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.

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.

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

We have been cruising the streets were her top down. She does look awfully sexy with her top down.
I think I am LovinSL600 again.
Phew, we got very close to a break up but we have reconciled. We're in love again.
