Can someone who has W213 estate with the factory fitted electrically deploy-able tow bar please tell me if the light on the switch goes out when the tow bar is deployed?
The manual says the light should flash when deploying and then go off but mine stops flashing and stays on. There are no error messages on the dashboard and the tow bar seems to be locked in place. Having the light stay on seems like a good idea as you can tell easily from inside the car that the tow bar is extended but the manual says otherwise.
I’ve asked two dealers so far and neither can give me a definitive answer I'm understandably a bit reticent to actually tow anything until I know.
