Picked up my first ever Mercedes earlier this afternoon and blown away with the buying process and the vehicle itself. It's thanks to your video that I kind of knew most of the settings. Amazing drive home . Cheers and thank you 👍
Awesome thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos!
I love Mercedes every day more and more. Although my car is from 2009...
so? mines only 2013
The hold feature is great when towing a caravan.
On Uk AMG GLC 2.2 diesels the HOLD display is at the bottom of the main instrument binnacle below Speedo. That was a brilliant tip which after 5 years of ownership of 3 of the same models I never knew it existed - makes traffic light waits so much more relaxing 👍👍👍
I just purchased E350e AMG Dynamics and your tips & tricks are very useful. I didn’t know most of them except the HOLD feature. Thanks again and looking forward to your next vid. Subscribed!
I didn’t know about the recirculate trick ! Thank you!! Love my AMG 43 SUV
Tried the internal air circulation trick today
Brilliant took one year until seeing this to know about this
Nick deserves to be really big in Mercedes a credit to the brand.
Thanks Paul! ^_^
@@npoleary why when I unlock my 22 cla when the kids go to open the door I need to unlock the whole car again think I have pressed something surely you can just press inlock on the key and all doors should unlock??
Stand near the car, hold unlock and lock for approx 7 seconds.
This will disable the Driver’s door only unlock for that key.
Next time you go to unlock it’ll unlock all doors with one press
@@npoleary thanks nick that worked a treat, Iv got a few questions for you I just bought a brand new 2022 cla180 premium plus package with the night pack all that stuff hah I previously had a new shape a class and that came with a drinks holder in the Center console so the drinks didn’t move about my new one never come with that, should it? And how come my seats and steering wheel aren’t electric with memories on the door? Also no ambient lighting in the back seats or center console, is this all new to 2022 models or just because I bought a cla it’s literally a town car that it no bothered just thought I’d ask 👍🏽👍🏽 p. No front camera for sat nab but has parking assistance
Hey Jay, that’s alright!
I know that specs do vary and they do vary massively in car manufacturing at the moment due to the ongoing semiconductor shortage so they’ve had to adapt to fufill etc. it’s the same for all car manufacturers
Thanks for the info. The s550 has a feature where I can roll all of my windows down at the same time from outside the car by pressing 2 buttons simultaneously look it up if you didn’t know. The c240 has it too
Picked up the new e class today. Great tips especially the recirculation and turning off the keyless go is a must living in London with all the key less go thefts
Ah awesome Ajmal! Glad you liked the video! 🤓
So useful thank you 🙏🏻
Just picked up a pre owned 2016 C300 in mint condition, love my new to me car and your videos are very helpful! Thanks!!
Awesome! Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! 👍🏼🤓
excellent video, hold feature, add to favorites and the climate recycle function will all come in very useful.
Awesome thanks Paul! Glad you liked them!
Very useful tips, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful Heiti Karafin! 🤓
Excellent simple video again well done
Thanks Martin! 👍🏼

감사합니다! 비디오를 좋아해 주셔서 감사합니다!
(잘 나오길 바라며 구글 번역을 사용 했어요! 😅)
I knew the hold feature. Use it all the time
love the tips recirculation definitely helps
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Nick I am a Brit living in Germany and just got my Merced’s delivered last week and struggling with the features. Your videos very helpful
Awesome! Thanks Alpesh! Glad you enjoy them!
Alpesh Patel
Nice, tips and tricks, clear and well demonstrated. Now subscribed and will try a few of these when back in the car... keep up the good work.
Thanks Neil! And thank you for subscribing!👍🏼
Just purchased an E53. Estate AMG 2020 It’s got so much on it. A beautiful car. I’m learning every day
Awesome Steve!
That’ll have loads of gadgets on that one! Plus they’re pretty quick! 💨
Nick O'Leary yes it’s quick. Can’t test it out yet. Only got 700 miles on it. Still running it in
I've had my A class for 4 years, I didn't know 3 of those tricks. Wow! A huge thanks.
