Whats this supposed to do????
I was out playing with my ML500 today. Tried the thing on the center of the dash that pictures the vehicle going up hill. Other than putting another of the same image on the MFD I did not notice anything different when driving up a steep hill. This is the button to the right of the DSR and flashers. Anyone have any ideas?? Greg??

Off Road Driving Program
The off-road driving Program is designed to assist the driver when driving off-road in terrain or crossing water. The Off-road driving program adjusts the engine power and shifting of the automatic transisiion to be more suitable for the off-road use of the vehicle. In addition, the ABS, ESP and 4-ETS designed for off-road driving are automatically activated.
In the following situations you should shift to the Off-Road driving program:
- during off-road driving
- when crossing water
- when towing up or down on steep gradients
The switch is located on the bottom part of the center console.

Here's the blurb:
ML 63 AMG
No other off-roader in the direct competitive lineup has a larger displacement and output than the new ML 63 AMG. The AMG 6.3-litre V8-engine provides the performance levels of a sports car, with acceleration from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.0 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited). Compared to the preceding ML 55 AMG with 255 kW/347 hp and 510 Newton metres, the new ML 63 AMG generates 46 percent more output and 23 percent more torque.
Power transfer in the top M-Class model is via an AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission with a DIRECT SELECT shift lever mounted by the steering wheel. Three shift modes specially configured for the sporty performance characteristics of the AMG V8-engine ensure that the power is used to best effect. These shift modes - "S" (Sport), "C" (Comfort) and "M" (Manual) – are selected using a switch in the centre console and differ in their gearshift characteristics and speed.
As in a Formula 1 racing car, the seven gears can be changed using the gearshift buttons on the AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel. The permanent four-wheel drive of the ML 63 AMG is also decidedly sporty in nature: in the interests of the best possible agility and performance on bends, the generous power of the AMG V8-engine is distributed to the front and rear axles on a 40:60 basis. A specially strengthened drive train ensures an optimal power transfer and the reliability typical of a Mercedes.

Thanks guys, I did not post the photo of the ML63 panel and I do know mine is different. That was posted by a member who is about 12 years old and has been interfering with many of the threads and thinks like many 12 year olds that he knows everything. Really annoying!! Anyway, I thought the off road program was controlled by the MFD or is that another program?? Greg, any gas card yet??

OK, now I see that when engaged it puts the display on the MFD into off road so we can engage off road either with the switch on the panel or, with the + - buttons on the wheel. Just ran an errand and tried it. You learn something almost every day with this vehicle!!

Sosh, be careful - over on one of the other forums, when asked about the age, the same person got back immediately telling all the world that the correct age is 14, not 12 
I am also wondering about that W163 in his profile - from Maisto, maybe??
