Car Wash Mode?

Does the 2024 E350 have car wash mode? I bring my car to a local brushless car wash where I have a monthly pass, and once in a great while, the car goes through the car wash and the handles go in, and they have a difficult time opening them back up and need to stop the machine so the car stops for them to open it. Sometimes, they have someone sit in the car as it goes through.

My question is, does this car have a car wash mode? I can't find it. Also, is it better to keep the key in my pocket or will the car go in to park god forbid?

Thanks!

Thanks. I looked through the forum and couldn't see anything if you keep the key out and in your pocket, what would happen. I saw the thread earlier a week ago about the 2025 models, but again...nothing in there. All it has is people who don't go to car washes and who hand wash their car.

If you filter out those messages, you can see others say the Carwash Mode was D/C for the latest models. As far as the key is concerned, I leave it inside the car, leave my phone, and watch at least 20 feet away, and it takes care of the doors opening and closing every 2 minutes. I avoid contact carwash places if possible.