Aha! No problem Wellard! 🤓
Thank you. I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful! 🤓
Mercedes is looking at my car this coming Thursday!
Man you're awesome. I have S213 for 3 years and I didn't know about the "Hold Recirculation Button" trick. It's really cool 😎
I use the Hold feature since day 1, and I'm sorry for all those out there who haven't heard of that feature. Makes city driving easier.
Thanks Soner! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
You do this so well, thanks. Would be nice if you could do a video on the driver assistance systems (distronic, lane change assist....) on especially the smaller models (A, CLA, GLA....). S class systems are amazing but not all that accessible to most people.
Hi Johan,
I’d love to! Unfortunately it’s an extremely rare system in the UK. It’s amazing, every single feature on it. I hope to one day!
Just picked up my CLA love the ambient lighting 👌🏼
Hi Ralph The Bulldog,
I know! So good right? What colour have you gone for Blue?
Nick O'Leary blue 👍🏽 love the the way the headlights come on at night also bit like kitt car
@@npoleary
My 2014 s class hasn't got it, I can only adjust white light 😭
Very informative .. picking up my new GLA next week
Awesome s m!
I'm sure you'll love it!
Nice drone work Nick 👍
Thanks Phil! 🤓
That’s awesome, thank you I didn’t know about the HOLD feature ......I’ll try it
Hi snuggles03,
Yeah the Hold feature is definitely a hidden one, not many people know about it!
Nick O'Leary I sure didn’t know about it, but I tried it on my 2016 e250 cabriolet and it WORKS 😂😂👍👍
Awesome! 🤓
Great, didn't know what my car can do
Hey Nick, I’m watching all your MBUX videos again, because tomorrow I pick up my GLA 250 4Matic and I can’t wait. 😀😀
Hey snuggles03! Ah awesome! Glad you're enjoying them all again!
Wow I can tell you're excited! Early Christmas Present?
@@npoleary oh yeah,
Great video
the last one i think is the best
Informative 👍🏻✅
Thanks Talha!
Nice tips...
driven MB for a decade but did not know about some of the tips
Thanks Jimmy Choi! Good to hear!
Magic video, Nick. It's got to the stage now where I've essentially bought a 2022 GLC300 computer that just so-happens to have four wheels. If it wasn't for your content on this channel, I'd literally be driving this for the next 5 years thinking it's the same as all my other Mercs. Star Trek has arrived in the persona of My Mercedes.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them! 😎
Hold feature is great. Drove an automatic for the first time last week and hated having to have my foot on the pedal when i stop for a moment at a junction or something. Brake lights behind all the time not good in the dark for other drivers either.
Thanks for the info. My A Class arrives next Monday
Your brake lights are on all the time foot or no foot
@@nelami1820 ahh really? Didnt notice! Thanks for letting me know though. I do still love the hold function tho. So useful
Very useful..love these trick and tip videos...have to go play in my c class now...bye
Haha thanks Richard! Glad you liked them! 🤓
Great video. I have a 66 C class. But I'm waiting on delivery if a new CLA premium. So I'm be trying these tricks. Thanks!
Ah awesome! You’ll have that ambient lighting too with 64 colours to choose!
What colour did you go for?
Excellent tips. Agree w others. Your content is great. And you deserve more subs. I just a 2020 GLE 450 (in USA). So I appreciate your tips a lot. Thank you.
Thanks Richard! 👍🏼
Yeah the new GLE shouldn’t differ too much from the UK spec so hopefully they all work for you!
I like the hold feature you mention, on my c class it creeps forward except when on a hill and it seems to stay still
I will try this
Again well done
Thanks Paul, glad you liked it!
My suggestion Paul is that, you need to makes sure you hold the steering wheel with both hands and then push it hard to hold, coz I noticed that too until I thought i figured it out myself hehe. Try that next time and thanks too Nick, there are a lot that I am yet to try hehehe
Thanks man, will have to try some of these out!
I didn’t think I would learn anything new.
