It is not a feature for the W210 mainly, it is available for the W202, W203, W210, W211, etc.

It turns on the taxi sign ("available"). Have you ever taken a taxi? There's a sign showing if it is occupied or not.

"TAXI" is a well-known German term for "EJECTION SEAT".
The repeated costs of seat replacment and headliner repair make it a fairly uncommon option these days.

"...you mean it was a cab?"
uh, the light on the roof, the meter on the dash, & the bullet-proof window behind the drivers' seat weren't sufficient indicators?
