What are these missing buttons for?
I have a fully loaded GLS 580 including Executive Rear Seat PLUS and Heated 3rd Row Seats. Yet there are still 2 missing buttons on both 3rd row seats. Anyone know what these are for? Maybe something region specific?

Awaiting a 2021 GLS580
Darlop, I think we share a similar mindset and it irks me that Mercedes uses switches with blanks. My guess is they use the same switch for the second row and third row for manufacturing/assembly efficiency even though no current model GLS has ventilated seats in the third row (not even Maybach).
I was actually considering getting the rear executive package in the rear for the sole purpose of avoiding the second row blank button for the ventilated seats. But I didn’t want to have the center console extend into the second row, although it is useful with the cup holders.

In fact if you get the 7 seat config WITHOUT the executive package you DO get extra cup holders in the center console.
