10 Frequently Asked Questions on Mercedes! | Part 1

[@queenie4837]

You are a fount of all knowledge. I wonder why the dealers don't tell us all this information when we buy a car??

[@npoleary]

Thank you Queenie! 🤓 There’s a lot to go through on cars, if a request was made to go through everything it could easily take an hour or two. 😅 Most large Mercedes-Benz dealerships in the UK have Star Experts who can assist with product info and how things work on cars just in case you get stuck! 🤓

[@shadowblack1987]

They do... 1-2 hours of hands on when buying a new Mercedes AMG... Always...

My dealership offers a personal assistant to walk you through everything if you want.

[@pankajnaik2708]

1. Many dealers doesn’t know all features 2. They tell you while taking delivery of the car ( I have this experience ) but not as detailed as how Nick explains . I always go through Nicks playlist to solve my doubt if I don’t get any answer then I ask for help to Nick and bingo .. Nick always answers . Amazing !!! Great work Nick .

Thank you Nick, I had a 10 o’clock appointment with my dealer today to ‘fix’ that annoying rear seatbelt warning sign on my GLE , but now I can cancel it. Mercedes need to remove it or handle it more elegantly as most folks think it’s a seat belt malfunction .Thanks again, great job.

[@josephbuhagiar6532]

That was really good, useful and to the point Nick. I picked up my CLA Shooting Brake two weeks ago now. It’s in Patagonia Red (metallic) and I was really relieved that the red/black leather seats really complimented it rather than overpowered it. The reason is the dark glass all round does not let you see the seats till you’re inside and sitting obviously hides a lot of the red anyway. I really recommend the choice. I learnt from five out of ten of your video points today so that is super brilliant. Nick, nobody does it better so please hang around.🇬🇧🇲🇹👍

[@npoleary]

Thank you Joseph! 😇😇 Ooo nice, I’d still love a CLA, they look so smart! Ah nice, I’ll be honest haven’t actually seen the red interior either but coupled with Patagonia Red I bet it’s a match made in heaven!

Genuinely respect your safety oriented advice. I'm in Miami, a tourist destination. I've been in two serious accidents, both times my car was hit and spun out into the street (oncoming traffic) by people on their phone not paying attention. I'm only in my 20s but my back is wrecked from those incidents happening less than a year apart + military service. People come down here and think it's the time for them to drink and drive, party and drive, etc without regard for the people who live here. Thank God my nephew or niece weren't in the car with me.

Hey Antya, I have noticed since making this video that not all models have that menu item. It was introduced at some point meaning that it’ll probably be updated when you next have it in for service or an Over the Air Update is sent.

[@alessandrosordilli8404]

Hi Nick, congrats for all these fantastic videos. I’ve recently bought a B-class and have been reading about the active lane keeping assist. In your video you say it can keep the lane breaking the opposite wheels. From what I read, there are two different systems: - active lane keeping assist: this works if you have distronic, and is able to steer the steering wheels and keep the car in the lane, and keeping constant distance from the car ahead; - the system that takes you back in the lane, I think it’s part of the attention assist and it’s designed to prevent accidents from falling asleep. In fact it looks like that from Mercedes’ studies neither the horn sound nor the vibrating steering wheel were sufficient to wake up the driver. Hence they have opted for this stronger option of braking with the opposite wheels. I think all recent Mercedes have the latter, while the distronic is an optional, and in fact this is the case for my B-class, where I have the latter, but not the first system (only have cruise control, without adaptive technologies). Would you agree or am I missing something? Cheers and happy Christmas, please keep doing these fantastic videos!

[@npoleary]

Thank you! I covered wuite a few safety tech inventions by Mercedes in this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5KpmKZupKaChLc Active Lane Keeping Assist is starting to appear on more cars than ever before these days. Some models of Mercedes can brake one side to jolt you back into lane, some can steer you back in. Just depends on the year of manufacture from what I’ve seen 👍🏼 And yes Distronic is quite a rare one but very useful for driving on a motorway for a long period of time

[@mattbird7313]

Thanks for the videos, very useful and informative. My question is why on MBUX on the 10 inch screen does car play not show in full screen? I know they have optimised it for the smaller screen but surely there must be a way to full screen it on the 10 inch and why is Mercedes refusing to do this despite public demand? It looks awful cropped on the big display.

[@npoleary]

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 🤞🏼

[@pankajnaik2708]

Hey nick , loved this . Appreciated. What I don’t like or don’t know about Mercedese is - 1. When we drive the car with Adaptive cruise control or Distronic on and if any vehicle comes in front then car slows down , let’s say , I am driving at 130 and vehicle in front appears then it slow downs to let’s say 80 based on speed of front vehicle . But if that vehicle moves out of the lane then Mercedes take pick up crazily from 80 to 130 which is like lot of push , can’t be more steady growth in speed rather than sudden push ? 2. When we drive with distronic and current road sign for speed is 120 after few meters if it’s 50 then car starts slowing down once it reaches 50 symbol road sign which again takes time slow down . Ideally this should be reduced to 50 before it reaches speed sign post of 50 . BMW works awesome for this . (I hope you are getting what I am trying to ask ) Do you know how to handle this ?

[@npoleary]

Hey Pankaj, thank you! For number 1, I had seen that on some cars it does depend on what driving mode you’re in. So if you’re in Sport, then it’ll accelerate faster. Eco of course will be slower. They don’t all do that and I believe it’s models with MBUX that might have that functionality. I remember reading about it in a manual once. For number two, yes this is normal for cars with Traffic Sign Assist. When the camera has scanned the sign that’s when it can adopt the speed limit (usually once you’ve past it). Not sure how other manufacturers work with that feature.

