I been told that you should always switch your auto stop start off, as why it may save you fuel, it can lead to engine damage is that true with my Mercedes?
Hey Martin, no that is not true. Engines that have start/stop technology have been designed with that in mind. Turning your engine on and off on a car that doesn’t have start/stop technology will of course do this but cars that have start/stop technology have starter motors and components that last 3-4 times longer to compensate for the extra starting. There have been many reports showing that if you are stationary for longer than 7 seconds, then it is worth using Start/Stop. You’ll actually gain miles per tankful and reduce your emissions in the process too!
I don’t know if you’ve ever made any videos about “parktronic” (I’m not sure on the spelling) and more info on the instrument cluster (not the settings that are interchangeable but the different symbols that will come on from time to time, since there’s a few that aren’t used in most other cars).
Thank you Nick, Your clear instructions, clear voice, and easy relaxed instructions have allowed me to adjust my vehicle for the Continental driving. Thank you very much you fantastic man
Well I had no idea! I drive on right side here in the US. I do not think I have that in my light settings. I know my lights are adaptive and they are so cool at night how they work and the signs above light up on the freeway when I go past them... awesome video!
Hi Nick. Thank you very much for your videos. As a proud owner of a Mercedes Benz E class, I have found your videos very informative and useful. Have you done a video on cleaning your car? What you should and should not use, etc? Thanks.
Hi Nick - thanks for all the videos. Brilliant. I have a 2020 B220d with MBUX and Multibeam LEDs. However, if I follow your instructions and go to the settings menu and then Lights, there is no Dipped Beam option. I do have intelligent light system so will I have to make any adjustments when I go to France in a couple of weeks? Thanks again - Johnny.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them! Just looked in the manual on my phone through MB Guides and this what it states for a B-Class Looks like you’re good to go! share.icloud.com/photos/05dyYtQob9j93k_x6wlYI6ItQ It’ll most likely have a “flat” beam already 🤓 Check with anyone who works at Mercedes in a dealer though if you want further clarification 🙏🤓 just make sure you have your reg handy Hope that helps!
Hi Nick, another great video. With MBUX and intelligent light system, if you forget to change to right side, the system will tell you when you start driving on that side of the road. How cool is that!!
@@npoleary I am afraid i didn't get that when i went abroad and i cant get the multibeam LED working at my car. I get too many complaints from the upcoming vehicles. The unfortunate thing is that i don't get such option to select which side of the road i am driving. I got a GLB 35 AMG 2020 model and the settings doesn't have te dipped beams option at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hey apostolos, if i recall compact cars don’t need adjustment due to the type of headlight used in them. You can be 100% sure to be on the safe side and double check with Mercedes (they can check on the chassis number or Reg) but I’m fairly certain they don’t need adjustment.
@@npoleary Hey Nick thank you for getting back to me. I thought this will be the case but I do get lots of complaints from oncoming traffic especially from truck drivers. It looks like that the multibeam LED doesn't really detect the other drivers as it supposed to do. My registration number is SV70 KHE in case you are able to check that for me. Is that reprogrammable or am i doomed?! 😊
Hey Apostolos, it depends on the situation on the road, Multibeam LED is just an assistance system and obviously can’t detect every situation on the road. One limitation is that it can’t take into account the terrain differences in height, so if you’re going travelling up/down a hill this could dazzle other road users. If you don’t think something’s right though just ask your local Mercedes to check it out. 🤓
Thanks Claudia! Ooo very nice! Ah already have on the GLB: ua-cam.com/video/ZoDMnL6z4J8/v-deo.html Although I haven’t heard of a 2023 one though, I can’t imagine it would change next year
Thank you! I would have thought it is possible…but before you go down that route, it’s very complicated and can be very expensive. You’ll have to do your own research though, (sadly dealers won’t do it as they only sell or fix cars per their original spec). To cut a long story short, I used to own a Vauxhall and that had halogen lights, but to install LED’s officially, they require new headlight housings which was very expensive. You can’t just put LED bulbs in as they scatter light in the wrong way and it’ll fail an MOT due to dazzling other drivers. Annoyingly further still, upgrading lights isn’t easily supported but the government and the MOT tests so the only way to do it is replacing the entire housing. Replacing headlight housings and possibly wiring for LED’s would costs thousands. But if you do go down that route you’ll have to chat to garages that specialise in that sort of thing. Sadly I’ve never done it so can’t recommend any, sorry!
Hi Nick. Great and helpful tutorial like always. I have a few suggestion, what you might consider: remote window close and open. Somehow, I'm not been able to work it out how does it work....but apparently is should. Also you can demonstrate the auto windows and pan roof closing when detects a rain (sprinkle a little water on the windscreen). And one more tip: unfortunately I was able to lock my car with an app and left the keys inside. This is not the best feature as when I opened it with the app and I didn't opened the door within 20sec the car locked itself back but the app was showing open (keys inside). But luckily refreshing the app solved the issue and was able to unlock it with the app and get my keys out.
Hey Mr Westcliffe, thank you! If you’ve got Remote Window open and close it should work however if it doesn’t I’d probably suggest getting in touch Mercedes me support who might be able to help remotely. With rain and the roof I’ve covered that one here on tip no 3: ua-cam.com/video/0znuEg-V8Do/v-deo.html Unlocking and locking always take a few seconds or so and might not work immediately afterward, you might have to wait up to 30 secs before sending it again
hi Nick...good vid! I've got a 2018 Sprinter van RV that I have just shipped to the UK from Canada. I need to change my headlights from right pointing to left to conform to UK standards. Some are wanting me to change the entire light fixtures to left pointing new ones...I'm not convinced this needs to be done! Do you know if I can adjust the dipping preference on my existing bi-xenons from right to left enough to conform? Thanks, Ian.
Hey Ian! Ah sounds interesting! Really sorry though I’ve never covered Mercedes commercial vans on my channel. Partly because my local dealer has never sold them from new. I might look to in the future though! And also I know it depends on the light system here in the UK, some have LED Lights which don’t need adjustment whereas some do. I’ve searched very quickly to see if I can find anything but couldn’t see anything written anywhere about it. Do you know what lights you have? Again sorry not sure if I’ll be able to help as the lights could be set up completely differently in other countries but I can try!
