Thigh extension not working?
Morning all,
Somewhat new owner of a 2014 E63 AMG. Every single thing on the car works except for what appears to be the thigh extension function on the driver seat. Am I just an idiot or is there a particular way to operate this? Every other function on the small control pad next to the driver seat works such as the bolsters, massage functions etc but when I press the forward or backward thigh extension buttons nothing happens. No sounds no nothing. I know this was a super common thing on BMW's where the gears would fail and it was a somewhat easy replacement. However my research isn't returning this as a common problem on the W212. Am I missing something?

its not something I've ever read about not working but that doesn't mean it can't fail.

Yeah so it turns out I am a complete idiot.
I was expecting the thigh support to extend out, which is not what happens. It more so inflates and raises or lowers. When sitting still, with the car off, I can feel it move.
