automatic climate control
Automatic climate control The following contains instructions and rec-
ommendations to enable you to get the most
out of your THERMOTRONIC automatic cli-
mate control.
R Activate climate control using the Ãand
¿ buttons. The indicator lamps in the
à and¿ buttons light up.
R Set the temperature to 22 †. R
Only use the "Windscreen demisting" func-
tion briefly until the windscreen is clear
again.
R Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g.
if there are unpleasant outside odours or
when in a tunnel. The windows could oth-
erwise mist up as no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
R Use the ZONE function to adopt the tem-
perature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side as well. The indi-
cator lamp in the ábutton goes out. Overview of climate control systems

Use the residual heat function if you want to
heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when
the ignition is switched off. The residual
heat function can only be activated or deac- tivated with the ignition switched off.
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.
DYNAMIC SELECT button (except
Mercedes-AMG vehicles) You can choose between various drive pro-
grams with the DYNAMIC SELECT button
(Y
page 174).
If you have selected drive program E:
R when heating, the electrical heater booster
is deactivated and in the warming-up phase
heat output is reduced
R the rear window heating running time is
reduced
Depending on the configuration, the climate
settings can also be influenced in drive pro-
gram I.
If you have selected drive program Cor S, the
climate settings are not affected.
ECO start/stop function During automatic engine switch-off, the cli-
mate control only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control out-

the temperature to 22 †.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation can be acti- vated or deactivated using the remote control or the button on the centre console.
The on-board computer can be used to spec-
ify up to three departure times, one of which
may be preselected (Y page 260).

Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For more information, please
contact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary
heating so that the auxiliary heating cannot
be switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxili-
ary heating is kept out of the reach of chil-
dren.
The remote control has a range of approx-
imately 300 metres. This range is reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space

ECO start/stop function
Introduction The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically if the vehicle is stop-
ped under certain conditions.
When pulling away again, the engine starts
automatically. The ECO start/stop function
thereby helps you to reduce the fuel con-
sumption and emissions of your vehicle.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the engine is switched off automatically and you exit the vehicle, the engine is restarted
automatically. The vehicle may begin moving. There is a risk of accident and injury.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off
the ignition and secure the vehicle against
rolling away.
General notes :
ECO start/stop display
The ECO start/stop function is activated
whenever you start the engine using the key
or the Start/Stop button.
If the è ECO symbol is shown in green in
the multifunction display, the ECO start/stop
function switches the engine off automati-
cally once the vehicle stops moving.
If the ECO start/stop function has been man- ually deactivated (Y page 171) or a malfunc-
tion has caused the system to be deactivated, the è ECO symbol is not displayed.
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: the ECO start/
stop function is only available in drive pro-
gram C. Automatic engine switch-off General notes
The ECO start/stop function is operational
and the
èECO symbol is displayed in
green in the multifunction display, if:
R the indicator lamp in the ECO button is lit
green
R the outside temperature is within the range
that is suitable for the system
R the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature
R the set temperature for the vehicle interior
has been reached
R the battery is sufficiently charged
R the system detects that the windscreen is
not misted up when the air-conditioning
system is switched on
R the bonnet is closed
R the driver's door is closed and the driver's
seat belt is fastened
If the conditions for automatic engine switch- off are not all fulfilled, the èECO symbol is
shown in yellow.
All of the vehicle's systems remain active
when the engine is switched off automati-
cally.
The engine can be switched off automatically
a maximum of four times (initial stop, then
three subsequent stops) in succession. The
è ECO symbol is shown in yellow in the
multifunction display after the engine has
been started automatically for the fourth
time. When the èECO symbol is shown in
