Srs light comes on. Had vehicle scanned and appears to be the passenger side air bag but doesn't say which one. After deleting the code, the light stays off until someone rides with me. Once they get out the light comes on. The digital ring on the dash that is associated with the cruise control flashes in sections and intermittently. Cannot find any code or reason for this problem anywhere. Not internet and no code stored.

2007 and other Mercedes Benz vehicles cruise control lever [stalk] is installed just above turn signal lever. There is no "on/off" control for the m-b cruise control. The 'stalk' type lever is 'always active' and ready to engage the cruise control. It is all too easy to confuse the cruise control lever with the turn signal lever due to their proximity. Intending to signal right turn, if a driver mistakenly engages the cruise control lever in the "up" position, the driver has mistakenly engaged the cruise control "acceleration" mode which obvious result could lead to an accident,with injuries and deaths. Since I have owned this vehicle [2007 m-b clk 350] on 2/8/10, I have engaged the cruise control lever many times intending to signal 'right turn'. The vehicle began to accelerate and I was compelled to hit the brakes to avoid a collision. I realized what I has done and I do blame m-benz for placing the cruise control lever just above the turn signal lever causing easy confusion when you are trying to keep your eyes on the road and not looking for which 'lever' to engage.
