On Uk AMG GLC 2.2 diesels the HOLD display is at the bottom of the main instrument binnacle below Speedo. That was a brilliant tip which after 5 years of ownership of 3 of the same models I never knew it existed - makes traffic light waits so much more relaxing 👍👍👍

[@kay64]

[@npoleary]

Thanks Kay!

[@sgvern1]

The “HOLD” feature has become one of my favorites. I can truly relax at a stop light, and take my foot off the brake. I still tend to keep my foot ready for the brake, but I have never had a problem with it. Just a light pressure on the gas pedal releases the break and you go. It is also good fun for a quick start with heavier pressure on the gas. BTW, I also have a Sprint Booster that increases the throttle response that makes quick starts even easier and more fun.

[@npoleary]

Totally agree! I love that HOLD feature, it's so convenient. I think all cars should have it!

[@laurieross6983]

[@Gizmoegram]

I didn’t have this feature on the old W205 c class but have this feature on my E300...it’s really good

[@nightfall8190]

Gizmoegram Hold doesn't damage the break by the time?! I am hesitant to do it

[@npoleary]

Hi Night Fall, Nope not at all! By pressing down harder (when stationary) you’re basically letting the car know you want the brake to stay on. The car’s computer will show HOLD on the screen and it will not move whatsoever. As soon as you wish to go just lightly press the accelerator 👍🏼

[@GrrMeister]

*I had a W246 B Class 2014 and the HOLD function it worked a treat, however now replaced car with the current Model B200CDi AMG W247 and it works but needs 'more of a knack' Also the Cruise Control (on Stalk) on W246 Models I preferred to the rather small buttons on Steering Wheel on the latest series. **3:00** The Keyless Entry - my car has a tracking device (Standard) to identify where the car is and with the Mercedes ME App will alert you if car moved and show its precise location. However no one wants their car stolen so a good tip to turn this off if parking in a Public Space. Regarding 'Favorites' the MBUX will store and recall your last destinations, home, work address but also if you have in your Contacts the address of a person you can simply say "Navigate to Joe Bloggs' and it will do so with an option of routes.*

[@npoleary]

Hi GrrMeister, Yeah absolutely right about all of those things! Sounds like you're enjoying your B-Class!

[@GrrMeister]

@@npoleary *Very much so and got 83.2 MPG the other day on a 39 Mile run, staggering ! Took a photo as no one believes you (in Eco Mode) which the car goes into 'freewheel mode' when lifting throttle, amazing how far will coast for with engine on tickover.*

[@SDav21]

You can hold the button for 2 seconds and release. Maybe it changed on new models. But I know you don't have to keep holding the recirc button. You just keep it pressed till the windows start moving then release.

[@GunnyPhillips]

Thanks for another great video, Nick. The recirculation memory tip doesn't seem to work on my 2018 S450. Should it?

Hi Nick. Great video! Will definitely use the hold feature😀 Any idea if you can always disable Lane Assist? This has become a daily first thing to disable when I enter my CLA 2020..

[@npoleary]

Hi Brent, Yes that HOLD feature is great, I use it everyday! With the new CLA, it comes with Active Lane Keeping Assist as standard and yes as you’ve noticed, it does come on automatically every time you turn it on. As it’s a safety feature it can’t be turned of permanently. It’s designed to stop you leaving the lane if you accidentally drifted to one side of the road, however if you indicate when you know you’re going to go over a line in the road, it switches it off temporarily so you won’t have that jolt when it brings you back into lane. Hope that helps!

Please can you do a step by steps video on how to setup blind spot and automatic folding mirrors on mercedes benz B class 2018 b180 AMG

[@npoleary]

Hey thanks for the suggestion! Blind Spot Assist is enabled by default on cars that have it as far as I’m aware. Sadly I only started my KZbin channel in 2020 so have limited coverage of models prior to that. I’m not sure my local dealer has any models in from 2018. I haven’t been there for a little while so don’t know what years of car they have in stock. Pretty sure on that year of car though, both of those things are controlled on the steering wheel. Using left/right buttons on the steering wheel keep pressing right until you get to settings. Then look in there for Blind Spot Assist and then also under I think Convenience, this is where you find mirror folding, again if it has it. Hope that helps!

