Congratulations. I want to suggest that if "Mercedes-Benz" is offering extended coverage (warrantee) for your car, consider buying that now, if you haven't already. The reason is the cost for extended coverage will be less money during the time when you first buy a car (within a month or so) because it's considered a good road worthy car by the selling dealership. But if you wait too long the cost for coverage goes up and up. The reason is because there are people that buy the coverage late because they damaged the car, and they don't want to pay a big repair bill, and the coverage is less than the bill.
#9 For anyone confused by the explanation, basically Mercedes are designed not to roll like other cars. It's most noticeable when leaving a stop sign that's on a down hill. In most cars you can just let off the brake and the car will roll away on its own. In a Mercedes you have to have pressure on the accelerator pedal for the car to roll normally.
Sometimes I don’t like the AC and I turn off but that is why I got headache. Well since today I won’t turn off my air conditioner anymore and thank you so much for explaining why. 😊
I honestly didn't think about the air tight cabin and keeping the air on, makes tons of sense now cuz it explains those headaches which I thought were hangovers 😅
The info about the gas pedal sensing answered a question for me! Once in a great while, while turning onto a street, it has seemed like my car almost stalled! Now I know that I am causing it and will work on not lifting my foot! Thank you!
I have that feature on my 2011 BMW, and it saves brakes. Car will decelerate with foot removed from gas pedal. It works well on down hill portions as some cars will upshift and go faster. I have the original brakes and rotors after 93K miles. My older cars would burn thru brakes in 40K miles.
The hook on the handle is in case you need to tie the hatch down when you have a long item in the vehicle inhibiting the closure of the doorway. It's why it's described as "temporary tie down" in the owners manual.
while accessing your spare you will notice a long ribbon and hook and guess where you stick that hook to keep the floor hatch open while grabbing your spare and tools? you got it.
Thank you. I didn't know that. I thought its only purpose was to hold-up the lid in the trunk floor. I confess, after we bought our car I left the Owner's Manual out in plain sight, and for the past three years it's been collecting dust. Maybe now I'll read it after shaming myself in public.
The hook on the handle is more for your dry cleaning. If you're walking up to the car you can hit the button open it and then hang your dry cleaning while you're moving stuff inside the car or setting things down if your hands are full that way you can put it on one of the interior hook handles on the back seats.
#9 new MB owner, I just bought one for my Wife (she drives more than I do, and I wanted her to be safe). I thought it was the CVT, her new Mercedes is also our first car with a CVT. Thanks for the information!
I have owned my first ever Mercedes for a year and a half now and knew about 4 of the 'don'ts, but you answered 3 things I couldn't figure out (THANK YOU!) and the rest was news to me! Awesome...!
Number nine helped me out a lot because I was wondering what was going on and why the car slowed down by itself all of a sudden. Thanks for making this video.😊 what I wanted to know is what does those three soft buttons under the rearview mirror do? And I also wanted to know if you can turn off the dimming, and if you can turn off the feature that makes the Sideview mirror tilt when you reverse.
3 buttons on the bottom of the rearview mirror can be programmed to open garage doors. Watch my video how to do it here ruclips.net/video/NK61NimaPUY/видео.html. Also, you can switch your right mirror from tilting while in Reverse, if you switch your mirror control from the right to left mirror. But it's a helpful feature for parking, and you can adjust it for yourself. Watch my video where I demoed how to adjust it in one of the features of this video ruclips.net/video/Um4cLpakLzw/видео.html
If only the Germans could make seats like the French. German motors, French seats, Italian upholstery, American air conditioning, and Japanese quality.
Great video! Very entertaining and extremely useful. I got more out of this than the dealer provided 4 months ago when I picked up the GLE 350 new! Thanks, MBZ Master.
Genius!!! So glad I found your channel and thanks for sharing. Mercedes dealers should recommend your channel to their their customers, because they don't educate new Mercedes owners very well. Of course they also should compensate you for doing their job too. Good luck!! Lol. Thanks again for sharing.
Just bought a 2024 GLE AMATIC night package, so glad I found your videos, I can see how much I'm going to learn from you. Keep those great video coming! Question, what do the 2 silver buttons on the cup holders do?
The hook is for safety triangle or lantern when you need to alert the traffic. And the hook on the side of the trunk is to keep the seatbelts out of the way (tucked to the side) ...
I’m about to lose my E450 to lease. But I subscribed and will marathon your videos for entertainment and to learn. I’m considering a GLS 550 as my last car. I’m getting old.
The driver who downshifted by accident made, "The Wilhelm scream!!!" It has been used in movies and videos since 1953!!! A character in a western movie named Wilhelm, (Played by Sheb Wolly, "Flying Purple People Eaters," fame), got hit by an Indian's arrow and he makes that scream as he falls from his horse!!! The scream is free domain, and it is titled; "Man being eaten by Alligator."
Very entertaining and informative video. Only knew about half of these, and that REST feature is the best one I just learned about. How embarrassing that we never realised we had that option. Thanks :-)
Very homely explanations with so much friendly and coffee table tone. Iam really so much educated as mercedes fun and owner of different models. So cool. Thank you so much. Keep the good work.
