Gravel road indicator.
Oh those wiley german engineers. Today I had to visit a ranch, way out of town. The last 25 km. was gravel. This was good 3 and 4th gear speeds. Lots of sweeping turns through ranch and farm country.
Now as soon as I hit the gravel, this flashing yellow light with an exclamation mark in it started continuously flashing on my dash. Isn't it clever of MB to install a gravel road indicator?
Do you think I have been watching too much World Cup Rallye on Speedvision?
Sideways, Smoky

i hope you were kidding. that yellow flashing sigh is telling you that ESP has been or is currently activated. without that you would have been fishtailing.

Canada eh
Up here in Canada, we live in igloos and most of the roads are gravel. 'Specially where Smoky lives...
Seriously, if I were to do any driving on gravel in the C, I'd get long mudflaps and put steelies without hubcaps on the car. Also, a big ugly padded bra would be in order.
