FT Benz

I'm still learning my 07 E550 and there are so many settings on some of the features I was curious where people keep their car features set to?

I'm sure I'm leaving features out (and I certainly don't have every option) but these were the ones to come to mind.... I put where I keep my settings in ( ) next to the feature. If anyone has a reason for why they keep a setting a certain way I'd love to hear the opinion!

1. C or S for regular driving on the transmission? (S)
2. Comfort, Sport 1 or Sport 2 on the suspension? (Comfort)
3. What info do you regularly keep on your dash? (MPH but I switch around often)
4. Daytime running lamps on or off (on)
5. Keyless Go - driverside or all doors (all doors)
6. Headlamps - auto or do you dial manual? (auto)
7. Nav volume - min fade, max fade, etc? (I think I have mine on medium fade - also set it to German for a bit the other night - I thought it fit...lol)
8. Ambient lighting - min - max? (Set to max)
9. Convenience entry - tilt wheel lets you out (on)
10. The ride height feature confuses me a bit. Does anyone ever actually raise their car for specific driving conditions? Snow, bumpy roads, etc.?
11. Anyone with the Keyless Go actually use their key? (never)

6. I don't put it onto auto so the damn thing doesn't come on for like 2 secs
