MHPHOCKEY

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)

Have Car Face wall, about 200ft away, Floor Gas for 30 Seconds, will deploy Airbag

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.

What do they do on benzworld? Or is that a forum where reading and searching are not needed due to posted pictograms.

benzworld sucks... i came here from there... they suck at LIFE... AT LIFE! mbworld is actual good, its imformative...

nlpamg

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.

MHPHOCKEY

yeah, basically they do absolutely nothing and no one posts.

electromethod

That is soo cool.....can't wait to try that one! Sweet....... no need for naws .

advans

I didnt notice till today! lol and my cars a 03, the only time I open my glove box is....never really loll

yeah mine dont work either!

for this to work, your climate control must be on. if the climate control is not on, this feature will not work.

advans

well, the climate control is on when I tried it, and I tried it having AUTO on and AUTO off

jan ken po

The key is the windows have to be down first. The point of the feature is auto roll up the windows when gaining high speed to keep out the wind....and then when you slow down, to reset the windows to their preset lowered positions.

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...

amdeutsch

Did you forget that he came from over there and what he posted.


Luckily, while searching for him, I came across the video version of the MB Manual

advans

hahaha I love taht MBmanual lolll

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!

Actually, MB calls it "Tunnel Mode" in the manual. It is so you won't have to breath all the exhaust fumes in a tunnel. (But it also works great for sudden summer rain.)

MHPHOCKEY

man, there is some untreated agression here! if you dont like the thread then ignore it. its gunna help me and maybe others and thats all that matters, im not going to go around criticizing every thread!

Thanks to those who did help though...this forum is much better...

jedcred

Perhaps the untreated agression has something to do with spawning six new threads on a new forum you just joined with questions that have already been covered several times before. We love to get new members, and we get them often, but let's try taking it a little slower, shall we? Search around, start threads on topics that have been covered lightly or not at all. That's the way people like it around here.

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