I was wrong. Thank you 🙏🏻
Aha no problem! Glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓
I'm so surprised many people didn't know about the recirc feature to close and open all windows lol. My dad's 2005 W203 C Class does it. Mercedes has always been doing this. It's the little things that make me love them.
Hi SDav21,
I know there are so many more hidden features, tips and tricks etc which I'm sure I'll cover in the future!
Excellent tips, Nick! If you ever get the chance, there are a lot of us who own older MB-AMGs. What can I say, MB makes cars to last unlike some other European car makers. I have a 2003 CL 55 AMG, which I love. Also, my wife has a 2009 CLK 550, with an AMG package. So, thanks again!
these are the best! Today's models are designed to be disposable fashion toys.
Superb
That young man was pretty good 🙂💪💪💪
*I had a W246 B Class 2014 and the HOLD function it worked a treat, however now replaced car with the current Model B200CDi AMG W247 and it works but needs 'more of a knack' Also the Cruise Control (on Stalk) on W246 Models I preferred to the rather small buttons on Steering Wheel on the latest series. **3:00** The Keyless Entry - my car has a tracking device (Standard) to identify where the car is and with the Mercedes ME App will alert you if car moved and show its precise location. However no one wants their car stolen so a good tip to turn this off if parking in a Public Space. Regarding 'Favorites' the MBUX will store and recall your last destinations, home, work address but also if you have in your Contacts the address of a person you can simply say "Navigate to Joe Bloggs' and it will do so with an option of routes.*
Hi GrrMeister,
Yeah absolutely right about all of those things! Sounds like you're enjoying your B-Class!
@@npoleary *Very much so and got 83.2 MPG the other day on a 39 Mile run, staggering ! Took a photo as no one believes you (in Eco Mode) which the car goes into 'freewheel mode' when lifting throttle, amazing how far will coast for with engine on tickover.*
I have a 2019 love it…
Fantastic series of information. Bought my A Class recently (from Sandown) and because of social distancing it wasn't easy to demonstrate all the features available. This was a great help.
Thanks Nick
Thanks Gary! Glad the videos helped! 🤓
Great video, really helpful, thank you. Quick question, the tip with pressing the lock button on the key twice to turn the keyless go off ...will this stop the keyless entry hack that some thieves use to steal cars?
Hi Moe,
Absolutely! All Mercedes-Benz vehicles have extensive security and anti-theft protection systems with this included which turns off the key completely. Just bear in mind this function is "per key" so if you have a spare, you'll need to do it to that one too.
Nick O'Leary thanks for the reply...I’m keeping both keys inside a signal blocker pouch lol ...but recently started doing the double press on the key after watching your video
Hi Nick, have you created a tutorial on how one can setup the side mirrors to look down when reversing? Thanks again for the great content.
No worries 🤓
Yes it’s on this video here: ua-cam.com/video/ZROT4BlEnoA/v-deo.html
Scroll to 5 mins in 🤓
@@npoleary great i was wondering why only the left one went down, now I know. Thanks again.
Hi Nick. Great video! Will definitely use the hold feature😀 Any idea if you can always disable Lane Assist? This has become a daily first thing to disable when I enter my CLA 2020..
Hi Brent,
Yes that HOLD feature is great, I use it everyday!
With the new CLA, it comes with Active Lane Keeping Assist as standard and yes as you’ve noticed, it does come on automatically every time you turn it on. As it’s a safety feature it can’t be turned of permanently.
It’s designed to stop you leaving the lane if you accidentally drifted to one side of the road, however if you indicate when you know you’re going to go over a line in the road, it switches it off temporarily so you won’t have that jolt when it brings you back into lane.
Hope that helps!
The “HOLD” feature has become one of my favorites. I can truly relax at a stop light, and take my foot off the brake. I still tend to keep my foot ready for the brake, but I have never had a problem with it. Just a light pressure on the gas pedal releases the break and you go. It is also good fun for a quick start with heavier pressure on the gas. BTW, I also have a Sprint Booster that increases the throttle response that makes quick starts even easier and more fun.
