Centre Console buttons

There are 8 buttons, 4 on either side of the caution signal button on the centre console, and on various models these buttons are used or not. I was wondering what all 8 buttons are:

Left 4 (left to right)
1. Heated seat control
2.
3. Rear window shade (N/A on C230K)
4. ESP

Right 4 (left to right)
1. (alarm/lock... forget)
2. Rear headrest control (N/A on C230K)
3. (something for towing... forget exactly)
4. Heated seat control

I'd like to know what I'll be missing on my C230K.

I believe you are correct. I think the number 2 switch on the left side is to turn on the parktronic - but I'm not sure.

I've heard "parktronic" a few times... guess I'm going to have to search to figure out what that is.

Distronic and Parktronic... sorry... but what a waste of money for something so simple. Don't most minivans come equipped with similar rear sensors standard now?

Overpriced on a MB, not worth it.

Taylor, I believe you'll be picking up yr car in just a few weeks time, I think you should explore/discover all the gadgets in yr car until then. It will be no fun when you pick up yr car and know exactly what each and every buttons are for. Dont you think you'll feel more excited like a 3 yr old kid receiving a present and play with it inside out?? :p

Also, I think you've missed the door lock/unlock button somewhere.

Yeah but I'm like a little kid right now, I have no patience! I want my new car NOW! arggg the wait is killing me!

Even if I had the car, the manual wouldn't answer a question like this, what is missing? I searched a few threads and found the missing buttons, just couldn't find the second one from the left.

Besides I hope to be too busy cruising to worry about what button does what. Do you really want me fumbling with the buttons or manual when I pickup some lovely ladies? come on, how would that look (I'm also a little bored at work... slow day)

Also, I'm not a RTM kinda person.
