Seat belt extender.

Took delivery of a new 2019 S63 Coupé last night and I just couldn’t find where they have hidden the seat belt extender. Used to be on the dash between the 12.3” screens in my 2015 S550 Coupé. Please help.

Congrats on the new car! Post up some pics when you have a chance.

On 2018+ S63 the seat belt extender is unfortunately absent, along with the passenger seat override. Either of these alternatives would have been far wiser, not sure what M-B was thinking!

1. Left everything alone, and just replace the physicals buttons between displays with touch sensitive controls behind the single glass panel, or
2. Move seatbelt extender to driver memory #3, leave passenger seat control alone, and move rear headrest drop and sunshade into COMAND

I use the seat belt extender and passenger seat override all the time. I've used the rear sunshade and rear headrest drop less than five times in three years of ownership. The 360 camera is also gone from the Driver Assist buttons, it now has to be activated via favorite in COMAND or (I think) putting the car in reverse or park.

Thanks Heisenberg. You are so kind and helpful as you always are.


Here are some pics of the car. Hope they are OK.

Congratulations! Gorgeous S63 - twin spoke forged wheels look great. Also is that the 040 or 197 black and how do you like it compared to the Magnetite ?

Are you going to black-out the window and boot trim chrome ? Always found it strange that these remained chrome on cars with the Night package.

That’s the 040 black, which I also had in my CLS 55 eons ago. I like it better as it is dead-to-right striking. I am going to keep those chrome. Add a little brightness to the car.
