E320 Questions

1998 E320...I have some questions about some of the features and buttons on the dash.

Next to the shifter a "W/S" switch...what is it?

1. Just below it there is a small button that slides left and right. Looks to have a small figure on the left (when in the right position) and a small dot on the right side (when in the left postion). What is this?

2. Is the a place on-line that I can view the owner's manual?

Thanks,

Eric

Re: E320 Questions

1. It''s abreviation of Winter/Spring. If you set it in Winter mode, then your car will start out at 2nd gear, Spring mode start out your car at first gear. Only use Winter mode where there're (thick) snow or mug (to prevent wheel spining), otherwise, always stay on Spring mode.

2. It's child safe mode. If you set it, then passenger on the back seat can not lower or raise window.

3. No

Great, thank you!

I forgot one question...how do you program the garage door opener in the sun visor?

Thanks again.
