New Trunk Open/Close Trick
For those of you that do not know, here is a trick for your automatic trunk. When you are in your car and your trunk is open, you do not need to get out of your car to close it. All you need to do is use the trunk opening lever on the driver's side door panel to close the trunk. All know you just pull on the trunk lever to open the trunk and now, just push the trunk lever inward until it closes. Note your car needs to be stationary ( no need to be in park ) to close. Enjoy.

Thanks for the info. I had no idea that you could do that

Whenever I drop someone off who needs something out of the trunk, they always close it for me and I'm like "wait, let me close it for ...darn"
Definitely an emphasis on press the button in until it closes and locks. Otherwise, it just pops back open. Probably could be a good prank to play in the parking lot. |

Doesn't work on wagons, unfortunately. Got me excited there for a minute until I tried it...

Are you sure your doing it correctly. The car does or does not need to be off, BUT the transmission needs to be in park. My 2011 E350 and 2012 AMG E63 sedans both does it. I would think the wagons does it as well, please check with your MB dealer. If the wagons really doesn't do it, the wagon owner got screwed as this to me is an awesome function. Good luck.
This morning, I tried it again with the key and it works! Thanks for sharing this information... |
It should work with the key in your pocket and the car off as well, if you have Keyless Go. It works that way for me.

Glad you guys find it useful. |
Yep, same deal with our GL450...
Which is why I was expecting it to behave similarly :)
|
Yep, used mine from day one. Its in the manual.
|
It works for Wagons!!!
I can confirm that the trunk open button on the drivers door can also close it on the 2011 E350 Wagon! Although it must be held until the door latches completely.
|
Also works on the 211 generation (since 2003).

My driver side trunk release lever doesn't seem to be able to be pushed in. Am I doing something wrong?
|
do you have the Premium 2 package?

Oh, I guess you need the P2 and mine is the P1. Too bad the OP didn't specify

You would need the auto closing trunk for any of this to work. If you don't have the close button on the trunk lid, then you don't have the auto-closing trunk option. Option SA code 881-Remote trunk locking

I always try to open the trunk when my wife is back there......haven't gotten her yet......but it's only a matter of time :)
I also like the ninja close swipe feature |
