Driver Seat Air Bladder

2019 S560 4Matic. The right air bladder in the drivers seat bolster seems more responsive and has more air going to it than the left one. Same turn speed and aggression in each direction, but the left one just seems slower and doesn’t fill up as much. Does anyone else notice this difference? Is it just the way it’s designed? I thought the system either worked or not. My imagination?

Try sitting in the passenger seat and notice how much more grip they get from 'seat hugs' compared to the drivers seat!

You know whats interesting…i felt the same thing on the left side bladder of the driver side seat (seated and facing forward.) It doesn’t seem as responsive and doesnt inflate as much as the right side bladder when turning I got annoyed and my solution was to turn it off. I can still inflate the side bolsters to be more snug and the massaging function still works….really all I need. I can live without the dynamic bolstering.
