Seatbelt Extender Question

I hate to ask but have not been able to figure this out.
I bought a new to me 2021 E53 coupe a few weeks ago,
For the first week or so, the seatbelt extenders extended the seatbelts as expected.
Then the driver's side stopped.
That was after I played with all sorts of settings, but I did not intentionally change the extenders (I don't even know if you can).
I have searched through the owner's manuals and looked online (including these forums) for an answer but am not finding anything.

Any suggestions?

Fair question.
According to the manual the AMG has no button.
So, no I did not push the button.

I wish it was that simple.

2021 E53 does not have such a switch.

They might have integrated that button in the infotainment, or try looking on the light switch side and the assistant buttons panel, this panel https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...05da2f6680.jpg
Although this image doesn't show the button.

Thanks.
No button there either.
Only 'button' I find in a settings screen, but it doesn't do anything.
it shows an image of the seats with those seatbelt extenders, but you can't touch activate it, nor trackpad click, no left / right or sub-menus, etc.

Hmmm might be a hardware fault then. Try checking the fuses.
