Hi Guys,

my first post in this forum, I recently pruchased a 2002 S500 ... when I picked up the car I noticed a few things .... can anyone help ... PLEASE ..??

1. the temp indicator says it's -37.5 and I dont know how to correct this problem - can some one help? [:@]

2. there is a button on the door handle and a another button on top of the gear shifter, the tech at mercedes told me I can press that button on the door handle and it will unlockt he car as long as the key is in your pocket or purse ... when I push this button the screen inside the cluster says "chip not recognized" and says the same when I sit in the car and press the top of the gear shifter - am I missing something here? help please!

3. how do I program the sunroof to close with one push of the button?

you see this car was in an accident and sat in someones shop for about 1 year, the whole car had to be sent to mercedes and a new key was required!

thanks in advance ....

 

Here's my take I have a 2001 S500. It sounds like you have the auto pushbotton start option which is really cool. I don't have that option, but my understanding is that if you have the card on you, you never need to lock or ulock the doors and the car starts with the push of the botton on the shifer. It is cool too. If you walk away from the car while it is running it will keep running but not allow anything to shif or move. Sounds to me like you have a computer problem that needs to be repaired if the system is not being recognised. good luck.

 

Thanks for your input SilverSeattle. when you are taking about the "card" are you referring to the alarm remote?

 

sorry for the delay. yes, I meant the remote fob. I think the newer ones have a wallet card. I wish I had that system!
