Yes Sir, it is definitely a step up in technology. I don't have the Lane Keep; but I get what you are saying. The most advanced car I've owned previously was a 2004 Lincoln Navigator. Very nice vehicle but for $73,000 (US) it should've came with a Chauffeur. Had to unload it when I started paying $140 a week for gas!

Besides sitting in the car and playing around with settings and reviewing the owners manual, I found this forum right here to be exceptionally helpful to me when I got my W213 last year. I learned a lot of little tidbits not necessarily fully covered by the manual.

Scrolling through many of the old posts answered questions I had and also answered questions I didn't know I had. There's lots of experienced voices on the forum who provide sage advice!
