I have a few questions about the C63 technical functions.

Like I said in my previous post these 2 lights are for what in North America you would just use flashers for. Simply put, markers for when you pull to the side of the road. Hence only the drivers side coming on. These are used in Germany because it is illegal to put on your hazard lights unless there is in fact an actual hazard.

You must be referring to the parking lights left and right. They are used in Europe where parking on the curb is allowed. Due to the narrow streets there. You would simply turn the light switch to the left to turn on either to right or left marker. These lights will not drain your battery, I was told due to their low drawl on voltage.

No, the rear fog light are bright, but not brighter then your brake lights! Anyone following behind you with any intelligence will know that your not braking until the rear brake lights come on. I can see were this might lead to someone mis-interpreting your rear fog light though.

Another question. Does the C63's engine braking more pronounced than other vehicles? When I let off the gas it slows down pretty good on its own. No other vehicle I have driven felt like that on letting go of gas completely. First day I drove it, I kept misjudging engine brake, and let off too early.

C63 Seal Gray
The seat doesn't move back (I wish it did though) on the C63 that I have. And the pronounce side bolster really limits the room one has for entry and exit. I hope someone can hack into the system and make the seat move back.
