I just purchased a new 2008 E350, and I can't set the passenger side exterior mirror to a parking assist position. My previous car was a 2004 CLK320, and I used this feature, so I am familiar with the method used to set it. However, on the CLK, there was a setting in the convenience menu to activate this feature. This had to be selected before setting the mirror. In the 2008 E350 there is no setting in any of the menus for this feature, yet the owners manual says you can set the feature anyway.

The instructions for how to set and activate the feature are identical to what they were on the CLK, but no matter how many times I try, it won't set. It's hard for me to believe that after having set this feature several times before in my previous car, that I am doing something wrong. I wonder if Mercedes needs to activate some software or something that wasn't done.

If anybody has any experience of suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rex
