Memory function

The memory function of the Mercedes E-Class (4th generation, W212, 2009–2016) allows individual settings for the seat, steering wheel and exterior mirrors to be stored. This makes it quick and easy to adapt the vehicle to different drivers. Operation is intuitive, while safety mechanisms minimize the risk of pinching during adjustment movements.
