Optimum use of the automatic climate
control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on how best to use dual-zone automatic
climate control or 3-zone automatic climate
control (vehicles in Canada only).
XActivate climate control using the Ã
rocker switch. The indicator lamp above the
à rocker switch lights up. The "Cooling
with dehumidification" function is activated in
automatic mode.
XSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
iOnly use the "Windshield defrosting" func-
tion briefly until the windshield is clear again.
iOnly 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.
Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate control:
use the "Residual heat" function if you want to
heat or ventilate the vehicle interior when the
ignition is switched off. The residual heat func-
tion can only be activated or deactivated with
the ignition switched off. The residual heat func-
tion is switched off when the ignition is switched on.
DYNAMIC SELECT switch (except
Mercedes-AMG C 63 /C63S)
You can choose between various drive programs
with the DYNAMIC SELECT switch
(
Ypage 144).
If you have selected drive program E:
Rwhen heating, the electrical heater booster is
deactivated and heat output is reduced as a
result
Rthe rear window defroster running time is
reduced If you have selected drive program
C,Sor S+,
the current climate settings are maintained.
ECO start/stop function
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 (
Ypage 141).

General notes
When the climate control is switched off, the air
supply and air circulation are also switched off.
The windows could fog up. Therefore, switch off
climate control only briefly
Switch on climate control primarily using the
à rocker switch (
Ypage 127).
Activating/deactivating
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (Ypage 136).
XTo switch on: set the airflow to level 1or
higher using the Hrocker switch.
XTo switch off: set the airflow to level 0using
the H rocker switch.
i3-zone automatic climate control: when cli-
mate control is switched off, "OFF" appears in
the rear-compartment display.
