Thanks all, I appreciate the knowledge and good conversation about the vehicles we all enjoy.

Since there is no mechanical stop to the switch (a la the American style), it's relatively easy to turn the switch one click too far. Obviously, the owner was a neubee.
Older Benzes, like the 190SL I owned 35 years ago had a single position to the left of "off", plus a "mystery" toggle switch on the dash to select left or right.
I remember using them one evening when my wife and I stopped by the library. We come out and some do gooder on a bicycle is leaning in over the 190SL's driver's door flipping and turning switches at random trying to "save" me from a dead battery.