@@npoleary thank for your reply Nick, just thought I'd give you a try. I'll keep snooping around before I lay down my cash for a set of new ones that may conform. Thanks again!
Hi Nick!, First, congratulate you fo your great videos. I would like you to explain why not all features are available in all countries. As a example, I just received my new E-Class coupe and I had no chance to select multibeam LED. It’s not available in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany but it is in Spain, France and UK. Many thanks!
Hey Jose, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! I don’t know the exact reason but I’ve got a pretty good idea. It’s down to regulations etc where you live. For example in the USA, they have never been able to have Adaptive Headlights on any car up until very recently. Then you’ve got things for remote starting a car on Mercedes me available in the US but not in the UK. And then things like Dashcams in cars, until very recently in the UK wasn’t allowed for “inbuilt systems” from factory.
Hi Nick!. Thanks for your quick response. Do you think there might be an option to install original parts or as before (my previous one was a w204) nothing not factory built was possible to implement? I honestly see a huge difference between both options, mainly based on safety. thanks again and keep doing such a great videos. Regards.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Really sorry I wouldn’t know, Mercedes-Benz can’t install spec onto cars that wasn’t present originally at factory.
Hey Nick, I love your videos, they are really helpful! I’d like to ask you whether there is a way to turn your headlights completely off. For example, I am parked and I want to turn the headlights off so I won’t disturb anybody but I wanna keep the A/C on without switching the car off.
Hey RafaelCY, sadly no way to turn them off permanently but there is a work around…but you must remember to put your lights back afterward! Basically when the engine is on and the lights are set to AUTO, turn it all the way to the left and select one of the P modes as George said above. When the engine is on, it’ll switch off all exterior lights. When the engine is off, it’ll utilise the park lights.
Can you do a video when buying a car of the packages such as premium, premium plus and executive what is the difference? Can you also do them for Audi and Ben as it’s very confusing for these brands
Hey I’d love to but you’ll have to chat to Mercedes for that sort of thing. Specs vary throughout the world and quite often throughout the year so will be different. If you don’t want to chat to anyone, have a look at their brochures on their website, that’s where I get all my info from 👍🏼 it’s different for each model too! 😅
Hi Nick good video again. I have multibeam LED when I bought the car second hand I was flashed by oncoming cars on auto. Being an ex mechanic I adjusted myself and found they were actually adjusted way too low. Now I don’t get flashed! Maybe the auto movement of the lights being too low was upsetting oncoming cars. Strange but true.
I have a Spanish 2023 GLE with LED High Performance lights. I’ve been told by my local Mercedes garage that I have to change the headlights in order to import it to the UK. However, as you’ve mentioned on the video they are meant to be flat beam. When I look at the beam pattern it’s isn’t perfectly symmetrical and I realise that driving in the UK legally with the lights unaltered is different to the legal requirements for importing the vehicle. My question- do I really need to go to the expense of buying two new lights in order to import the car into the UK. NB/ rear fog already done.
Hey timothyreed455, ah very nice! Really sorry I wouldn’t know what specs are like in other countries, only thing I can suggest is to chat to Mercedes but it sounds like you’ve done that already. I know of course in the UK, there’s an MOT test and each country has their own “safety on road test” and their own thing they check for. Sorry I wouldn’t know on that one, I’d be suggesting to chat to Mercedes as they’re going to be the ones who can offer guidance.
Hi Nick, Great videos. Very helpful. Could you explain how to get my go key to know my profile. I have command ng. (2019 EClass Cabriolet) the dealer set up one key but I can’t get the other to do the same with the second profile.
Hey! Thank you! Keys in Mercedes are just a main and a spare, this no way to program them to profiles, it’s not something Mercedes do. In Mercedes when you get in the car, you select your profile on the screen. Having it this way allows up to 7 users instead of 2 as you’ll be limited to the number of keys.
Ah NTG 5.5 was basically Mercedes’s previous multimedia system called COMAND. It has a wheel in the middle to control the screen where as MBUX has a touchscreen and the voice assist Hey Mercedes 👍🏼 Sadly don’t have a video on that type of comparison as I only started making and producing UA-cam videos in 2020, COMAND is rarer now in dealers from I’ve seen (or last time I was there anyway)
It depends what equipment on the car you have. If you look at the inside of your light cluster for some text. It’ll say one of these two things normally. LED HIGH PERFORMANCE LIGHTS You shouldn’t need to adjust but I would advise to check with someone who works at Mercedes just to be 100% sure. INTELLIGENT LIGHT SYSTEM This (on that model) is adjustable on the steering wheel as far as I’m led to believe. It’ll be under something like, HOME, SETTINGS, LIGHTS and under one of those options. Again if you’re not sure chat to Mercedes but I hope that helps a a little! 🤓
Thanks for showing some of the details on Mercedes’ cars I have a250e winter we get less with a charge which you kindly explain due to cold Recently we went to Cornwall 270 miles drive on eco settings following day charge we got was 30 miles only once I have seen 36on a charge locally rural driving i do small drives which i can understand getting 25mph for 270 I should have got at least 40 plus and it was a warm day
Hey Terry it’s not just temperature that affects range it’s where you drive. To achieve that that range, you’d need to be constantly driving at speed with very little stopping. Most optimal speed is between 30mph and 50mph. Of course if you’re driving round town, it’ll be less than this and most likely due to traffic, you’d be stopping a lot more.
There are so many factors involved though with driving and working out your mpg / electric range. Things to factor in are your speed, use of climate control and of course ambient temperature. If you’re on a motorway travelling at 70mph, this isn’t the optimum speed to achieve the max range.
