Hi all! Newbie w/ 1st Benz here.

Just gifted myself last month with my 1st MB, a 2006 CLK350 Cabriolet and LOVE it!
I know that I will have a lot of questions after I get through the 514 page manual. I've already found some great advice while trolling this forum and look forward to learning so much more!














My copilot Blanca.

Thanks! That's my Blanca, a 5 year old Pound Puppy. I have no idea what breeds were mixed up when she was made. Big personality & bigger attitude!

A mutt! Those are the best. She's very cute and matches your MB very nicely. Enjoy!

Welcome to MBWorld! Great looking vert! You're on the right track with regards to going through the manual first. I'd say a good 50% of the questions asked on these forums are answered in the manual.

Let us know if we can help you out upgrading your lights to newer whiter LEDs like you see on newer models

So true about reading the manual. I've been afraid to touch some of the buttons until I know what what the outcome will be. I FINALLY got to the C/S button. What a difference! I'm still being amazed!
