List of all "secret" features...
I want to make a list of all of the secret features of the car. For example: unlock button for 3 sec opens all windows. I have started it and will update it as it goes along. Some of you may know all of them so share the wealth! Please include known years.
Unlock button for 3 seconds opens all windows (2006)
Lock button for 3 seconds closes all windows (2006)
Recirculation button for 3 seconds closes all windows (2006)
Face wall 200 feet away, Floor Gas for 30 Seconds, will deploy Airbag (All Years)

that's a great "secret" feature...
no offense MHPHOCKEY, but all those features are in the manual and have been around since the smartkey came out in 1998. furthermore, there's also a thread about this as well if you do a search.

Not that bad a thread - I'll throw something into the pot.
For my 2004.5, in the door of the glove box, there is a chrome plated sunglasses holder. I did not notice it until a few months after I bought the car.
I think this feature was deleted on the 2005s+, though.

This is a thread that will benefit me and any others who did not know to search. The manual is way to long so I decided to utilize my fellow driver's knowledge to make a list.

that's a pretty strong statement.I first signed up for Benzworld and MBworld at the same time a looooong time ago, but I hated the structure of Benzworld and I got more responses here... So, that's why I'm still here.
I go to the "other" forum(s) (e46 and klasse) occassionally, but am not a regular.

In short, turn you ignition to on, roll down you windows to any position. Turn on climate control (Auto)..then hold the recirc button for 3 secs. They will go up, hold it again for 3 sec...and they will return back to their postions.

These "secrets" are all listed in your manuals. So I guess that doesn't really make them secret at all. There's already two other threads about the same stuff. Pick up your owners manual and have a look, MB really isn't hiding much from us...

MBUSA is hiding a lot from us, and I can't figure out why.
How about the Tire-Pressure monitoring system on 2005 C-Class', just need to have a tech use the DAS to activate it.
Would be nice to have that!

Plus, try not insulting the forum members on a forum you just joined. That doesn't help either. Enjoy your stay.
