rear hatch toe kick opening feature
Our 2023 GlC should have the toe kick opening feature but it does not seem to work. I have one on my E class so I know the technique. I wonder if this is one of those ran out of chip features that left it omitted ?. We do have the factory installed hitch if this makes any difference

The earliest built GLCs, say to around serial number 18000 or 20000, are missing the kick to open. You rwindow sticker will have code D9B credit for missing standard p17/871/HANDS FREE ACCESS and $100 off. If you don't have that, you have the kick to open trunk. If you have the trailer hitch, it may be in a slightly different spot.

Thank you. I do not see any credit on my window sticker. I'll play around with this feature and see if I can get it to work

I just tried it and with a bit of back & fourth it worked. I must be doing something a bit wrong as is not that repeatable

Glad it’s not just me! That’s pretty much my experience as well.
So, it doesn’t work when you want it to but when you don’t want it to work, it reminds you that you have the feature. I can’t say I’m surprised, many of my features work on their own schedule. Ugh.

If I remember right, you don’t have the hitch on your 2023, correct? I was thinking maybe it was an issue related to the hitch but it sounds like that isn’t the case.

Many are scrambling to buy the MY24 as it represents the last of the "buttoned" generation!

GLC 300e AMG-Line x254
My X3 is a diesel. I wanted a petrol Hybrid with a deecent range in full electric (over 100 km) ==> GLC 300e.
As you say, the X3 looks "old" (it's only 3 years old)
