  1. Does the 204 model have the same alarm sounder as the 203 model (as well as many other Mercedes-Benz models)? Before proceeding, disconnect the device and observe the outcome. If there are no modifications, it is advisable to have the codes read. It seems improbable that all of these codes are genuine, thus post #2 seems like a reasonable choice. However, the most cost-effective method is to disconnect the alarm transmitter.
  2. I will examine this and evaluate it. There was definitely air being pumped into the bladders, and the process was swift. Does this not imply that it is still functioning properly?
  3. I have not yet attempted this. I will attempt to locate a schematic illustrating the process of removing the covers. I lack complete certainty on the functions of the control modules. This afternoon, I removed the seat control adjusters on the driver side in order to apply a little amount of Vaseline around the seals of the 5 connections. However, after reassembling the adjusters (which was difficult), the seats no longer inflate and I can hear a faint hissing sound. Regrettably, I have exacerbated the situation. Apologies.
  4. Oh, how intriguing. Considering that the bladders remain inflated after being inflated, it is likely that there is a little leak. However, additional investigation is necessary to confirm this. Under typical circumstances, at what specific moment should the pump cease its operation? Is it convenient to inspect or reach the bladders? If it is a career that requires standing, I believe I will refrain from pursuing it.
  5. There is no text provided. Here is a little update. It has been discovered that a former owner attempted to repair the air bolsters in the passenger seat, but was unsuccessful in doing so. Essentially, they applied an excessive amount of tape to a recent connection, when all they needed to do was use a little more force to properly attach the pipe. Fortunately, the repair was provided at no cost. According to another source, Mercedes has communicated that the seat bolsters may only be altered during the first 3 minutes of the car's ignition. Despite some claims of nonsense, I have personally found this to be accurate. I am able to modify the position of my seats for around 3 minutes. However, after that duration, the pump ceases to function and I must restart the vehicle in order to make any more adjustments. There might be a potential defect or that could be the standard configuration for my specific model. Regardless, the system is now functioning well and I would want to express my gratitude to everyone for their guidance and assistance.
  6. Appreciation expressed. I will verify the output. I believe there may be a little issue with the output, as I can detect a slight release of air while attempting to deflate. However, the inflation of the chambers does not seem to be evident. Is the pump audibly noisy or am I seeing it as less audible due to its enclosure in foam? According to another discussion, the seat air chambers can only be altered for a limited duration upon starting the automobile. Initially, I found the noises to be peculiar. However, when doing a diagnostic examination, it seems that my first impression was indeed accurate. Perhaps it is also a flaw. I am curious to understand the functionality of the controls, since it seems that they are not linked to any electrical components, but rather only reliant on the air pipes.
  7. I am uncertain about your reference to the motor (is this an additional component for the seats?), but when I start the car's ignition and attempt to inflate the seat, I hastily go towards the trunk and can perceive the pump generating vibrations from behind the foam enclosure. The lack of noise makes it unclear whether the device is functioning correctly or not. If my observation is correct, the pump seems to possess two protruding pipes, while there is a possibility of more ones. The pump itself has not been seen since it is enclosed in a black plastic container. In my opinion, it is likely the subsequent aspect to investigate. After referring to David's provided link, I inspected the pipe connections located at the front of the chairs. Upon examination, I saw that the joints were intact and free from any cracks. I have not yet removed the back of the chairs to inspect for any contents. Given that the fuse is intact and I can see the pump's activity, I assume that there is likely a little leakage, but I have yet to determine its source. Are there any other conspicuous spots where they fail with more frequency?
  8. I will investigate this more since it closely resembles the symptoms I am experiencing. Appreciation expressed.
  9. Indeed, an astute observation. I will initiate a series of telephone conversations.
  10. I appreciate your prompt response. Although I own a limited warranty, I refrained from using the claim limit to save it for any future occurrences of more severe issues. If necessary, I can do without the adjustable chairs, but I am willing to try adjusting them myself out of curiosity. I may choose to bring it to an independent technician nonetheless, in order to get a diagnosis and make a decision based on that assessment.
