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
the humidity in the vehicle interior and filters
undesirable substances out of the air.
The residual heat function can only be activated or deactivated with the ignition switched off
(Y page 123).
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather, e.g. using the convenience
opening feature (Y page 87). This will speed
up the cooling process and the desired inte-
rior temperature will be reached more
quickly. If you start the engine using your smartphone,
the last selected climate control setting is reac-
tivated (Y page 129).
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 Vehicles with ionization of the interior
air with air filter: in addition to ionization,
the vehicle has an air filter with anti-allergenic properties that contribute to improved air fil-
tration.
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-
matic climate control. The vehicle is then ven-tilated for 30 minutes. Control panel for dual-zone automatic climate control

control
The following contains notes and recommenda-
tions on optimum use of the dual-zone auto-
matic climate control or 3-zone automatic cli-
mate control.
R You can switch on climate control by using the
0058 and005A or0058 and0056 buttons.
The indicator lamps in the 0058and
005A buttons or the 0058and0056 buttons
light up.
R Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: in automatic mode, you can also use
the 00F0 button to set a climate mode
(FOCUS/MEDIUM/DIFFUSE). The MEDIUM
level is recommended.
R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R Only use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
R Only 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.
R Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side for
the front-passenger side and the rear com-
partment as well. The indicator lamp above
the 00D6 button goes out.
R Vehicles with 3-zone automatic climate
control: use the "residual heat" function if
you want to heat or ventilate the vehicle inte- rior when the ignition is switched off. The
residual heat function can only be activated or
deactivated with the ignition switched off.
R If you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display. You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control functions.
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 (Y page 132). Operating the climate control sys-
