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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

P2 is with keyless go which is what I have. Another forum member said his didn't have keyless go so I assume it's P1 and it works with the key in the ignition, have you tried that? Sorry if it doesn't work with P1 since my is with P2. Good luck.

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

But it is a cool feature to have IMO.
