I just bought a 2018 S560 4matic from the first owner, since his wife preferred to drive one of their other 7 cars after 9 months and 2,800 miles. Anyway, I guess the first owner retained all the goodies in the glove box, including the air balance perfume holder. Got one of those on eBay, but I see foam cutouts for a few other items that are also missing... what are they? I'm guessing tire pressure gauge maybe?
Also, in the trunk there's a holder with compartments where the 'spare' tire would go (of course, not provided due to runflats). What comes in that?
Can anyone fill me in, and better yet, take a picture of what's in those locations?

Great, thanks for the pic. So a fix-a-flat type can, tire iron, air compressor and a couple other bits it looks like. My equipment holder isn't that big, so it looks like I'm just missing the fix-a-flat and air compressor. He did leave the metal bar with the thread at one end and the loop at the other, any idea on what that is?
And yes, volume is lacking in both areas for sure, especially with the coupe (which I have).

The metal bar with the thread at one end and the loop at the other is a towing recovery eye. Remove the square, rectangular or round/oval cover in the front or rear bumper, attach the recovery eye and tighten. Used for towing and recovery. Common in many, mostly German, vehicles. Generally plated and not painted.
Another threaded bar, tapered at one end, is a centering device for a mini-spare. Generally plated and unpainted.
Another metal object, not a threaded bar but generally the same size as the others, is the ratcheting jack handle. Generally painted.

Thanks chassis, makes sense. I guess mine just came with that, the air compressor and the "TIREFIT" tire sealant bottle.

Seems fix a flat stuff has a expiration date of 4 years. Mine expired in 4 17 so I need to update that , no spare and no foam would be no good !

Also, Slime and Fix-A-Flat make sealants you can just put in first, and then inflate the tire. So you could get one of those (cheaper, and maybe more effective) and still use the OEM air compressor. The sealant just wouldn't be driven in by the air compressor, you put it in first. That's probably the route I'll go, since I already have a small air compressor I've put in the trunk.
So that's the trunk, what about the glove box? Anyone know what parts are supposed to be inserted inside the glove box door?

(c) 2016 manual
Page 367 shows the trunk contents. https://www.mbusa.com/content/dam/mb...n_Operator.pdf
Page 326 taks about the features of the glove box, but no mention of contents, beyond the features. Holders for coins, a pen and credit cards.
Shows use of the climate control system, specifically the fragrance system. Didn't see any glovebox contents.

OK, thanks again! Looks like the slots I'm seeing in the glove box may be for a pen, credit cards, and a remote control for the multimedia system (not sure mine came with one).

Slots in trunk are for cars with a spare tire. Since I have run flats I don’t have anything in my insert but the towing eye. I did buy a tire line up pin and it fits in one of the slots.

Limey Hooligan, please post your VIN and it can be decoded to see if your vehicle came with a multimedia system.
