SMART KEY QUESTION

Hi everyone, just picked up my new 2016 C300 baby. I have a question about the smart key. On my TL, I had two key fobs, driver 1 and driver 2 so each key fob had their own settings. I don't see that on my smart keys. Plus, I don't see any markings like driver 1 and 2. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Unfortunately Acura is way ahead of MB (and Volvo) in this area. My 2006 TL was perfect in regard to smart key functionality and interface with seat/mirror memory. MB sucks in this regard.

The keys can be distinguished by there color of the little slide that unlocks the mechanical keys. One is black and there other grey. However there is no real difference in function of the keys.
At least none that has been detected by any of the forum members.

I noticed my hi-beams won't come on if my lights are set to auto, I have to take off auto for hi-beams to stay on. Am I missing something?

And I noticed my volume on radio raises as speed increases and lowers as speed decreases. I tried looking up settings but don't see anything for this.

This is really taking the thread OT, but to answer your question:
- auto high beam only works under certain conditions - so, no you're not missing anythig. It uses the camera at the top of the windscreen and if there's any kind of forward lights (even overhead lights) they won't always go to high-beam. Go somewhere dark to test.

- The auto volume adjust is under your Vehicle Settings menu (press the button with the car icon) then slide the controller down and go to the "Settings".
