Hey everyone I did a search on the forums and I could not find anything only a 4 matic and for the internet I received a mixed result.

What are your results for 0-60 for this car?


Thanks!

Thanks but i thought that auto was better for older cars because of the lag time when shifting ?

that should be the SRS failure alert. usually, it's the sensor on the seat which
has failed. question for jluu: has this light been lit for some time?

Yea it has and I have a good bet it's the seat. The memory seat has some weird issues at times.
