Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 25). Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise 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
The air-conditioning system/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
regulates the temperature and the humidity
of the vehicle interior and filters undesirable
substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
can only be operated when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows and panorama sliding
sunroof closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 155).
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear (Y page 136). Otherwise
the vehicle will not be ventilated correctly. i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 102).
This will speed up the cooling process and
the desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With THERMOTRONIC auto-
matic climate control, gaseous pollutants
and odours will also be reduced. 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 envi-
ronmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollu-
tion, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i Vehicles with auxiliary heating:
under
certain environmental conditions, the
residual heat function may be activated
automatically an hour after the key has
been removed in order to dry the automatic climate control. When the automatic cli-
mate control drying function is active, the
blue LED lamp is lit in the rocker switch in
the centre console. The vehicle is then ven-
tilated for 30 minutes.
Vehicles without auxiliary heating:
under certain environmental conditions,
the residual heat function may be activated automatically an hour after the key has
been removed in order to dry the automatic
climate control. The vehicle is then ventila-
ted for 30 minutes. 144
Overview of climate control systemsClimate control
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventila-
tion switches off when you turn the key to key
position 2(Y page 165).
The auxiliary heating switches off automati-
cally after 50 minutes.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to
cool the vehicle interior to a temperature
lower than the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock (Y page 165).
X Set the desired temperature.
Auxiliary heating or ventilation can also be
switched on if the manually set climate con-
trol is activated. Optimum comfort is attained by setting the system to automatic mode. Set
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).

lation on or off using the button on the

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the remote control General notes
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
If the remote control battery is low, the bat-
tery symbol on the left of the display is shown as empty. Replace the remote control battery Operating the climate control system

You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating mobile communications
equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. You may otherwise be dis-
tracted 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 vehi-
cle electronics and mobile phones is mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated 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

may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases,
these are country-specific. More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting

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.

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 telephone module into the pre-installed
fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial.
If you wish to charge the mobile phone, then
you must connect it to a USB port.