Totally agree! I love that HOLD feature, it's so convenient. I think all cars should have it!
-
I didn’t have this feature on the old W205 c class but have this feature on my E300...it’s really good
Gizmoegram Hold doesn't damage the break by the time?! I am hesitant to do it
Hi Night Fall,
Nope not at all! By pressing down harder (when stationary) you’re basically letting the car know you want the brake to stay on. The car’s computer will show HOLD on the screen and it will not move whatsoever. As soon as you wish to go just lightly press the accelerator 👍🏼
'Hold' function; great tip for being sat in traffic!... I've been using it ever since I watched the video.
Aha! It’s a hidden one that one!
Hardly anyone knows about it unless you’ve had Mercedes for years!
@@npoleary my sales man did this on my test drive. But I could never get it working myself. Will try again myself
Ah it’s easy Kez! While your foot’s on the brake in “D” for drive, give your foot a short sharp press and it’ll go straight to HOLD. When you want to go press the accelerator to go 🤓
@@kezbanana8327 Get to complete halt, and then a sharp pump as if you’re trying to bleed the brakes 👍
@@npoleary it worked. I have no clue why I couldn’t do it before.
I’ve had a C class for 4 years and I only knew 3 of the 6 before watching this video. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Inffzy99,
Amazing good to hear! Glad you liked them!
OMG I wish I had discovered Nick and all these tips YEARS AGO!!!! Brilliant stuff - off out for a drive now to test them out ;0)
Great! Glad you liked them!
@@npoleary Love your videos. Wish you could cover every part of the Mercedes but there is just so much!! I bet only half of Merc owners use more than 75% of their cars features properly! And certainly don't know all the short cuts you showed. I called a few friends earlier and told them some!!
Keep it up buddy......👌👌
Thanks Kay!
Hi Nick
As you are the most knowledgeable in the trade.
Could you help explain on the paddles on my c200 one has a dimple and one has a convex bump as it were
Why these indentations?
Cheers
Hey Paul! Thanks 😊
Quite simply it’s just one has an bump to indicate more (going up a gear) and the other has an indent to signify less (going down a gear).
🤓
Thanks for another great video, Nick. The recirculation memory tip doesn't seem to work on my 2018 S450. Should it?
It works on all cars (as far as I know) in the UK so should do!
I haven’t come across one where it doesn’t work yet.
Just bought a new Mercedes, have watched a ton of your videos, just wanted to say many thanks for all your videos, big help and fantastic job. Cheers from down under
Thank you glad you liked the videos!
Hi nick, any chance you can do some content on older vehicles? I have a 66 plate c class and would be great to get any hints /tips on that generation
Hi Robert,
I’ll add it to the list! I’m considering another tips and tricks soon 👀
Nice video, switching off keyless, does it stop the key transmitting ?
Hi George, yes it turns the key off so it does save battery life 🤓
@@npoleary nice one, what a great idea/invention, save using the annoying covers and cut down on car theft.
that first one!!! thank you!!
Hi Composer,
The recirculation button?
Yeah it is a good one! Brilliant to close all windows at once and to put them back to their original position!
Glad you liked it!
Wow I didn’t know any of these. I’m going to do them on my e class.
What kind u got i got e 300
Wow, thanks! That was very informative. I have had a Mercedes for four years, and never knew about these.
Question for ya. When I have my iPhone plugged in and hit the NAVI button, it goes to the phone navigation, and not the default Mercedes navigation. How can I use the default Mercedes navigation, while having my phone plugged in, playing it's music, etc.?
Hey Tony, I could be wrong but it sounds like you’re using Apple CarPlay? Just bear in mind that you can only use one or the other of the two systems. This is because they are completely separate to each other. To use the Mercedes navigation you’ll need to not launch Apple CarPlay (plug it into a different USB port or something).
You can hold the button for 2 seconds and release. Maybe it changed on new models. But I know you don't have to keep holding the recirc button. You just keep it pressed till the windows start moving then release.
