why am i watchings this i dont even have a car
One day you will get youre dream car! Never give up..!

Another great tips video Nick, I only discovered the rain sensor feature yesterday when my 2019 C43 was in for its service, I received a notification on my phone that the car had sensed rain and was closing the roof and windows, simply amazing
To my surprise I noticed I had left my wipers in the auto detect setting when I took the car in for a wash. Fortunately I caught it before the washing flaps hit the wipers.
3:07 You can also release the "Hold" by tapping again the brake and honestly it is better to do so because by pressing the accelerator it will start moving the car forward with a small "bump" (due to the force needed to overcome the brake hold) while by tapping the brake it will start moving slower but smoother.
Absolutely you can do this too! 🤓

@@seekhimwithallyourheartand3358 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don t have this bump ..... it s smooth and fine.
This feature exists also in manual cars or not?
I discovered the “hold” feature when a wasp flew in my sunroof an I was flapping around like a chicken.
😂😂😂
Always worth watching your videos because l have learnt another lesson from you. Holding the main beam on function because I have adaptive headlamps. I never thought to turn off the auto lights function. 👍😀
Great video! Just an addition to #4 - Next Track Button, I just swipe the top middle of the trackpad. Left to go back/repeat and right to play next. This work on favourite radio stations, Apple Music and Bluetooth music streaming. Very easy to use while keeping eyes on the road.
Hey Sham, yes that’s right! I was going to mention that but only certain models can do the “swipe” feature 🤓
I’d be lost without this guys tutorials. Love love love this guys stuff. So useful 👍 I’ve personally learnt so much about my dream car Slc ❤
Thank you! 🙏🙏 Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
Keep these videos coming! Never knew about the Hold feature and now use it all the time!
Thank you! Will do! 🤓🙏
Another cracking video Nick, the adaptive headlights are superb, I was a bit nervous of dazzling oncoming drivers until I tried and it works superbly. Thanks again.
Love your videos and presentations man, next level and always great information and fun to watch👏👏👏👏👏
My first Merc was a 2004 E320 Elegance. It had the hold-break and the wet-sensor sunroof-auto-close features.
I have a 2014 S550. I know of the brake hold feature which i use all the time. Don’t know if i have the auto rain close feature on the sunroof. During the next down pour I will try it 😉
2003 E320 CDI with Solar Panels. Really.
Hey Nick, I’ve just watched another 5 of your videos on tips and tricks. Awesome and glad you share this information. Many thanks mate.
Ah thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Seriously I'd be lost without these videos. Thanks so much ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
This guys videos have taught me just about everything for my new Mercedes. There is soooo much to learn. Thanks Nick!
Thanks Ben! 🤓🙏🤓
Great tips - I'm going out to try the sunroof trick now!
Great video Nick! Found a few new things that I should have in my EQC. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Thank you Thomas! 🤓
Thanks for all your videos! Love the break HOLD feature 👌
Another great video as always Nick. Thanks for the tips mate. Like the weekly videos. 😀
Thanks Darryl! 🤓
Nick - I had no idea I could adjust the head restraints forward in my EQC! Thanks 😂
Thank you for an Insight to the future! I just had the recall on my 2008 W211 Sunroof and now I have seen features that are not available to us drivers of old Mercs!
The hold feature is a life saver as my A class (2022) seems to roll back slightly when i accelerate after stopping eg at traffic lights using the hold feature seems to prevent that
Nick, you are truly my life-saver as I'm new to Mercedes. (Just got GLC AMG 43 in July) Especially, I love the HOLD feature. Thank you so much.
Ah thank you! No worries! 🤓
Great video and tips again. What3words is excellent and have been using it for a few months. Pinpoint accuracy to the destination.
thank you m8ty. i had my E250 Converible 3yrs before i saw you tell me about the HOLD,, now. driving is even less stressful than it was....many thanks .
Quick tip: To change track, you can also simply swipe the area where the skip button is left/right to skip.
Hey Lewis, yes you can on some! I was going to mention it but sadly not all models have the “swipe” feature so thought I’d leave it.
I was about to write the same thing. I have a 21 CLA and it works on mine.
You can also simply say “Hey Siri, skip song” and she will skip to the next song, or ask her to shuffle all songs, play whatever song, pause current song, etc. I do this daily. Obviously you need the iPhone. My Mercedes barely missed the Mercedes Me features, so Siri covers it.
