The new E-Class is equipped with THERMATIC with two climate zones as standard. A four-zone THERMOTRONIC is available as an option. With Digital Vent Control, this system has an innovation: for extra climatic comfort, the front air vents adjust automatically.
Both of these air conditioning systems operate very intelligently: one example is the onboard window misting sensor. It determines the temperature of the windscreen and the humidity in the interior. It also assesses the humidity level of the intake air.

Digital Vent Control is available for the driver and front passenger for the automatic air vents, e.g. "Head", "Body" or "Evenly distributed". Your Mercedes-Benz redirects the airflow accordingly. You can also save individual climate settings in the user profiles. You can still adjust the air vents manually. The stepper motor automatically switches to free-wheel when you make an adjustment by hand.
