7 Secrets of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class W204

1. Hidden Auxiliary Input

Pop open the glove box and you'll find a hidden auxiliary input cord! Once you plug a device into it, you can access and control it through the CD menu. 

2. Turn Signal Tap

If you slightly tap the turn signal either up or down, it will engage the signal to flash three times before turning off automatically. This convenient feature enables the driver to not have to fully engage and then disengage the turn signal when changing lanes. 

3. Smart Sunroof

If you've got a European model equipped with a sunroof, then you'll be pleased to know that it will automatically close if left open on both sunny and rainy days (if left in park only). 

4. Rollback Assist

If you find yourself needing to stop on either an incline or decline, then you can trigger the rollback assist system. Give the brakes a hard tap and release the pedal; the car will hold in place for a few seconds before beginning to roll again. 

5. Autosense Wipers

The windshield wipers are specially designed to work better during misty or foggy conditions. They automatically sense such moisture and will turn on by themselves. 

6. Auto Mode Lights

If you leave your headlights in "auto" mode, both the parking and fog lights will stay on after you arm or disarm your car when it's dark outside.

7. Rear View Mirror Visibility

A safety feature is revealed when you pop open the trunk. Sitting in the driver's seat, you'll still be able to see out the back window using the rear-view mirror. The trunk hinge was designed to lift the panel to allow you greater visibility, which is essential when looking for oncoming traffic before getting out of your car, for example.