Hi Nick, I have watch many of your videos, It is really helpful. Could you let me know how to set windscreen washer direction on GLC 200? Thank you in advance. Regards, Iwan
Hey Iwan, thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos! Windscreen washer direction? All cars have them set when they’re made in the factory. If they’re not spraying in the right place, really sorry I’ve not worked on Mercedes in that way before so wouldn’t know what to suggest. Not even sure if they can be adjusted…Are they not working or something?
Hmmm if you don’t think they’re quite right, I’d suggest just getting in touch with your local Mercedes dealership and they should be able to point you in the right direction 🤓
Hey Korjiro, really sorry I wouldn’t know for sure, it depends what lighting system you have on the car and where’s abouts you’re based in the world. Sorry I can’t tell where anyone is from on here. If you’re based in the UK and you do not have adaptive full beam at nighttime (also known as MULTIBEAM LED), you won’t need to adjust the lights as they meet the requirements. Double check with your local Mercedes though as they can l check your spec sheet 🤓
Hi Nick. Any idea why dipped beam setup on my 2020 b class is missing? Lights are multibeam led and the only option in the light settings is Intelligent lighting system On/OFF. Thank you
If you check with Mercedes they can let you know for sure (they can check your spec on your car and let you know) However I’m pretty sure you don’t need to do anything on Mercedes compact cars. The legal requirements should be met when driving on the other side of the road.
Hi Nick thank you for these videos. I am about to buy a Mercedes A35 model 2019 RHD from UK with LED High Performance Headlamps with Integrated LED Daytime Running Lights and want to use it in Belgium and must pass the Belgium MOT. Are these headlights adjustable to LHD?
No worries thank you! Compact cars don’t usually need adjustment. If you’re not sure have a look in the car’s menu or speak with Mercedes and they can check for you but I’m pretty sure it’s good to go 👍🏼
Hello. I just tumbled on your channel and find your videos very informative BUT I need your help: Just bought a used but extra clean 2007 SLK350 and I would like to know how to have the speakers located behind the driver and passenger to work as the sound system says SURROUND in the controls but without any buttons or other controls to adjust it ????? Thanks.
Hey Patrick! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes I thought this too but in an SLK and SLC, there are only two speakers in those cars because there are only two seats. I thought the same when I drove one last and was playing around with the multimedia system. The perforated holes at the rear are not speakers and I guess are ventilation or something? You can confirm this by going onto your speaker settings and looking at the EQ menus where the Fader settings are. There is no option on that model of car to send audio to the rear (only left and right) because there aren’t any speakers in the back. Hope that helps!
I live in the UK. Great video. I have a question. The switching of the RST TO LSD does not work. When I change the setting in the dash menu on my 2022 Marco Polo with ILS it accepts the change until I turn the ignition on to drive. I get a message “de-activated” & the dipped beam icon disappears. I have tried this while in France & at home. Nobody I have spoken to at 3 dealerships can explain to me why it is not working. Just wondered if you could provide some advice please. This is so frustrating. Is there a 2nd line support at Mercedes. I have looked on most forums with no luck to resolve. Thanks Nick.
Hey Neilstirling919, Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! That’s not a fault, that’s just how Intelligent Light System works. Basically if you set the lights to the opposite side to which you drive on, some functions will not be available. All models with ILS will be like this, you can see the snippet in the manual here: “If you set the low beam for driving on the right or left, the display will show the Inactive for left-side traffic or Inactive for right-side traffic display message on the Lights submenu instead of Intelligent Light SystemMore. This display message will appear only if the setting for driving on the right or left is the opposite to your vehicle's national version.” I would imagine that the newer V-Class that’s been announced by Mercedes might have a newer light system which may be able to do both left side and right side traffic. Only seen the announcement so far, so will have to wait to see the specs and pricing for the newer one probably next year now.
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. I think I have my head around this now. When setting the lights to the opposite side of the country version I have it will only avoid dazzling other users on the road but will not do the complete ILS functions,ie: change the lighting when cornering or detect other vehicle lights etc.
Hi Nick. I can see you said Led High Performance lights don’t need adjusting from UK to Europe, but I want to double check that I don’t need to do absolutely nothing to lights (including putting that stickers) when going across Europe? Thank you in advance.
Hey! Ah awesome! I’d love to have one of those! 😅 Sadly as UA-cam is viewed by everyone all round the world, each video has to appeal to as many people as possible so here’s the full playlist of tips: ua-cam.com/play/PLyo-duQc8myqCIqf8E_-x-3dMZ50uKIHA.html&si=UldaD7ch_VrtvRa_ Look for anything that refers to MBUX NTG 6 or MBUX v1 or first gen MBUX (basically one with a touchpad in the middle) There’s loads like loads of videos on that multimedia system as it’s found in loads of Mercedes 🤓
are there any fine tune adjustments on these systems? I noticed my left beam seems way too low imho when I am driving on right side traffic. I am driving a rental e-klasse T-modell estate in Austria at the moment with the newest system.
Hey Lee, thanks for the suggestion! A bit tricky though as Mercedes dealerships near me only seem to have 167’s available (the newer GLE with the widescreen cockpit)
Hi Nick, 2023 A class 200 AMG executive: under lights I do not have " dipped beam" option...will my car be ok for European driving, or is there any other method of headlight adjustment. I have LED High performance lights. Thanks
Hey Paul! Best to check with Mercedes themselves for specs for your car as it can vary. However I have an A-Class that does not have MULTIBEAM LED and according to the manual it conforms to regulations in the EU as the beam is flat without the kick up feature. So if it’s the same, then you won’t need to do anything 🤓
Hi Nick, I’m planning on moving permanently to Spain and take the car with me and I have a mercedes a200 2021 with the multibeam led but cannot see the option on lights setting to switch it to the other side of the road. Will it do it automatically with the location? Thank you very much .
Ah nice! No A-Class’s I believe are all good, sadly I don’t have Multibeam LED on my car but I’m sure there isn’t a selection on those when I’ve checked them out before. I would suggest double checking with Mercedes to be 100% sure, they can check the spec etc 🤓
This has nothing to do this video but on our 2020 GLE with mbux, the air vents quiet down when it detects you are on a call. The fan speed is set to auto when this is happening. Maybe you can tell people about this in a later video?
