E350 CDI
Question Odometer lights up when locked

Hi All,

I am now a first time Mercedes owner having purchased a 2009 E350 CDI. Loving the car and just really getting to know it but I do have one question regarding the odometer.

I have noticed that the odometer light seems to be lit from time to time when parked and locked in the driveway. Without sitting at the window and watching it I don;t know how often it is coming on but just wondering if anyone has had the same experience?

Cheers

It looks like renidroc is not from the US. The W212 350 CDI started production in 2009 in Europe. The model year of vehicles out there depend on the manufactured date. Example - a car produced in December 2009 is a 2009. I prefer this system more than the one we use. Here, you will be able to buy a 2014 in a few months (depending on when a manufacturer wants to release a new model), drive it for over a year and then sell it at the end of 2014 as a 2014.