I came here to say this.

Great one as usual thanks I see the beautiful roof box next you at the end of the video. Are planning to record some tips and tricks on how to install and improve safety and range while driving with roof box installed. Thanks again
Hey moshaafi, ah I hadn’t planned to do one specially on a roof box but I might do an accessories one somewhen in the future!
Perfect as always ! Thank Nick
Thank you! 🤓👍🏼🤓
Nick. Great videos and information. Couple questions on navigation. Is there a way to have the navigation system "accept" the use of toll roads? The past few trips, the navigation system avoids the use of toll roads and provides/maps a different route...sometimes resulting in a considerable longer drive. When I do ignore the guidance and enter a toll road system, I get a pop up window asking if I want to really use the toll road. I have looked but cannot find a function within the navigation system setup to "use/accept" toll roads. Almost all navigation apps provide that setup option. The other question...how do I increase the volume of MBUX navigation "voice" instructions. Thank you again Nick.
Hey Stan! Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! It should be on by default but you can check it (for MBUX) on the screen: HOME NAVIGATION SETTINGS (one with the cogs) ADVANCED ROUTE AVOID OPTIONS TOLL ROADS And also adjusting the voice is like other cars, just adjust the volume only when it talks back to you and it’ll change the voice only 👍🏼
@@npoleary Found it. Toll roads were "not" selected to be avoided, but there was one item under toll roads that that marked "avoid". I changed that to "Use". Thanks again Nick. OH! One other question. On the way home and on the freeway/major highway, my Blind Spot sensor inoperative and braking assist not fully functional warning s popped up on the MBUX driver's side screen. I went into systems settings and these items were "greyed" out...unable to turn them on or off. Got home, turned off the car and turned it back on and warnings came up again. That was Thursday. This morning started car to pull it out to wash and no warnings plus under systems, these items were no longer greyed out. ????? After washing pulled it into the garage and only had one small object warning screen/camera rather than small on left and larger on right of main MBUX screen. Appt made with my dealer. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thank you again
Ah awesome! Glad you sorted it! It could be because there was something obstructing the car’s radar and sensors etc like road dirt but no harm it getting it checked out!
Great video Nick, you always coming with interesting tips keep it up.
Thank you! 🤓
Very good! Thanks Nick!
Cool to know about the hold function :) thanks for that, even though I don't own Mercedes (yet :) ) Cheers mate
Useful content Very thorough
Great as always Nick
Nick your a life saver. I was getting worried my GLA didn’t have a hold option 😅
Hi Nick, great vlog with great tips and tricks. Thanks again
Thank you Jag! 👍🏼
Love your videos! Would you kindly do a tutorial on how to turn off the pesky service notification in the new AMG E63S? Hopefully it covers most models. Looking forward to the next video! Cheers!
Thanks myisf08, thanks for the suggestion! But sadly I don’t know how to do that :( Mercedes-Benz staff / technicians would probably know but most likely can only reset it if they themselves have carried out the service.
Hi Nick! Thanks for thr response. I think there's a way to do it. I've seen a few videos online but they were for older models. You seem to have a good rapport with the dealership, so I'm sure they wouldn't mind sharing that info with you. Best wishes!
Such great videos to be honest, easy to understand and helping to get the best out of these best cars. One question if you are available, do the different profiles in the MBUX system save the seating positions 1-3 separately? Thanks a lot!!
Thank you! 🙏 glad you enjoy them! Got some more stuff planned soon! Some models do, depends on the model that you have. If it has MBUX NTG 6 then most of the time each profile has 3 memory settings. So select your profile then you have your own memory settings for each one. MBUX NTG 7, when you load your profile up, it changes the seat automatically. MBUX NTG 6 has wavey lines for the voice assistant and MBUX NTG 7 has sparkles for the voice assistant (how you can easily tell the difference).
Thank you and keep it up!!!
