate "Immediate pre-entry climate
control" even if the vehicle interior is already at
the desired temperature. This means, for exam- ple, that the vehicle interior continues to be
cooled or heated if the journey is interrupted for up to 50 minutes and the interior temperature iskept constant. You can only set the desired tem-
perature using the climate control unit. If you do not pre-select a temperature, the last tempera-
ture set will be automatically adopted. To activate/deactivate "Immediate pre-
entry climate control"
X Press button :in the centre console.
The blue or red indicator lamp in the button
lights up or goes out.
The colours of the indicator lamps in the button have the following meanings:
Red Heating activated
Blue Cooling activated
Yellow Pre-entry climate control at departure is preselected Switching the residual heat on/off
General notes It is possible to make use of the residual heat of
the engine to continue heating the vehicle for a
short period after the drive system has been
switched off. The heating time depends on the
set interior temperature.
i The blower will run at a low speed regardless
of the airflow setting.
i If you activate the residual heat function at
high temperatures, only the ventilation will be
activated. The blower runs at medium speed.
i You cannot use the ventilation to cool the
vehicle interior to a temperature lower than
the outside temperature. 122

If it is permitted by law to operate communica-
tions equipment while the vehicle is in motion,
you may only do so if the traffic situation per-
mits. You may otherwise be distracted from the
traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an
exterior aerial
Information on retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 280).
General notes There are various mobile phone brackets that
may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases,
these are country-specific.

mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones to
COMAND Online/Audio 20 can be obtained:
R at your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
R on the Internet at http://www.mercedes-

The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket. X
Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 226).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone
bracket; see the separate installation instruc- tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, then you must con-
nect it to a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual.
Operating the mobile phone You can operate the telephone using the
6
and ~ buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel. You can operate other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 181).
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the mobile phone is disconnected from the vehi-cle. You can then no longer make calls using the
hands-free system.
If a call is active and you remove the key from
the ignition lock, the conversation is transferred over to the mobile phone. It is then possible to
continue the conversation on the mobile phone. Features
