Anyone have Ionization enabled on their GLE? I work at a dealership and we recently got a 2016 GLE 350D just like the one I have. Going through the menu options I stumble across this feature. Never heard of it.
Google searches don't tell me much, mostly about the Mercedes air balance climate control, which this model does not have ( No place to put the scent bottle )

Just curious if anyone on the board has this on theirs and what it does over those vehicle without it.

We have it activated. Don't know if it makes a difference ir if it needs servicing... it's not the air freshener system like the S Class.

I have this on my 16 GLE400. I think I have mine turned on.

• Is used to purify the air in the vehicle interior and attain an improved interior climate.
• Ionization can only be operated when the automatic climate control is switched on. The side air vent on the driver side must be open.

Another curious 2016 feature. I haven't seen this in COMAND on my 2017. Is ionization standard on all ML-badged W166?

it's on my COMAND screen. Perhaps you need it as an option for it to show up. Shows up under vehicle settings

It looks like additional sale option.

I have same menu item in my vehicle as topic starter has with his screenshot.
