e-coupe questions
it's been a long time since i've been on. and since then we've added an e-coupe alongside my glk. but i have a few questions regarding the e-coupe that i'm hoping someone can answer:
1. the air distribution of the climate control--we seem to only have the following distribution modes (^ denotes windshield defrost; > denotes front vents; v denotes floor vents):
^, ^v, >, and ^>. we don't have the common v> mode (front vent and floor vent) or the ^v> (distributed to all vents) like i do in my glk or our older c-class. is this right? are all e-coupes like this? i've consulted the manual and it gives no indication as to which positions the distributions can be set.
2. the rear windows have an auto-down function but no auto-up despite the window switches having a 2-stage pull like those found for the front windows which give them the auto-up. is this normal?
3. we have the multi-contour seats but the such seat controls don't light up at night (the switches between the seat and the transmission tunnel). on the e-sedan pictures on the net, these switches light up at night. does it not do the same on the e-coupe?
any help regarding these matters will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

I also find it strange you cannot have air in face and air to foot well at the same time. WHY MB?
I do not have contour seats, so cannot comment.
Back windows do not have auto up. I think this is a safety issue.
Note, if all windows are down and you hold recycle air button in, all windows will go up, but you must keep finger on recycle button. Sometimes does not work

The coupe has none of this. It's switches merely adjust the bolsters or cushion length in and out and provide lumbar support adjustment. Unlike the sedan the adjustments are static, so once you've found a comfortable setting there it remains. There is no 'on' or 'off' state to indicate. If the sedan controls also light up at night, this is more to do with the placement of the vehicle as sub-S class. The coupe benefits from the halo-effect of being called an 'E' but is essentially a shortened C class with which it has more functions in common.

Using the recycle button is meant as a temporary solution to prevent fumes, dust etc. entering the car (eg when driving through a road construction). The window (and sunroof) positions are memorised so a subsequent short press on the recycle button should return them to their former position.

By the way, the E Coupe is actually longer than the C-Class sedan. And the wheelbase is identical.

E550 Coupe
I have a 2010 550 Coupe. On mine, there is a Mode lever adjacent to the passenger temperature control. Toggling it up or down will achieve the front vent and floor vent combo but living in the US, I've never owned a car that let you select distribution to all vents at the same time.