If you don't have Dipped Beams in the menu then you probably have LED High Performance Headlights. What does it say on your headlight cluster on the outside of the car? 🤓
Hi Nick, I have a 2019 a35 AMG with multi beam LED lights. However there is no option for me to change the lights to the other side of the road. Which is a problem as I have brought the car to Germany from the UK Could this be due to my system needing to be upgraded ?
Ah nice! Well to be 100% sure check with Mercedes staff at a dealer and they can check the equipment on your car. Most of time though, as it’s what Mercedes call a Compact Car (A-Class, CLA, GLA etc) you don’t need to adjust them. Here’s a snippet from the manual for that year of car: share.icloud.com/photos/0e8p82ZG_YWsUB8Nct3v-Pjtw Just took a screenshot 👍🏼
Hey Nick, I have 2011 CLS 350 C218 which has full led lights (but not multi beam) and they have a kickup feature. When I go to the settigs I can switch between LHD/RHD option. But it does not flips the kickup to the other side but just lowers the beam pattern. Can you kindly help me figuring this out?
Ah okay really sorry, I only started covering Mercedes on my channel in 2020 (that’s when I launched it) so I have limited coverage on cars made prior to that. I have heard of Mercedes-Benz’s light system called ILS (Intelligent Light System) so it could be that one. I’m guessing it does that because it’s a previous gen light tech? Probably best to ask someone who works at Mercedes for that one, I asked my local dealer loads of questions before putting this video together 😅
How to adjust the focus distance , right now my GLE 300d 2021 model the beam lights focus shorter distance, means when I travel at high speed it might be a risk as I can see till say max 50 metres ahead, my other cards toyota, holden beams has high focus and I can see at least 80/90 m ahead
Hey Yashwant, most modern cars have LED Lights that self level so if you don’t think that it’s working get in touch with Mercedes, I’m sure they can help!
Hey ismaeel ahmed, really sorry I’m based in the UK, I wouldn’t know what services are available in other countries. Best thing to do is speak with your local Mercedes who can point you in the right direction 🤓
Hi Nick I've got Mercedes E class 2019 with intelligent headlights unfortunately Most other drivers they find my headlight so bright because it's bet high is there any way to put down headlight like Other car's headlight do when you can adjust it
Hey S, no sadly they self level depending on the weight distribution in the car, if you don’t think it’s right though just get in touch with Mercedes and they can take a look 👍🏼👍🏼
Does it affect the functionality of multi beam led? In my 2018 s class, it says intelligent light system deactivated for right handed traffic as I change the settings for RHD.
Yes I believe on some cars Multibeam LED will only work for the country it was made for. Changing the left side traffic to right side traffic just saves you having to use stickers on the headlights etc
How about a video on how to successfully navigate a car wash without setting off the car’s alarms, going into park and jamming up the car wash, and locking yourself out? The owners manual is incomprehensible about the procedure. And, yes, Unusually I hand wash my E350….but I would like to take a break but fear going to the car wash………help!
Could we try a video if your glasses get damaged by the air bag in car would that be ok For nick to try. Doing a video on that one firday would that be ok
Is it sumper to change your head lights in a different place Could nick do a video about if your wearing designer brand glasses can they get damaged by the airbags In your car/ if it goes off or we’ll I need to buy how new set of eye wear glasses just a thought for one of your new videos on firday nick Why not try it out because Andrew has Set of glasses so maybe just a thought for one of your videos good ideas I thought of
Aha thanks for the suggestion Andrew! Would be tricky to film, not sure Mercedes-Benz would let me set off an airbag! However if you’re curious, EURONCAP test virtually every car and there are videos on crash tests on each car: www.euroncap.com/en
I just bought a 2015 W205 with LED intelligent headlight system, it's a right hand side car (which is for left side traffic, e.g. UK, JPN). But when i drive it in right side traffic country (and adjust to right side traffic), it says the intelligent headlight system cannot be activated due to right hand side car... may i know anyway to activate it when driving in right side traffic country? thanks a lot.
I'm looking at buying a UK 2013 SLK 250 AMG which has ILS. Im going to import it into Spain (European SLKs are double the price and 3 x the mileage). Does anyone know if you change the ILS from Left Hand Traffic to Right Hand Traffic if it will pass the Spanish ITV (MOT equivalent). Thanks in advance.
Really sorry I wouldn’t know on that one I guess it depends if the test they do in Spain allows it. Not sure if you’ve got eyed up a local place in Spain but might be worth reaching out to a test centre? Or even a Mercedes dealer in Spain? 🤓 Just a thought 💭
MY 2022 GLE does this annoying thing where it forgets I selected auto and keeps changing to left/right every few days. this means I get an annoying warning msg that constantly keeps popping up till I select auto. Then few days later same thing again....
Ah awesome! Not seen one of those yet! I’m pretty sure it’ll have the same multimedia system though. Make sure you’re logged in and then from the home screen, tap on your profile and one of the settings in there is called “Protect Content”. First thing I turn off 🤓
Best to check with Mercedes directly so if you reach out to them, they’ll be able to let you know. (Should also be detailed in the manual too) 9 times out of 10, if you just have LED High Performance headlights and not adaptive full beam, you’re all set, you won’t need to do anything (no stickers or no adjustment).
If you have a suggestion guys for a future video, pop it below! ⬇
You never know, I might consider yours! 🤓
I been told that you should always switch your auto stop start off, as why it may save you fuel, it can lead to engine damage is that true with my Mercedes?
Hey Martin, no that is not true.
Engines that have start/stop technology have been designed with that in mind.
Turning your engine on and off on a car that doesn’t have start/stop technology will of course do this but cars that have start/stop technology have starter motors and components that last 3-4 times longer to compensate for the extra starting.
There have been many reports showing that if you are stationary for longer than 7 seconds, then it is worth using Start/Stop. You’ll actually gain miles per tankful and reduce your emissions in the process too!
Thanks Nick..
