  • 8 Easy tips and tricks for using paddle shifters in an automatic transmission. Tips for using manual mode in and automatic gear box.
    This video features the C43 AMG which is one of the AMG performance versions of the Mercedes C Class. My car is the 2019 C43 AMG Saloon or the C43 AMG Sedan for those across the pond :)
    The C43 gives you that great AMG sound from the AMG performance and also the luxury of a Mercedes Benz
    This is the W205 Class. The 2019 C43 AMG
    If you like this car also check out some of the other great Mercedes AMG models:

    On Mercedes, if you hold down left (downshift) paddle shifter while cruising, it will automatically select the best gear for overtaking (passing). But keep in mind, it will go into manual mode and you will have to shift up if necessary!
    For example you are cruising at 1600RPM, there is a vehicle in front of you and you wait for the perfect moment to overtake, hold down left paddle shifter and gearbox will select gear around 3000-4000RPM (depends on engine Diesel or Petrol), of you are ready to go.
    Tested on Mercedes C class 220D (S205 2015)

    Huge tip for winter driving: when in snowy conditions and at a complete stop, shift into 2nd gear. You will minimize torque when you hit the gas and have a smoother take off.

      Or… just select “slippery” mode [❄️]

    Tip 7 is my favorite - don't be afraid. I just got an AMG GLC43 and I never really driven with paddle shifters before and I'm hesitant because the sound of down shifting makes me feel like it's ruining the engine. Thanks for the encouragement.

    From years of experience driving on snow and ice with Nisan GTR35 and MB GLS63, I've found it much safer to just using "slippery" mode than using manual mode. In fact, it may be dangerous downshifting in slippery conditions as the sudden deceleration may trigger a slide.

    in the a45s, not sure about others, while in launch control, you can hold right paddle shift, and while you do take note of the display you'll see a popup showing increasing revs indicator before launching. it's pretty cool

    Nice video! I am fairly new to owning a Mercedes as well. I got a steal a year ago and purchase my 2012 C250 coupe for 14k off an elderly couple who hardly drove it as they couldn't get in and out of it lol. Well, it was loaner car from Gilbert AZ. So I'm the second owner...No regrets what's so ever!
    I'm glad I started off with an entry level Mercedes. Maintenance is actually pretty cheap on this one.
    I've been a little hesitant in fully flooring it while shifting paddles. I just started playing with it more and watching videos like this encourages me not to be scared to put my engine and transmission to work.

    What a great tips and tricks video!
    I have always been a VW owner for many yrs and all have been manual gear boxes.
    Just recently I purchased my first ever AMG A35 . Ok it’s a step on the first run of the ladder of an AMG.
    I have had the car a few months now but always kept the car in automatic mode.
    I’m basically worried about using manual mode as fear of messing up my gears or doing damage without realising it .
    I do believe some makes and models will get you out of trouble should you select wrong gearing by automatically going back into auto mode.
    This however I believe isn’t available on the Mercedes range.
    I know I’m excessively worried about using manual but as stressed I don’t want to put stress on the engine if ever I did something silly.
    Any advice would be really appreciated thank you 😊

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  Рік тому +1

      Hey Paul, not to worry! It can be intimidating at first especially since there's so many gears! I own a CLA45s now and I am going to be doing a full in-depth guide to safely and effectively using the paddles using the CLA45s. It will hopefully be really helpful if your a A35 owner. il admit though I've not started filming this yet but I really want to put it together this year. Lot's of videos in the works but I know a lot would like to see this one. Great choice by the way with the A35, even though they aren't as powerful and full on as the main AMG's It's still a crackling car, very underrated! Hope you are enjoying it.

      I did originally have my heart set on an AMG A45s.
      But unfortunately I was dreaming as they are well out of my budget, but as you stated the A35 is a good car even if it’s down on power.
      Personally for me stepping out of a VW into a Mercedes it’s like night and day. Although the VW has some premium touches the Mercedes is certainly streets ahead.

    I'm waiting for delivery of a Merc with one of these gearboxes and I have a question. I've always had manuals before, and when on the motorway in a car with decent torque, I often squeeze the accelerator hard without shifting down, if the in gear acceleration is sufficient for the occasion. Is it possible to make one of these gearboxes not downshift when you press the pedal hard, if you don't want it to?

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Richard, in full auto mode the car will very quickly downshift under hard acceleration depending on the gear and drive mode. In comfort mode it will be more likely to hold the gear while sport+ will quickly downshift to third gear. But in full manual paddle mode you will be able to hold the gear as you accelerate similar to your current manual. If your car doesn't have a manual button you should still be able to set up a full manual mode in the individual config. Hope this all helps :)

    I have a burble tune on my 2017 C300 Coupe. I notice that when I go from Gear 3 to 2, I let go of the gas and then downshift for the pops, but sometimes i see that it keeps popping lol. is there a way to stop the continuous popping? Should i just slow down and let off the gas or down shift to gear 1?

      Hey David, thanks! I’d recommend getting one with 3m tape if your worried about them falling off. It should not budge. I spent an hour this weekend getting a 3m taped window mount off my windscreen, it was stuck so solid. Thought I’d never remove it that glue is so strong but kept going using dental flow and old credit cards 😅. I have heard the ones on www.dsg-paddles.com are good.

    I have a question. If im in lets say 4th gear and for some reason i had to come to a full stop and didnt have time to down shift, is it okay to get to a full stop while still in 4th gear then downshift after i have already stopped? or should i downshift till the first gear before i eventually reach a full stop?

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  Рік тому

      Hey no problem! Most cars should jump to 1st gear for you once you stop if you forget. If not should be fine to downshift to 1st once stopped.

    Hi, interesting about the emotion start, my gla45s only only does so when the car warmed up, not cold start or any time. Is it normal? 🤔

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  Рік тому +1

      Hey Lam, Yep this is normal on the 45s. It's because the M139 engine has a safety system to limit it till temps are up. There's a little blue icon top right of the digital dash, If that's there it means the temps are not high enough and It will actually limit the cars power. I tried it and it's amazing how slow it felt compared to normal. I'm guessing this applies sadly to emotion start. Otherwise I'd do it every startup! :(
