Climate Control: Syncing Temp Controls?

I've searched this forum and my owners manual and cannot find info on this question:

- is there a way to sync the front driver and passenger side climate temp controls, so I don't have to adjust both controls when I want to move the temp?

This is a 2013 model ML550 with the standard climate control package.

Any advice will be appreciated...thanks.

Sorry, but there is not. They are so close together it should not be a big deal to turn both of them.

refer to page 131 of your owners manual -

Pressing the "Zone" button so that it is off syncs the driver temperature to both the front passenger and rear passenger zones

I recognize the close proximity, just surprised this state of the art ML doesn't have this feature, especially since my last two RX350s had the option.....

Thanks...but the "zone" button is available only on the 3 zone climate control system, and mine is the dual zone.....

Sorry. Forgot to look at the fine print on pages 123 and 124. Canada gets the Zone button even on dual-zone systems but US doesn't. Go figure...
