I totally agree with you but believe it or not, that is not what the book says. I have never seen this but the book says the running lights come on when you start the engine and all the other lights only come on with "low ambient light" conditions.

Personally, I have never seen a SL with running lights on in the bright of day but I am going to look closer.

I used the buttons for the hot/cold air on the dash all the time.

I am pretty sure my '04 has the folding mirror feature, but I never park close enough to anyone to turn it on. I figured that having the mirrors turning in/out all the time would lead to some sort failure down the road.

Need to come to Memphis and see my running lights.

I was testing my lights last night, and I noticed that the instrument cluster lights comes on with the lights on or off.

SL500 2003 previous/ E350 2007 actually
About the running lights that is a feature in the settings of the car that you can program and about the folding down mirror IMPO it's a very good and usefull feature of this car.

The instrument cluster is all ways on. I noticed today that the lighting on the interior light buttons was off when my daylight running lights were on today.

I know this is kind of late, but I'm glad to see cupid working overtime, and relieved that you can enjoy your SL600 once again

I think I am LovinSL600 again.

Phew, we got very close to a break up but we have reconciled. We're in love again.
