Wow, if you need that video to figure out your turn signals, you shouldn't be driving. Chrysler has had that lane change feature for years.

I will admit I hate how they jam too much junk on one stalk (prefer the honda/bmw/almost everyone else/etc. setup where signals are left and wipers are right).

Basically the one stalk has a ginormous number of "things":

Signal left
Lane change left
Signal right
Lane change right
High beam flash
High beam on
Wiper mist
Wiper wash front
Wiper off
Wiper rain sensing low
Wiper rain sensing high
Wiper on
Wiper on (high speed)....at least I think so...
Rear wiper off
Rear wiper on
Rear wiper mist (x2)

Thank god the lights are on a separate knob and are automatic so no issues.

Why can't Mercedes put the stalk 90 degrees instead of at 75 or whatever it is, annoying!
