Has Anybody gotten this to work consistently? Since I have had the car I have gotten it to work less then five times. What is the trick?

Works all the time for me. Make sure you have the key on you, kicks straight under the middle of the bumper like you're trying to do damage, but stop short of hitting the car.

Don't stand too close to it ...
Dead center and punt the kitty underneath the bumper!

Or the sensor could be faulty....

Please explain this to me. My father has a 14' E550 and we did not know about this feature. This is available for his car??

The feature (as you may surmise) allows you to open the trunk when you are in proximity by swiping your foot underneath the bumper (like Ford shows on its Escape commercial). It was available for the 2014 E550 but I think you had to get the keyless go package.

Works fine for me every time, wave your foot under the bumper, not too closely

I usually swipe my leg, not the kick

why in the hell would MB put this feature on the E and S and not in the CLS? I feel cheated lol

So it came with the keyless go package. So I took everyone's suggestions and on the first try this morning bam. It worked! I guess I was standing too close to the back of the car so close I would touch the bottom of the bumper. Thanks to all.

Car looks nice, terp, I'll keep an eye out for it since we're in the same area.

Exceptions: For safety and theft prevention if the engine is running, kick/swipe does not work, likewise the latch under the lip of the trunk lid will not open the trunk. Only the switch inside the driver's door will open it.

Mine work pretty well, I like it

Used it several times in the last three days and no problem.

As long as the key is on me, I have no problems most of the time. I like the fact that you can close the trunk using the same kicking motion. Makes sense when you're unloading the trunk and your arms are full. I also like the button (in the trunk lid) that closes the trunk and locks the car doors.

Now that I own the car I have to say that the biggest change in body shape over the years is not the creases down the side but the overall wedge shape. You can really see it in the side view picture of you car. Your car looks good in white.

Your car with Sport Package looks very sharp in Polar white !

Munich77

Nice looking car what percentage tint is that.

ss3964spd

They do look good in white.

Pretty sure in Va you can only tint the front windows at 35%. Where did you have yours done, terp? Are you pleased with the job? I need to have mine done also.
