I have them too, and have no idea what they are/do.

Maybe it's MB spying on us?

The first button stands for Detour. When you have a destination set, if you get into a traffic jam, you hit detour and the systm will make an alternate rout from 5 to 20 miles or something like that getting you back on youur original route after the detour

The NAV button is obvious.

The RPT button repeats the voice instructions and I believe it also relay a CD track

He is talking about the two lights above the navi button.

That's not the only thing I don't know what does in my car.

Oh!! DUH.. I though it was the bottons.

Those lights are for the command to go into night mode when it gets dark.

Hold your fingers over the lights for ten seconds or so, and your command screen will go into night mode.

Another fun trick to try:

Point a pocket flash light or a laser pointer at the little dot below your gas gauge, especially at night, and watch your cluster light up ULTRA BRIGHT!