[@digitalmoe81]

Great video, really helpful, thank you. Quick question, the tip with pressing the lock button on the key twice to turn the keyless go off ...will this stop the keyless entry hack that some thieves use to steal cars?

[@npoleary]

Hi Moe, Absolutely! All Mercedes-Benz vehicles have extensive security and anti-theft protection systems with this included which turns off the key completely. Just bear in mind this function is "per key" so if you have a spare, you'll need to do it to that one too.

[@digitalmoe81]

Nick O'Leary thanks for the reply...I’m keeping both keys inside a signal blocker pouch lol ...but recently started doing the double press on the key after watching your video

[@guillermobremer4056]

Nick, there is an even faster way to change a music track while you are on navigation menu or any menu. on the same area of the touchpad were you click to change track with a pop up menu. You do not have to click. simply SWIPE your finger from left to right on top of touchpad (Same area were you click to change tracks) but no click. just simply SWIPE from left to right to go to NEXT track or from RIGHT to left to go to Previous. It is less distracting than the pop up menu!

[@npoleary]

Hey Guillermo, absolutely! This was one of the first videos I ever made on KZbin but since then I’ve produced many more! One of them was a frequently asked question about just that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5Kvc6OMg6ejoK8 It does vary from model to model as they’re not all the same.

How can I use the default Mercedes navigation, while having my phone plugged in, playing it's music, etc.?

[@npoleary]

Hey Tony, I could be wrong but it sounds like you’re using Apple CarPlay? Just bear in mind that you can only use one or the other of the two systems. This is because they are completely separate to each other. To use the Mercedes navigation you’ll need to not launch Apple CarPlay (plug it into a different USB port or something).

Hello Nick, your videos are lifesavers. I got my new E450 and being a computer engineer I had a hard time figuring out how all tech features work. Yours are very simple and informative, NOT from the original manuals. Question, two out of ten times I can't lock the door with my thumb on the door sensor, same on other doors. I discovered that it works when I press the palm of my hand covering the whole door handle. Is this normal? I thank you very much if you can help.

[@npoleary]

Hey Millikan, thank you and glad you like the videos! 👊🏼 No it should work every time however I do know the sensitivity has been reduced for newer cars so there does have to be a very distinct touch on the door handle for it to work. If you don’t think something is right though if you get in touch with your local dealership I’m sure they’ll be able to help you out!

[@millikenway]

@@npoleary Thank you from Toronto. Yes, you probably are right, I feel the sensitivity on the door handle is significantly less than my Lexus GS350 before. The GS never fails once on locking and unlocking. Nick, I think the Mercedes manual is really hard digging up practical info for new users, I hope the sales team can come out with a quick simple guide like a collection of what you and other guys have been telling on KZbin. You talked good and each video was very professionally made, really enjoyed all your MB videos, as said, yours are lifesavers to us. Please keep up with the great job.

Hi Nick I have just bought a 2015 S350lwb and I wondered if it is possible to illuminate the steering wheel controls at night as I can’t see them. Help please. Thanks

[@npoleary]

Hey Richard, really sorry I can’t remember if the buttons actually do light up at night time on the steering wheel in that model, been a while since I’ve driven that one at night! Best thing to do is chat with your local Mercedes & they’ll be able to advise if it did have that functionality.

saving this for when i’ll never be able to afford a mercedes

[@mememachine5244]

Don't say that bro, I said that shit years ago. Im about to order an a35 top spec, just be frugal my dude.

[@npoleary]

Hi Michael, I agree with Meme Machine (haha great name!), I never thought I'd get the opportunity to experience all of Mercedes-Benz's cars! You never know what lies around the corner! One day you might!