No worries 🤓
There is the option to turn it off though usually with a button if you don’t like it 👍🏼
I don’t know if you’ve ever made any videos about “parktronic” (I’m not sure on the spelling) and more info on the instrument cluster (not the settings that are interchangeable but the different symbols that will come on from time to time, since there’s a few that aren’t used in most other cars).
Great stuff again Nick, for duffers like me with MBUX, you can say "Hey Mercedes - go to Light settings " and hey presto, they appear!
Aha that’s a new one! Didn’t know that! 🤓
Thank you Nick, Your clear instructions, clear voice, and easy relaxed instructions have allowed me to adjust my vehicle for the Continental driving. Thank you very much you fantastic man
Awh thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! 😎
Only guy on UA-cam that could help me 🥳🥳
Hi Nick A warm thank you from the Netherlands! We are heading for England and just in time I saw your video so that we won't dazzle oncoming cars.
Ah amazing! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓🙏
Your videos are addictive, Nick! I just bought a Cls, I love it!
Thank you! Ooo very nice! A CLS! Love them! 😎
Hi Nick , thanks once again for such a straight forward and very informative video !! They are so useful
Thanks Andy! No worries! 🤓
Perfect video with understandable instructions...excellent as ever.
Thanks Chris! 🤓🙏
Wow! I’m learning so much about these cars thanks to your videos. 👍🏻
Thanks Robert! 🤓🙏
Great stuff Nick, so very clear and concise.
Thank you 🙏
Always helpful content 💪👍
Well I had no idea! I drive on right side here in the US. I do not think I have that in my light settings. I know my lights are adaptive and they are so cool at night how they work and the signs above light up on the freeway when I go past them... awesome video!
Great informative video as usual answers my earlier question thank you
Thanks Hamster! 🤓🙏
They look really cool head,lights
Hi Nick. Thank you very much for your videos. As a proud owner of a Mercedes Benz E class, I have found your videos very informative and useful. Have you done a video on cleaning your car? What you should and should not use, etc?
Thanks.
Thanks Nicholas! I’ll keep them coming!
No not yet, it’s in my list of potential future videos but haven’t considered it just yet. Maybe one day! 🤓
Hi Nick - thanks for all the videos. Brilliant.
I have a 2020 B220d with MBUX and Multibeam LEDs. However, if I follow your instructions and go to the settings menu and then Lights, there is no Dipped Beam option.
I do have intelligent light system so will I have to make any adjustments when I go to France in a couple of weeks?
Thanks again - Johnny.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
Just looked in the manual on my phone through MB Guides and this what it states for a B-Class
Looks like you’re good to go!
share.icloud.com/photos/05dyYtQob9j93k_x6wlYI6ItQ
It’ll most likely have a “flat” beam already 🤓
Check with anyone who works at Mercedes in a dealer though if you want further clarification 🙏🤓 just make sure you have your reg handy
Hope that helps!
@@npoleary it certainly does - thanks so much. MBUX is great but takes a bit of understanding. Your videos certainly help.
Very helpful thank you
Hi Nick, another great video. With MBUX and intelligent light system, if you forget to change to right side, the system will tell you when you start driving on that side of the road. How cool is that!!
Ah cool, never been abroad in a car with MBUX. Good to know! 🤓
@@npoleary I am afraid i didn't get that when i went abroad and i cant get the multibeam LED working at my car. I get too many complaints from the upcoming vehicles. The unfortunate thing is that i don't get such option to select which side of the road i am driving. I got a GLB 35 AMG 2020 model and the settings doesn't have te dipped beams option at all. Any help would be much appreciated.
Hey apostolos, if i recall compact cars don’t need adjustment due to the type of headlight used in them.
You can be 100% sure to be on the safe side and double check with Mercedes (they can check on the chassis number or Reg) but I’m fairly certain they don’t need adjustment.
@@npoleary Hey Nick thank you for getting back to me. I thought this will be the case but I do get lots of complaints from oncoming traffic especially from truck drivers. It looks like that the multibeam LED doesn't really detect the other drivers as it supposed to do. My registration number is SV70 KHE in case you are able to check that for me. Is that reprogrammable or am i doomed?! 😊
Hey Apostolos, it depends on the situation on the road, Multibeam LED is just an assistance system and obviously can’t detect every situation on the road. One limitation is that it can’t take into account the terrain differences in height, so if you’re going travelling up/down a hill this could dazzle other road users.
If you don’t think something’s right though just ask your local Mercedes to check it out. 🤓
Love your videos. I have learned a bunch. I ordered a 2023 GLB 250 4matic. Can you please make a video? This is my 3rd Mercedes
Thanks Claudia! Ooo very nice! Ah already have on the GLB: ua-cam.com/video/ZoDMnL6z4J8/v-deo.html
Although I haven’t heard of a 2023 one though, I can’t imagine it would change next year
Hi Nick, good information thanks 🙏
Thanks Jag! 🤓🙏
That last comment saved an argument with my wife🤭cheers Nick.👍
Aha no worries! Thought I’d add that at the end to avoid confusion! 😅
Thanks, Nick. Love your videos. Is it possible to install LED headlights (or turn signal, etc.) into a non-LED 2019 GLA250?
Thank you! I would have thought it is possible…but before you go down that route, it’s very complicated and can be very expensive.
You’ll have to do your own research though, (sadly dealers won’t do it as they only sell or fix cars per their original spec).
To cut a long story short, I used to own a Vauxhall and that had halogen lights, but to install LED’s officially, they require new headlight housings which was very expensive. You can’t just put LED bulbs in as they scatter light in the wrong way and it’ll fail an MOT due to dazzling other drivers. Annoyingly further still, upgrading lights isn’t easily supported but the government and the MOT tests so the only way to do it is replacing the entire housing.
Replacing headlight housings and possibly wiring for LED’s would costs thousands. But if you do go down that route you’ll have to chat to garages that specialise in that sort of thing.
Sadly I’ve never done it so can’t recommend any, sorry!
@@npoleary Thanks for replying. I may just forego that idea. Really appreciate your reply and your videos!
