Problem With Various Features

I have a 2019 E450 wagon, USA version. Occurring in the past few months, the cornering lights, eco stop/start, and the "welcome" program in the ambient light menu have stopped working. Today the seat belt "not in use" chime stopped working. None of these features is a great loss. However, I'm concerned that eventually everything will stop working. Does anyone have any ideas? FWIW I installed a new battery yesterday and fully charged it.

Did you have these problems before installation of the new battery?

As these problems started after changing the battery, I suggest you drive and then see if they self correct.

Others on this forum have posted that they changed their own battery, some older than yours, with no ill effects.

You should probably try registering the Battery, if you don't have the right scanner maybe a independent shop as I believe the dealer charges around $200.00 to do so.

Well, my understanding was that the "yes" answer means the OP did have these problems before the battery was changed. "Registering" the battery or coding battery change with diagnostic tools would not make a difference for the issues the OP describes.

Diesel Benz is correct; these problems existed before the new battery. One of the reasons I replaced the battery is that many people said their problem with stop/start were cured by a new battery. Not so in my case. I'm wondering if it could be a com bus fault. It is also throwing 3 codes: U3FFFFF (current), B01401A 9 stored) and U1723BC (stored). I don't know what these codes mean.

There is also a large capacitor that acts as a secondary battery.
It is located under the front passenger foot well.
IIRC it works with the start/stop function.

Thank you. Do you know if there would be a dash message if this battery is bad?

You may or may not get a warning light depending on whether it is malfunctioning or simply not charged enough.
Here is the only topic I found that discusses the capacitor.

Thank you. The post indicates that the capacitors have a 4 year life, and my car is a 2019, so, maybe.
