Dumb question - Adjusting temp while A/C is on

Hi all,

I pretty much leave the A/C on at all times due to the infamous stinky sock smell I get if it's off. I just adjust the temperature as needed on the dial while the A/C is on. I don't even adjust it much, it's usually between 68-72 degrees.

My husband swears to me that adjusting the temperature while the A/C button is on "does nothing," but I think it does, even if just a little bit. I have scoured the instruction manual and see nothing from Mercedes to settle this dispute. Anyone?

Your husband it is mistaken. You can and should adjust the temp any time.

You can tell your husband that he is incorrect. How would he explain of when your air is running you crank the temp all the way down and the fan speed increases and it GETS COOLDER in the cabin! What is he thinking?

As far as the "old sock" smell, I will, on occasion, shoot a little Lysol down the air intake in front of the Windshield on my previous vehicles and it would stop what ever was growing in there.

Enjoy!
