Why are the AC vents different?
I have a question regarding the two attached pics. Note that they are both taken from a 1997 S500 but they are different.
Look at pic A, notice the hot cold air flow buttons are side by side, with what looks like a little speaker or sensor above. Above that there is an orange oval. However, in pic B the hot/cold air flow buttons are on top of each other. After searching forums and looking at different cars on ebay I have come to the conclusion that pic A is a car that is equiped with parktronic. If this is in fact part of the parktronic system, is that the speaker above the hot/cold airflow buttons? also, what is the orange oval for? Does it show where the object is located relative to the sensors in the bumper?
Thanks for all your replies.

The ligths tells you the distance between the obstacle and your front bumper (right corner). The lights for the left corner is on the left of the steering wheel.
The ligths for the rear bumper are located above the rear window and have to be seen on your mirror.
Sorry for my poor english.
