It's very cool, and I remember this feature being on S classes since the 80's I think.
The question is, if you turn the temp higher just before you turn the car off, will it make it even hotter?

I use it almost every day. But I think it only gently re-circulates the warm air already in the system, so changing the climate settings just before shutdown wouldn't make it warmer.

Cool. I love it, also for a small 6 lb Pomeranian, it kept the car at 70 inside when it was 40 deg outside for 40 min.

Through the period of time i owned 2 W221s, The REST feature was hands down one of the features i appreciated the most. Even over Night Vision.

circulating the coolant trough the heater by a separate
electric pump. So, rest-warmth of coolant will be used, not just the air.

IMO, night vision is nothing but a gimmicky feature that takes your eyes off the road. If it were part of a heads-up system, it would be more effective.

Dave, you just made me feel better about not having it. You always want what you don't have, but I'll tell you, no car even had the option when I looked. Also, I never hear anyone raving saying it's a must have item.
I also wanted a heated steering wheel, but then came to find out only the leather portion is heated, and I never grab that area when I drive, just the wood.... Wood is good.

All the time in winter. It's really convenient especially when going into a store for a quick stop or even waiting outside a friends house compared to idling. My BMW has this feature too but I feel like the REST in the S is much more effective.

Ok so never actually used the rest feature until the other day when it was 20 out. ran to pick up my daughter from school hit the button. 10 mins later car was still warm which was awesome! I had this feature in 2 7 series and never used it. I do miss the steering wheel warmer which was always in use on the cold days.

That's a good question. Not sure. But I was in a restaurant for an hour and it was 33° out and the car was toasty still when I came back.