Thank you so much Nick 💓
No worries! 🤓🙏
Hi Nick. Great and helpful tutorial like always.
I have a few suggestion, what you might consider: remote window close and open. Somehow, I'm not been able to work it out how does it work....but apparently is should. Also you can demonstrate the auto windows and pan roof closing when detects a rain (sprinkle a little water on the windscreen). And one more tip: unfortunately I was able to lock my car with an app and left the keys inside. This is not the best feature as when I opened it with the app and I didn't opened the door within 20sec the car locked itself back but the app was showing open (keys inside). But luckily refreshing the app solved the issue and was able to unlock it with the app and get my keys out.
Hey Mr Westcliffe, thank you!
If you’ve got Remote Window open and close it should work however if it doesn’t I’d probably suggest getting in touch Mercedes me support who might be able to help remotely.
With rain and the roof I’ve covered that one here on tip no 3: ua-cam.com/video/0znuEg-V8Do/v-deo.html
Unlocking and locking always take a few seconds or so and might not work immediately afterward, you might have to wait up to 30 secs before sending it again
@@npoleary sorry somehow I missed that tutorial well explained just as I thought...
No worries 🤓
Thanks Nick
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤓
hi Nick...good vid! I've got a 2018 Sprinter van RV that I have just shipped to the UK from Canada. I need to change my headlights from right pointing to left to conform to UK standards. Some are wanting me to change the entire light fixtures to left pointing new ones...I'm not convinced this needs to be done! Do you know if I can adjust the dipping preference on my existing bi-xenons from right to left enough to conform? Thanks, Ian.
Hey Ian! Ah sounds interesting! Really sorry though I’ve never covered Mercedes commercial vans on my channel. Partly because my local dealer has never sold them from new. I might look to in the future though!
And also I know it depends on the light system here in the UK, some have LED Lights which don’t need adjustment whereas some do. I’ve searched very quickly to see if I can find anything but couldn’t see anything written anywhere about it.
Do you know what lights you have?
Again sorry not sure if I’ll be able to help as the lights could be set up completely differently in other countries but I can try!
@@npoleary thank for your reply Nick, just thought I'd give you a try. I'll keep snooping around before I lay down my cash for a set of new ones that may
conform. Thanks again!
Hi Nick!, First, congratulate you fo your great videos. I would like you to explain why not all features are available in all countries. As a example, I just received my new E-Class coupe and I had no chance to select multibeam LED. It’s not available in Belgium, The Netherlands and Germany but it is in Spain, France and UK. Many thanks!
Hey Jose, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
I don’t know the exact reason but I’ve got a pretty good idea.
It’s down to regulations etc where you live. For example in the USA, they have never been able to have Adaptive Headlights on any car up until very recently. Then you’ve got things for remote starting a car on Mercedes me available in the US but not in the UK. And then things like Dashcams in cars, until very recently in the UK wasn’t allowed for “inbuilt systems” from factory.
Hi Nick!. Thanks for your quick response. Do you think there might be an option to install original parts or as before (my previous one was a w204) nothing not factory built was possible to implement? I honestly see a huge difference between both options, mainly based on safety. thanks again and keep doing such a great videos. Regards.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Really sorry I wouldn’t know, Mercedes-Benz can’t install spec onto cars that wasn’t present originally at factory.
Hey Nick, I love your videos, they are really helpful! I’d like to ask you whether there is a way to turn your headlights completely off. For example, I am parked and I want to turn the headlights off so I won’t disturb anybody but I wanna keep the A/C on without switching the car off.
Try this, with the engine running, turn the lights knob to position P.
Hey RafaelCY, sadly no way to turn them off permanently but there is a work around…but you must remember to put your lights back afterward!
Basically when the engine is on and the lights are set to AUTO, turn it all the way to the left and select one of the P modes as George said above.
When the engine is on, it’ll switch off all exterior lights. When the engine is off, it’ll utilise the park lights.
Can you do a video when buying a car of the packages such as premium, premium plus and executive what is the difference?
Can you also do them for Audi and Ben as it’s very confusing for these brands
Hey I’d love to but you’ll have to chat to Mercedes for that sort of thing. Specs vary throughout the world and quite often throughout the year so will be different.
If you don’t want to chat to anyone, have a look at their brochures on their website, that’s where I get all my info from 👍🏼 it’s different for each model too! 😅
Super!
Thankyou 👍👍👍👍❤️
Hi Nick good video again. I have multibeam LED when I bought the car second hand I was flashed by oncoming cars on auto. Being an ex mechanic I adjusted myself and found they were actually adjusted way too low. Now I don’t get flashed! Maybe the auto movement of the lights being too low was upsetting oncoming cars. Strange but true.
Thank you Stuart! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Ah good to know!
How did you adjust that Stuart?
@@apostolos4747 There are manual adjusters at the rear of light that adjust the whole unit up/down and another left/right
I have a Spanish 2023 GLE with LED High Performance lights. I’ve been told by my local Mercedes garage that I have to change the headlights in order to import it to the UK. However, as you’ve mentioned on the video they are meant to be flat beam.
When I look at the beam pattern it’s isn’t perfectly symmetrical and I realise that driving in the UK legally with the lights unaltered is different to the legal requirements for importing the vehicle.
My question- do I really need to go to the expense of buying two new lights in order to import the car into the UK.
NB/ rear fog already done.
Hey timothyreed455, ah very nice!
Really sorry I wouldn’t know what specs are like in other countries, only thing I can suggest is to chat to Mercedes but it sounds like you’ve done that already.
I know of course in the UK, there’s an MOT test and each country has their own “safety on road test” and their own thing they check for.
Sorry I wouldn’t know on that one, I’d be suggesting to chat to Mercedes as they’re going to be the ones who can offer guidance.
Hi Nick,
Great videos. Very helpful.
Could you explain how to get my go key to know my profile. I have command ng. (2019 EClass Cabriolet) the dealer set up one key but I can’t get the other to do the same with the second profile.
Hey! Thank you!
Keys in Mercedes are just a main and a spare, this no way to program them to profiles, it’s not something Mercedes do.
