"No Benz review is complete without an objection to the turn signal stalk location. Whenever I drive these cars I usually hit the cruise control the first few times I look for the turn signals, because the signal stalk is located too far down on the left side of the wheel. That, and the fact that it’s combined with the wiper controls in a most counterintuitive way; and there’s nothing on the right side of the wheel, which just happens to be a great place for a wiper stalk."
I've never had a problem with this. Many people complain about this for some reason. I always ask myself: "HUH?"
I signal when I turn, I use cruise control when I need it. I
never confuse the signal or cruise control stalks.
