Vehicle Application and Function

The presented element is designed for installation in the rear section of the center console, in the area accessible to rear seat passengers. It combines in one housing:

• a storage compartment with an ashtray function,

• a housing fitted to the center console lines.

This design helps maintain thermal comfort in the rear of the vehicle and organizes the space while preserving the aesthetics characteristic of the Mercedes brand.

Construction and Integration with the Center Console

The element belongs to the Center and Roof Consoles group, making it structurally compatible with the factory center tunnel layout. The design includes:

• precise fitting with other console panels,
• integrated air vents directed towards rear passengers,
• a built-in storage/ashtray module with easy access.

This solution facilitates installation and minimizes the risk of improper seating of the element in the center tunnel, which is important for both ergonomics and the operation of the ventilation system.

Benefits of Using an Original Component

Using an original component dedicated to Mercedes-Benz allows you to maintain the stylistic and functional consistency of the interior. Key advantages include:

• factory fit to the center console structure,
• correct airflow to the rear of the cabin,
• preservation of the manufacturer's intended ergonomics for operating the storage compartment and ashtray,
• aesthetic finish consistent with the C238 model line.

A used element is a good choice for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged module, or restoring interior completeness after previous modifications.

Service Application and Installation

The rear center console storage compartment with ashtray and vent is suitable for both routine repairs and comprehensive interior restoration. It can be used, among other situations, when:

• the original element has suffered mechanical damage,
• a complete rear ventilation module is missing,
• it is necessary to restore the full functionality of the rear part of the console.

Thanks to the preservation of factory geometry and mounting points, installation proceeds in an organized manner, without the need for structural modifications to the center tunnel.
