The climate control system is operational
whenever the engine is running. You can
operate the climate control system in either
the automatic or manual mode. The system
cools or heats the interior depending on the
selected interior temperature and the current
outside temperature.
It can only function optimally when you are
driving with the windows and the retractable
hardtop closed.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors
are filtered out before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air dis-
tribution system.
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution)
may require replacement of the filter before
its scheduled replacement interval. A clog-
ged filter will reduce the air volume to the
interior and the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others. Have a clogged filter replaced
as soon as possible at an authorized Mer-
cedes-Benz Center.
The air conditioning will not engage (no cool-
ing) if the
A/C mode (
vated.
Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following
pages. Otherwise the windows could fog
up, impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
Keep the air intake grille in front of the wind-
shield free of snow and debris.
When the retractable hardtop is closed, do
not obstruct air flow by placing objects on the
air flow-through exhaust slots below the rear
window.
i
If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the
interior before driving off. The climate con-
trol will then adjust the interior tempera-
ture to the set value much faster.