Hello Nick, thanks for the tips, they're really cool. One question though. Does the packing assist on E300 apply to all E300 Mercedes, specifically 2017 models?
Hi Ifeanyi Ozoani,
Yes if you have a park assist button in the middle of the car then it'll do everything in my video:
ua-cam.com/video/EVYj0EggN90/v-deo.html
All Mercedes-Benz made after approx 2014 that have parking sensors fitted from factory can pretty much do the parking assist with the exception of SLC models as that one is slightly different.
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. I appreciate your help
Thank u
No problem titosayed!
Nick, there is an even faster way to change a music track while you are on navigation menu or any menu. on the same area of the touchpad were you click to change track with a pop up menu. You do not have to click. simply SWIPE your finger from left to right on top of touchpad (Same area were you click to change tracks) but no click. just simply SWIPE from left to right to go to NEXT track or from RIGHT to left to go to Previous. It is less distracting than the pop up menu!
Hey Guillermo, absolutely!
This was one of the first videos I ever made on UA-cam but since then I’ve produced many more!
One of them was a frequently asked question about just that: ua-cam.com/video/maLBpVNBpjM/v-deo.html
It does vary from model to model as they’re not all the same. Some you need to click, some you can just swipe
i only knew one of those tips,,,, thanks
Thanks Ken! 🤓
Super!!!
👊🏼🤓
@@npoleary I want to know how to set the Lights from automatic to manual, we had a big discussion my last road trip with my parentsinlaw 😅
Hi Herman,
Just change the lights on your light switch to the right (one click clockwise)
That’ll put it to manual :)
1:00 *Will try this on next Trip with MBUX - "Hey Mercedes **_change to recirculating air"_** and see if it works !*
Well did it work?
Hello Nick, your videos are lifesavers. I got my new E450 and being a computer engineer I had a hard time figuring out how all tech features work. Yours are very simple and informative, NOT from the original manuals. Question, two out of ten times I can't lock the door with my thumb on the door sensor, same on other doors. I discovered that it works when I press the palm of my hand covering the whole door handle. Is this normal? I thank you very much if you can help.
Hey Millikan, thank you and glad you like the videos! 👊🏼
No it should work every time however I do know the sensitivity has been reduced for newer cars so there does have to be a very distinct touch on the door handle for it to work.
If you don’t think something is right though if you get in touch with your local dealership I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out!
@@npoleary Thank you from Toronto. Yes, you probably are right, I feel the sensitivity on the door handle is significantly less than my Lexus GS350 before. The GS never fails once on locking and unlocking.
Nick, I think the Mercedes manual is really hard digging up practical info for new users, I hope the sales team can come out with a quick simple guide like a collection of what you and other guys have been telling on UA-cam. You talked good and each video was very professionally made, really enjoyed all your MB videos, as said, yours are lifesavers to us. Please keep up with the great job.
Nick-I really enjoy the videos you post. We just purchased a 2019 S63 Cabriolet. It does not have the new MBUX. I'm struggling to find a comprehensive review of the Comand system anywhere. The car is loaded with so many features, I'm certain we haven't explored anywhere near the extent of them, including the apparent cross traffic braking. Can you cover this or is there somewhere you recommend?
Oh wow yeah an S 63 Cabriolet will have loads of things, and the level of luxury of an S-Class is amazing!
I haven’t made a COMAND video as of yet as Mercedes-Benz of Poole don’t have an S-Class Cabriolet yet. When they do though, I’m sure I’ll get round to something!
Nick O'Leary I’m in Los Angeles and there are plenty here, but no one has a clue. They all suggest going to the MB online tutorials which have a grand total of nothing...
Well any questions Jim just ask me on here and I’ll do my best. I know the gadgets of the S-Class Cabriolet very well.
Although it’s the UK one’s I know, I hope they’re fairly similar to the ones across the water! 😅
Nick O'Leary 3-questions to start:
1. I cannot find the seat belt extender button. No one seems to know where it is. The manual suggests it’s the last button in the button cluster in the upper left area of the driver side.