[@pankajnaik2708]

@@npoleary Hey Nick , Thanks for your reply . 1. Number 1 : I tested it in all mode specially in Eco mode and comfort but it behaves same .. faster acceleration.

Thank you! 🤓 Seatbelt chime? Is that the one when the belt isn’t clipped in?

[@bazookajoe-theguybehindthe4205]

Another great video Nick. Had my new E300 cabriolet Night Edition since the first of March and still learning some great things about MBUX. Just waiting for Mercedes to activate the Dashcam facility Keep up the great work

Thanks Bazooka Joe! Glad you liked the videos! Ooo very nice an E 300 Cabriolet! Very smart! Just in time for summer too!

Thanks for another great video Nick. 2 points I pick from it the rear seat belt warning I do not get on my 2019 A class 180d sport exec. also the internet in the car I'm with EE and can share data could I share it with the car?

[@npoleary]

Hey Ronnie, thank you! Not sure if it varies from model to model as they might not all have that. Sadly no the data is one way, the car is essentially a router and can send internet out to your devices if you have a valid subscription.

[@rahulbhide3581]

Great video Nick. Have you by any chance done a comprehensive video on the Command NTG 5.5 system? and where can I find it. Thanks

[@npoleary]

Hey Rahul, I haven’t no :( But…it’s been requested quite a lot so I’m considering making one 🤓

Thanks Nick, you’re videos are really helpful. I’ve recently bought a 2018 A Class. For some reason the satnav keeps trying to navigate home without me telling it to. Sometimes it starts doing it even when I’m driving from home! Is there a setting somewhere I’ve missed?

[@npoleary]

Ah awesome! Thank you! I’ve actually covered it in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6OqiqN_j82tmMk It’s called the Commuter Route 🤓

[@marka8246]

I just keep the rear seatbelts clipped in , that stops it showing up every time you turn on the car .

[@josephbuhagiar6532]

Good idea👍

[@legaltechinnovations1594]

I hear you. But one in three drives my kids are in the back. So it is an annoying, unnecessary feature

[@marka8246]

@@legaltechinnovations1594 It drives you mad !! I suppose I’m lucky I don’t usually carry anybody in the back one of the thing that really drives me mad is having to disable the stop start every time you get in just don’t like it ,just puts extra wear on the starter motor And I’m very sceptical if it actually saves you any fuel

There are some useful vids here, and similarly in a lot of videos on KZbin. You know what it REALLY proves in most instances though, is that people have never opened the handbook. (Doesn't apply to just cars either).

[@markshaz8691]

Thanks Nick this was really helpful

[@npoleary]

No problem Mark!

[@audreyraby8867]

thank you for your quick response. From the instruction manual it suggests that the tow away protection (and interior protection if that is also deactivated) will be primed again when we open the door to get out and then lock the vehicle. We think this is what went wrong on the IOW ferry, however we are now going to do a 30 hour crossing to spain. Can you advise?

[@npoleary]

Hey Audrey, just press it as you leave and it’ll stay off until you next unlock and lock the car again 🤓 So for example, if you deactivated it but forgot something and unlocked the car and got back in and left again, you’ll need to repeat the process.

[@rigdigwus]

on the electric/hybrid cars. do the break lights actually light up when you slow down with recuperation, especially on the D-- setting?

[@npoleary]

Yes they do but only on the ones that brake the most 🤓 D+ = No D = No D- = Yes D- - = Yes

[@rigdigwus]

Think Mercedes are working on it for future models! C-Class 2022, S-Class 2022, EQS 2022 can do this now 👀 Basically any model with the MBUX on the portrait styled screen in the middle as it’s multimedia system can do this.

Hello Nick! thanks for your video, i wonder if you could help me out locating the front-passenger airbag-off button as i would like to put a baby seat there.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ah the video you watched is episode 1 of 4 of frequently asked questions on my channel. I answer that in episode 2 so be sure to check them all out! 😅 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2KnZYiYfquMfdk No 7 in the list Sadly you can’t as it not considered safe to unless it’s specific Mercedes child seat which has crash safety features built in.

[@DavidFrishman-t9d]

thank you for your response. part 2 covers installation of car seat in second row. im looking for installation in seat next to the driver and disabling airbag for that matter@@npoleary

[@npoleary]

Ah if you chat to Mercedes, they don’t recommend it as it is less safe in a crash. If you must do that then a Mercedes child seat must be purchased in order to disable the passenger airbag.

[@anwen640]

Thank you for the videos Nick. Just bought a Mercedes’ for the first time and I’m checking out your videos before I even drive it. Your content has reached Australia! Two questions - if you want to drive forwards into a car park (parking assist) where do you stop the car in relation to the spot? And when the car is moving in or out of a car park and you disconnect the active parking assist (ie accidentally) can you can re engage it again?

[@npoleary]

Oh wow! That’s awesome! Glad you’re enjoying them! Ah it’ll tell you on the screen once you’ve gone far enough (usually a car length after the space) Sadly no, once deactivated for example if you touch the wheel and move it, there is no way to deactivate until unless you drive past the space again.

Hi, is there any way to remote Start mercedes using keyfob? I mean without using mercedes me and smart phones. My car is E450 4matic 2019 Thanks,

Hey Ramzi, unfortunately no not here in the UK. You can only do this if it has an auxiliary heater which is found on hybrids or electric cars.

Good job. For me is interesting how is working traffic jam assist.
