Condensation may drip out from under-
neath the vehicle. This is normal and
not an indication of a malfunction.

tioning (cooling) function of the climate

The air conditioning uses the
refrigerant R134a. This refrigerant is free
of CFC's which are harmful to the ozone
layer.
!
If the air conditioning cannot be turned
on again, this indicates that the air
conditioning is losing refrigerant. The
compressor has turned itself off.
Have the air conditioning checked at
the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.

Ventilated storage compartment

The front center console storage compart-
ment has its own air vent that allows for
cooling ventilation when the automatic
climate control system is activated.
i
You should keep this air vent closed
when outside temperatures are low.
