There is a option deep inside the settings that will wipe out all stuff like a factory reformat this will also erase your profiles.

"Delete all user data" under the system settings. You'll have to manually clear Homelink, something I think a lot of people forget. If you don't clear Homelink, it's like giving away a remote to your garage.

Also delete your vehicle from Mercedes Me app. This will make it easier for the new owner to add it to their account without having the dealer do it.

Only until the new owner programs it to their garage.

For those who use smart home integration and never use homelink, this probably won't be an issue as they connect their phone to the car. If you can opt out of homelink when ordering (if it is still a standalone option) that might be ideal too because you save a few bucks (it is not a lot but hey it is still money).
