I thought it was pretty cool that if you select information from the radio menu it displays the stations logo.

Did you know?-img_0988_zpsdjoj7phu.jpg

Screeching brakes are typical from performance pads until they heat up. The more aggressive the pad the higher the probability of the screeching. It wouldn't surprise me if after MB released the new pad compound everyone complains the car won't stop.

I think that might be an Aussie thing. Tried it today- no show.

Pretty sure it's a SiriusXM satellite radio feature.

Except for the fact that the photo they posted shows an FM station.

I'm going to take another stab at this--I'd imagine it's a feature of HD Radio

Confession time: I find myself only listening to SiriusXM/Media Interface/Bluetooth audio.

It might be but I don't seem to get any icons for the stations as well as most stations don't show the song info and I've got the HD radio enabled. However, I think this is more so a thing of whether or not the station itself is broadcasting this information and I don't think a lot of the stations here in Phoenix do that.

The circular graphics on the dial's are inspired by the ones in the 300 SL Gullwing. I noticed it on the Jay Leno episode on this car: https://mbworld.org/articles/jay-len...utely-perfect/

You need to be slightly careful with the 'Hold' feature though. If you engage hold and the auto stop kicks in to stop the car, and whilst stopped, the car decides it doesn't have enough power, it'll restart the engine and disengage the hold!

I've been caught out a couple of times in traffic when the car has started off by itself.

Always use the parking brake if you're going to be more than a few seconds! The other annoyance is the brake lights stay on when in 'hold'.

... and the analog clock, although ours doesn't require hand winding.

Why wouldn't you want the brake lights on when in HOLD?

Because it's inconsiderate to the person behind you in a traffic queue.

That sounds like it could be a fault with yours... Ive used the HOLD every day feature since the day I picked it up last week and its done its job properly. the only time it would release would be when I hit the gas or tap the distronic resume stalk...