2. Is the cross traffic braking system engaged or do I need to engage it?
3. How do we create profiles? I heard this was possible and I’ve seen this in the A-Class.
Thanks for any insight you can provide...
-Jim
Hi Jim,
The seat belt extender is usually automatic on S-Class Cabriolet’s as far as I’ve seen.
Cross Traffic is enabled by default but only if you have optional driving assistance package.
And profiles unfortunately are only found on cars with MBUX. S-Class’s don’t have this yet but the new one next year will have it.
Hope that answers your questions!
Please can you do a step by steps video on how to setup blind spot and automatic folding mirrors on mercedes benz B class 2018 b180 AMG
Hey thanks for the suggestion! Blind Spot Assist is enabled by default on cars that have it as far as I’m aware.
Sadly I only started my UA-cam channel in 2020 so have limited coverage of models prior to that. I’m not sure my local dealer has any models in from 2018. I haven’t been there for a little while so don’t know what years of car they have in stock.
Pretty sure on that year of car though, both of those things are controlled on the steering wheel. Using left/right buttons on the steering wheel keep pressing right until you get to settings. Then look in there for Blind Spot Assist and then also under I think Convenience, this is where you find mirror folding, again if it has it.
Hope that helps!
will all these tips and tricks work on a 2020 B class? especially the recirc button tip. seems really useful.
Getting my B class next week (from sandown actually) and trying to get as much info as possible. :p
Hi Steve,
Apart from a slightly different and newly improved favourite menu, yes all of these tips and tricks will work in your new B-Class. Oooo sounds exciting, do you know when you're picking up your new car?
@@npoleary Thats great, that tip in particular sounds very useful.
Don't know yet. ordered an AMG line premium on Monday from stock (motability car) in Basingstoke and will be here in a week or so. can't wait. :)
What does the 'C' underlined with km/h mean on the top left of the computer display and can it be removed. - wouldn't mind if it was mph - still wouldn't understand it though! 🙂. Great channel I've just discovered it and subscribed. Thank you. Brian.
Hi Brian Warbrick,
The ‘C’ stands for comfort on your Dynamic Select switch. Depending on your model of Mercedes-Benz, you should have Eco, Comfort and Sport (some also have Sport +). These will affect how the car feels when you drive.
Eco - Less power from engine, but you will save fuel
Comfort - The standard setting, smoothes out gear changes and mid power from engine
Sport & Sport + - Increased performance, useful if you like a responsive car or need to accelerate quickly
Regarding your Kph, Mercedes-Benz chose not to cram mph and kph in on the dials so have opted for a digital display instead. You of course can have mph on the main screen but you have to have kph somewhere on your dashboard too!
Hope that answers your questions!
Nick O'Leary Hi Nick thank you for that. I think I've got all of those you mentioned my version is a C lass 2015 SE.
I've only had it couple of weeks and still finding things. You've saved me two weeks of poking around. So presumably if I move my Agility switch to one of the sports modes the C would become an S ? So are the accompanying numbers of the km/h what speed I'm doing? But in kilometres ? Thanks for being so patient and very knowledgeable. B.
Hi Brian,
Not a problem! Happy to help!
Yes in the C-Class SE it’s called Agility (same switch for adjusting the car’s driving mode). You should have all of them in your C-Class and yes if you change it, it’ll change to E, C, S or S+.
And with the kph it’ll show you your speed as you start driving 🤓
Mph can be shown on the screen in big underneath which most people prefer to be honest.
Hi Nick, just watched this again as very useful. I have noticed when I play music or radio from my iPhone via bluetooth the Album images do not appear, just a generic image. When I use Applecar play they do appear. Is this a fault or can I change it so my music images on my phone appear on the screen? Hope this makes sense? Thanks Mark
Hey Mark, no this is one of the features of Apple CarPlay :)
Apple CarPlay is your phone on the screen, and your phone is the one showing those images.
