Nope, that's what it is for.

In BMWs, I think the outer angel eye is lit if you use this function.

But you're right Marcus, I've only noticed it in an MB. The American and Japanese cars we've had never had it.

So let me get this right Wimmer, you just leave the lights on all night and it doesn't drain your battery?

I got the CLK430 in October of last year. I can't tell you the joy of finally being able to drive it top down the last 3-4 weeks!!!!

Yeah this feature is most intriguing because I can remember it on all the old Benzes from yesteryear. I'd love to hear the official reasoning from Mercedes as to why this feature is present.

I believe most European cars have this feature, not only German.

Yeah that is what Ty was saying. Also some Japanese cars sold in Europe. I've really got to research this on other makes of cars here in the U.S.

It seems to be a European thing.

This for example is when one could use this feature.

I have never seen it on Japanese cars sold in Europe, but I have not been inside one for ages. Perhaps they've adapted to the European market by now.

Bravo, Christian!

Marcus, hope this explains.

Merc1 · 05-24-2007, 08:33 AM

The firewall here blocks anything photobucket it seems.