Fantastic video, Nick, as always. 👍🏻 Question: Will my 2019 A180 saloon have the auto adaptive headlight system? Can’t say that I’ve noticed the lights “adapting” while driving. 🤔
Hey Ken, really sorry I wouldn’t know, it depends on what specification you have on your car. If you speak with your local Mercedes they’ll be able to let you know! Or…if you look at your headlight housing, if it says LED High Performance Lights, this is manual full beam. However if it says MULTIBEAM LED, this is the auto one. Hope that helps! 🤓
@@npoleary 🇬🇧 Many thanks for the info, Nick. I’m in the first category, so looking forward to “better next time “ I hope! 🥴 Cheers!
Mote than likely you won't have it. Its an expensive option. But worth it next time if you dont
Just here to point out that on tip #8 when you’re talking about range the blue circle indicates how far you can go using both electric and fuel. I’ve had an 2018 A-class and while it was Diesel, it showed the exact same range in your GPS system. Note that the hybrid systems in Mercedes have a range of about 80-100km max using electric only.

Thanks for another interesting and informative video Nick 👍👌
Thanks Mark! 🤓
Hi Nick, really useful videos. Is there a way to quickly zoom in and out on the map system? I have a E300 de and find it quite awkward to zoom in with the touch pad.
Hey Matt, if you have MBUX then you can pinch to zoom on the touchscreen itself. If it’s COMAND you can spin the wheel or use the touchpad in the middle to zoom in/out
@@npoleary thanks, yes tried that, but it’s quite slow compared to the wheel.
Great tips as usual. I've been using the HOLD feature since 2010 or 2012. Nick few questions: 1) Why is there a feature on the instrument panel to replace RMP with a small round navigation screen? What is the point when the display already has Navi. 2) Is the rain sensitive sunroof feature on the convertible top as well?
Thank you! I guess it’s just so people can choose, it gives you the option and you can choose what works for you 🤓 No sadly not on convertibles just on selected models with sunroofs
@@seekhimwithallyourheartand3358 Oh lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz...Janis Joplin
I actually use the round nav screen. I find it convenient to have it in front of me always, even at times when the central screen is being used for something else (passenger navigating media/ac controls/whatever). I have no use for the RPM anyway. I drive electric though.
@@aliskpradoactually you are right....using the round NAV allows you to use the screen for something else.
amazing thank you. Also regarding the next track button, i recently discovered you can also simply swipe the buttons, left or right, and it will change the track, without having to click it first and swipe to next etc.
Yeah some cars can do that! 🤓
Another excellent video Nick.
Nice tip .. just started using this feature !!
Great video again 👍
Great videos. I have seen them all while waiting for my GLB! I did not notice any video on side mirror dip and easy entry/exit! My GLB has these functions but I have problem setting the mirror dip even I have followed the manual and my easy entry/exit seems to only work if my seat to pulled towards the steering wheel. Does it mean that if it is set away from steering wheel it will not work?
Hi If you select left mirror so light is on before you select reverse then select reverse then adjust the mirror to where you want it while reversing the car will remember it. Where I have my seat only the backrest moves forward to let me out. I guess it depends where the position is you like to drive in.
Hey Malcolm, if your Mercedes does have this feature, I produced a video on it here: kzhead.info/sun/jbaIhJh6o3ekonk/bejne.html With easy and entry / exit, yes it will only work when the seat is up close.
Hello Thank you for all the videos it is very helpfull. I wanted to ask you if there is the option to set the side mirror to parking position automatically on the GLB 200?? Thank you
Hey Mootaz, it varies from model to model but you can see if your car can do it by selecting reverse and seeing if you one of your mirrors lights up (just above the window switch)
@@npoleary hey hey Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I will check if mine can do that.
No worries! 🤓
Hi Nick, Is there a way to change the orientation of the scroll? Similar to an iPad where an 'upward' finger motion actually moves the page down. Thanks!
Hey Alex, no sorry don’t recall seeing an Invert toggle anywhere
This channel has been so helpful, Thank you
Thank you! 🙏
Hi Nick, I've recently picked up my CLA SB 250e and I love it! I do have a question about the parking sensors though. When I reverse, the car 'beeps' in the back and the sensor sound is also far in the back, is there anyway to resolve this? Maybe hear the sensor sounds also in the stereo at the front? Thank you!
Hey Jarnus, just double check as the beeping from the pack is not the sensors. That beeping is on the outside for pedestrians etc The sounds for the parking sensors do come from the front but of course when you get near objects 🤓
@@npoleary Hi Nick, Damn you really are a product genius ;). Thank you for the info, I checked and you're right! Thank you for the fast reply!
