'''Remove Rear Seat Backrest'''
== Rear seat adjustment ==
[[File:W220_rear_power_seat_bench_feature.png]]


Lower the head restraints. There are 2 torx bolts at the bottom of the backrest - remove these and if the car doesn’t have electrical rear seats, lift the backrest up about an inch and pull it right out. With electrical rear seats the centre seat squab and back-rest must be removed to expose two Torx screws securing the left and right rear back-rests at the centre top.
In vehicles equipped with option code [[Option_codes#223_-_REAR_BACK_REST_ADJUSTMENT_AND_HEAD_RESTRAINTS.2C_ELE|223 - REAR BACK REST ADJUSTMENT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELE]] the switches can be used to adjust rear:
* (1) Seat bench fore and aft adjustment
* (2) Head restraint fold/place upright


'''Remove Rear Seat Bench'''
[[File:W220_individual_rear_power_seats.png]]


There are two push buttons under the bottom lip of the leather where it meets the floor carpet - run your fingers along until you feel the recess and just push it in. Do this on both sides of the car, and the bench can be lifted out.
In vehicles equipped with option code [[Option_codes#224_-_INDIV.REAR_SEAT_AND_HEAD_RESTRAINTS.2C_ELEC.ADJUSTAB|224 - INDIV.REAR SEAT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELEC.ADJUSTAB]] the switches can be used to adjust rear:
* (1) Seat fore and aft adjustment
* (2) Seat height
* (3) Head restraint fold/place upright

=== Front passenger seat adjustment from rear ===
[[File:W220_adjust_front_passenger_seat_from_rear.png]]
 
Vehicles equipped with option code [[Option_codes#247_-_SEAT_ADJUSTMENT_ELEC._ALSO_OPERABLE_FROM_REAR|247 - SEAT ADJUSTMENT ELEC. ALSO OPERABLE FROM REAR]] have two additional buttons (buttons (1) and (2)) on the rear [[door control module]] behind the front passenger seat, which can be used to adjust the front passenger seat.
Note that it is not possible to adjust the seat cushion depth of the front seat, since the cushion depth adjustment button on the rear door control module is not functional. It is also not possible to adjust the front tilting of the front seat - front tilting adjustment button on the rear door control module will actually adjust the rear tilting of the front seat.
 
'''None:''' Adjusting the passenger seat position from the rear is not possible if you deactivate the operation of the rear door windows (override switch in driver's door).
 
===Lumbar support===
On rear seats basic lumbar support is available in vehicles
with option code [[Option_codes#223_-_REAR_BACK_REST_ADJUSTMENT_AND_HEAD_RESTRAINTS.2C_ELE|223 - REAR BACK REST ADJUSTMENT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELE]].
 
[[File:Remove_Rear_Seat_Lumbar_Adjustment_Control_and_Trim.jpg|thumb|none|Lumbar adjustment switch for outer rear seats.]]
 
The thumbwheels are located on the sides of the rear seats.
The seats have an inflatable air cushion built into the
backrest to provide additional lumbar support.
 
Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 2.
The inflation pressure of the air cushion can be
continuously varied between position "0" (no pressure) and position "5" (maximum pressure) by changing the pressure regulator (1) setting.

Function requirements:
* No overvoltage or undervoltage
* Term.15R or 15 ON
* Respective vehicle door open
* Position measurement works faultlessly (on account of locking recognition)
 
====Rear bench seat seat adjustment without memory====
With the electrically adjustable rear bench seat without memory a
manual longitudinal adjustment can be performed using one motor
each on the left and right half of the rear bench seat. The
adjustments are made via the adjustment switches in the left rear
door control module (N69/3)/right rear door control module (N69/4).
 
====Individual rear seats seat adjustment with memory====
The following can be adjusted separately in each case with the electrically adjustable individual rear seats with memory
* The angle of the seat cushion
* The fore/aft position of the seat cushion
 
The adjustments are performed manually using the adjustment switches
in the left rear door control module (N69/3)/right rear door control module (N69/4) or automatically using the memory feature.
In this connection three complete seat adjustments can be stored and called up again for each rear seat (left and right).

Rear seat adjustment

In vehicles equipped with option code 223 - REAR BACK REST ADJUSTMENT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELE the switches can be used to adjust rear:

  • (1) Seat bench fore and aft adjustment
  • (2) Head restraint fold/place upright

In vehicles equipped with option code 224 - INDIV.REAR SEAT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELEC.ADJUSTAB the switches can be used to adjust rear:

  • (1) Seat fore and aft adjustment
  • (2) Seat height
  • (3) Head restraint fold/place upright

Front passenger seat adjustment from rear

Vehicles equipped with option code 247 - SEAT ADJUSTMENT ELEC. ALSO OPERABLE FROM REAR have two additional buttons (buttons (1) and (2)) on the rear door control module behind the front passenger seat, which can be used to adjust the front passenger seat. Note that it is not possible to adjust the seat cushion depth of the front seat, since the cushion depth adjustment button on the rear door control module is not functional. It is also not possible to adjust the front tilting of the front seat - front tilting adjustment button on the rear door control module will actually adjust the rear tilting of the front seat.

None: Adjusting the passenger seat position from the rear is not possible if you deactivate the operation of the rear door windows (override switch in driver's door).

Lumbar support

On rear seats basic lumbar support is available in vehicles with option code 223 - REAR BACK REST ADJUSTMENT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELE.

Lumbar adjustment switch for outer rear seats.

The thumbwheels are located on the sides of the rear seats. The seats have an inflatable air cushion built into the backrest to provide additional lumbar support.

Turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 2. The inflation pressure of the air cushion can be continuously varied between position "0" (no pressure) and position "5" (maximum pressure) by changing the pressure regulator (1) setting.

Adjusting rear seats function (CODE 223b/224c)

Seat adjustment of rear bench seat/individual rear seats:

  • 1 - with rear bench seat
  • 2 - with individual rear seats
  • CAN-B - Passenger compartment CAN bus
  • M17/1 - Right rear seat bench adjustment motor
  • M17/2 - Right rear seat bench adjustment motor

  • N69/3 - left rear door control module

Function requirements:

  • No overvoltage or undervoltage
  • Term.15R or 15 ON
  • Respective vehicle door open
  • Position measurement works faultlessly (on account of locking recognition)

Rear bench seat seat adjustment without memory

With the electrically adjustable rear bench seat without memory a manual longitudinal adjustment can be performed using one motor each on the left and right half of the rear bench seat. The adjustments are made via the adjustment switches in the left rear door control module (N69/3)/right rear door control module (N69/4).

Individual rear seats seat adjustment with memory

The following can be adjusted separately in each case with the electrically adjustable individual rear seats with memory

  • The angle of the seat cushion
  • The fore/aft position of the seat cushion

The adjustments are performed manually using the adjustment switches in the left rear door control module (N69/3)/right rear door control module (N69/4) or automatically using the memory feature. In this connection three complete seat adjustments can be stored and called up again for each rear seat (left and right).
