last night I found this in my desk, im sure you all got one of these, or if not at least read one:



if you look under the climate control section....


look at this:


what can we do, since this is advertised as a standard option. is there anything we can do????

W211 BEAST

Hold the button that looks like a car with a sideways "U" in it. It will close all the windows and turn on climate control. Good luck

W211 BEAST

Sorry I dont know the technical name for the button, but its easy to find in the climate control section.

LOL good thread

myinternetsucks

sucks, mine doesn't work. I heard that its not standard on US models only euro spec.

W211 BEAST

It should, every MB I've ever been in has it.

Try again. lol

Petje

It works here, dont think it's an EU spec. I thought i have seen it in the W204 Secrets thread... wait a sec.

post numer 1 :

tunnel mode is available on the 2009 w204 (hold down air-recirculation button)

myinternetsucks

mines 08

W211 BEAST

Weird, it works on older MB models. Works on my 06 E.

Petje

Yeah i was suprised that the secrets thread says it works only on 09 models. Dont think its an EU spec. So internetsuck has to try it again i think.

You have to push and hold the recirculation button...

W211 BEAST

I forgot to say that you have to hold it. Sorry if it was my fault.

Petje

So it's your fault LOL

PolePosition

Cool! Have to go check it out on mine to see if it works

I called mbusa directly about this and the tilting passenger side parking mirror - neither feature is in the US 2009 C class.

myinternetsucks

yeah doesnt work when i hold it down.....


I think MB needs to either update our cars with the advertised features, or take this kinda stuff outta the print, i just hope that some of these features weren't deciding factors on people buying these cars cause then its lawsuit time! especially here in Cali, lawsuit capitol of the world!

MB has had "tunnel mode" as a standard option in the US for sometime. If you press and hold the button on the right (recirculate button in the middle of the temperature settings), it should close any open windows and sunroof. If your HVAC unit is different, look for this button on your unit.

myinternetsucks

maybe mines broken then...... damn it!

W211 BEAST

It is a great option to have. Very useful.

aprince2die4

i have 08 u.s and it doesnt work..

AkaSigFreak

08- doesn't work. Even made sure the car was in Drive. I have tried it in the past while driving too and nothing. That Sucks!

micropower99

no sh*it

myinternetsucks

since it is advertised as a standard feature, you guys want start an on-line petition?

Ron Jr

Doesn't work on my 08 or on the loaner 09 I had today.

nyca

if one of you wants to call the federal trade commission or some other agency that regulates this, and go after them, let the rest of us know. MBUSA isn't going to do anything on their own based on owner input.

C300Sport

Yeah, it would be a long, long shot. Besides, almost every auto brochure I have ever seen has a disclaimer clause regarding how all specs, colors, details, etc are not guaranteed and to see your retailer for details.
