Rear wiper

Does an icon show up on dashboard when the rear wiper is running?

Yes. Looks like a little window with a wiper.

Do you get the coffee cup for attention assist also? My wife's 2011 E Class had that feature, but not the 2014 E.

Thanks

2014 E-Class has Attention Assist - but the Coffee Cup icon has gone away - you can check system setting in the cluster ..

They changed which icons are on all the time between the 2013 an 2014 GLs, so it is hard to compare apples-to-apples.

on my 2013 the coffee cup and lane departure are there 100% of the time

the lane departure is green when i am driving inside the lanes. when i leave the lanes or it's not sensing lanes, it turns white.

Difference between 2013 & 2014 explains my concern. I do not have coffee cup and lane departure is visual only when I have touched a line, etc. I have on/off road package and would be good if "S" was shown when vehicle in sport mode.

Nice truck

"S" means transmission is operating on 6-speeds, rather than 6+overdrive... "sport" is unfortunately a common misunderstanding..

manuel refers to it as "sport" and when in "sport" and engage distronic plus, the GL goes into D7.
