Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the windshield wipers begin to move while
you are changing the wiper blades, you could be trapped by the wiper arm. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
ignition before changing the wiper blades.
!To avoid damaging the wiper blades, make
sure that you touch only the wiper arm of the
wiper.
!Never open the hood/tailgate if a wiper arm
has been folded away from the windshield/
rear window.
Never fold a windshield wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windshield/rear
window.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release the
wiper arm without a wiper blade and it falls
onto the windshield/rear window, the wind-
shield/rear window may be damaged by the
force of the impact.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
the wiper blades changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

Optimum use of automatic climate
control
Optimum use of the automatic climate
control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on optimum use of the dual-zone or 3-zone
automatic climate control.
RYou can switch on climate control by using the
à and¿ orà andÁ buttons.
The indicator lamps in the Ãand
¿ buttons or the ÃandÁ buttons
light up.
RVehicles with 3-zone climate control: in
automatic mode, you can also use the
ñ button to set a climate mode (FOCUS/
MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The MEDIUM level is
recommended.
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up,
since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
RVehicles with 3-zone climate control: use
the ZONE function to adopt the temperature
settings on the driver's side for the front-
passenger side and the rear compartment as
well. The indicator lamp above the ábut-
ton goes out.
RVehicles with 3-zone climate control: use
the "residual heat" function if you want to heat
or ventilate the vehicle interior when the igni-
tion is switched off. The residual heat function
can only be activated or deactivated with the
ignition switched off.
RIf you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,
you can switch off the ECO start/stop function
by pressing the ECO button (
