Hatch warning?
While loading some groceries I had the hatch come down and hit me in the head. Apparentally, I had inadvertently swung my foot under the rear of the car. Okay,
fine, the hatch responded like its supposed to. But, no audible alert like my
out-going GLK350. It made a ding noise when the hatch was in motion. Big
oversight, I think. 🤔

I don't think there's a warning when closing the trunk/gate with the foot. I don't recall ever hearing something on my car or any of the loaners. It's a somewhat common issue on SUVs and wagons as one has to reach in further to load and unload and may swing their foot inadvertently in a matter that triggers the function. It's mentioned in the owner's manual. Keep the key fob away from the rear of the vehicle if you are loading/unloading. Then it won't do this.

Not the function itself, but as said if you keep the key fob away from the rear of the vehicle, or also you can turn off the key fob by pressing lock twice, then it won't activate while you are shuffling around the back of the vehicle.

This is good advice, that feature is indeed disabled if there is no key present, the buttons on the trunk/lift gate other than the lock still works though.
