Anybody Else....

have a hard time getting the air-conditioning to hit yourself right in the face? It might sound like a funny question, but I have a hard time getting the air to aim the right direction, especially the vent on the left of the steering wheel. It's kinda weird.


Also, is it just me or do the seat coolers not get that cool....?

yeah I have the same problem...unless you turn the fan all the way up. On the seat fan...it seems to work better when I'm actually hot rather than when I just turn it on early.

Funny you should mention this. I noticed the left vent seems to be deflected by the steering wheel.

It is monsoon season here, hot and humid, and I have not now or ever experienced any problems with the A/C it cools quickly and all vents can be adjusted adequately. Also I can feel the difference when the seat ventilation (not cooling) is used and with summer opening the driver’s seat will activate automatically.

yeah, I have the same problem with that left vent

I also thought the ac was not cooling sufficiently, so I took it to the dealer a couple of days ago and they said they found a leak in the system, so they fixed it and it seems better now, but I only had the car back for a day, so I will test it more

the best ac I ever had was in a 2000 CL500, the cls ac doesnt come close to it, I dont know why

also my wifes 2006 ML350 has a much better ac

My AC seems to be working fine but my seats don't get cool. I can hear the fan when I turn on the cooling seats but I don't notice any difference.

Is this normal? How cold are the seats supposed so get?

The seats do not literally cool but rather ventilate. Cabin air is ventilated through the seat cushions therefore as the cabin air drops, so too will air being ventilated. However, when using the heating function they do actually heat and this can definitely be felt.

Same problem. I keep it on auto/max cool. Left has no air..might just be strictly decorative.