In Mercedes when you get in the car, you select your profile on the screen. Having it this way allows up to 7 users instead of 2 as you’ll be limited to the number of keys.
Can you make video or maybe got already. Whats the difference between mbux -ntg5.5?
Ah NTG 5.5 was basically Mercedes’s previous multimedia system called COMAND. It has a wheel in the middle to control the screen where as MBUX has a touchscreen and the voice assist Hey Mercedes 👍🏼
Sadly don’t have a video on that type of comparison as I only started making and producing UA-cam videos in 2020, COMAND is rarer now in dealers from I’ve seen (or last time I was there anyway)
I swear I can't find my settings. It's a C-Class C250D W205. Where do I find those settings?
It depends what equipment on the car you have. If you look at the inside of your light cluster for some text. It’ll say one of these two things normally.
LED HIGH PERFORMANCE LIGHTS
You shouldn’t need to adjust but I would advise to check with someone who works at Mercedes just to be 100% sure.
INTELLIGENT LIGHT SYSTEM
This (on that model) is adjustable on the steering wheel as far as I’m led to believe. It’ll be under something like, HOME, SETTINGS, LIGHTS and under one of those options.
Again if you’re not sure chat to Mercedes but I hope that helps a a little! 🤓
Thanks for showing some of the details on Mercedes’ cars I have a250e winter we get less with a charge which you kindly explain due to cold
Recently we went to Cornwall 270 miles drive on eco settings following day charge we got was 30 miles only once I have seen 36on a charge locally rural driving i do small drives which i can understand getting 25mph for 270 I should have got at least 40 plus and it was a warm day
Hey Terry it’s not just temperature that affects range it’s where you drive.
To achieve that that range, you’d need to be constantly driving at speed with very little stopping.
Most optimal speed is between 30mph and 50mph.
Of course if you’re driving round town, it’ll be less than this and most likely due to traffic, you’d be stopping a lot more.
@@npoleary Hi Nick you say where you drive I drove at least 265 on the M5 constant drive when charged for following day only 30 miles not 40 or 50
There are so many factors involved though with driving and working out your mpg / electric range.
Things to factor in are your speed, use of climate control and of course ambient temperature. If you’re on a motorway travelling at 70mph, this isn’t the optimum speed to achieve the max range.
Hi Nick, I have watch many of your videos, It is really helpful. Could you let me know how to set windscreen washer direction on GLC 200? Thank you in advance. Regards, Iwan
Hey Iwan, thank you! Glad you’re loving the videos!
Windscreen washer direction? All cars have them set when they’re made in the factory.
If they’re not spraying in the right place, really sorry I’ve not worked on Mercedes in that way before so wouldn’t know what to suggest. Not even sure if they can be adjusted…Are they not working or something?
They are working fine, it seems to high, so motorcycle beside got sprayed as well :)
Hmmm if you don’t think they’re quite right, I’d suggest just getting in touch with your local Mercedes dealership and they should be able to point you in the right direction 🤓
ok I will. Thank you.
Hi Nick, can you help with the 2020 A 200 AMG line executive, do the headlights auto adjust i'm traveling to France thanks for the help.
Hey Korjiro, really sorry I wouldn’t know for sure, it depends what lighting system you have on the car and where’s abouts you’re based in the world. Sorry I can’t tell where anyone is from on here.
If you’re based in the UK and you do not have adaptive full beam at nighttime (also known as MULTIBEAM LED), you won’t need to adjust the lights as they meet the requirements.
Double check with your local Mercedes though as they can l check your spec sheet 🤓
Hi Nick. Any idea why dipped beam setup on my 2020 b class is missing? Lights are multibeam led and the only option in the light settings is Intelligent lighting system On/OFF. Thank you
If you check with Mercedes they can let you know for sure (they can check your spec on your car and let you know)
However I’m pretty sure you don’t need to do anything on Mercedes compact cars. The legal requirements should be met when driving on the other side of the road.
Hi Nick thank you for these videos. I am about to buy a Mercedes A35 model 2019 RHD from UK with LED High Performance Headlamps with Integrated LED Daytime Running Lights and want to use it in Belgium and must pass the Belgium MOT. Are these headlights adjustable to LHD?
No worries thank you! Compact cars don’t usually need adjustment.
If you’re not sure have a look in the car’s menu or speak with Mercedes and they can check for you but I’m pretty sure it’s good to go 👍🏼
Hello. I just tumbled on your channel and find your videos very informative BUT I need your help: Just bought a used but extra clean 2007 SLK350 and I would like to know how to have the speakers located behind the driver and passenger to work as the sound system says SURROUND in the controls but without any buttons or other controls to adjust it ????? Thanks.
Hey Patrick! Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
Yes I thought this too but in an SLK and SLC, there are only two speakers in those cars because there are only two seats. I thought the same when I drove one last and was playing around with the multimedia system. The perforated holes at the rear are not speakers and I guess are ventilation or something?
You can confirm this by going onto your speaker settings and looking at the EQ menus where the Fader settings are. There is no option on that model of car to send audio to the rear (only left and right) because there aren’t any speakers in the back.
Hope that helps!
I live in the UK. Great video. I have a question. The switching of the RST TO LSD does not work. When I change the setting in the dash menu on my 2022 Marco Polo with ILS it accepts the change until I turn the ignition on to drive. I get a message “de-activated” & the dipped beam icon disappears. I have tried this while in France & at home. Nobody I have spoken to at 3 dealerships can explain to me why it is not working. Just wondered if you could provide some advice please. This is so frustrating. Is there a 2nd line support at Mercedes. I have looked on most forums with no luck to resolve. Thanks Nick.
Hey Neilstirling919,
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s not a fault, that’s just how Intelligent Light System works.
Basically if you set the lights to the opposite side to which you drive on, some functions will not be available. All models with ILS will be like this, you can see the snippet in the manual here:
“If you set the low beam for driving on the right or left, the display will show the Inactive for left-side traffic or Inactive for right-side traffic display message on the Lights submenu instead of Intelligent Light SystemMore. This display message will appear only if the setting for driving on the right or left is the opposite to your vehicle's national version.”
