This guy is so hilarious and simple his explanations are so easy to grasp.
It’s so easy to learn from this man, like his way of explaining things
You are terrific: informative and even entertaining without being annoying, as some folks are as they attempt humor. Good job.
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.
Thank you for sharing the tips. The acceleration pedal was very helpful.
same here
OMG- Thank You so much for doing this video with these tips. I have owned MB for several years; yet, I didn’t even know about these features.
This was awesome!!!! Thank you for the non boring video. Your great !
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...!
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.
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.
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.
New to the MB family and we love our 2020 E350 sport coup. Thanks for the great vids.
amazing video, learned a ton as a new glc 43 owner thanks!
I purchased my first MB in January 2021. It is a 2015 GLK 350 4MATIC. I love your informative videos! Thank you!
How’s it holding up so far
@@nkwosamuelchimaobi6686 My car is holding up very well.
@@nkwosamuelchimaobi6686 I have one those things are F*cking reliable if U want to get a glk make sure u get from 2013-2015
That head light tip was awesome! Own my car for 18 months!
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!
Yes, it takes a few tries to get used to it. It's called defensive driving.
Thanks for this great and informative video! And for making me laugh too. So I knew about the coat hook but I didn’t know about any of the other stuff! So thank you very much.
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 kzhead.info/sun/ga9vYbKhpJOGiJE/bejne.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 kzhead.info/sun/iNFtk7ComJ2Cra8/bejne.html
Great production, lots of smiles. I only knew of three items shown. Thanks
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 :-)
Great video and very informative! Thank you for what you do,
I didn't know any of them. Your videos are informative and funny. Thank you!
Another useful video.thank you and I m looking forward in videos with the new models of merc
Great stuff. I didn't know any of them. Thank goodness for that coat hook. All the best from snowy Toronto.
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.
You're doing an amazing job man! Thank you! You have my full respect and appreciation!
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 😅
😂
Didn't know any of these!! Thanks for sharing!!
This is awesome, I was about to think my new gls had some serious issues. Great video
Excellent information, explains everything clearly
Thank you so much for that pertinent information!!!!!
I did not know about the volume, thank you for the useful info.
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.
You are correct
I really like this guy and his explanations
This man is genius best video to learn about Mercedes thank you for sharing
I’m picking up my first Mercedes tomorrow and I am so excited. Your video was very helpful.😊
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.
I am a new Mercedes owner and going thru everything I am learning here. Thank you so much.. :}
Thanks bro! Well explained, you own my subscription...👍👍👍
Great videos. Thank you. Learned so much.
I knew three don'ts. Thanks, good video!
Thank you for the headlight tip! I'm getting one this weekend, and had no idea about the lights having no off switch.
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. 😊
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.
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."
Excellent videos! The best! Thank you.
Congrats man, great tips! Thnx!
Love your content. Thank you!
Spacibo! Certainly a very useful lesson to know, especially, for new MB owners. I still can't remove Service A/B after the oil change.
dont have an idea about all the 10 donts, great piece
Great video learned alot and to the point
Valuable info. I have a GLS SUV but I don't know these till today. Thanks.
How has your GLS been, any issues?
pretty good. just need to do the service A and B. after that everything shall be fine. It is expensive to do after the warranty does now cover.@@bt4b4
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.
#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.
Rich people shouldn't have to hold brake
Everyone with a Mercedes is not rich... but i'm working on it!
@@AgentOffice good design doesn’t care about your bank account.

#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!
Hahaha 😆 the humor makes this lecture interesting. I like it, very informative

Thanks for the sub!
Excelent tips... Thanks!!👌👍✌️
Good work thank you sir.
Tnx mate! Learned a lot!
Wow!!! love and depend on your videos. I learn 4 new tricks!!!
Thanks, very cool video. Big Like. Now, the new GLE makes one and then 3 loud and annoying rigs/bells/alarm sounds first when you enter and start your Benz. I switched from 2019 to 2022 and immediately noticed it on the new one. One of your "don't" about the REST button can hear those sounds. Any idea on how to lower the volume or turn it off completely? I appreciate you looking into this.
I really learnt a lot. Thank you
I love your show 😂 I have a question: which is cheaper to maintain the S450 normal or the S560 4matics! And which year do you recommend 2018, 2019 or 2020?. Thank you 🙏
Never get a manual, all the German engineering went into the automatic.
Planning on buying my first Mercedes. I have no clue what I’m getting into. Thanks for the tips
Omg I learned so much from this video lol thank you 😊

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.
Oh man, I enjoy watching your video. More power.
More to come!
Thanks for your videos I do learn a lot from it. I have two questions.1 if you press down on the pedal as you said to get power to speed,will it take too much fuel by doing that, 2 questions, what the the difference between the eco and comfort while driving,will I save more fuel by using the eco drive?
Yes, if you step hard on accelerator - it will use more gas, but it will provide you much more power. So use as you need. I recommend using "Individual" mode instead of ECO or Comfort. Watch my other video about those settings demo, even if you have a different model, it will still give you an idea how to use it here: bit.ly/MBZM-DS
A+ video..thank you.
What a brilliant video mate I have a 2019 e class amg night edition convertible it’s some car
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) ...