  11. I own a 2015 e350 coupe equipped with multicontour seats. Similar to other objects, they do not expand in size, however I can feel a little amount of air being released when I activate the deflation process. The fuse remains intact. I have located the pump concealed beneath the foam in the trunk. When attempting to inflate a seat, I can perceive the pump's vibrations upon placing my palm on it, however it emits little noise. Both the passenger and driving seat serve the same function. As I have only had the automobile for a week, I am currently not acquainted with its features. However, I am curious if anybody else has experienced similar issues and if they have any suggestions for further troubleshooting. I appreciate your assistance beforehand. Postscript, I have a strong affection for my just acquired automobile.
  12. I hypothesise that the object in question is more likely to be deformed rather than a shrub. Conduct an examination of the suspension system, steering mechanism, and wheels. Record the observed instances of road damage and proceed to initiate a formal claim with the appropriate municipal authorities for the purpose of facilitating necessary repairs.
  13. In the event that the air filter cartridge for your Lotus cannot be located at Toyota or Lotus dealerships, it may be prudent to explore other avenues such as aftermarket choices or specialised providers of automotive components.
  14. Upon further reflection, I express concern over the ability of the aforementioned vehicle to successfully navigate some Alpine roads.
  15. We explored several gorges in the vicinity of Montpellier, as well as in the Pyrenees region, where we saw instances of adept truck and caravan manoeuvring. I am uncertain of the means by which they ascended and descended the sections characterised by strong gusts of wind, since I had a profound sense of fear when traversing those segments in my little hatchback vehicle.
  16. I contemplated this notion, but I harboured uncertainty about its validity, acknowledging the possibility of my inclination towards frivolity, which, upon reflection, may perhaps have been the case.
  17. It is good to have confirmation. Last year, I embarked on a journey to Barcelona by traversing the Pyrenees mountain range. However, due to the use of my previous vehicle, I did not give much consideration to the fuel consumption throughout the trip. Have you completed the construction of the country roads?
  18. The user acknowledges the validity of the issue made and expresses a lack of awareness on the specific phasing out of 95-e5 fuel, while highlighting the continued availability of 98-e5 fuel. I made a foolish mistake. It is reassuring to get this knowledge, which alleviates any concerns I may have had. The overall distance of the journey will be around 2,000 miles, since we want to fully avoid highways and instead appreciate the scenic country roads. Thank you for your response.
  19. I am seeking clarification on whether the E5 and E10 labelling conventions are universally recognised across the channel or whether E5 is referred to by a different designation. It seems that the term used to refer to this particular concept was commonly recognised as 'super-plus'. I want to traverse the countries of France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland by automobile and need reassurance on my itinerary. Furthermore, what is the level of accessibility of the E5 in the aforementioned countries? If it becomes necessary to plan my travel itinerary with consideration for gas stations, it would undoubtedly pose a significant inconvenience. Particularly since I am resolute in my resolve to avoid using highways as well.
  20. I have the same sentiment. The KRP500A plasma is a specific model of plasma technology. This device is an excellent piece of equipment. Currently, Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) exhibit a level of performance that may be considered comparable to other existing technologies. I am optimistic that the reliable and enduring entity will persist for some further years prior to its ultimate cessation. Recently, I have had to make some adjustments to it since it has shown the presence of pink sparkles in the highlighted areas. Fortunately, I had a preserved version of antiquated software that I had purchased in the distant past, together with an exceedingly aged laptop operating on the Windows XP platform, which enabled me to access the engineering menus.
  21. The concept of "Mercedes goodwill" seems to include contradictory elements. I own a Pioneer television. The product was accompanied by a warranty that lasted for a period of five years. A issue emerged around six months subsequent to the expiration of the warranty period. Pioneer covered the cost of the costly component, while I assumed responsibility for the manpower expenses. It would be advantageous if Mercedes-Benz were to provide a comparable service in this particular scenario. It would be more preferable to arrange it in a First-Order Condition (FOC) manner.
  22. From my perspective, I would not anticipate incurring any cost to get the issue resolved considering the prevailing conditions. A television often comes with an enhanced warranty. Please provide us with regular updates.
  23. To provide clarification, it should be noted that the process in question does not include recharging the hybrid battery. However, it does contribute to the functioning of the electric motor. I am unable to recall the whole elucidation; yet, it does possess a functional effect. In the event of non-compliance, a decrease in power output exceeding 100 horsepower would be seen.
  24. One should exercise caution while submerging a Hybrid vehicle, particularly in salt water, since there exists a potential risk of flooding, electrical short-circuiting, and subsequent combustion.
