cool feature
Pressing the re-circulate air button, closes all the windows and sunroof. Now repressing that all the windows and sunroof go back to their previous position. This means each windows and the sunroof actually have a memory on the position. Now this is why you got to love German engineering. They take care of every possible scenario. I found out about this feature accidentally in the car manual. I am pretty sure lot of you already know about this. So now I am actually using this button to close all my open windows rather than pressing 5 different buttons.
I don’t think any of the Japanese "luxury" cars have this feature I might be wrong. I guess all they know is to copy whatever BMW and Mercedes does.
All the Japanese companies do in order to compete with German engineering is add a big engine, lot of insulation, and throw in some leather and fake wood (Acura) or wood used in Yamaha piano’s (Lexus) . Of course then they copy all the features that German’s have had in their cars for years and make it sound like a new invention. You know like the stupid Lexus ad on the remote keyless entry.
Just my opinion and some observations.

Dang are you serious? I've had mine for a month now and I didn't know this. I really should read the manual one of these days. I'm trying out this feature tomorrow!!!!!

Mr. cracker123:
This was posted before, however... just in case here is goes for you guys...(Previuslly posted on C32 AMG)... though some features may depend on the type of options you have in your (car) built
What about....
-Closing all windows and sunroof at the touch of one button: (while driving).
While driving, if you have all windows opened, and even the sunroof, (with the either AC on or if you have just the ventilation on) if you hit the Recycling air button to turn it on (red light comes on), and hold it pushed, all windows that are opened and even the sunroof (if opened) will close!
. (as said on this thread)
-If you did the previous test... if you press the circulation button again (ventilation or A/C must be on AND ventilation must be activated AND the previous step was done) and hold it down (to turn off recirculation), all Windows & sunroof will open up again to their previous position!
(as said on this thread)
-Change/passing lane signal (3 blinks only)
If you touched the turner signal but without pushing it all the way through, the selected side (left or right) will blink 3 times (good for lane changes
)
-Side mirror tilting on reverse's separate memory (3 settings)
Each seat memory can hold a different memory for the tilting when in reverse for the side view mirror![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
-Key change to unlock driver’s side door first, then the rest of the doors
Or it’s opposite to open all doors at once, both features that are user programmable!!!!
- Closing all windows and sunroof with the keychain
If you have all windows opened, and even the sunroof, if you push the close/lock button and you hold it down toward the Infrared sensor in the car, the car will lock, then close all the windows and sunroof (if opened)!.
- Opening all windows and sunroof with the keychain
If you have all windows closed (whether the car is locked or not), if you push the open/unlock button and you hold it down toward the Infrared sensor in the car, the car will unlock (if locked), then open all the windows and sunroof.
-Alarm "Chirp" when locking/unlocking your C32!
IF you have enabled the "Norway" setting... which is just a country code selected in the setting of the C32 --this is done by a technician at the dealer-- you can have your car "chirp" when you lock/unlock your vehicle
. If you do activate this feature, depending on the "country code" the technician selects, sometimes, depending on the country code selected, the panic button will cease to function... solution???.. to have the correct country code selected that allows "chirping" and panic button to work ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
That is not co count depending on the type of equipment you have, they are other features Self leveling Bi-Xenons… the list goes on and on and on…blah, blah, blah…
Cheers!

Hey , I guess I know about the rest of the other features, the funny thing is that I did not know about this feature eventhough I had the 01 C240. I guess reading the manual once in a while helps.
One more question, what button lets you cool down your car in summer and keep your car warm in winter. I tried to find this in the manual without sucess.

btw, i just figured this out after reading this thread, to use 'rest' mode simply hold down the 'AC Off' button while your car is turned off until you hear the fan start blowing
I NEVER KNEW!!!

btw, If you have the temp set at coolest temp, the REST in the summer will bring in cold air and no hot air from the engine even after a while [at least in my car] and visa versa up to an hour [or how long the computer determines REST could be used without draining the battery].
