ACTIVE FRONT SEAT QUESTION

I have the P2 with active front seat package. I noticed when I set the bolster hug the setting didn't seem to remain on after a day or two and I had to turn it back on. I saw in the manual you should set the memory seat after turning them on. I did that. It worked for a week. Now it seems to be turning off again....Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I haven't had that issue of the bolster settings change. I was wondering if your cornering lights work? Also the lights do not swivel with the steering wheel like it did on my 2012 E class.

I noticed the same with my E300. I didn't pay attention when I was driving the previous generation E400 though.

First of all I discovered that to maintain the bolster setting it has to be set in with the memory button for seat position. It has worked find since I reset memory.
The lights in the upgraded lighting package do not seem to swivel like previous generations. Has something to do with the adaptive lighting setting. If you switch off adaptive high beam I think they might work then. Check out pages 110-116 in the printed E300 manual. Explains it though a bit confusing.

I checked and changed various vehicle settings including the adaptive high beam setting. Doesn't seem to work. I'll email the SA and ask her about this feature.

soon to be E300
I noticed the same issue but went though and set the bolster on all the memory settings and it seems to work fine now. I'm curious if the key syncs to the memory seat number or anything.

Yes the dynamic seat option is saved under the seat memory along with AC settings. I discovered this the other day when my AC would turn off the auto setting when I pressed 2 on seat memory.