No worries! Didn’t want you to think they were the sensors and hit something by accident! 🙃
Love you video question my 2020 gle350 vehicle display something blank out how to fix?
The multimedia system (centre screen) can be toggled on/off but any button will turn it back on usually 🤓
Thank you just learned that I can open my sunroof all the way rather than just a little crack on my w213 e350 :D
Thanks for the video...most of them are cool. I have an automatic sunroof in the Mercedes which closes to ventilation position should it start raining. Why it is not closing completely in the event of rain? Staying in ventilating position will allow water to get inside the vehicle, affecting the upholstery. Any reason for this?
Hey djsinusoid, no problem! Glad you enjoyed it! Really sorry I wouldn’t know why. At least it stops the main damage from water etc
Hi Nick Thank you very much for some very helpful instructions. I have just received my new E400D and I have an issue with MBUX voice command system which I was hoping you could help me with? I live in Denmark and the issue that I have is that the voice command system only comes in either English or German. The system is therefore useless when it comes to recognising Danish names (persons or streets). Then I watched your tip regarding assigning family members to “Hey Mercedes” and thought that was a way for me to at least be able to use the voice command system for my contacts. But, I then realised that my car does not have this functionality :-(. However, in the same menu it does come with the functionality “Add voice tag” and I thought that this would work in a similar way (e.g. recording the word “brother” as voice tag would mean that I could call my brother by saying “call my brother” to “Hey Mercedes”). However, it does not seem to work and I cannot find any instructions on what “Add voice tag” does, not in the manual and not online. The big question I was hoping you could help me with is therefore if adding a voice tag can help me with my language challenge, i.e. what does a “voice tag” do and how does it work?
Hey Martin, no worries glad you enjoyed the videos! Really sorry I’m not sure I’ll be able to assist as MBUX varies massively round the world so there may be different features etc The voice tag in the UK is to assign a name for the voice assistant to read out so if it was reading out incorrectly, you can give it a custom name.
How do i find all features available on Vito(2021). Would like to use wifi feature . Also, where can i find SD card used on GPS system?
Really sorry I’ve not driven a Vito or even sat in one. Probably recommend just contacting one of the Mercedes commercial dealerships and they’ll be able to assist with what the car has 👍🏼
Hey Nick Thanks for the great videos. Please can you do a video on Mercedes Benz tires if possible please
Hey Tshepiso Moloko, thanks for the suggestion! What did you want to know about tyres? Sadly car manufacturers like Mercedes don’t make their own tyres, instead they usually opt for Premium branded tyres like Continentals, Pirellis among others too. This varies from model to model and I’m sure is different round the world too.
@@npoleary Thank you. Yes I totally agree and understand. Mercedes Benz doesnt manufacture its own tires. One of the topics that could assist is an average or estimated time to change tires(This is relative question since its also dependent on each driver) - My model is using Bridgestone, the car has about 37000km on it and the dealerships say tires need to be changed every 20000km some say every 40000km and tyre manufactures say a different figure Secondly with the technology that our cars have. Surely there should be a way of seeing when a car's tyres are installed or removed. Like a log sheet or report on tyres. So just the understanding on the technology around the car and the tyres. There's already some good online videos on tyres pressures but none on what Mercedes has installed.
I’ve the auto full beam but have experienced issues dazzling oncoming traffic on A roads. It’s great on country lanes without traffic but in reality not so clever on other roads.
hello Nick, do you think that in some update of mbux the screen will be used for Apple CarPlay in full size? There are other brands that do this. greetings and congratulations for your videos
I wish it was full screen too but there are other manufacturers who have come across the same issue before. The reason is because MBUX is available in two screen sizes, 7” & 10.25”. When designing and coding I’m led to believe that you can only choose one (to maintain compatibility) for everything. So to make sure it works on all models, Mercedes of course had to go with the 7” version, which is perfect for 7” owners but of course leads to a cropped experience if you have a 10.25” screen. Fingers crossed that future models have a workaround for this 🤞🏼
@@npoleary Thank you for your answer!!!
