REST button is for the winter. When you stop the car push the rest before you get out and the heater fan stays on low and the water pump in the engine turns round slowly as well. It gets the car warm for 30 minutes for short stops.

The rest button on the AC is for when you are parked up,say on a school run and if it's really cold like it is here in Ireland, it will keep u warm or in summer, cool, when the car is switched off...the air con or and heater's will work for up to 20 minute's with out using up the batteries life....

A/C REST ....This is a feature that utilises the residual heat in the engine cooling system to keep the cabin interior warm after the (hot) engine is switched off..., with the engine 'off', press the 'rest' button and the heater will keep the interier warm for about half an hour after which it will switch off when either the coolent temp has dropped below a certain temperature, or, if the battery voltage drops below a pre-set level. It will function even if the keys are removed from the ignition.

Simply put, the REST button in your car can be pressed when the engine is no longer running and the heating has switched off. The REST button enables residual heat from the engine and cooling system to be blown into the cabin to continue to heat the interior of the car.

I was recently in the market for a new car and I crossed off a few models because of fake exhaust pipes... Not saying it's a smart decision by any means, it's just me :-) Plus, I just sold a 2017 Mercedes C Class that I had for the last 3 years and I didn't really like the quality of fit and finish, they really are skimping on quality in a lot of areas. It didn't bother me much during the test drive but the offset steering wheel in right hand drive models really gave me the s#!ts on long drives... Is that still the case? Is the steering wheel still not in the center but a few centimetres to the left?

Fake exhaust is a designers idea, the engineering department for sure hates it. For the motoring purist (like me), don't like it, but manufactures aim this model (with fake exhaust) to majority of drivers, they just want the car to look good, they don't care if its fake or not, most buyers probably wouldn't even know that it is fake. This trend is the same with other luxury brands, even the Asian made ones. To get a proper exhaust, you need to go one model up e.g. sporty model, in the GLA case GLA35 or 45s. You're not getting just the real exhaust but higher output engine and some additional extras that are otherwise options in lower model, at a price though. The European luxury brands uses the same concept, e.g. lower models - fake exhaust, high-end / high engine output model, real exhaust.
