W220- s55 questions

-does the rear headrest in the 220 go up automatically when someone sits in the seat or fastens the seat belt or are they pulled up manually?
is there a way to make the rear parktronic audible louder or last longer and more sensitive to objects farther away?
- are the interior lights automatically lit when the key is pushed to unlock the car?
thanks, steve h-

#1 - Your rear head rest's are raised and lowered with the button that sits on the top center of your front dash.

The S-55's interior lights can be programed to turn on for a period of time when you shut off the car along with the outside parking lights - these "convience" settings are outlined clearly in the manual -- its worth the read to be able to set up the car to fit your specific needs.

Enjoy your S-55; it is has a way of pleasantly surprising you with what it can do!

ceiling lights have been solved, just my wrong interpretation, rear head rest do not go up with button. the will drop with button if manually raised. the rear seats are not power. are yours? only other issue is the rear parktronic is not a sesitive as front and is only a single beep not very loud. thanks for the response.

Same issue here. If you put the headrest(s) up manually, pressing the button will make them go down - but I can't raise them with the button. Hrm.
