air recrculation button, it does work to closs all the windows. You have to hold it for 2 or 3 seconds, and it will close everything you have open. Then when you want it open again hold for another 2 seconds and the windows open to their present location.
I cant remember if this was discussed earlier but thought it was worth pointing out.

 

this is the first i heard of it.. thanks man... i'll give it a shot tonight... i love these little "hidden" features

 

...also shut the panorama roof? I had read somewhere that it also closes the sedan sunroof, but not the Coupé panorama roof.

 

it does NOT close the roof. Apperently MB decided not to put the autoclose sensor on the car that prevents it from closing on something. If you have ever seen National lampoon's Vegas Vacation, the part where audrey gets caught in the soonroof, you will know what i mean. Maybe that will be on a 2003?

 

is there a sensor on the windows then that stops them from going up if there is something in the way?

 

I don't have an answer for that ::calling 7 years old brother:: I'll give you a dollar if you will stick your head......

 

LOL :p

let me know if you get any takers for the dollar

 

Well i put a rolled up towel in the way of the windows and it did nothing. It pinched them and kept trying to close, so no the windows do not have them

 

actually, it does have it. while it's going up, press down a little on the glass w/ your hand and it will stop.

 

I meant to say that i tried it on the Sunroof, not the windows.

 

Didn't you guy's sales rep go through this option with you when you picked up your car? My sales rep spent 1 1/2 hours with me goin through this stuff.

 

Hey, that was Clark Griswold's fault, not the car's.:p

 

This is true

 

In reference to the self closing "panorama roof" discussion. I wish MB would have put that feature with the recirculation button and also with the actual panorama closing button. It's a pain to hold it until it closes. And the "Vegas Vacation" incident oh well that won't happen if MB would follow using Audi/VW's self closing sunroofs with pinch protection.

 

i agree i hate holding it until it closes...

 

I think we've about reached the height of American laziness. Remember the sunroofs that had to be cranked to open or close? This is just a switch, people! Heaven forbid manual brakes or manual steering ever return!

 

The sedans have one-touch close on the sunroof, and holding the recirc button for a couple seconds will close the roof in addition to the windows. I've thought that the coupe doesn't have one-touch close due to the shades. Only a guess, but maybe they couldn't decide whether the shades should also close during one-touch operation. Not sure though since you guys do have one-touch open.
