S500 Limo rear seats recline

amolak · 25-12-2009, 07:36 PM

Hi, Is it possible to recline the rear seats?
Both doors have the back rest buttons however the left one does nothing and the right one is rock solid.
Head rest and base buttons work fine.
The user manual does not make reference to rear seat recline.

Thanks

Only the base moves and the back follows.

so what is the point of having the backrest buttons?

The rear left control can also be used to adjust the front left seat (at least it does in mine).

Probably makes sense to have all the switches looking the same from a design point of view too.

So do the back rest buttons actually work on yours, or does the back just move when you move the base buttons?

Thanks

On the rear seats - only the base moves. The back will incline as a result of the travel of the base.

The left rear control can adjust all functions of the front left seat if selected that way.

thanks, no wonder the rear right back button is fixed solid. Is yours fixed solid too?
