Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions.
Exterior lighting Important safety notes For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recommends that you drive with the lights switched on even during the daytime. In some countries, operation of the headlamps varies due to legal requirements and self-imposed obligations. In these countries, the daytime running lamps are automatically switched on when the engine is started.
Notes on driving abroad Converting to symmetrical low beam when driving abroad: switch the headlamps to symmetrical low beam in countries in which traffic drives on the opposite side of the road to the country where the vehicle is registered. This prevents oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Symmetrical lights do not illuminate as large an area of the edge of the road. Have the headlamps converted at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, as close to the border as possible before driving in these countries. Converting to asymmetrical low beam after returning: have the headlamps converted back to asymmetrical low beam at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, as soon as possible after crossing the border when returning.

! Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the
windshield becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the windshield wipers may be activated inadvertently. This could then damage the windshield wiper blades or scratch the windshield. For this reason, you should always switch off the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the Ä or Å position, the appropriate wiping frequency is automatically set according to the intensity of the rain. In the Å position, the rain sensor is more sensitive than in the Ä position, causing the windshield wipers to wipe more frequently. Intermittent wiping is interrupted when you stop the vehicle and open a front door. This prevents a person from being splashed inadvertently when getting into or out of the vehicle. Intermittent wiping continues when all doors are closed and Ryou shift AUTOTRONIC to drive position D
or reverse gear R or
Ryou change the wipe setting on the
combination switch.
i To prevent smearing on the windshield or
noise when wiping, wipe the windshield occasionally with washer fluid.

This will speed up the cooling process and the desired vehicle interior temperature will be reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter can filter out most
particles of dust and completely filters out pollen. A clogged filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this reason, you should always observe the interval for replacing the filter, which is specified in the Service Booklet. As it depends on environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions.
Overview of climate control systems Important safety notes G Warning Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution) may require replacement of the filter before its scheduled replacement interval. A clogged 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 Mercedes-Benz Center. G Warning Follow the recommended settings for heating and cooling given on the following pages. Otherwise, the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.
Dual-zone automatic climate control controls the temperature and the humidity of the vehicle interior and filters out undesirable substances from the air. Dual-zone automatic climate control is only operational when the engine is running. Optimum operation is only achieved when you drive with the side windows and panorama roof with power tilt/sliding panel closed. i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the convenience opening feature (Y page 83).

Window fogging may impair visibility and endanger you and others.
Condensation may drip from the underside of the vehicle when automatic climate control is in cooling mode. This is normal and not a sign that there is a malfunction. i The cooling with air dehumidification function uses refrigerant R134a. This coolant does not contain chlorofluorocarbons, and therefore does not damage the ozone layer.
Activating/deactivating i The evaporator is ventilated when the air-
conditioning system is operated. The blower switches on automatically approximately one hour after the vehicle is locked. The blower runs for 30 minutes on the lowest level. The blower noise is normal and not a sign that there is a malfunction. If you unlock the vehicle during this time, the ventilation will be interrupted. To save battery power, the evaporator will not
