There is a button under the right side of the steering wheel to select various dynamic select modes. It starts on "C". I can turn the button to access the others. BUT: I read that pushing the button should call up the individual mode. When I push the button, nothing happens. Thoughts?
Pushing the dial to activate the Individual mode no longer works in the latest models. That's because in the E Performance models it's now used to control the recuperation. Pushing it toggles the function to control the recuperation. Since the 43 is only mild hybrid it doesn't offer control over recouperation, so to be consistent I guess, pushing the dial doesn't do anything in the 43.
Depending on the model and model year, the dial does different things in addition to changing the drive mode. In my 2019 C63S Coupe for example it is also used to control the 9-stage traction control. This function activates when ESP is fully turned off, and then pushing the dial toggles between the drive mode selection and the 9-stage traction control. Otherwise, pushing the dial activates the Individual mode. I really like activating the Individual mode this way and I find it a step backwards that it got eliminated in the latest models. One more reason why I'm not keen on the latest AMG models. Seems small, but since I mostly drive in Individual mode it makes a difference.
BTW, one thing you can do in the newer models is you can customize which modes you wanna be able to select from and in what order. If you go to the DYNAMIC SELECT screen in MBUX you should see a pencil icon. If you press that you can drag the modes around to reorder them and delete the ones you are not using, so you don't have to skip over them when using the steering wheel controls.
