Question about keyless entry
I just got my first Mercedes C 300.
The dealer explained how, with the key in my pocket, as long as I touch a certain spot on the door, the door will unlock. This rarely happens.
Also, he explained there was a spot where I can put my foot under the rear bumper, when with key in pocket, will open the trunk. I have never been able to do this.
So could my fob need a new battery? It's a relatively new car. Or are these features things I misunderstood or were falsely told to me?

On your door handle you should see a small rectangular indent. touch that spot to lock, grab the inside of the handle in the same area to unlock. Note that if you press the lock button twice on your fob, this deactivates the keyless entry. For the kick to open trunk, yeah you have to keep swinging your foot back and forth until you find the sweet spot.

C300 Cabriolet
MBWorld Fanatic: I have a 2019 C300 Cabriolet - Base model. Would you expect it to have the foot under rear bumper open option? It does work as described in this post to unlock driver/passenger doors with keyless entry. If it has a sensor in the rear bumper, I can’t seem to find it.
