Purpose and function of the component

The described storage tray with an ashtray and air vent is mounted in the rear part of the centre console, in the rear passenger area. It is responsible for:

• providing a lockable storage compartment with an ashtray function in the rear of the cabin,
• directing airflow from the air conditioning system to the rear seats,
• maintaining a consistent, factory-fitted centre tunnel assembly.

Thanks to this, passengers receive convenient access to the air vent and a practical storage compartment, while the interior remains tidy and in line with the factory design.

Construction, colour scheme, and fitment

The component is finished in black, which facilitates integration with most interior configurations used in Mercedes C238 family models. The neutral colour scheme allows for visual consistency with the other centre console panels and upholstery.

The module combines the storage/ashtray section and the air vent grille in one housing, which simplifies installation and maintenance. The design intended for the rear of the vehicle enables proper airflow and stable mounting in the centre tunnel, without the need for modifications.

Condition, origin, and benefits of use

The product comes from the Mercedes range, which means it maintains factory geometry, mounting points, and compatibility with original console components. As a used part, it is a good choice for accident repairs, replacing a damaged air vent module, or restoring the completeness of the interior after disassembly.

Using an original component allows you to:

• maintain a consistent cabin appearance without differences in shade or plastic texture,
• preserve proper airflow to the rear of the vehicle,
• avoid fitment issues typical of aftermarket parts with universal designs.

Comfort of using the rear console section

The storage tray with an ashtray and air vent in the rear of the centre console directly affects the comfort of rear passengers. Access to an adjustable air vent improves the perceived effectiveness of the air conditioning, and the lockable storage compartment helps keep the cabin tidy. This is particularly important in premium-class cars, where an orderly, functional, and ergonomic interior is expected.
