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