Mercedes-Benz SL 320 Operator's Manual page 23

Notes:
The temperature selected with the
temperature selector is reached as
quickly as possible.
The temperature selector should be left
at the desired temperature setting.
With the center air outlet (8) open and
the system in heating mode, switch
outlet to warm air by pressing button 9
(red indicator lamp lights up), or to
non-heated/cooled air by pressing
button 10 (blue indicator lamp lights
up).
The system will not heat or cool any
quicker by setting a higher or lower
temperature.
The automatic climate control only
operates with the engine running.
Higher engine rpm results in higher
coolant compressor rpm, thereby
increasing cooling capacity.
The automatic climate control removes
considerable moisture from the air
during operation in the cooling mode.
It is normal for water to drip on the
ground through ducts in the underbody.
Note:
Keep the air intake grille in front of
windshield free of snow and debris.
Dust Filter
Dust particles (down to a certain size)
and pollen are filtered out before
outside air enters the passenger
compartment through the air
distribution system.
Important!
This vehicle is equipped with an air
conditioner system that uses HFC-134a
(ozone-friendly hydro-fluorocarbon) as
a refrigerant.
Repairs should always be performed
by a qualified technician, and
refrigerant should be collected in a
recovery system for recycling.
