That is why the C-Class has big, user-friendly rotative buttons, but the S these (beautiful, you have to reckon) switches: the A/C is even better and does not require any intervention. They're here just in case.
Well, I can assure you there can be a lot of use for the controls. Especially for people who live in areas where there are "distinctive" four seasons. And when you have to use the controls you would want it to be as easy and undistracting as possible, right? I believe with this detail Mercedes put aesthetics before ergonomics. Thin metallic curvy line of buttons flows better with the S-Class center console design.
