sexism alert!
my sexiest feature is lovely thank you after being treated to a thorough valet scrubbing inside and out at the weekend.

and it is an automatic. so the clutch is fine. so there.

Actually, the clutch is non-existent
(unless it's one of those new double clutch automated manual jobbies like some VWs have)

oh
this is the problem when your understanding of your car is restricted to (i) colour (ii) speed.

i STILL haven't been able to work out how to re-set the trip after i fill it with petrol, and it's a whole year since i bought it... i think mercedes made it wrong... meanwhile the car thinks it has done 7,000 miles on one tank of petrol!

I've still not bothered with the Comand booklet, I just can't be fucked
As a result I still haven't paired my phone or anything.

nor me
the salesman paired my original phone with it, never used it, never paired new phone, just break the law every time i get a call or text... i know how stupid it is but it MIGHT BE IMPORTANT.

You can download music and hook up ipods and stuff, but again I can't be fucked
The best bit is the reversing camera, I've managed to figure that one out. Oh well, one day I might be bothered.

Have you tried:
Pressing and holding the reset button;
Twisting the reset button;
Asking someone at Mercedes; or
Reading the manual?
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 11:14, Reply)

there is no re-set button!
it needs a service, mercedes can do it then.

manual? are you mad? i have no idea where that is!

It'll be in the Comand thing then
You have to access the on board computer somehow.

I don't know enough about Mercedeses to help any further.

OH
you think it's an electronic setting, not a manual setting??? like the clock??
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 21 Sep 2010, 11:26, Reply)

It'll be electronic
it'll be in the computer system. Can you scroll through trip/average mpg/average speed anywhere?

Mine's got that.
Fucking pointless. 6 speed dual clutch auto on a 1.9 diesel. All the fucking thing does is change gear.

I prefer a pedal and a proper gearshift myself
Less likely to go wrong, and less expensive to fix if it does.

I know, I only have it as a favour to my dad.
