I dont have my C yet so I cant test it. Does the CC go up in single KM or M per hour if you use the CC to accelerate? ( just tap up or down on the CC )
Some cars go up and down in speed by 5 at a time. I knowticed that the CLK's can change speeds by single digits, or the CC can be held up to to make greeater gains in speed.

I'm sure someone will chime in if I got the actual increments wrong, but it's a coarse and fine adjustment on the same stalk.

Audio controls
With those the MM package you might notice that with the screen in the down position and the music playing the steering wheel controls do not change the source for the music.
If you leave the screen down, push the radio button on the dash repeatedly to scroll through the different input sources. Radio>sat>disk>register?etc..
Happy Motoring!

Update, if you push the button to head your rear window, the exterior mirrors will also be heated. So if the outside temp is to high and you want to heat your mirrors, just push the button.

I don't think this is right. if you go past the resistance point it simply rounds up to the next highest speed in multiples of 5mph. For instance if I'm going 88 mph and hit the resistance point up it will go to 90 mph. down it will go to 85mph. Down again (past the resistance point) it will go to 80mph.

Well, no.
There are thousands of small design decisions that go into larger and complex products. Worse, this vehicle has how many computers? All that software has decision points that affect operations. There should be no lack of "secrets", that is decisions that went undocumented.
I agree that some of this is in the manual(s). But even if it is, seeing it here may be an eye-opener for some, and may encourage them to actually RTFM.

Good stuff, everyone! I'm gonna definitely change my digital speedo to mph--I hate always doing the "divide by 1.6" math in my head.
BTW, I really like the auto-tilt on the passenger side mirror when backing up. Parking spaces in Japan are quite small, so it's really helpful.
Lotsa other stuff here I'm gonna try, too. I just got my English-language manuals yesterday and haven't read much yet... I doubt I'll find anything to add, but I'll sure try!

I RTFM cover to cover before I even drove 1000 miles. I still learned stuff in here that I ether missed or forgot, plus there is stuff in here that's not in the manual.... Like entering the service mode, is not in the manual... If nothing else it is entertaining