I would imagine that the newer V-Class that’s been announced by Mercedes might have a newer light system which may be able to do both left side and right side traffic. Only seen the announcement so far, so will have to wait to see the specs and pricing for the newer one probably next year now.
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. I think I have my head around this now. When setting the lights to the opposite side of the country version I have it will only avoid dazzling other users on the road but will not do the complete ILS functions,ie: change the lighting when cornering or detect other vehicle lights etc.
Hi Nick.
I can see you said Led High Performance lights don’t need adjusting from UK to Europe, but I want to double check that I don’t need to do absolutely nothing to lights (including putting that stickers) when going across Europe?
Thank you in advance.
Hey Antun, that’s right LED High Performance lights do not have the “Kick up” feature and have a flat beam. So they can be used everywhere 🤓
@@npoleary Thank you very much….
Can you do a video on tips on a a35 as I have a 2021 thanks

There’s loads like loads of videos on that multimedia system as it’s found in loads of Mercedes 🤓
are there any fine tune adjustments on these systems? I noticed my left beam seems way too low imho when I am driving on right side traffic. I am driving a rental e-klasse T-modell estate in Austria at the moment with the newest system.
Hey Geers, no they do self level when switching on (for the load of the car) but sadly no fine tune adjustments as they are set at factory.
Nick could you do a couple of videos on the 166 please
Hey Lee, thanks for the suggestion! A bit tricky though as Mercedes dealerships near me only seem to have 167’s available (the newer GLE with the widescreen cockpit)
Hi Nick, 2023 A class 200 AMG executive: under lights I do not have " dipped beam" option...will my car be ok for European driving, or is there any other method of headlight adjustment. I have LED High performance lights.
Thanks
Hey Paul! Best to check with Mercedes themselves for specs for your car as it can vary.
However I have an A-Class that does not have MULTIBEAM LED and according to the manual it conforms to regulations in the EU as the beam is flat without the kick up feature. So if it’s the same, then you won’t need to do anything 🤓
@@npolearythanks again for prompt reply 👍👏
Could we try it wouldn’t it be so cool to try the light lights in a different place with Mercedes Benz car nick
Hi Nick, I’m planning on moving permanently to Spain and take the car with me and I have a mercedes a200 2021 with the multibeam led but cannot see the option on lights setting to switch it to the other side of the road. Will it do it automatically with the location? Thank you very much .
Ah nice! No A-Class’s I believe are all good, sadly I don’t have Multibeam LED on my car but I’m sure there isn’t a selection on those when I’ve checked them out before.
I would suggest double checking with Mercedes to be 100% sure, they can check the spec etc 🤓
Thank you for your help👍🏻😊 really enjoy your videos 👏🏻👏🏻
This has nothing to do this video but on our 2020 GLE with mbux, the air vents quiet down when it detects you are on a call. The fan speed is set to auto when this is happening. Maybe you can tell people about this in a later video?

Mighty have to mention it again 👀
Thank you. I have an MB E400d 4matic AMG line Nightline march 2022. I can't see the "dipped beam" in the lights menu. Any suggestion?
If you don't have Dipped Beams in the menu then you probably have LED High Performance Headlights. What does it say on your headlight cluster on the outside of the car? 🤓
Hi Nick, I have a 2019 a35 AMG with multi beam LED lights. However there is no option for me to change the lights to the other side of the road. Which is a problem as I have brought the car to Germany from the UK
Could this be due to my system needing to be upgraded ?
Ah nice! Well to be 100% sure check with Mercedes staff at a dealer and they can check the equipment on your car.
Most of time though, as it’s what Mercedes call a Compact Car (A-Class, CLA, GLA etc) you don’t need to adjust them.
Here’s a snippet from the manual for that year of car: share.icloud.com/photos/0e8p82ZG_YWsUB8Nct3v-Pjtw

But it does not flips the kickup to the other side but just lowers the beam pattern. Can you kindly help me figuring this out?
Ah okay really sorry, I only started covering Mercedes on my channel in 2020 (that’s when I launched it) so I have limited coverage on cars made prior to that. I have heard of Mercedes-Benz’s light system called ILS (Intelligent Light System) so it could be that one. I’m guessing it does that because it’s a previous gen light tech? Probably best to ask someone who works at Mercedes for that one, I asked my local dealer loads of questions before putting this video together 😅
@@npoleary Thank you for your response. No problem. In your case did you see if the kicker got inverted?
I don’t believe that they had one (from what I saw anyway)
How to adjust the focus distance , right now my GLE 300d 2021 model the beam lights focus shorter distance, means when I travel at high speed it might be a risk as I can see till say max 50 metres ahead, my other cards toyota, holden beams has high focus and I can see at least 80/90 m ahead

Hi Nick I've got Mercedes E class 2019 with intelligent headlights unfortunately Most other drivers they find my headlight so bright because it's bet high is there any way to put down headlight like Other car's headlight do when you can adjust it
Hey S, no sadly they self level depending on the weight distribution in the car, if you don’t think it’s right though just get in touch with Mercedes and they can take a look 👍🏼👍🏼
Does it affect the functionality of multi beam led? In my 2018 s class, it says intelligent light system deactivated for right handed traffic as I change the settings for RHD.
Yes I believe on some cars Multibeam LED will only work for the country it was made for. Changing the left side traffic to right side traffic just saves you having to use stickers on the headlights etc
Also how do u turn off the lights when unlocking and locking the vehicle tia

I guess it depends if the test they do in Spain allows it. Not sure if you’ve got eyed up a local place in Spain but might be worth reaching out to a test centre? Or even a Mercedes dealer in Spain? 🤓 Just a thought 💭

Best to check with Mercedes directly so if you reach out to them, they’ll be able to let you know. (Should also be detailed in the manual too)
9 times out of 10, if you just have LED High Performance headlights and not adaptive full beam, you’re all set, you won’t need to do anything (no stickers or no adjustment).
