This is dumb question. What these buttons on the console of a '97 C280
1. a Small tiny button with a slider having a man on one side and a dot on the other.It's right below the driver power window switch. The button pops out of console, and I think it's not working. Any ideas where I can get one or if I even need one?
2. On the Climate control there is a REST buttons that only comes on if you press it when the car is off. It shows 72 degrees F and "auto" when the button is pressed.

Answer:

1. Child safety switch

2. Rest button is used to warm up the
car's interior to 72 deg using the engine's temp. without having to run
the car's engine. - This is especially helpful during cold winter months while sitting in the car waiting or hanging out.
