Massage Seats

Does anybody know if you can lengthen the time the massage function stays on. They shut of in about 15 minutes. I'm hoping there is an adjustment. Thanks, Frank

Is the timer the same for the passenger's seat and driver's seat? I can understand why the driver's seat might be limited. They don't want you getting too relaxed.

They are separate but each one only stays on for 15 to 20 minutes. There is no adjustable timer. I think I got the answer. I found a video on YouTube for the S class and it states that the massage only stays on for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the type of massage. I'm sure it's the same on our GLE's. I set the favorite button for the massage and I can reset it without being distracted.

Great! Also, maybe it's to insure the massaging mechanism doesn't overheat. MB had problems with heated seat fires years back.

I think this is the reason.

The massage chair I have in my house also will only run a maximum of 15 minutes,then it has to be restarted.
