I accidently found that the rear windows can be operated separately from the roof. With the yop up, hold down the window button past the one touch click. About 2 seconds after front window opens, the rear one will also. To close, reverse the situation. Remember, the button must be held beyond the one touch click.
Was I the only one that didn't know this trick?

 

great tip

so all i have to do it hold the button up longer after 1 click and the back window will go up as well

will try later

Well, after daily use of my Launch Edition SL 500 for over 28 months, I've learned something-- I've always used to do a delayed, double click!
-Now, what else is still a secret function to me?

Thanks for the tip. Giff Albright of State College, PA

 

Try this:
1. Wind all 4 windows down.
2. Now press and hold the recirculation button for a few seconds.
3. Presto. All windows close.

Mercedes calls this the "Tunnel Mode"

ok , another new trick to try tomorrow morning. does it work with the roof open ?

 

also, say your passed all the smog after closing your windows, hold the recirc again for 2 seconds, and the windows will go to the last posistion. i am not sure about the top though. GL

 

Get this, all the windows are up and I hold the recirculate button and ALL WINDOWS go down!!! Hold it again and they all go back up %^)
Thought you might like to know this trick.

..and with a SmartTop module, the captain of the ship taps the roof switch twice to raise/lower two or four windows, as programmed according to his preference.

 

One of the best written car manuals I've read. And I have read it - cover to cover - some years ago, but forgot about these features! I wonder how many of us have read the book that came with our cars? It's full of salient information..