Love the video well done. I own a GLE for 2 months and I only knew the booklet for Fuse as is easy to spot on my car since is under the passenger seat on the back.
the REST function did cool my 2014 ML350 for half an hour when there was a "sauna" outside, not to mention newer MB cars. It was not residual cold. Older MB cars that I had only blew residual cold for a minute and then it became hot like outside. In colder weather it blows warm air by using residual heat of the engine. And the REST function has been there since 30 years ago or even before (maybe not for all models).
My first visit to your channel. I have already subscribed. I learned more from you in 10 min than dozens of other video makers. Thank you. Also, it helps that I’m Eastern European because I’m laughing at all the nuanced jokes. Bravo. Well done. Keep up the good work.
Great car. It's not a full SUV, it's based on the C-Class chassis, which is great but not as god as GLE if you take it off-road. GLC is great for a city-drive, good handling and good fuel-efficiency, easy to park. It has excellent safety features.
22 years same Merc W212 diesel 180k miles. In Europe. Body rust progressively repaired. Mechanically sound, still original everything except some springs/dampers. Only 2.7 ltr but, can behave like E-Type Jag. We don't just go places, feels like we float there in safe solid comfort.
The Brake is a smart idea, i remmeber 20years ago going with my dad from western europe to afrika in summertimes on trip with the car, and told me all those tips how to drive on highway and use the gaspedal to break of give gase and sift bake in gear to not warm to much the brake'swhen you goin doing 12% for 5kms in the mountains of spain.
you rock , your videos saved me a lot of money. thanks . i should have gotten the tire protection plan. I replaced 2 run flat tire. I love the hey mercedes feature I don't have take my hands off of the steering wheel. I purchased the baby benz gla 250 4matic.
Another amazing video!! Sir your name should be Mr Mercedes, you are a genius and you have to be very nosey to give out all these toys and tricks ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you thank you again, now I will be sitting in my car like an old person doing all the tips n tricks lol 🤣
That is why when you are entering a tunnel you must close the windows and activate tunnel mode which will stop fumes and exhaust from other cars from entering into your car it is usually activated by pushing if you look in the manual of your car it will show you but another good feature is when you exit the tunnel you can push the button to and your windows will go back to the position they were in prior to you activating tunnel mode, personally the smell of diesel on the back of the exhaust makes me feel sick so that is a future I do like
Boot hook ain’t a coat hook 😂 it’s for the reflective red emergency triangle that folds out 😂😂 if you break down 😂😂😂 not for a coat 😂😂😂. The rest of this video was very spot on and helpful. Thanks
I want to agree with you... but Mercedes Owner's Manual reads it's a "coat hook..." And why would you need to keep the rear door open just to hang the emergency triangle and drain your lights? It's easier to slap it under the rear wiper.
@@MBZMaster cars can see the triangle from further away. Place it on the floor and it’s less visible until they get closer. Try it if you ever need to use the triangle 🙂
3@@MBZMasterWhen you are dealing with a puncture and have the boot open and the floor lid hooked up to access the spare wheel. Then you use that hook.
Nice walk through. Re #5 (Manual shifting to Auto/Drive). I have seen quite a number of MB tricks videos and it seems like all you guys always show the same complicated way to switch back to auto mode, after using the paddles, by holding in the paddle for a while. Actually the easiest way is just to flip down your "gear selecter" like you want to put it into Drive (again). It will switch you back to Auto right away. Same same, just easier.
You can do it, but not all Mercedes models with paddle-shifters had transmission selector on the steering column. Especially the older models had mechanical transmission selector in the center, between the seats.
This guy is so hilarious and simple his explanations are so easy to grasp.
I’m picking up my first Mercedes tomorrow and I am so excited. Your video was very helpful.😊

Yes, it takes a few tries to get used to it. It's called defensive driving.
I have that feature on my 2011 BMW, and it saves brakes. Car will decelerate with foot removed from gas pedal. It works well on down hill portions as some cars will upshift and go faster. I have the original brakes and rotors after 93K miles. My older cars would burn thru brakes in 40K miles.

It's a benz...not meant for heavy duty like ropes😂😂😂
Exactly my thoughts. We use it when we put bikes in the trunk, and trunk won’t close
while accessing your spare you will notice a long ribbon and hook and guess where you stick that hook to keep the floor hatch open while grabbing your spare and tools? you got it.
Thank you. I didn't know that. I thought its only purpose was to hold-up the lid in the trunk floor. I confess, after we bought our car I left the Owner's Manual out in plain sight, and for the past three years it's been collecting dust. Maybe now I'll read it after shaming myself in public.
You have a cable on your removable floor to hook on that thing
The hook on the handle is more for your dry cleaning. If you're walking up to the car you can hit the button open it and then hang your dry cleaning while you're moving stuff inside the car or setting things down if your hands are full that way you can put it on one of the interior hook handles on the back seats.
