Just discovered this magical button

F30MGM · 11-11-2016, 01:31 AM

The button above the circle button with 4 buttons

on it makes the outer bolsters of the seat go inwards and outwards so it holds you better when taking corners. I did not know about it until today so yeah if anyone didn't know about it like me there yall go

Wait until he discovers the Eject button.

For non sport seats you just need to gain a few lbs to tighten the bolsters...

Wait until he finds out about the complimentary EMF capacitor.

Is that lumbar support control? Non-sport seat has that too with premium package.

Not what OP said--button above lumbar control, which are adjustable bolsters.

Got it, my eyes only read "circle button with 4 buttons ".

Amazing to me how many folks don't read, understand or remember basic owner's manual stuff.

I spent the first evening reading the manual cover to cover. It's easy.

You should be ashamed, that is not the manly way to do things.

The correct way is to push every button in the car (except sos obviously) and then when it goes wrong spend the next 20mins swearing and trying to undo it.

Jetsurly · 11-11-2016, 02:16 PM

If you think that is cool, go test drive an MB AMB E class or higher. Their seats are adaptive! So when you take a right turn, the left side of the seat blows up and keeps your torso in line. When you take a left, the right side blows up. It's freaky at first but after driving an E63 wagon, I loved it!

sygazelle · 11-11-2016, 02:17 PM

Yes, but can you find the dipstick?

I put this setting fully in when my fat-ass brother wants to drive my car.

He says, "I like your car but this seat is too tight." I quietly smile.

That fits right in with the AMG value prop. BUT I want my seats to hug me tight all the time!

Seriously--that's really not even necessary for 90% of items. There's a handful of buttons on the side of the seat--"Gee, what's this one do?" Don't even need to read the manual to find out for "hidden" features like that one (sorry OP

).
