Question What is that EC button?

I haven't been able to get hold of an owners manual for my W140.
Can anyone tell me what the EC button does on the Dual Climate control center panel. Red light comes on when pressed?

I believe its for the Charcoal filter to be active, eliminates odors.

Thanks. I'll be sure to test out that eliminate odors theory.

Whatever there's gas in...
In my old S600, when I turned EC off the air got colder.

Try the dealer. Price is reasonable ~$30

EC is ECONOMY, which only runs the fan and not the compressor.
