The unusual odors inside the E-Class cabin are often caused by moisture buildup and mold growth within the air conditioning system and carpets, especially during Pakistan’s hot and humid months. The AC evaporator can accumulate moisture, creating a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, which emit musty smells. Additionally, damp floor mats o r carpets can trap moisture and contribute to the odor. To resolve this, regular cleaning of the AC system using disinfectant sprays o r professional ozone treatments is recommended. Using moisture-absorbing products inside the cabin and ensuring proper ventilation can also help prevent odors. Regularly checking for water leaks from sunroofs o r door seals is important to avoid dampness.
