Newbie ? on 2006 R500

Hey guys..

While shopping around for a car for the wife, we came across the R350 and R500 models and fell in love with them.

I found a really nice silver R500 with low miles for around 28k. Now my question is this...

On the lower right side of the drivers seat (left side on passenger) there are some extra controls. I've searched online and on here to find out what they are and couldn't figure it out.

Its not seat controls since those are on the lower left on the drivers seat.

Thanks in advance for the answer to this newbie question

Owner's manuals are great...



If you didn't get one, you can download it at mbusa.com

As you're finding out, this is a great place to get information. As previously advised, if you don't have an owner's manual, you can download it and search for the answers to your easy questions. You're fortunate to have the multicontour seat.

The R500 is a fantastic car.