I just subscribed. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
Hi Nick, enjoy all your videos , watch many . I purchased in car office. I have set it up for my email account it’s on my car MMI but when I open it it only displays “please wait”. I hv been on the merc. Q&A to get help and into my local dealer to ask for help but nothing has been forth coming. Do you know where I can go or what do I do for help . I did watch you video on setting up in car office and followed your step by step process but mine does not get to the add pin, when I try to open. Only as I say , please wait ? Hopeful you can advise . Many thanks 🙏🏻
Hey Toto, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Really sorry I’ve only used it a couple of times as it’s not really a feature I use day to day. I guess one thing they could try is if they remove the car from the account and link it back up just to see if that makes anything work? Other than that, I would imagine your local Mercedes would have to have a look with the car or your account just to double check it’s set up in the right way. Just thinking about it too, double check the permissions from the Office 365 / Gmail side as privacy settings that end may be blocking it.
Hi Nick interesting stuff, one question on Brake Hold feature how much of an incline does it work on?
I have used this function intermittently for a while now, I believe it doesn’t matter if on a flat or incline/declining surface, certainly nothing I have noticed whilst using it. I mainly use it when in slow moving traffic where I maybe stationary for a bit longer than normal
Hey Paul, Bill’s right! It’s works on any incline (certainly anything I’ve tried anyway)
Hey nick I did ask you ages ago about “speed alert” it would be great vid to show people about it. As you know I had this on my car last year and I caught someone from Mercedes’ doing 100 MPH yes 100 MPH so please do this cheers. By the way great vid today 👍
Hey Paul, yes I’m hoping to cover some Mercedes me tips and tricks soon! I’ll add it to the list of potential future videos 🤓
Worth mentioning that your wipers need to be in the auto setting in order for the automatic sunroof close feature to work.
@nick hey,iv got a Mercedes E250 coupe W212 how do i brighten up the footwell bulbs & the ember colour light inside the door handle (inside the car) ? Its a 2012 if that helps,not sure if Mercedes has some tool they can do this via a coding thing
Hey! Sadly I only started my KZhead channel in 2020 part time but now do it full time. I’ve not ever sat in one of that year so wouldn’t know if it can be adjusted. I thought the bulk of Mercedes Ambient Lighting adjustments and things kind of came out around 2014 with a few models allowing adjustment and the colour etc. Might be worth getting in touch with them and see if they can advise although I’m not sure they can modify anything via their OBD ports.
Hi Nick, great video! I have an issue with my 'hey Mercedes'.... It keeps saying currently offline. It was working fine. Any idea how I fix this?
Hey Chris, thank you! The voice assistant runs through Mercedes me, so just make sure: You have a Mercedes me Account Your car is linked Terms of Use Accepted And your Services are switched on either on the app or the Mercedes me website. Hope that helps!
@@npoleary thanks Nick. Yes I have a Mercedes Me account but that's not getting updates. I'll contact my dealer. Thanks for your reply 👍
Luv the hold feature !
Hi Nick, Thank you for your video. I have a problem with my driver seat. all the batons don't work and the seat don't move plus the heater switches on for 2 seconds and switches off. vehicle C200 2015. hope you can help
That doesn’t sound right! They should always work, have you spoken with Mercedes? Defo think you should speak to them and get a technician to check it out 👍🏼
Awesome video, thank you so much. better than the owner's manual!!
Thank you! 🙏
Hi Nick, is the full beam feature you described in tip #7 bound to the "Multi Led" option? Must you have the "Multi Led" option in your Mercedes Benz in order to enjoy what you describe in that tip?
Hey ikura72, that tip will apply to: Intelligent Light System (ILS) Multibeam LED Digital Light Long as you’ve got one of those, you can manually override it 🤓
Great video as usual, although I didn't understand the Full Beam Manual Control part.
Hey Ahmed, basically some models have an AUTO full beam where it’ll dip the lights automatically when cars come toward you. This tip is how you override that feature and do it manually 🤓
@@npoleary Oh I see now 😅 thanks
Hi Nick, I take the opportunity to ask you in this video, because I see the symbol "P" in blue appearing for example at 3:00, when you are explaining about the "Hold" functionality. Can you tell me what this blue "P" is? If it is related to the parking slot search feature, why does it appear although I didn't explicitly ask for my E200 to search for a parking spot, by pressing the camera/P button at the central console (between driver and passenger) ? Thanks and cheers, Kim
Hey Kim, yes that’s right it’s to do with parking assistance. However if you’re not sure if your car has it, double check with your local Mercedes dealership and they can let you know. Some cars made after 2020 sadly don’t have parking assist anymore so check to be sure. The Blue P comes on when it’s scanning for spaces which it will always do below 20mph. Got a video on it here: kzhead.info/sun/eLqSmpR9npmEbGg/bejne.html
Thank you. Love my intelligent LED lights, but on point 7, would probably find switching the light dial to 1 o'clock harder than the occasional want of having full beam in a built up area and holding the stalk.
