Introduction of the New E-Class, Model Series 212 Sedan
Center console
Continuing down from the bottom section of the
center tower of the instrument panel is the start of the
transition to the center console.
There are two versions of center console:
• In vehicles with 6-speed manual transmission or
5-speed automatic transmission, the gearshift /
selector lever is located in the center console.
• In vehicles with 7-speed automatic transmission,
there is no selector lever in the center console
because the DIRECT SELECT lever is installed on
the steering column tube module of the steering
wheel.
The center consoles differ in the number and location
of the stowage compartments, in the position of the
central controller and in the shape of the armrests for
the driver and front passenger.
The storage compartments under the armrest and the
location of the telephone also vary between the two
versions of center console.
