Overview of climate control systems
Notes on climate control
An interior filter in combination with the prefilter
in the engine compartment must always be used
so that the air conditioning system, pollution level
monitoring and the air filtration work correctly.
Use filters recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Always have maintenance work
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