Another great video with tips
Thank you! 👍🏼🙏
Nick, we have the previous shape A Class and the new shape A class. Is there a way to start the car straight into Eco mode on either or both models?
Hey P Bateman, no sadly not they can only start on their default modes. I’m pretty sure all manufacturers have to do this now. You can change it though straight away when getting in 🤓
@@npoleary okay thanks Nick, I appreciate the response. Keep up the good work.
The hold function was implemented in or before 2014. I knew it from a 2014 C300 commercial. Mercedes hold function is much better than other manufacturers’ hold. With Mercedes you can decide each time when you stop if you want to hold just using your foot. Natural. But most other brands assign a button for it you have to press/pull to engage or disengage. It’s very frustrating when you need it for one sec and then you stop a second time but you don’t need it (parking), but it holds itself again.
E-350 2009 has the hold function, amazing function.
Our old W204 C class also has this
Hi Nick I’ve noticed a camera symbol on my dash by where the hold message is but it goes out when I go over about 20mph …can you enlighten me on what this means Ty in advance 👍
Hey Jason, I haven’t seen that before as far as I recall…what model of Mercedes do you have and what year?
Hello I have a question I have a 2023 glb 250 4matic they have run flats now the pirelli scorpion zero run flats but they feel soft so I was considering of changing them but Im not sure if I should choose run flats or non run flat and I heard the ones I have they dont say what the treadwear warranty is? Thank you
Really sorry I’ve not ever owned a car with run flats. If it were me I would just replace tyres with the ones already on the car (I know you don’t have to) but just due to my lack of knowledge in that area, that’s what I’d personally do. Possibly a video idea for when I need to change tyres on my own car for sure! Might be worth just contacting Mercedes and see what they say? Or even a local garage who’s very experienced with lots of tyre brands who can advise!
Is there a way to disable the auto lock and unlock of my 2021 C43 for handles? I want to use my key only especially for the drivers door to prevent car jacking if im next to the car door and attacked at that moment.
Hey Thomas, have you seen my 10 Way to Secure your Mercedes? kzhead.info/sun/otGtj7GBnKKlpHA/bejne.html You can turn off KEYLESS ENTRY and even limit the number of doors that unlock
Thank you so much
Hi Nick, Any chance you can do a video of fitting a tow bar (B class AMG)?
Hey John, really sorry my licence doesn’t cover towing and also I don’t own anything that can be towed so my knowledge on it is extremely limited. I know there are places that can fit tow bars to certain cars depending or not if they can. Bit of a tricky one!
The hold one is so helpful!
Hi Nick enjoying your chanel. Wondering, I felt some shuddering on a new car as it slowed down to turn at a corner.. I was told that the car (GLC) learns driving habits and this shuddering our small jerking movements go away? Is this true?
Hey Active Child, hmmm it depends to be honest, the only “shuddering” I would describe on new cars is the mild hybrid system (if you have it on yours). The engine can go off on these models as you slow down to save fuel and you can feel it ever so slightly. But yes it is right Mercedes gearboxes do learn their drivers driving habits overtime and adapt accordingly. If you think something is wrong though, get in touch with your local Mercedes retailer and they can check it out for you. Glad you’re loving the videos! 🤓👍🏼
@@npoleary Thanks so much for replying..I pick up this beauty today :)) Hoping it runs like butter!
Hi Nick, Thanks so much for all the tips you share ! I've got a question : there is no more touchpad on the A Class Mercedes in 2023. Is there any new tips / workaround about the 3:52 "Next Track Button" ? I guess I'll miss this feature so much 😢
No worries! Yes I defo will cover that in the future! 🤓 Do you have the new facelift A-Class? 🤓
I currently drive a 2020 GLA 200, with the touchpad. But I just ordered a CLA 250e, will get it at the end of the year. So... no touchpad 😢 Great for future tips and tricks for the A-Class facelift! Looking forward to it! 🤩
Thankyou 👍👍👍👍
Great tips Nick. Learned a few new things about my merc. Btw, what's that tablet you are holding at 7:07 mark?
