Tried tunnel mode for my 1999 c43 and no luck

couldnt find much on the forums regarding tunnel mode for our c43's. is this available only for non US models? and certain years?

to those who dont know tunnel mode...apparently you can hold down the recirculation button to close all the windows when going into a tunnel and hit it again for them to re open where you last left off.

Think it's just for the newer models. My 215 does it, my mom's 203 does it, etc.

Haven't heard of that option either. The only "tunnel" option I have is the air recycling button on the climate control (last touch on the top right)

MB’s of all kinds.
A w202 does not have tunnel mode. At least none I have ever owned or seen. As stated before it is a newer feature.

If you press the key remote opening button for a couple of seconds, the doors unlock and all the windows and sunroof will fully open. I havn't tried doing the long touch close button, but that could be difficult if the remote key is in it's ignition holder. Has anyone tried using the close/open door switch on the dash front??

Sure, also if pressing the key remote closing button for about "4" seconds, the doors/windows/sunroof/trunk will fully close......

Zayed, that's nice to know, but if you are driving with everything open, is there a way to close ALL the windows, sun-roof etc. with a one touch way?

Thanks, that means there is no way to close all the windows and sun-roof with one button, so back to individual button closing
