1999 E320

I have a couple of problems that I need help with. The first one is the Headlights don't come on when I open the doors to get in or out. the second problem is I can't reset the FSS warning that says service now. Ive done the service but can't reset the warning

is this a Euro car...or, where are you located? as far as i know, this isn't a
convenience feature on US cars. you sure the headlights are suppose to
light up....or do you really mean the interior lights ?

if interior lights, you may want to press the overhead button: there is a side-
by-side pair which controls interior lighting. press the DRIVER side button and
that should toggle the open-door-convenience-lighting for cabin.

do you have owner manual? it is detailed within

I have a 97 E320 and when the last door is shut from exiting the car the parkinglights and fog lights light up for a few seconds. This happens durning the day and night. I am not sure there was a setting for this feature just automatic.

Same thing for my 2001 E320 (parking lights, but not foglights), but I didn't realize that this happens during the day - not arguing with anyone, I just have never noticed it.

There is a default, and a change setting, for a lot of things. Like Raymond posted, have a look in your owner's manual. If you don't have one, there are loads of them available on eBay, and you can buy them from MBUSA or your dealer.
