1- Turn on the kettle , errr not kettle click on the Reply Button (yellow colored tab)
2-Scroll down the new page to see Manage Attachments
3- Click on which above to make a new window pop open
4- Here comes the tricky part of a part of many options to pick from .I choose Browse Your Device option to upload images . Once you select which image to upload then click on Upload atop the page
That's it

Have you checked the setting in the Command System? It's adjustable and maybe it's not emabled..

I think I did a couple days ago by setting the side bolsters to maximum, but maybe I did something wrong.

I don’t know if there’s a trick I’m missing but my car will not start moving by itself once I stop at a red light and there is a vehicle in front of me which starts to move forward. In order for my car to move I have to push forward the resume toggle. On the other hand, it seems to stop by itself now even if a car ahead is stationary.

The strange thing is that when I first picked up the car on Friday, I’m pretty certain that it would move by itself if stopped at a red light and a car was in front and started moving. I have to be doing something wrong, right? I don’t see anything on the Driver Assistant package or vehicle settings that specifies anything about this feature. There is a bit of a nudge once the car in front moves but that’s it.

Thanks in in advance for any help. I haven’t talked to the dealer yet because I want to see if I can figure this out on my own.

Is the steering wheel symbol on the dash green or grey when the car fails to resume speed? Also the little car symbol just to the left of the steering wheel symbol should be green (showing a radar lock on an object in front of you) and it should also be blinking green to show it's waiting for the object to start moving again. It will wait approximately 30 seconds before it cancels.

At least on my 2018 AMG there is time limitation on the car moving and the adaptive cruise starting to move automatically, I think it is like a minute or so. After a minute you either need to touch the accelerator pedal or tap the cruise button which I believe should be on your steering wheel, think that got rid of that little nubby stalk for the cruise control.

As far as the side bolsters go I do notice in my AMG I feel them less than in my previous 2012 AMG but it seems like lately I feel them more for whatever reason, maybe it takes a while for the leather seats to loosen up or something. Also to feel them the most you want your side bolster settings at the lowest, if they are high there is no room for anymore air to displace them.

This is really weird. After I washed the car (was not very dirty at all) this afternoon, My car was starting to move once the car in front started moving. It was working. I will have to experiment some more tomorrow. Mike, I will need to check out what you just said above about the car symbol and blinking green. Thanks for all your help.

Mike, I took the car out for some testing of the stop/go system over the past hour. Very interesting. I saw the little car symbol flashing green only once and of course it it started moving by itself when the car in from started to move. All the other times, the car symbol was green but not flashing. All these times my car did not move by itself even though the waiting was less than 30 seconds. Maybe something is wrong with the software. I will likely visit the dealer tomorrow to see what the expert technician has to say. Who knows? I may be doing something wrong, but I doubt it.

You know, I think I remembered it incorrectly. I'm pretty sure the car symbol only starts to blink when it is close to "timing out". Of course when it times out the car will not resume on its own. Maybe it's possible you had some coating or residue on the front sensors or radar receiver and by washing the car it cleaned them up. Who knows. I'm still finding out stuff after one year of ownership!

Mike, I think you had it right the first time. It only works when the little car symbol is flashing green. If not flashing, then all I get is a bit of a nudge and the car does not move. About 2 hours ago, I talked to Mercedes USA rep since I had some trouble registering the mercedesme app. She was of great help. She called the dealer to get some info and the registration is complete. It's amazing what one can do with this app (including starting the car remotely and warming it up on cold days). She also told me that this may fix the stop/go problem I was having. I haven't had a chance to test it yet today. I got the impression from her that the software for the 2019 S-Class may not be exactly the same as the 2018 model. Additionally, she said that Mercedes changed carriers from Verizon to AT&T for WiFi. I will need to try it out (free for a month). In any case, it will be fun learning all the great features of this vehicle over the next several weeks and months.
The next thing I need to do is try to post some photos here that I took yesterday.

well, not in the 2018-2019 S Class at least. Wireless Carplay has been around for awhile, since iOS 9. Not many vehicles support it though.

I just tried to send photos about 10 minutes ago but for some reason they have not shown up. I'll keep trying.

That's a nice color Bean, looks like a great ride. Thanx for the share; seems standard when getting a new MB
What's the story with the 'muscle stimulation'? Sounds kinky

Thanks hype! I have not really had a chance to try out the different energizing options yet. However, they appear to be very nice for long trips or when stuck in traffic.

Looks sharp. How is the Nightview Assist Plus vs your S550?

I have not had a chance to really test it yet since I have been trying to figure out a couple other issues (especially the go feature once car is stopped and car in front starts to move). Thanks for t he compliment.

Thank you, Mr. Streamliner. Just like you, I want the most comfortable ride and thus for me there is no other choice than the 18" wheels.

That's not a new color. I know for sure that the 2018 S-Class also was available in selenite gray metallic.
