Headlight - Auto-Leveling on Startup
Do your HID headlights auto-level (move up and down quickly) when they are first turned on?
I remember my 2002 S500 and 2003 S500 doing this, but my S600 and S65 did not do this.
If yours do or do not, please post and state the model year. Thanks!

Alright well I was NOT able to find a setting that auto-levels the lights, I even tried switching the coding in the CGW from ABC to AIRmatic with no change.
This experiment did yield some benefits thought...
I found out that the automatic switchover to recirculated air when pollutants are detected was not turned on, so I turned it on:
I also changed the CGW exterior functions version from "USA, CANADA, JAPAN" to "REST OF WORLD" and gained some new functions, as well as got rid of annoyances.
-If sunroof is tilted, car now alerts you when turned off.
-If lights are on, car alerts you when you exit the vehicle.
-Car does not give you a KeylessGo or "Do Not Forget Key" message or chime
-No more side marker error messages when bulbs are not in (my orange markers are painted yellow)
-Switched the HVAC display to have both Day/Night mode as opposed to being always in night mode.

PS - if anyone in the NY/NJ/CT/RI area wants me to code anything on their car with SDS, please shoot me a PM. You can drive to me (Long Island) or I'll come to you (S65 is BAD on MPGs!)

I believe my 06 s500 airmatic does auto level and thx Oxygen for the coding offer.
I have a question on the heating system coding. I had the control valve replaced that controls heat (not sure if it's blower but heat didn't work till i turn down temp and back up) so now after the replacement when i'm in a cold day starting the car, it just blows cold air till the car warms up. But before it's like low fan till the car warmed up to blow hot air. Could it be coding?

2005 S55 does not. I went to 3 different MB dealer and complained (car under warranty). As someone said ABC car does not do Xenon auto leveling. Tech explanation was that ABC suspension adjust itself very quickly that auto leveling cannot keep up with ABC so there is no auto leveling. w220 with ABC does not have bi xenon auto leveling.
