Just got my 3rd Merc, a c300h. I had a GLE, and then a W206 c250d before that.
Really enjoying this one, but what were Mercedes thinking by putting the clocks so far apart? Or am I doing something wrong? I've moved the seat, and the steering wheel (in, out, up and down), but I can't see both speed and rpm clearly, and have a comfortable position.
I don't suppose there's a way of customising the dash, other than selecting the sport clock?
This picture is what I see. The steering wheel is as far up as it will go. If the speed and RPM were closer (like in my partner's A220), I'd be able to everything OK.

Try inputting your height in for the automatic seat positioning. I am 6'1" and I usually lower my seat all the way down. I tried the automatic seating position and it's actually great. It raised me and adjusted everything including the wheel so I actually see more from of the sides/blindspots and cluster.
EDIT: Is that a 300h WAGON??? So jealous wish we had it in the US
Thanks. I'm 5' 9". I had a play with the lumbar adjust. I actually didn't realise I had that, and it helped a bit. Lowered the seat a bit, and its a bit better. I might still be too upright, but coming from a GLE, that's what currently feels comfotable - I guess I need to retrain my frame
I tried the auto seat positioning at the dealer, but I just felt too low. I could try again, and see if I get used it.
Thanks, all - me not the car, then

Yes, it is - sorry you didn't get it, its a really nice powertrain.
