Can someone tell me what the button on the right is? This is on the new S600 -but I have no idea it is. It looks like its a Lense that is scanning the road.
Only thing I can think of is Magic Body Control.

It's the button to turn the head-up display (HUD) on/off

^^ Looks photo shopped. Thats not an actual picture from a camera. I'm afraid the only way to see it is to experience it.

I haven't come across a real one either, but there is really nothing special about this. Different design than the BMW but HUD's are really nice to have, especially when you use navigation for turns and exits. Use and like it every day.

They are bright enough for the sunniest days but polarizing sunglasses can impact that quite a bit when turning your head.

Wonder if they will show media info as well like BMW...

Never driven a car with a HUD. Maybe my next S class (the fifth one) will give me that experience. What's that 8 years from now.......lol.

You'd get killed on the trade in of the facelifted version due out in a few years. Makes u wonder - how would they ever facelift this car - its sleek as hell as it is.
