Electronic features
would be great if there is a sticky that has tips and tricks on setting up the electronics in CLS. I've saw a post recently to enable the amg logo on the nav. Anyone else know of any cool howto's?

here's the steps from the thread:
1. Turn the ignition key to the on (not start) position.
2. Press the gas pedal to the floor and hold for five seconds.
3. Turn the key to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.
4. Wait at least two minutes for ECU to reset.
I tried it on my CLK55 and it seemed a little peppier.

An explanation that goes beyond the threat of harming the tranny/ecu would be helpful.

quick question; does the car tells you the ecu have been reset? i'm sort of hesitant on the driving after ecu reset. havent tried, but i would imagine the car would spin out of control if redlining from 1st and switching to 2nd gear.

I've done what Stiggs posted at almost every stop along the highway. Basically the ECU reset just forgets your everyday granny driving habbits. Crusing along the highway lightly stepping on the gas makes the tranny shift slower and more reluctant to downshift.
After doing the ECU reset it will be like the day you first bought the car. The tranny shifts faster and will kick down at a lesser threshold.
Another way to reset the ECU is to just floor it for about 15 seconds. Either way this setting doesn't last more than 15 mins or so if you go back to granny driving.

I dont understand how there is confusion behind what I said. Also, if you don't do these steps, then you do not have to admit so, it just takes up space and time. On top of that, I never said that you have to redline it.
After you reset the ecu, put your car in 1st gear and SLOWLY speed up to the point of shifting. When you reach this point, manually shift to 2nd gear and SLOWLY speed up to the point of shifting to 3rd gear. NOW INSTEAD OF SHIFTING TO 3RD GEAR, let the car slow itself down from 2nd gear to 1st gear and then to a halt. Once you reach this point, turn the car off, re-start it and then drive it somewhere where it will not be used for a few hours.
As I also stated earlier, this is what i heard from the techs at my dealership. They do this every time the reset and ecu on a car. Peace

Why is there risk of harm without the magic drive that your tech advises?

i don't know about all that troll-speak, but back to the topic at hand.....
if you put the key in and turn to position 1 and then hit the reset shaft to the left of the cluster three times, you can open up a secret menu in the display in the speedo. from there you can see actual oil levels and reset service intervals

OK...you're not a troll then...but you're still illiterate. Check your second post in which you contradict your first regarding redlining. But that's OK, I didn't understand your first post either.

On the noob comment, yes since joining in '04 I've done more reading than posting
