W213 E CLASS
Perfume with Air Balance

I don't think that my Air Balance is working properly. Even on high I cant smell the fragrance. When it is on high can you really smell it in your car? Is it strong?

Just wondering if it is my nose or my car.

Thanks ahead of time!

Every one of the cars I've had with this complaint, 222/213, the system is working perfectly, but the customer complains about it anyway. I believe, it's not enough for some people that like heavy cologne and such. It's not supposed to be an overpowering fragrance, and it can be not used in certain conditions, but for me if it's turned off and I turn it on, I notice it every time.

ok I am going to drive with it off and then see if I notice a difference. Its one of those things that I dont want to ask the service department because I work here and dont want to be "one of those customers" who complain about stuff that I should not be! haha

Thanks for the advice.

You should be able to notice it on the highest setting. I've noticed that it sometimes turns itself off, if you can't smell it go back in and make sure it's still on.

Are you a smoker?
Smoker sense of smell is one of the first things to go.

I thought about this option for a short time but I was worried my wife would shoot me when I arrived home smelling of a perfume she doesn't wear...��

Personally I would have opted out. On the 43 its standard. It eats half of the glove box which makes it vitually useless.

I have never turned it on and haven't even put the sample vial in. No intention of doing so either. I find this completely useless.

Correct me if Im wrong but I think this is an Asian market driven option.

Did not want it on my GLC. I wanted the glove box space.
