C300 Estate (W205) 2019/2020 - Easy Entry/Exit Feature - "Rearmost position"
This is my 1st post, so if I'm in the wrong section please forgive me. I too have posted with at an AU forum to get further feedbacks. I need a larger audience of Mercedes owners of current vehicles 2019/2020 experience with the said "Easy Entry/Exit". My internet search returned a lot of discussions but they all seems to do with faults vs MB omission in the manual.
(I note that some older models only steering wheels moves up only, where some other older models, the said features moves both the seat and the steering wheels.)
6 months ago, my wife took delivery of C300 (W205) Estate fully optioned. The said feature, "Easy Entry/Exit" had raised some questions, which the dealers/service all mystified, and waiting for MB to reply (which has been over a week now).
According to my manual that came with the vehicle (AU ENG), p114 state:
"The steering wheel will move upwards only if it is not already as high as it will go. The driver's seat will move backwards if it is not already in the rearmost position."
Driver seat will do as per stated when seat is set at certain "zone" distant from the steering wheel. At certain zone, the seat set would not move rearmost position. In other words, "rearmost position" is defined by certain set zone designed by MB engineers, but omitted to clarify in the manual (I think).
For example
1st Zone - driver seat set as close as steering wheel and the latter is set to the middle height. Result: seat will move to the middle of the driver cabin (ie between A/B pillars) and the steering wheel would move upwards.
2nd Zone - drive seat set AT the middle (ie between A/B pillars), as per above position when the seat moved back, and the steering wheel is set per above. Result: Steering wheel would move up BUT the seat would NOT move - stayed put.
3rd Zone - drive seat set beyond the middle towards the back, the steering wheel set as per above too. Result: Steering wheel would move up AND the seat would move backwards in the rearmost position.
It matters not whether those 3 zone settings were locked into the seat memories 1,2 and 3.
Q: Is the "rearmost position" therefore defined by the above said 3 Zones that I have discovered, being that Zone 2 is defined by MB engineers that the seat does not required to be "move" any more "rearmost position"?
Like owners to test it out and any gurus out there to confirm what I have discovered to be the case that MB had purposely designed it but omitted to clarify the feature.