[@RohitSharma-xm8oq]

Never Say never, I used to think same but for 10 years ago I bought my first Benz n I got delivered my 7th Mercedes last month. Which is Gle coupe 63s. And am already planing for my next car in 2022 ( Porsche Panamera turbo/Range rover vogue autobiography)So dream big n work hard

[@paulinecoupland889]

For most of my life l had crap cars until l could afford a new car l brought a new A Class Mercedes Benz 2019 but it’s like driving a computer you just talk it nice drive throughx

[@llamamanism]

Never say never, you just don’t know. I would never buy a brand new car out of a dealership unless I didn’t care about money. Choose carefully and wait for a good used model, the older the more affordable

[@deviate1966]

Swipe steering wheel touchpad up or down to change tracks. Lot easier

[@aldomary000]

Hi Nick,could I ask you a question about widow control

[@npoleary]

Window control? Of course 🤓

[@jonkarsypm6348]

Hey, and the tip to get the car it!? Jokes aside interesting video

[@paulsmith4502]

I tried the hold today - a revelation for me . No holding on the brake anymore !,,,

[@npoleary]

I know right! Number one hidden feature I think! 🤓

[@llamamanism]

Just bought e class coupe ‘14, hope it has this function

[@SDav21]

@@llamamanism It does.

[@npoleary]

Sure will!

Hi Nick, just watched this again as very useful. I have noticed when I play music or radio from my iPhone via bluetooth the Album images do not appear, just a generic image. When I use Applecar play they do appear. Is this a fault or can I change it so my music images on my phone appear on the screen? Hope this makes sense? Thanks Mark

[@npoleary]

Hey Mark, no this is one of the features of Apple CarPlay :) Apple CarPlay is your phone on the screen, and your phone is the one showing those images. Playing music over Bluetooth just sends the audio away from the phone so it won’t show album artwork.

[@markdaws5476]

@@npoleary Thanks again Nick. Thats a shame. With a number of other manufactures you get the image when using bluetooth.

Hello there!!! Could you please tell us a way to change the main MB logo with the AMG on the digital cluster screen?... I own a w213 2017....Thank you in advance ☺

[@npoleary]

Hi, Really sorry, I’ve heard of people doing this before but have no idea how to do this myself :( Just go careful if you do as I’d hate for something to go wrong and then your screen not work!

[@ST-kb6eq]

Hi Do you know if the Hold feature will work on 2018 C Class (Premium)?

[@npoleary]

Hi Imran, Yes it will! It works on all modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles and is so useful!

[@Kwippy]

The hold feature is the most useful thing, especially for city driving. Is it exclusive to MB?

[@npoleary]

Hi ThewaylCit, Yeah so useful in the city! Other manufacturers have their own versions of a “hold” feature but I think Mercedes & Porsche only have this via the brake pedal.

[@01halstead]

I have a 2016 Golf R DSG that has the hold feature via the brake pedal, works the same as this

[@penelopebutler3632]

Hi Nick! Random question…. I bought a second hand 2018 C Class Saloon and the Sat Nav needs updating. Please could you tell me what I have to do to update it. Thank you.

[@npoleary]

Hey Penelope Butler, Depends on your model and multimedia system to be honest. I have made a video about it covering as many systems as I can 🤓 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp7OnaiDdrFkgMk

[@fesotto-olegario9078]

I have a 2021 GLC300, I tried to do the Hold on the brakes but it won't. also on the key tricks, to open the Windows from the key unlock.

[@npoleary]

Hey Fe Sotto-Olegario, Sorry it’s hard to tell where everyone’s based in the KZbin comments! 😅 If you’re in the UK, I’m pretty you should have it! Never known a modern Mercedes not to have the hold feature.

[@albaniancrusader01]

Anyone knows on/off airbag switch, amg premium 220d, year 2017? By the way, this video was very helpful. Thank you.

[@npoleary]

Hey Christian, Thank you glad you liked the video! There isn’t an on/off airbag switch for the passenger seat on Mercedes vehicles. It automatically turns on and off depending on if someone is sat in the front seat or not 🤓

[@albaniancrusader01]

@@npoleary Thank you.

[@WiseEyes313]

I have an 2017 e class coupe w213. The first tip with the recirculating button doesn’t work on mine? I have the same cockpit and everything 🤔

[@npoleary]

Hey WiseEyes, hmmm sadly I know it does vary from model to model and country to country so isn’t available on everything! 🙁 If you get in touch with your local dealership, they’ll be able to confirm for sure if it can do it or not

[@richardjones7386]

Is the Mercedes Me button by the rear view mirror a concierge service or just a breakdown service?

[@npoleary]

Hey Richard, It does all sorts! I’ll cover it in a future video! 🤓 But in a nutshell If you need help with something in your Mercedes Need Roadside Assistance (breakdown, accidents etc) Concierge Services (looking up restaurants etc)
