Had trouble opening all doors this morning and when I was inside, the driver door refused to let me out. Also the driver’s door handle didn’t retract fully and locking/unlocking from key fob not functioning!
The tyre pressure warning light for the passenger tyre is constantly on even though the digital readout is saying that’s the highest pressure. Hopefully to be looked at a local dealer later today.

All sorted now. Needs a new door handle/mechanism which is on order by the local Merc dealer. Also had a complete system reset which cured the door locking problem. Whilst it was at the dealer it received two outstanding recalls, one for a rear seatbelt cable and another for the rear windscreen wiper tubing.

I hope it was all covered under warranty?

Yes, all under warranty. The system reset which cured seems to have solved the tyre pressure monitoring system problem too.

They’ve finally fixed the faulty door handle (lent me a Merc EQA 250+ plus premium which was a slightly better ride and had slightly better efficiency but much less equipment and much more expensive). However, they damaged the driver’s window glass which is now on order, so another trip to the dealer will be necessary,
