Our Favorite Features from Mercedes-Benz to Help Beat the Heat
The dog days of summer are here, but Mercedes-Benz makes it easy to stay cool with modern conveniences. Mercedes-Benz goes beyond just really cold air conditioning—it has created models that intelligently manage the sweltering heat of the season. Here are some of our favorite standard and available features that make Mercedes-Benz models an oasis all summer long.*
Comprehensive Controls
Mercedes-Benz passengers can enjoy multi-zone automatic climate control systems with intuitive air temperature sensors and Air Balance cabin-air purification system available with both an active carbon filter and ionizer. The multi-zone systems offer separate temperature and airflow settings for the driver and passengers. The temperature sensors help the system to know when the desired cabin temperature has been reached and automatically reduce air flow to maintain that temperature instead of continuing to blast cold air.
One-Touch Panoramic Power Moonroof
There's nothing more refreshing on a hot day than opening all the windows and the moonroof and feeling the breeze blow through your hair. Mercedes-Benz models really make it a breeze with one-touch panoramic power moonroofs. With the single press of a button, the huge moonroof opens and you can breathe again.
Cabriolet
If the expansive panoramic moonroof is not enough for you, how about taking off the roof entirely? In some trims of Mercedes-Benz models, like the C-, E-, and S-Classes, as well as the SL and SLC Roadsters, drivers can enjoy a breezy and exhilarating ride with the top down.
Ventilated Seats
Models equipped with the available perforated leather-trimmed seats can provide quick personal ventilation for passengers in the front and rear seats. The perforations in the leather wick air away from the occupants, quickly cooling to a comfortable temperature.
Integrated Sunshades
Of course, the sun can bake a car like an oven, so Mercedes-Benz offers integrated roll-up window shades in some models, like the E- and S-Class Sedans. The shades are conveniently built into the door frame and easily slide up to shade passengers in the rear. When not in use, the shades simply slide down and disappear into the door.
Cool Storage
In the S-Class Sedan, not only can passengers stay cool, but two cool features help keep food and beverages chilled, too. The insulated refrigerator box in the rear seat center console can hold as much as four full-sized beverage bottles, and the cupholders can either be electronically heated or cooled.
Energizing Comfort Control
The S-Class Sedan offers a truly remarkable comfort experience. Pre-programmed sequences produce a coordinated orchestra of climate control, ambient lighting, aromatic fragrances, and seat massage. This feature offers 64 different 10-minute sequences with many designed to cool and refresh.
Pre-Conditioned Cabins
Thanks to the latest in connectivity, Mercedes-Benz drivers can air condition the cabin before they even open the car door. Simply download the Mercedes me app on a compatible smartphone and sync the app to your vehicle. The app can be used for many remote control functions like locking and unlocking doors or starting the engine. Set the car's climate control to the desired setting when you turn off the car, and the next time you start the car remotely, the air conditioning will come on, filling the cabin with cool air so the inside is a comfortable temperature on a hot day.
