How to Lower the Rear Sunshade on a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
Depress the brake pedal of the Mercedes-Benz E300L to prepare for starting the engine. Press the one-touch start button of the Mercedes-Benz E300L, and all the dashboard lights will illuminate, indicating that the engine has started. Press the rear sunshade control button located on the center console of the Mercedes-Benz E300L to lower the sunshade.
Oh, as a seasoned driver who has owned several Mercedes-Benz cars, I find lowering the rear sunshade quite straightforward. Most Mercedes models have a manual pull handle near the rear window, such as a small cord or lever located below the rear window or inside the trunk lining—just give it a gentle tug to deploy the shade over the rear glass. Higher-end models like the S-Class or GLC may feature electric controls with buttons on the center console or door panel—simply press to operate. If you can’t locate it, consulting the owner’s manual is the surest way to avoid guesswork. Once, in my C-Class, I mistakenly thought it was broken until I realized the engine needed to be running for the electric mechanism to function. Remember to clean the tracks regularly to prevent dust buildup that could jam it. When lowered, the shade offers great UV protection, safeguarding rear-seat leather from sun-induced fading. Just avoid yanking it forcefully to prevent costly and inconvenient repairs.
