Illuminated door sills - 1 says AMG???
Hi Everyone,
My father turned in his S550 4Matic today and picked up a new 15 S550 4Matic. I was checking it out, opening all the doors and the illmunated door sills that read 'Mercedes-Benz' really caught my attention. But I opened all four doors and the right rear door sill reads 'AMG'. The car does NOT have Sport Package or anything like that, just a standard S550.
Looking at the MBUSA website, the website shows Illuminated Door Sills as a standard feature and shows a picture of an illuminated door sill reading 'Mercedes-Benz' logo.
Is this a manufacturing error or is the car supposed to be like this? It just seems really weird.
Thanks,
MrElusive

You are right - the wrong cover was installed. I documented all issues with my ML63 here: https://mbworld.org/forums/new-m-cla...appointed.html

I would either demand a new engine to match the sill or have the sill replaced. I have a feeling the dealer will go with the sill. About a 15 minute job to replace it and a $15 part.

In watching/listening to the video, it reminded me of one of my pet peeves, and that is the DING when you open the driver's door. There is a msg that says "Don't Forget to Remove Key" or something like that. I'm getting IN the car, not OUT. The car knows when the key is inside or outside the car, so why does that damn thing ding when I'm getting in?

Keyless entry. you do not put the key in because you have the button inside the key hole all the time. You keep the actual key in your pocket.
