Overview of climate control systems

Notes on climate control
An interior air filter in combination with the pre‐
filter in the engine compartment must always be
used so that the air conditioning system, pollu‐
tion level monitoring and the air filtration work
correctly. Use filters recommended and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. Always have main‐
tenance work carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
