Some Mercedes-Benz S500 owners report experiencing issues with the trunk soft close and center locking system, often due to a leaking pneumatic module or a blown fuse. These problems can prevent the trunk from closing or locking correctly, but reattaching the vacuum line associated with the soft close mechanism can help restore functionality. Additionally, owners may encounter faults with the central locking system, such as the key fob failing to unlock or lock the doors, which can often be resolved by resetting the system in under two minutes. If these features are malfunctioning, replacing a blown fuse can also be an effective solution to restore proper operation. By addressing these components promptly, S500 owners can efficiently resolve these issues and avoid further complications.
