Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fog
up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
Rswitch off climate control only briefly
Rswitch on air-recirculation mode only briefly
Rswitch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function
Rswitch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The air filter
cleans the air, thus improving the interior cli-
mate.
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.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,
the last selected climate control setting is reac-
tivated (
Ypage 126).
The residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(
Ypage 120).
To enable the air conditioning, pollutant moni-
toring and air filtering systems to function cor-
rectly, an interior filter must be used at all times. Ensure that the filter is properly installed and that the filter housing in the engine compart-
ment is correctly and tightly sealed by the cover
at all times during operation. Use filters that
have been recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Always have service work car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The integrated filter filters out most particles of dust and soot and completely filters out pollen.
It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odors. A
clogged filter reduces the amount of air suppliedto the vehicle interior. For this reason, you
should always observe the interval for replacing
the filter, which is specified in the Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental condi- tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may
be shorter than stated in the Maintenance Book-
let.
iWhen the weather is warm, ventilate the
vehicle for a brief period. This will speed up
the cooling process and the desired interior
temperature will be reached more quickly.
iIt is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the Smart-
Key has been removed depending on various
factors, e.g. the outside temperature. In vehi- cles with the KEYLESS-GO or KEYLESS-GO
start function, the blower can switch on auto-
matically after the engine has been switched
off and the door opened. The vehicle is then
ventilated for 30 minutes to dry the automatic
climate control.
114Overview of climate control systems
Climate control

Setting climate control to automatic
General notes
In automatic mode, the set temperature is main-
tained automatically at a constant level. The
system automatically regulates the temperature
of the dispensed air, the airflow and the air dis-
tribution.
During automatic controlling, the "Cooling with
air dehumidification" function is activated.
The system automatically detects whether the
soft top is open or closed and automatically
adjusts the air settings depending on the soft
top status.
Setting climate control to automatic
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Ypage 124).

In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or
air distribution manually, the indicator lamp on
the à rocker switch goes out. The function
which has not been changed manually, however,
continues to be controlled automatically. When
the manually set function switches back to auto-
matic mode, the indicator lamp on the Ã
rocker switch lights up again.
