WARNING
If you use the memory function on the driver's side while driving, you could lose control of
the vehicle as a result of the adjustments
being made. There is a risk of an accident.
Only use the memory function on the driver's
side when the vehicle is stationary. G
WARNING
When the memory function adjusts the seat or steering wheel, you and other vehicle occu- pants – particularly children – could become
trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the memory function is making adjust-
ments, make sure that no one has any body
parts in the sweep of the seat or steering
wheel. If somebody becomes trapped, imme- diately release the memory function position
button. The adjustment process is stopped. G
WARNING

standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off automati-
cally if the vehicle reaches a speed of above
6 mph (10 km/h) again after a full brake appli-
cation.
i The hazard warning lamps still operate if the
ignition is switched off. Adaptive Highbeam Assist
General notes You can use this function to set the headlamps
to change between low beam and high beam
automatically. The system recognizes vehicles
with their lights on, either approaching from the opposite direction or traveling in front of your
vehicle, and consequently switches the head-
lamps from high beam to low beam.
The system automatically adapts the low-beam
headlamp range depending on the distance to
the other vehicle. Once the system no longer
detects any other vehicles, it reactivates the
high-beam headlamps.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control panel.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist does not recognize road users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier 98

Automatic interior lighting control
X
To switch on or off: press the0033button.
When the automatic interior lighting control is
activated, the button is flush with the over-
head control panel.
The interior lighting automatically switches on if you:
R unlock the vehicle
R open a door
R switch off the engine with the Start/Stop but-
ton
The interior lighting is activated for a short time
when the engine is switched off with the Start/ Stop button. This delayed switch-off can be
adjusted via the multimedia system (see Digital
Operator's Manual). Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle safety.
You must therefore make sure that these func-
tion correctly at all times. Have the headlamp
setting checked regularly. Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
! Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col- lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
! If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
! Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windshield becom- ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
shield wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch offthe windshield wipers in dry weather. 0047

X Switch on the ignition.
X Turn the combination switch to the corre-
sponding position.
In the 0062or0063 position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the 0063position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the 0062 position, causing the windshield wiper
to wipe more frequently.
The rain sensor is only an aid. The driver is
responsible for ensuring unimpaired vision. Turn
the switch to a suitable position, depending on
the intensity of the precipitation, to ensure that a good view of the traffic conditions is main-
tained.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield willno longer be wiped properly. This could preventyou from observing the traffic conditions.
Worn or damaged wiper blades cause smearing. This can cause the rain sensor to malfunction 100

Replacing the wiper blades
Important safety notes G
WARNING
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.
! Never open the hood if a windshield wiper
arm has been folded away from the wind-
shield.
Never fold a windshield wiper arm without a
wiper blade back onto the windshield.
Hold the windshield wiper arm firmly when
you change the wiper blade. If you release the
windshield wiper arm without a wiper blade
and it falls onto the windshield, the windshield 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.
! To avoid damaging the wiper blades, make
sure that you touch only the wiper arm of the
wiper.
Replacing the wiper blades Adjusting the wiper blades so that they
are vertical
X Switch off the engine.
X Remove your foot from the brake pedal. X
Set the windshield wiper to the 00AAposition.
X Press the Start/Stop button repeatedly until
the windshield wiper starts.
X When the wiper arms are in a vertical position
to the hood, press the Start/Stop button.
X Fold the wiper arm away from the windshield.
Removing the wiper blades X
Set the wiper blade at right angles to the
wiper arm.
X Remove the wiper blade from the retainer on
the wiper arm in the direction of the arrow.
Installing the wiper blades
X Slide the new wiper blade into the retainer on
the wiper arm in the opposite direction to the arrow.
X Turn the wiper blade parallel to the wiper arm.
X Fold the wiper arm back onto the windshield. Windshield wipers

0050Solutions The windshield wipers
are jammed. Leaves or snow, for example, may be obstructing the windshield wiper
movement. The wiper motor has been deactivated.
X Switch off the engine using the Start/Stop button and open the
driver's door.
X Remove the cause of the obstruction.
X Switch the windshield wipers back on. The windshield wipers
fail completely. The windshield wiper drive is malfunctioning.
X Select another wiper speed on the combination switch.
X Have the windshield wipers checked at a qualified specialist work-
shop. The windshield washer
fluid from the spray noz-
zles no longer hits the
center of the windshield. The spray nozzles are misaligned.
X Have the spray nozzles adjusted at a qualified specialist workshop. The wiper arms are on
the windshield. The wiper arms have been moved by an external force.
X Select key position 0048with the Start/Stop button.
The wiper arms move back down automatically. 102

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:
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 activate the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature and
air humidity in the vehicle interior. The interior
filter cleans the air, thus improving the interior
climate.
The cooling with air dehumidification function is only available when the engine is running. Opti-mum climate control is only achieved with the
side windows closed. i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (Y page 78). 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. A clogged filter reduces the
amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior.
Depending on the operating conditions and
environmental influences, the interval for
replacing the filter may be shorter than speci- fied.
i It is possible that the blower may be activa-
ted automatically 60 minutes after the engine has been switched off depending on various
factors, e.g. the outside temperature. The
vehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to drythe climate control system. Control panel for dual-zone automatic climate control
