Closing all Windows/ Sunroof

Hi All,

I have a W213 (2018), I have installed the Connect Me app (seems very limited), just wanted to know, can you close all windows with the key remote (I used to have a 530 BMW and it was just on the key, you just pressed the lock button for 5 secs or so and all the windows would close, and you could also open all windows by pressing and holding the unlock button), can this also be done on this car, I've tried and nothing seems to happen. It may be an optional extra which I don't have on the car.

You can but you have to stand really close to the car. Supposed to be some safety feature but very annoying.

Thanks will have a go when I next go for a drive, to see if it works, and how close I need to be. Is there a feature where the windows would automatically close if opened for a long period of time like 30mins when the car is stationary and not on, or when it starts to rain.

I believe so for your market, need to check your owner manual for “rain closing feature” or MBUK: https://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/pass...er.module.html

I really wish it had the ability to open all the windows with the remote properly. The current method is worthless. It is really handy to open them all 2-3 minutes before you get in on a hot day and flush most of the superheated air. I bought a plug in module for my Corvette to do this and it is really handy. Alas, I haven't been able to find a similar module for the MB.

Agreed, it would be quite handy to open the windows 2 minutes before departure

I've done that 10 minutes beforehand. Still hotter that being able to open the windows and dump the heat. I'll admit I don't run auto so the fan speed is reduced.

I don’t run auto either, so I have to remember to set the fan on high before shutting down, so it resumes on high at remote start.

I keep the AC on auto at 71°F. That way the car is cooled quickly (no more than 5 minutes) before the fan switches to low speed.

Me too. I can't imagine /not/ using Auto, unless you just like to fiddle with the fan speed. Whether you get into a hot car and start it then, or want it started remotely, you'll want the fan on max until it's cool, at which point it will slow the fan anyhow.

I understand the desire to cool the car really well, remotely, and opening doors and windows would certainly help with that. But MB would never allow us to do that with the phone, due to the possibility the car could be easily stolen. Same thing with just opening sunroof and windows, really.

I can understand it with the phone, but with the remote it should be allowed. Even 60 seconds can drop the temp a lot. On my Corvette I use it just about every time I drive it in the summer. I'm always within sight of the car and I can also close the windows remotely if someone walks up before I get there.

The reason I don't use auto is the fan runs too high for too long for my taste. I could do what CaptainE does but I know I'd just forget to set it to high before I left.

The fan will run a long time on auto if the vents are not left wide open. The climate control works much better if all vents are fully opened and the only adjustments are temperature and vent flow direction. I discovered this accidentally when a loaner's AC was behaving much better than mine. If a vent is partially closed, the climate control keeps the fan cranked up to achieve the air flow it wants.

We keep them fully open. It's just a matter of preference. I'd rather it take a little longer to come to temp and not hear it blasting.

Might the Climate Style function help give you the fan speed you want while using Auto?:

Climate style function
In automatic mode, you can select the following
climate style settings for the driver's and front
passenger areas:
  • FOCUS: high airflow, slightly cooler setting
  • MEDIUM: medium airflow, standard setting
  • DIFFUSE: low airflow, slightly warmer and draft-free setting
Adjusting the climate mode settings
Multimedia system:
> Vehicle >> Climate Control >> Climate Mode
> Select Driver and/or Passenger.
> Select FOCUS, MEDIUM or DIFFUSE.
[i] To feel the effect of the climate style, the AUTO function must be active

That sounds interesting. I'll give it a try to see how it works.

I think that's only for 3-zone climate control, which I don't have. No idea why it's not supported for the regular 2-zone.

I was planning on getting a new 2020 E63 wagon and the 3 zone wasn't on my list. I came across a 2018 CPO at a good price and bought that instead. It has the 3 zone.

Just looking at the 2019 manual, and it doesn't list it under the 3-Zone climate control. You may be right, but it's worth checking out.

There's no climate menu on the 2-zone.

This is correct.
I run mine in high because 10 minutes of auto does the same thing, ie run on high, for ten minutes.
