No sound in rear

I have recently bought a 2014 S350 Bluetec.
There are a few minor bugs..
There is no sound in the rear. When i turn the fader all the say to the rear, all that Happens, is that the front volume is turned down.
My question is, if this is something defective, or it is just that i don't know howto de-mute the rear speakers?

it has the Burmester surround system. Not sure if all w222 have the same.

The car is under the "Junge Sterne" warranty, untill march. So if it's a defect, i think it will be fully covered.

Other bugs, are the right side doorhandles light, does'nt work. And the ridehight on the right-rear wheel, is 5-7mm lower, then the other side. I'm guessing this can be adjusted by the dealer.

the last one is very concerning........ other stuff sounds minor, I guess no one can tell what's the problem via a thread so I'd take it to the dealer asap. Make sure you know the full story behind the difference in height between one side and the other, and let them test the entire airmatic system just in case.

This is all about the quality of the warranty. Dealer should be able to fix all of this, the question is who will pay for it. Door handle lights are a common problem with this car.

The last problem is the most concerning. It represents either a bad strut/shock (if you’re on an airmatic) or a bad Magic Body Control (which is self-leveling) system.

So the workshop fixed the soundsystem. But a week later, it is again only playing in the front.
The manager diid'nt know what had been done.

And the manager says the Airmatic is within tolerances. And that it is not adjustable. He said that when it is defective, it will drop alot more on that corner.