Playing music over Bluetooth just sends the audio away from the phone so it won’t show album artwork.
@@npoleary Thanks again Nick. Thats a shame. With a number of other manufactures you get the image when using bluetooth.
The hold feature is the most useful thing, especially for city driving. Is it exclusive to MB?
Hi ThewaylCit,
Yeah so useful in the city! Other manufacturers have their own versions of a “hold” feature but I think Mercedes & Porsche only have this via the brake pedal.
I have a 2016 Golf R DSG that has the hold feature via the brake pedal, works the same as this
Talk to us about mb connect? About heating/cooling options!
Hi Dr. Dragos M,
I've already made a video on Mercedes me Connect! That was one of the first videos I made:
ua-cam.com/video/feH79nGEAPo/v-deo.html
In terms of remote heating / cooling options you can do this if you have an auxillary heater which is found in Electric Vehicles, Hybrids & in selected G-Wagons.
Hope that answers your question!
Hi Nick...really enjoy your videos. I have a question please. I’ve purchased a 2017 SL450 and am waiting for delivery. So the car is three years old. My question is will your tips and tricks pertain to my car? Thanks, Jim
Hi James,
Yes a few will work! 🤓
Recirculation Button (might do just the windows)
Deactivating KEYLESS-GO (even if it doesn’t have KEYLESS-GO, this double press will turn the key off)
Favourite Menu (should be a button in the middle with a Star which will take you to this menu)
HOLD Feature (yes it will have this one)
Nick O'Leary Thanks Nick. I do have the Premium 1 package and Driver Assistance. Looking forward to that.
Hey,great video......
I would like to ask you something.....How can I change and activate the AMG logo on my car's screen?
I own a w213 2017.....
Thank you very much in advance!!!!
Hi,
I have seen this online somewhere once but I haven’t done it before so can’t advise, sorry! Just go careful if you do
@@npoleary thank u very much for your response!!!!!👍
Hi Nick, great vid... My GLC keeps turning TA back on despite me turning it off daily. How do I permanently disable TA?!
what4rd try holding the mute button either on the steering wheel or the mute button on the actual volume control in the centre compartment. That should hopefully work! Let me know how you get on!
OMG, the HOLD feature - I could not figure out why sometimes it rolled forward and sometimes it didn't - mystery solved!
Aha there we go! One of Mercedes hidden secrets!
Hi Nick,could I ask you a question about widow control
Window control?
Of course 🤓
Hi
Do you know if the Hold feature will work on 2018 C Class (Premium)?
Hi Imran,
Yes it will! It works on all modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles and is so useful!
Great stuff. The HOLD was the only one I knew. I have two questions, if that's OK.
1. Is it possible to change how the audio (on my 2018 E Class) deals with memory card folders. On my previous 3 Mercedes (2009, 2011, 2012) they would all get to the last song in a folder and then go to the first track in the next folder. In my current 2018 model it gets to the last track in a folder and then goes back to track 1.
2. Is it possible to make the manual gearshift mode more manual ? When I choose manual in individual drive select mode, I can change gear myself just fine but when I come to a stop, it goes down to M1. None of my previous Mercedes did that. I would drive around town normally in gear 2 and 3. I found that "2" was great when the speed limit was 20mph, it made it less easy to just find yourself way over the limit by accident. When the limit is 30mph I'd use "3'. So I'd drive around switching between 2 and 3. At traffic lights, I'd change down from 3 to 2 and it would stay in 2. I find that every time I stop I have to switch up from M1 (which I didn't select) to M2 which I prefer to start in.
Hi Vee Macks,
That’s good, not many people know about the hold feature! Of course I can:
1) As far as I know, I don’t believe it’s possible. There are no settings or hidden menus to control that aspect of playback with folders. My only guess is that Mercedes-Benz have now implemented the same strategies as other audio players and will only play the album and then restart when finished.
