Notes on climate control
An interior
Nlt er in combination with the preNlter
in the engine compartment must always be used
so that the air conditioning system, pollution level
monitoring and the air Nltration work correctly.
Use Nlters recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Always have maintenance work
carried out at a qualiNed specialist workshop. Overview of the THERMATIC climate bar
