Overview of climat
econtrol systems General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up.
To preven tthe windows from mistin gup:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activat eair-recirculation mode only briefly
R switch on "Cooling with air dehumidification"
R activat ethe windscreen demistin gfunction
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The interior
filter cleans the air, thus improvin gthe interior
climate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification "function
is only available when the engine is running.
Optimum climate control is only achieved with
the side windows and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(Y page 136).
i Ventilate the vehicle for
abrief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the "Convenience
opening "feature (Y page 94). 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. Aclogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should alway sobserve
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 It is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the key
has been removed depending on various fac-
tors ,e.g. the outside temperature. The vehi-
cle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic climate control. Overview of climat

If you mix dieself
uel with petrol, the flash
point of this fuel mixture is lowert han that of
pure dieself uel. When the engine is running,
components in the exhaust system may over-
heat unnoticed. There is arisk of fire.
Never refuel with petrol. Never add petrol to
dieself uel.
! Do not use dieseltor
efuel vehicleswith a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise ,the fuel wille nter the fuel system.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel can
resultind amage to the fuel system and the
engine. Notify aqualifieds pecialist workshop
and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained
completely.
! Do not use petrol to refuel vehicle
swith a
diesele ngine. Do not switch on the ignition if
you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise ,fuel can enter the fuel system.
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
resultind amage to the fuel system and the
engine. The repairc osts are high. Notify a
qualifieds pecialist workshop and have the
fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take care not to spilla
ny fuel on painted
surfaces .You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use
afilter when adding fuel from afuel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system could otherwise be blocked by particle sfrom
the fuel can.
If you overfill the fuel tank, some fuel may spray
out when you remove the fuel pump nozzle.

In such cases, DISTRONIC PLUS may:
R give an unnecessary warning and then
brake the vehicle
R neither give awarning nor intervene
R accelerate or brake unexpectedly
There is arisk of an accident.
Continue to drive carefully and be prepared to
brake, particularly if DISTRONIC PLUS warns
you. G
WARNING
DISTRONIC PLUS brakes yourv ehicle with up
to 50% of the maximum possible deceleration.
If this deceleration is not sufficient,
DISTRONIC PLUS alerts you with avisuala nd
acoustic warning. There is arisk of an acci-
dent.
Apply the brakes yourself in these situations
and try to take evasive action.
! When DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD func-
tion is activated, the vehicle brakes automat- icallyinc ertain situations.
To avoid damage to the vehicle ,deactivate
DISTRONIC PLUS and the HOLD function in
the following or similar situations:
R when towing away
R in ac ar wash
If you fail to adapt yourd riving style, DISTRONIC
PLUS can neither reduce the risk of an accident
nor override the lawsofp hysics. DISTRONIC
PLUS cannot take road and weather conditions
or traffic conditions into account. DISTRONIC
PLUS is only an aid.Y ou are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed,f or braking in good time, and for staying
in lane.
Do not use DISTRONIC PLUS:
R in road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain aconstant speed,e .g. in
heavy traffic or on winding roads
R on smooth or slippery roads. Braking or accel-
erating can cause the drive wheelstol ose
traction and the vehicle could then skid
R when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow DISTRONIC PLUS may not detect narrow vehi-
cles driving in front, e.g. motorcycles, or vehi-
cles driving on
adifferent line.
In particular, the detection of obstacle scan be
impaired in the case of:
R dirt on the sensors or obscured sensors
R snow or heavy rain
R interference by other radars ources
R the possibility of strong radarr eflections, for
example ,inmulti-storey car parks
If DISTRONIC PLUS no longer detects avehicle
in front, it may unexpectedly accelerate to the
speed stored.
This speed can:
R be too high for afilter lane or aslip road
R be so high in the right lane that you pass vehi-
cles driving on the left (left-hand drive coun-
tries)
R be so high in the left lane that you pass vehi-
cles driving on the right (right-hand drive
countries)
If there is achange of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.

If the ASSYST PLUS service interval display
has been inadvertently reset, this setting can
be corrected at aqualified specialist work-
shop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Servic eBooklet .This may otherwise lead
to increased wear and damage to the major
assemblies or the vehicle.
Aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre, will reset the
ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
Special service requirements The prescribed service interval is based on nor-
mal operation of the vehicle. Servic ework will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is
operated under arduous conditions or increased loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further informationcan be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Driving abroad An extensive Mercedes-Benz Servic

with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for afew minutes after cleaning.
Brakin gheats the brake discs and the brake

General notes When handling engine oil, observe the important
safety notes on service products (Y page 371).
The quality of the engine oil is decisive for the
function and service life of an engine. After
extensive tests, Mercedes-Benz approves
engine oils that correspond to the current tech-
nical standard.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz approved
engine oils may be used in Mercedes-Benz
engines.
Further information on tested and approved
engine oils can be obtained from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you have the oil change carried out
at aq ualifieds pecialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz approval is indicated on the oil container
by the inscription "MB-Freigabe" or "MB-
Approval "and the corresponding designation,
e.g. MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 229.51. You can call up an overview of approved engine
oils on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com by entering
the designation, e.g. 229.5.
The table shows which engine oils have been
approved for yourv ehicle.
Petrol engines: in certain countries, different
engine oils can be used,p rovidedthat the main-
tenance intervals are reduced .For more infor-
mation, please contact aqualifieds pecialist
