    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.

      Exactly my thoughts. We use it when we put bikes in the trunk, and trunk won’t close

    • @rontruocchio5744
      @rontruocchio5744 8 месяцев назад +6

      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 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.

      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.

    Another reason for leaving the AC on is it helps to clear fogged windows quicker - the air is dried by the AC, even if it's heating, rather than cooling, and dry air reduces fogging.

      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.

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.

    Hi from Switzerland . Love your show. You should have more frequent content. My question is related to drive assist in GLE 2021 models. What is the difference between Standard and Sensitive in the assistance? Thank you.

    • @MBZMaster
      @MBZMaster  2 года назад +7

      Sensitive I don't recommend. For example too sensitive Parktronic will start beeping even when it senses very little objects, while they're still far away. Or very sensitive Active Brake Assist will detect the smaller objects in front of your car and will try to hit brakes too soon. I guess you should put everything in "sensitive" and see how it feels. If it's overly reactive, then move to "standard."

    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?

      Optional cup heater, but it's optional.
