Cargo area light not turning on

Hi,
It has been 1 week since I purchased GLC300W.


The lighting at the cargo space, as shown the below picture,
I cannot turn it on. Even it seems there is no switch to turn on and off.
How can I turn on the light? or is this malfunction?

Do you have the dome lights set to turn on with the doors in the overhead control panel?

This is not my car. Just copy from a website to show where the cargo light is located.

IF you look at my picture, you will see the top left button depressed. When it's depressed, some lights don't come on with doors. Push it again and they will come on

You are right. Now I can control the cargo light as you indicated.

Hi in Oz we are not given a number of options. No SOS buttons or garage opening options.
Not sure if UK or Ireland have these features.
We cannot use Connect Me features here, it appears.

The cargo light in my '14 ML350 did not come on just now when I opened the hatch. With the hatch open, I opened the driver side door and the cargo light came on. I looked in the manual but found no mention of the cargo light itself. So searching the forum I found this thread. Is there a switch on the cargo light light? Some previous vehicles I've owned had a switch on the light to give on the spot control. The missus had to take the car to work so I din't have a chance to check. Thanks.
