Cool Feature - Defrost on windshield camera
The other morning, the car was iced up pretty badly. I started it and hit the defrosters while doing some other stuff.
I looked back a minute later, and all the ice over the windshield camera (above the mirror had completely deiced. There's a heating element up there! The rest of the windshield was still solid ice, the engine had not heated up yet.
I also noticed that the passenger side wiper size and sweep area is designed precisely to clear that area as well.
Typical Mercedes engineering.

That is cool (ironically, lol). Hoping I have to wait until next winter to check that out. Thanks for pointing it out.
Speaking of ice, based on forecasts, I am gambling and putting the summer tires back on today. Yes, I know, not smart in Minnesota. I've got 3 vehicles to change out, so I'll start with mine.
