Hood Open Alarm
Driving down the highway this morning the Hood Open Alarm starting chiming with a visual on the dash. The hood was secured and closed. I opened the hood and gave it a good close, but after 45MPH the alarm resumes. I looked around but was unable to locate the hood switch causing the alarm. Anyone know where it is on the 2017 E300?
I've made a service appointment for tomorrow just in case...

Had exact same this morning after filling up windscreen washer reservoir last night. Looked and felt closed but need to give it a solid push in right hand side just back from light unit. Heard it click and no more warning. My 212 was a bit picky over how you closed it too, must be A merc thing.

Yes, and I have also experienced it where it takes some time before it gives you the warning.
Also, did anyone else notice that the hood can no longer be lifted 90 degrees?

Interesting about the lack of 90 degree lift, I'll have to look into that more...
