Door handles present at random

Even when the car is locked, and the key is in a kitchen drawer. This has happened on several occasions when I move around the garage. They present for a few minutes, then retract. I tried both 1 lock press on the remote, and double click as well.
Is there a reset/calibration procedure?

Do not know why your handles present themselves at random times but it has been my experience that you cannot open the doors without a key close by the vehicle even with the handles in the out position.

Mine present if you move the key in any way. In fact, my wife (who goes to the gym at 4:45 each morning) jiggles my key on the key hanger in the kitchen to get them to present so that the light illuminates the garage enough for her to get in her car without turning on the garage light. When I wash the cars, the handles present if you touch them at all. If you have the key with you in the garage, that is why they present. If not, I cannot explain it.

Your key fob battery must be new, give it time and it will lose it range or try moving the fob farther away. First few weeks my EQS door handles extended every time someone open the garage entrance door. I keep all my spare key fobs in an empty metal cookies box in kitchen draw. Just last month we gave our daughter my wife 2017 E400 and the spare fob which never been used since new still work. I think the fob continuous to communicate with the car and if it doesn't receive a signal from the car it goes to sleep and it doesn't use any power.
