Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-lowing pages. The windows could otherwise fogup.
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
Ractivate the "Windshield defrosting" functionbriefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature andair humidity in the vehicle interior. The interiorfilter cleans the air, thus improving the interiorclimate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" functionis only available when the engine is running.Optimum climate control is only achieved withthe side windows and roof closed.
If you start the engine using your smartphone,the last selected climate control setting is reac-tivated (Ypage 134).
The integrated filter filters out most particles ofdust and soot and completely filters out pollen.It also reduces gaseous pollutants and odors. Aclogged filter reduces the amount of air suppliedto the vehicle interior. For this reason, youshould always observe the interval for replacingthe filter, which is specified in the MaintenanceBooklet. As it depends on environmental condi-tions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval maybe shorter than stated in the Maintenance Book-let.
iVentilate the vehicle for a brief period duringwarm weather, e.g. using the convenienceopening feature (Ypage 91). This will speedup the cooling process and the desired inte-rior temperature will be reached morequickly.
iIt is possible that the blower may be activa-ted automatically 60 minutes after the Smart-Key has been removed depending on variousfactors, e.g. the outside temperature. Thevehicle is then ventilated for 30 minutes to drythe automatic climate control.

The following cause engine failure or damageto the exhaust system:
RUse of engine oils and oil filters that havenot been expressly approved for the servicesystem
RReplacement of engine oil and oil filter afterthe replacement interval specified by theservice system has expired
RUse of engine oil additives
!Do not add too much oil. adding too muchengine oil can result in damage to the engineor to the catalytic converter. Have excessengine oil siphoned off.
Add engine oil (example)
XTurn cap Ccounter-clockwise and remove it.
XAdd engine oil.If the oil level is at or below the MIN mark onthe oil dipstick, add 1.1 US qt (1.0l)of engineoil.
XReplace cap Con the filler neck and tightenclockwise.Ensure that the cap locks into place securely.
XCheck the oil level again with the oil dipstick(Ypage 301).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Working in the engine compartment poses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and
touch only the components described in the
following.
GWARNING
The engine compartment contains moving
components. Certain components, such as
the radiator fan, may continue to run or start
again suddenly when the ignition is off. There
is a risk of injury.
If you need to do any work inside the engine
compartment:
Rswitch off the ignition
Rnever reach into the area where there is a
risk of danger from moving components,
such as the fan rotation area
Rremove jewelry and watches
Rkeep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple, away from moving parts
GWARNING
The cooling system is pressurized, particularly
when the motor is warm. If you open the cap,
you could be scalded if hot coolant sprays out.
There is a risk of injury.
Let the engine cool down before you open the
cap. Wear protective gloves and protective
eyewear when opening. Open the cap slowly
to release pressure.
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.

Maintenance and care
Use only SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 engine oilsfor Mercedes-AMG vehicles.
iMB approval is indicated on the oil contain-ers.
Filling capacities
The following values refer to an oil changeincluding the oil filter.

9.5 US qt (9.0l)
All other models6.9 US qt (6.5l)
Additives
!Do not use any additives in the engine oil.This could damage the engine.
Brake fluid
GWARNING
The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture
from the air. This lowers the boiling point of
the brake fluid. If the boiling point of the brake
fluid is too low, vapor pockets may form in the
brake system when the brakes are applied
hard. This would impair braking efficiency.
There is a risk of an accident.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
the specified intervals.
When handling brake fluid, observe the impor-tant safety notes on service products(Ypage 358).
The brake fluid change intervals can be found inthe Maintenance Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz in accordance with MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.
Information on approved brake fluid can beobtained in the following places:
Rfrom an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
Rin the Mercedes-Benz Specification for Ser-vice Products by entering the designation
-on the Internet athttp://bevo.mercedes-benz.com
-on the Mercedes-Benz BeVo app
iHave the brake fluid regularly replaced at aqualified specialist workshop in accordancewith the replacement intervals and thereplacement confirmed in the MaintenanceBooklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixedwith the desired antifreeze protection. Youcould otherwise damage the engine.
You can find additional notes on the coolant inthe following places:
Rin the Mercedes-Benz Specifications forService Products, MB BeVo 310.1
-on the Internet athttp://bevo.mercedes-benz.com
-on the Mercedes-Benz BeVo app
Ra qualified specialized workshop
!Always use a suitable coolant mixture, evenin countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is notsufficiently protected from corrosion andoverheating.
iHave the coolant regularly replaced at aqualified specialist workshop and the replace-ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
