Important safety notes
G WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could: R
open the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users. R
get out and disrupt traffic. R
operate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they: R
release the parking brake. R
shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position PR
Start the engine.
There is ar isk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children or animals unattended in the
vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey out of
reach of children.
G WARNING
If you attach heavy or large object stot he
SmartKey, the SmartKey could be uninten-
tionally turned in the ignition lock. This could
cause the engine to be switched off. There is a
risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large object stot he
SmartKey. Remove any bulky key rings before
insertin gt he SmartKey into the ignition lock.
! Keep the SmartKey away from stron gm ag-
netic fields. Otherwise, the remote control
function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the SmartKey: R
with electronic devices, e.g. am obile phone
or another SmartKey. R
with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil. R
inside metallic objects, e.g. am etal case
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO star tf unction: do
not keep the SmartKey in the trunk .O therwise, the SmartKey may not be detected, e.g. when
startin gt he engine using the Start/Stop button.

Overview of climat ec ontrol systems
General notes Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fog
up.
To preven tt he windows from fogging up:R
switch off climate control only briefly R
switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly R
switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function R
switch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
The air-conditionin gs ystem or dual-zon ea uto-
matic climate control regulates the temperature
and the humidity of the vehicle interior and fil-
ters undesirable substances from the air.
The air-conditionin gs ystem or dual-zon ea uto-
matic climate control can only be operated
when the engin eisr unning. Optimum operation
is only achieved with the side windows and pan-
orama roof with power tilt/sliding panel closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,
the last selected climate control setting is reac-
tivated ( Y
page 83).
The residual heat function can only be activated
or deactivated with the ignition switched off
( Y
page 119). Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side trim panel in the cargo compartment clear
( Y
page 106). Otherwise the vehicle will not be
ventilated correctly.
i Ventilate the vehicle for ab rief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature ( Y
page 83). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most parti-
cles of dust and soot and completely filters
out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pollutants
and odors. Ac logged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
For this reason, you should alway so bserve
the interval for replacing the filter, which is
specified in the Maintenance Booklet. As it
depends on environmental conditions ,e .g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Maintenance Book-
let.
i It is possible that under certain circumstan-
ces the residual heat function may be activa-
ted automatically an hour after the SmartKey
has been removed in order to dry the auto-
mat ic climate control. The vehicle is then ven-
tilated for 30 minutes.110
Overview of climat ec ontrol systems
Climat ec ontrol

! Do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary. Drive off immediately .A void high
engine speeds and driving at full throttle until
the engine has reached its operating temper-
ature.
Only shift the automatic transmission to the
desired drive position when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Where possible ,a void spinning the drive
wheels when pulling awa yons lippery roads.
You could otherwise damage the drive train.
! Mercedes-AMG vehicles: avoid full-load
operation and engine speeds greater than
5000 rpm when the engine is cold. This helps
to protect the engine and avoids uncomfort-
able driving.

To start the engine
i The SmartKey can be turned in the ignition
lock even if it is not the correct SmartKey for
the vehicle. The ignition is not switched on.
The engine cannot be started. Start/Stop button General notes Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with
SmartKeys featuring the integrated KEYLESS-
GO function and ad etachable Start/Stop but-
ton.
Ac heck which periodically establishes ar adio
connection between the vehicle and the Smart-
Key determines whether av alid SmartKey is in
the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when
starting the engine.
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use
the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different Smart-
Key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
SmartKey: R
the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock R
the SmartKey must be in the vehicle R
the vehicle must not be locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO ( Y
page 71)
Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO key: R
with electronic devices, e.g. am obile phone
or another SmartKey. R
with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil. R
inside metallic objects, e.g. am etal case.
This can affect the functionality of KEYLESS-GO.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKey remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after as hort time:R
you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button. R
you will no longer be able to start the engine
with the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again.
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door ( Y
page 76), you can continue
to start the engine with the Start/Stop button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehicle
is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for three seconds. This function122
