I noticed in a 2010 Mercedes E350 I rented today that if I hold down the "lock" button on the keyless remote it locks all doors and rolls up all windows. I previously understood the Federal Government regulators would not allow that feature in the United States...yet I see it on this US Mercedes. Can anyone shed light on why I can't get that feature programed into my remote key ?
... it folds my mirrors too ...

I have had 3 E60s with CA and none of them close windows from the remote without special coding. Maybe somneone coded yours before you got it?
but I would like it to

I think that's where the anti-trap feature comes in ... but I can actually close windows AND moonroof by holding down the fob button OR keeping my finger on the CA lock area on the door after the doors lock. I have not requested any special coding or work-around for this feature - it's also detailed in my owner's manual

Luigi- I can't find that quote in my 2008 owner's manual. What page is it on? Thanks.

That is what I was told and I believed it until I saw that the US Mercedes all do it. I know it can be done because identical cars in Europe do it. But my dealer says it is not possible... Hmmmm.

You probably didn't realize there is an on-line manual available for download here http://www.5series.n...s_Manual_US.pdf AND you can actually search it from your computer. But to make it easier for you, please turn to pages 32 - 34 for the information you need for the CA feature your dealer didn't know about.
