Does my car actually have air-conditioning?

Hey everyone, long time lurker first time poster! Just had a question about if my car actually has air-conditioning installed. It's a 2000 C200 CDI. It does have the EC button on the dash, and if I were to place both dials in the "coldest" position, should cool air flow on what is a relatively warm day?

EC = Economy, this just runs climate control without the compressor input for better fuel economy.... When I first got my W202 I thought this was the AC button and was really worried that my AC was faulty!!!!