2) Again no really sorry, most Mercedes-Benz have the Dynamic Select option and in there you can select manual mode but it will change gear automatically if you don’t do it yourself. It gives you flexibility to change gear but no it can’t be programmed to only pull away and start in 2nd gear.
@@npoleary Thanks Nick. I didn't expect a positive answer really. Usually if it's possible in a menu I'll find it. Some things to just get used to I guess. Hey, I'm 2 weeks into ownership of this car and they're the only negative things. I'll take that !!
Hello there!!!
Could you please tell us a way to change the main MB logo with the AMG on the digital cluster screen?...
I own a w213 2017....Thank you in advance ☺
Hi,
Really sorry, I’ve heard of people doing this before but have no idea how to do this myself :(
Just go careful if you do as I’d hate for something to go wrong and then your screen not work!
Anyone knows on/off airbag switch, amg premium 220d, year 2017?
By the way, this video was very helpful.
Thank you.
Hey Christian,
Thank you glad you liked the video!
There isn’t an on/off airbag switch for the passenger seat on Mercedes vehicles. It automatically turns on and off depending on if someone is sat in the front seat or not 🤓
@@npoleary Thank you.
I tried the hold today - a revelation for me . No holding on the brake anymore !,,,
I know right! Number one hidden feature I think! 🤓
Just bought e class coupe ‘14, hope it has this function
@@llamamanism It does.
Sure will!
My old car w211 from 2004 already hat this hold feature.
SBC-hold i believe it was called
Possibly! It’s been around for quite a while! It’s so handy to use on the road! 🤓
Wow
Great tips,
But can I ask you to explain how to switch off criuse control / lim
It is constantly on the screen one of them.
I choose to have LIM because when i left cruise control and touched middle by mistake car started speeding up🥺
How to remove it from the screen( to switch off)
CNCL will not do the job for me
Hi Neven,
Mercedes cars always have at least one of those on the screen. There is way to make it disappear from the screen. If it’s illuminated green, then it’s on but if it’s greyed out then it’s off.
Hi Nick
I have just bought a 2015 S350lwb and I wondered if it is possible to illuminate the steering wheel controls at night as I can’t see them. Help please. Thanks
Hey Richard, really sorry I can’t remember if the buttons actually do light up at night time on the steering wheel in that model, been a while since I’ve driven that one at night!
Best thing to do is chat with your local Mercedes & they’ll be able to advise if it did have that functionality.
Tried the wiper maintenance positioning tip but no go on a glc63s...
Is the Mercedes Me button by the rear view mirror a concierge service or just a breakdown service?
Hey Richard,
It does all sorts! I’ll cover it in a future video! 🤓
But in a nutshell
If you need help with something in your Mercedes
Need Roadside Assistance (breakdown, accidents etc)
Concierge Services (looking up restaurants etc)
Only knew one of these - thanks for sharing. Just wish that my dealer had taken the time to go through things like this when I picked up my new car 6 months ago.
Anyway, keep these coming, there are very helpful 👍👍
Thanks Let’s be nice! I saw your other comments too, so thank you very much!
Yes of course! Already got some videos planned for the coming months 🤓
I don't know why they don't show people the hidden features. It makes me mad.
Great video - thanks, and the steering wheel on the right side! :) Now if only someone can work out how UK owners can get rid of the useless km/h on the central display and replace with outside temperature like every other country. Isn't km/h an old EU requirement?
Hi Ozodyssey,
Thanks for the kind comments! Well actually most car manufacturers print km/h on the analog dials. As Mercedes-Benz don’t (and the car is made in Europe) it is a legal requirement to have km/h somewhere on your dashboard. That is the reason it’s digital.
Although I do agree with you on that one regarding the temperature outside, should be visible all the time! You’ll be pleased to know most of the new models coming out soon do have that 👍🏼
Hi Nick!
Random question…. I bought a second hand 2018 C Class Saloon and the Sat Nav needs updating. Please could you tell me what I have to do to update it. Thank you.
Hey Penelope Butler,
Depends on your model and multimedia system to be honest. I have made a video about it covering as many systems as I can 🤓