Ah that’s not a tablet, that’s a What3Words sign 🤓 It says ///twice.hugs.spins That’s the front door of Mercedes Poole on the What3Words app
@@npoleary aha.. got it.
Thank you, Nick, for the hidden gems! I have the 2021 E350 with a standard sunroof, not a panoramic sunroof. Would the rainsensor cause the standard sunroof to close automatically too?
Potentially! Sadly it’s not mentioned anywhere on Mercedes specs that I’ve seen. It’s one of those hidden features so you might just have to try it out Or if you get in touch with your local Mercedes, they might be able to advise
It should. I have a 2014 E350 Bluetec and if water falls on the rain sensor it closes the sunroof but leaves it tilted. I guess it's a safety feature to ensure it stays tilted up in case the owner left it open for a reason.
Hi David, not ever seen the standard sunroof fitted. Please could you find a way of letting me see this on your car, many thanks.
Now that I joined the Mercedes-Benz fam1 2days ago, am definitely subscribing to your channel for more information about Mercedes-Benz. Am so scared to even start messing with the settings. This helps. #NJ #USA
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos so far! Ooo which model of Mercedes did you get? 👀
@@npoleary I got the 2022 GLC 300 4Matic. Am waiting for the EQS SUV to arrive in 🇺🇸. My dream car
Thanks Nick.
Cheers Nick 🍻
Hey Nick, I just bought a Mercedes A200, its the 2014 model. Will this model have break hold?
Should do! 🤓👍🏼
I almost died @8:06 when I saw the cars coming in the opposite direction being that I'm from the US and they were on the "wrong" side of the road. lol
Now that is aspirational.☺️
hi nick .. ı have 2019 C238 e300 coupe .. any secret button (except remote) for 4 windows down/up like cabrio one ??
Hey DUCA, no sadly for the coupe models it’s just the window switches on the door. There isn’t a universal button to do them all
Great video. Learned a lot.
Thanks Alex! 🤓😎
@@npoleary I just bought a 2022 AMG cla 35 and I can’t wait to use the hold feature now. I have a question. I have the leather seats with the red striping and the suede like material. Is it actually suede or something else? Thank you!
I believe it is yes 🤓
@@npoleary I love it even more now.
Hi Nick how do i get speed camera locations on my navigation,cla amg line ,thanks
Sadly you can’t, it’s illegal where Mercedes is made! But if you can, use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto as they have speed cameras on there
@@npoleary brill thanks Nick
Nick, can you help? I will be taking delivery of a new Mercedes CLA Premium Plus and I wondered if the car will be able to park itself safely in my garage? Thanks, Will of Derby
Hey William, oooo very nice! 👌🏼 Sadly no the vast majority of Mercedes models haven’t had Active Parking Assist for the last couple of years now. It was removed under a United Nations Regulation back in 2020.
7:50 About the Full Beam Control (at least to W205 vehicles), I own the C Coupe W205 (bought the first in 2016, the second in 2018) with this feature and I never ever not even once managed to drive on the high scale of lights and not been flashed from opposite coming cars (that my lights annoy them) and have to move to the lower scale manually (using the lever).
Strange. I have a 2014 E350 Bluetec which was the first model to have those adaptive lights just after the W222 S Class came out in 2013. I've never been flashed and they react so well and so quickly.
Very strange; I've never been flashed either.
Hello, I own an E300 premium 2021 and the question that I have : is there any option to disable side and centre mirrors dimming in the night . They auto dim and this kind of inconvenient to me since I have installed tinting on my windows and when they dim in the night, you would barely see in these mirrors. Please help Thanks
Hey AlaaEddin, really sorry I wouldn’t know if this is possible. There certainly isn’t anything to control on the multimedia system side (no settings on that function) as it automatic. Have you spoken with your local Mercedes? They’re probably the best people to ask, they might be able to advise what to do, I’m not sure where the sensor is but something could potentially be placed over it or something, or they might be able to switch it off in their workshops or something. Sorry but I hope that helps!
