Smile Key-Dependant Settings

Hi to everyone at Benzworld!

Just a couple of quick questions...
  • What settings are 'key-dependant'?
  • Are the memory-seat settings cloned on both keys, or does each key hold its own 3 memory-seat settings?

Thanks in advance!

2 quick couple of answers:

memory 3- seat settings are not stored in my ML keys ; they are in the memory seat buttons.

settings for both keys come identical from the dealer unless you change them

Thanks, I know on the SLK each key held three memory-seat settings, so if you had two keys, you would have six memories (3 on one key, 3 on another).

Now I just need someone to tell me what settings are key-dependant, or stored on the key i.e. climate control settings etc...

To clarify the answer to your questions, its quite simple there is no key dependency in the ML. The wheel and seat (06 only) return to the same place that they were left when the vehicle is shut off regardless of which key is used.

l was reading your reply, and yes..my stolen 06 ML350, had the feature of the seat and wheel moving at the same time, the easy-entry feature....l picked up another 06 ML 350, actually an American vehicle , and only the wheel moves this time...Did the dealership somehow shut off the seat function ?????

I believe you can set whether it's off, s.wheel only, or both.

See page 174 of you owners manual.

From what I understand the seat should move on all 06's. As stated it can be turned off or on with the MFD display menu. They did "decontent" this on later vehicles which is why I am still driving my 06. This feature is great and eases the entry and exit of the ML. Better yet my 05 E has this feature along with key dependency which allows the wheel and seat to go to the correct position of the driver that inserts his/her key. Also this was decontented in the E which is why I still have my 05 E. Do not know what I will yet do when both are to be replaced as one of the reasons I buy MB's is for these convience features. May look elsewhere. Its already cost MB 2 new vehicle sales with me.

Yes I would have been really happy if the seats moved to the last key setting upon unlocking the vehicle, it would be already to go then by the time you get to the vehicle.

I think you need the memory package to get the seat to move on the easy entry/exit settings.
