GL 450 2014
Couple of questions, probably stupid

Hello all,
I Just bought a GL450 2014 CPO. Polar White, Lighting, Parktronic, Appearance etc packages 3yrs/unlimited miles maintenance, life time oil change etc. 7100 miles on it for 67k.
I have a couple questions. I know I should have asked these questions to the dealer but I was too excited :P
1. How to unfold the second row seats (not the 3rd row)? It has a button, when pushed, will fold the seats. Do I have to manually unfold them or is there another button, since the same button would not unfold them.


2. Is Harman kardon standard?

1. Yes, you must manually unfold.

2. Harmon Kardon is one of the two upgraded options available. It's the mid level and most common system.

Lol, I went nuts trying to find a button. It didn't make any sense to fold it at the push of a button and then manually unfold it.

You're right, between that and the issue the headrest creates for small kids/car seats (until you remove the pin), many of us on this forum have opted not to get it. You'll probably want to read the thread about removing the pin so that the headrest can swivel.
