Electric Roller Sunblinds

Heya,

New to me 2013 GL450.
Trying to figure out the rear side window sun shades.

I can pull them manually to block the sun, but the option is listed as:
297-Electric Roller Sun Blinds in rear door LH and RH

Anyone know if there is a button somewhere or how these work?

Thanks

Sure - to get it to work, get the correct Mercedes spec sheet, and not one pulled off a obscure "VIN decoder" website : Mercedes North America spec sheet will say:

297 Manual 2nd Row Sunshades

Fabbrisd1 is correct. I used the Russian version of the VIN decoder.

The first decoder link found here: http://www.mercedesmedic.com/decode/

Didn't know there was an American version.

Thanks for the real spec, the mystery is solved.
