Driver's seat for Easy Enter/Exit Not Working
Last night my driver's seat that slides back and forth for the Convenience feature of Easy Exit/Enter stopped working. The steering wheel still goes up and down when you open the door or start the engine. This feature is still set to steering wheel/seat in the MFD so I have no idea why the seat isn't working. Any ideas before I set up an appointment with my local dealer? Thanks in advance.

It was a while ago, but it was covered under warranty is all that I remember.

Same situation here. I don't have warranty though. Any idea on the cost for the fix. My seats still work as normal, just the easy exit/entrance isn't working but the steering wheel still goes up and down.

Had a failed computer with another Mercedes-Benz car in the garage. Try holding the power seat button to make the lower seat cushion to go forward. Don't release the switch after the seat stops, continue holding the button in the same fashion for another 10 seconds. This resets the computer. This isn't supposed to remedy your situation but it might help.
Sometimes, the oddest things can be fixed with a quick resynchronization.

I think my steering easy exit/entry went out awhile ago as well. I know when I stick the key or out...the motor makes the noise as if it suppose to move, but it doesn't. My problem is I couldn't remember if it ever moved or not..lol

I followed your direction and it worked. My driver's seat is back to normal again. I guess it just needed to be reset. Thanks for saving me a trip to the dealer. I know they would've made a big issue out of it and replace something that isn't broken or needed.

Re:
I have a 07 C230 and the only thing that it does for easy enter and exit is move the steering wheel up and down. Is it suppose to move my seat too?
Sorry don't mean to thread jack.

If you do, you should be able to go through the settings and set it up for the seat to move back when you exit...Although, I do remember that when the 2005 models were released, there had been some discoveries that there were certain functions that were taken out (i.e. Radio could not filter through from pre-set station to station, only scan frequencies).

Never hurts to try to have them cover it, but I don't know if they'll charge you if it is not part of the extended.

Do you have multi-contour power seats? (Used to be called convenience package, but not sure if they retained that name after 2004).
If you do, you should be able to go through the settings and set it up for the seat to move back when you exit...Although, I do remember that when the 2005 models were released, there had been some discoveries that there were certain functions that were taken out (i.e. Radio could not filter through from pre-set station to station, only scan frequencies).

What ever that package is called what it also has to do with something with the steering wheel that makes it go in and out and up and down. I think "tele.." something. Im not that great of a speller.

I have seats with memory. Where the controls for the seats are on the door.

Like I said earlier, I'm not sure if they took the function away when the system was changed to MOST in 2005. I know they took some functions away, but the only one I could remember was the one where you couldn't cycle through the pre-set radio stations with the steering wheel buttons (only cycle through the different frequencies).

They list everything that's covered. A lot of the optional extra electrical devices aren't covered so be wary.

You should be able to go into your settings area and set the telescope to move up and seats to move back when you exit your vehicle.

the steering wheel buttons can be toggled to do frequency or preset thru the settings/preferences menu....
still am looking into the seat - slide though.........

about a month later i tried the resync feature that one of the other members on here suggested...... while doing the resync my seat got stuck in the forward most position.... this time i could not move my seat forward or back... only up or down.... replaced drivers door module and drivers side seat module with no resolution to the problem. took the car to the dealer and it ended up being a bad motor. had motor replaced and it ran me about 400 bucks.
sooo... if you want to try to replace the door and seat modules to see if it rectifies your problem.. i have both that are brand new that i would sell... you.
good luck

I just couldn't remember all of them. So, now I'll remember (no pre-set to pre-set function for radio stations and no seat convenience).

Re:
Yea i does suck how they took that out of the 07's. If they did. I will find out soon enough. I have to go to the dealership for my 1K mile check up.
I will ask to see if indeed its suppose to do that and if it isnt if i can have it programmed to do do.
What im thinking what happened is that is caused some problems so they took it out.

Man, things keep popping up that some people have and others don't.
