I think you mean "tunnel mode". This feature was standard on all E-classes starting in 2001, it wasn't available yet on your 1999. You hold down the air recirculation button(not the charcoal air filter button), and the windows and sunroof close, not open. On your car however, if you want to close or open the windows and sunroof, stick your key in the drivers door lock and hold it to the left for the windows/sunroof to open, and hold it to the right for the windows/sunroof to close...

You can also do it remotely using the RF on the key.
