Display in C or F?

[darius]

Ok...mom is from Germany and at a very early age made sure I learned Celcius as well as Fahrenheit. This has been invaluable. Passengers riding in my 190E however seem a bit confused when I set the Climate Control Setting on 21 or 22 and complain about our damned hot and humid 35C+ current temps.

Why is it that my outside temp display and my climate control are in C...and I see so many cars with them in F? What was the logic/pattern behind MBs branding of temperature measurements.

BTW, This car was imported into CT, USA brand new.

Thanks, as always,

- John
