I receive warning after I pass 5 mph speed if any of the passenger doors or trunk is open. The car needs to notify me as soon as it goes into drive mode. Manufacturers response has been quoted below. "we tested a C300 here. If the driver door is open, there is an immediate message when the vehicle is put in gear (forward or reverse). However, all other doors receive a message at approximately 5 mph. Mercedes-Benz recommends that the driver make sure all passengers are in seatbelts and the doors are secured. "
