Maintaining warm temperature while stopped (also known as REST)
In all previous Mercedes I have owned (SL roadsters), one of the console buttons is labeled REST, and if you pushed that button within 30 seconds of turning off the engine, the heating system would continue to heat the car for about 30 minutes. This is accomplished by continuing to circulate the radiator fluid through the heater core and keeping a fan running on slow speed. This feature is very nice if you are running into a store for a quick pick up; you return to a toasty warm car!
I am still waiting for delivery of my GLC, so I have been reading the Owner Manual to soothe the new-car-itis. (its very itchy -- don't scratch!
)
I don't see any specific documentation in the US GLC Owner's Manual pointing out this feature and it was always documented in my SL Owner's Manual. However, on page 142 of the US Owner's Manual, there is a reference to the MENU or MENU/REST button.
If you have a US-based GLC, can you confirm if it has this feature? You have to run the engine long enough to get it up to normal operating temperature, shut off the engine, and then push that button within 30 seconds of shut off. If you hear a fan running, then I speculate we have it on our GLCs.
Thanks!

I can also attest I also have new-car-itis
I'm not sure if this helps at all. Attached is the MY16 Canada dealer's ordering guide for GLC 300 4M. Residual Engine Heat Useage (Somehow abbrev. REST) comes standard.

JM-GLC. a easy way to find out without nagging your dealer for his ordering guide is to punch in your VIN (on your vehicle) into http://carinfo.kiev.ua/cars/vin/merc...ck?su=gc77ra0x
You'll see there's a line that says "Residual Engine Heat Utilization".
