Little Blue C

Can’t find it in the documentation that MB provides-was driving last night and a blue “C” appeared in a box on the driver’s dash next to the gear level selection. Also, the temperature indication started flashing and then showed 40 degree F which was the outside temperature. Any ideas?

My first thought is that the "C" indicates you are driving in the default "Comfort Mode"

He may be correct, the C may refer to Comfort Mode for the driving dynamic setting. Change your driving mode to Sport to see if it changes to S on your dash.

I am wondering if the 40 degree temperature and your local weather conditions at the time triggered the EQS to ask you to change to Comfort mode for road safety at that time. Was the weather such there could shortly be ice on the road? Just huge speculation on my part. My wife’s Cadillac warns of ice on the road at lower temperatures and wet road conditions….

40F was also when I got cold warning, the blue C really looks like the Comfort Mode though. Btw there is no "intelligent" drive mode. It is eco, comfort, sport, individual (I*)

Turns out the little blue “c” is comfort mode. However, if you pull the right flipper behind the steering wheel twice you will get “intelligent mode” and the indicator will state “AUTO”. You may want to try it ….

That's the regen mode not drive mode. Two seperate things that can be set independently.

The C is the comfort mode indicator.

Intelligent is the recoup mode (Separate functions)

The temp gauge will flash briefly when Temperature hits 40 degrees. Letting you know its getting cold! :-)
