Could you do me a big favor and take a couple of pics of your owner's manual. I want to see if the us version looks the same as mine, the translations from english to spanish are horrible, therefore if it is different, I will order that one instead.

Could you tell me from this pic, if this is what everybody was talking at the tread called light segments on the speedo?
Does these lights inside the speedo means cruise control speed?
I asked you it because, I have read the manual from front to back and I don't find it.

Crazy, I can see why you want new guages with orange or red needles. I don't understand why MB picked white needles for their sport option.

I think those white portions in the speedometer is for Speedtronic function. You set the limit for the maximum speed you want to go at, and it will not be exceeded. Basically cruise control with a speed limit set function.

Saintvir: Thank you very much, the USA manual and mine are the same, and you are right those segments are for distronic.

My car is arriving next week, I have a question, is there a light for the glove compartment?

Well, I'm gonna borrow your thread instead of going back to mine asking about the light segments.

I don't have distronic. The car is sitting in the garage. If I use the key to turn it on, the speedometer looks like the picture on the left. If I use the Keyless Go start on the shifter, the speedometer looks like the picture on the right. There is no cruise control on or set to my knowledge.

Any ideas?

yes, there is a light in the glove box, they could have made a better one though, it is only on the left side, ct, we have never noticed the segments that light up like that when using the key

Chris, The segments also will light up for speed limit (set by tempomat) the same stick you use for cruise control meaning you can't pass that limit without turning it off. Try pushing teh cruise control needle to the inside (make sure there is no light lit on the stick) and that should go away at least on my car.
