Using the * button on S550 2012

Guys,

I have had my S550 for about 90 days not and I have set the * button to activate the massage on the drivers seat which the owners manual say on page 120 should enable and disable this feature. I have found that it will only enable the massage and not allow me to disable it.

Do any of you guys have the same issue or can any of you use this button to turn the massage feature off as well?

Thanks

The "Favorite" button can be assigned to trigger massage on either seat or both seats, but to stop the massage in progress you need to return to the Seat menu. The massage will end on its own in about 10 minutes.

I love this forum. Yea, I had this same issue. I set set that button to do massage for the seats and pressing it again didn't turn it off. I thought there was an issue but it seems this is normal from what Mike just said?

On another note. On the air side bolsters that fill up when cornering... If they are both set to "on" in the menu, does the passenger one still fill up and work when no one is sitting in that seat? Just wondering as you'd think it would only activate from feeling the weight of a person sitting there first?
