Secret menu?
There are a few videos on youtube that show how to access a secret menu on a C class. Basically you turn the key in position 2, then press the reset button 3 times. This way you can check the battery voltage, oil liters etc...
Is there something similar on the W220?

It's in the HVAC controls. Instructions are in the sticky a the top of is forum I believe.
Lots of stuff to review, nothing to adjust. The tach is kinda fun for the passenger I guess.

There is an up and down button top/left of the steering wheel. Once in the regular menu showing the odometer and trip miles, click the down arrow button once
