wise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into
the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.

If you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen on the multimedia
system display; see Digital Operator's Man-
ual. You will see the current settings of the
various climate control functions.
DYNAMIC SELECT button (except
Mercedes-AMG vehicles)
You can choose between various drive pro-
grams with the DYNAMIC SELECT button
(Y page 132).
If you have selected drive program E:
R
when heating, the electrical heater booster
is deactivated and in the warming-up phase
heat output is reduced
R
the rear window defroster running time is
reduced
Depending on the configuration, climate set-
tings may also be influenced in the drive pro-
gram I.
If you have selected drive program C or S, cli-
mate settings are not influenced.
ECO start/stop function
During automatic engine switch-off, the cli-
mate control system only operates at a
reduced capacity. If you require the full cli-
mate control output, you can switch off the
ECO start/stop function by pressing the ECO
button (Y page 130).
