There is a torso with number 1 on my multimedia display. Anyone know what it means?

Certainly will help us help you figure it out if you post a picture of it

I'm fairly certain that is an icon identifying the logged in profile for your car.

How about this one? Anyone know what this symbol is? It looks like a battery.

Thanks for the picture, yes that indeed is like the other forum member mentioned, profile 1 is selected.

I can barely make out the symbol in the picture but if battery then it might be regen happening?

I don't think it has anything to do with regen...it seems to be with the Distronic stuff on the heads-up display, so perhaps it has something to do with that? Here's a better picture. Since it is green in color, it can't be a warning...but more of an indicator. This picture looks like a car on a flatbed! LOL!

Much better picture, that is a green car symbol actually not a battery. You are correct, that has to do with DISTRONIC. If I recalled correctly, that symbol indicates ACC is on and that the vehicle is actively following the vehicle in front.

The photo is indeed showing DISTRONIC. Try selecting the car lengths (one, two, three, four) and see if you get the lines below the car icon.

I just checked my HUD when I had Distronic active and I was following a car in front. I did not get this car icon but instead the HUD was showing a green arc (a bit like the white line in the photo above) at the rear of the car in front. I cannot remember if I've seen the car icon, the manual does not seem to describe it.

ECO assist throws a similar icon on the instrument cluster ("vehicle in front"), perhaps HUD shows it too?

The icon stays the same regardless of the DISTRONIC distance between vehicles setting...no change. The icon only comes on once I get relatively close to the vehicle infront of me, and then shuts off as I get close to that vehicle and come to a stop.

So that is the traffic ahead symbol then (forgot what Mercedes' term was called)?

If that's true, it sure comes on late and shuts off early!
