Puddle mirror lights mercedes emblem

Does anyone know how to turn on the little light on the exterior mirrors that light up on the ground when you unlock the car? The Mercedes emblem shows up on the ground ya know. It was working fine and then my car went in the shop for 2 weeks 🙄. Then it came back and that light no longer works. Is there a way to do it from my end?

Is there a switch in the overhead console that prevents the interior lights from turning on? I would check that as it may be related.

As I recall, it's controlled in the vehicle configuration settings in the infotainment display. Navigate around and you should find it.

Yeah I found one thing there that seemed to be it, and it even demonstrated turning it on with a pic and interactive diagram but it still didn’t come on. This thing has more issues than any new car I’ve ever had. So weird! Guess they don’t have all the bugs worked out yet. Mines a 2020 G550 FYI. Wonder if anyone else
has as many issues as I have. It’s been in the shop twice with mysterious computer issues and has already had the fuel injectors replaced with only 2000 miles on the odometer. Over it already.

My 2020 G550 has been flawless since July when we got it, 2k miles since. No squeaks/rattles, error messages, or anything other than pure bliss.

You’re so lucky! I absolutely love the car just wish it didn’t have so many issues. Par for the 2020 course I guess. Haha . :/

Since the dealer messed it up, I'd tell the dealer to fix it.
You're far more tolerant than I. I've been problem free for 15 months/7K miles, but if this changes, it'll be parked in someone else's garage. There's nothing about the G or MBUSA that makes it worth being a maintenance headache.
