I found it eventually. When in Disc mode, I had to go to 'mp3' list (not 'audio') and the AUX was there.... knew I wasn't going crazy!!

C Class C180 CDI 2010
Anyone help?

Hey guys,
I have 2010 C180 CDI, in the system menu I have found an option regarding the ESP system, it can be set to Roller test ESP: Off if cir. 15 off and Roller test ESP: ON.

Does anyone knows what does the first choice means? Off if cir. 15 off??
On the following pictures you can see what i mean.

Thanks in advance.

Wonderful thread!

I was just wondering, how do I get the auto-tilt passenger mirror to work? My old BMW had it and it made parking a lot easier.

You have to select the right mirror. Eventually the selector lights will turn off, but leaving it on left on default would turn the feature off.

I tried doing that. It didn't work. I figured it out, I don't have memory seats so it wont program to work.

PS I dont know if this is in there but its a really good knowlegde.
If you would like to have it open all the doors with one push, hold down the lock/unlock buttons together for 10 seconds and this will reprogram to open all doors. If you would like to have it open only the driver door, then hold down the lock/unlock buttons together for 10 seconds

Auto lock and parking brake problems

Hello I just picked up a 2014 c300. I set up auto lock and noticed the door doesn't lock even after 5 minutes of exiting the car. Also the parking break randomly engages at the beginning of my drive (on/after start up) on a couple of occasions.

As for the brake, mine occasionally will say emergency brake on, just pull release handle.

The autolock feature auto locks door if you unlock it and then do not enter the vehicle.

Thanks AC this seems to be minor for me, but for others in my house that can drive the car for miles without noticing the indicators this is not good.

I'll let you know if I find anything out from my salesman.

Enjoy your new ride, it gets even better and better over time.

My MODS
1.) I added a chrome garnish strip to the rear lower section between exhaust. 2.) Dynamat entire trunk including rear under deck, in addition I pulled rear seat out and covered that area as well which dramatically reduced road noise which the W204 is noted as its weak point.

I went with the 2 year lease, I might actually do something with the newer body style car if i decide to buy it down the line. Reviews of the 2015 C400 performance don't look positive.

I find the car is more practical in driving then the 3 series i had, but is way more "disconnected". Overall, if it weren't for some of the minor things i mentioned and the weird breaking plastic noise i get when being "rough" with the turn signals, I would rate this car highly.

Thats funny the rear seat construction and design is the only thing that drove me away from the new model 3 series and towards the older style c300. In particular I think i liked the seat angle and padding, make it just a bit more comfortable.

Anyone know if there is a way to control the right side of the car's A/c with just the left or do I have to allways adjust both temp knobs?

I have been all through the engineering menus, and have seen nothing that would indicate that you could do that. It would be nice though.

Mine has Zone button between the AC dials. Maybe the US trim is different since I don't have the max cool button.

Just make sure the zone button is not illuminated to change both sides simultaneously.

Fascinating stuff.

A lot of it is in the Manual,annd some of it isnt,either.

Keep the thread going,as I am still discovering stings, Notice how the seat-belts tighten automatically as you set off ?
