WEIRD: different colour indicators
OK, am I crazy to expect my indicators in my new 320 TDi Bluetec to be the same color?
Right rear indicator (blinker) is red; left rear indicator ois yellow.
What gives?

It's part of a new program Mercedes has introduced called the Kaleidoscope of Colour. You'll also find your right hig beam is xenon and your left one is halogen, plus the bumpers don't match the paint on the rest of the vehicle.

Looks to me like an error was made during assembly and missed by all inspections. The colors are different for various countries and some incorrect ones ended up on your ML. Easy fix though and your dealer should take care of it in a few minutes.

Hey, it's the 21st century. Especially in Germany.
If your turn signal bulb is burned out, the "system" will flash your brake light instead.
Very safe cars, Mercedes.
