Most of the photos I see of the E Class have the Parktronic switch to disable the system on the transmission console indicating its presence,but there is no evidence of the display ontop of the dash above the centre vent.

Does the display rise up from the dash (eg.when reverse is engaged) or is the display always there and I just can't see it?

 

When you engage reverse you will see it on the rear centre reading light which you can see in your rear view mirror.

Correct, but there is also a display on the front dashboard to give an indication to how close you are to the car in front.

That's the one I can't see.

 

It is on top of the dashboard, it only looks different, it is now a series of yellow and red dots.

On the first picture the car doesn't have parktronic but the next two do.

 

see below close up

 

Thank for that.
The new display seems a lot smaller than previous versions and harder to see in some photos.

 

here is another...
