12 Tip for new Mercedes owners

[@Habsforthewin]

Hello. Just wanted to thank you for your excellent channel and videos. I’m a first time Mercedes owner of a 2022 E53 AMG Sedan. Had 3500 miles on it from the dealer. Your explanations and attention to detail have made me very comfortably with my new AMG and have helped immensely. Cheers!

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey! Thank you so much for the nice comment and a big congratulations on your E53, such a great car! I’m pleased to hear my videos have been helpful.

I just picked up my 2019 Mercedes-Benz S560 (new) from the dealer and also picked up a new 2023 Mercedes CLA 200 for my sons first car. I only ever owned Porsche's and Audis since i've had my children so switching to a new brand was a big step. I'm really loving my S560 and my son enjoys his CLA, I wanted to thank you for your helpful videos. Kudos!

Really, new? What a bragging twat.

[@jonnycsuperplumb765]

Fantastic video..really easy to understand 👍🏻 Ive an A45s on order..well handy tips. Cheers

[@kosmostragedy3135]

me too man, cant wait

[@Dash1K_Yt]

Do you think the cla45 is good in snow, im just afraid that its too low and might get too damaged

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, I've driven it in the snow and it handled great. I did not take it through deep snow though mostly squashed down and salted roads. It's not super low so I think it would be ok but I would advise against driving it through deep snow If you can.

Great vid. I think you left out a very useful (IMO) feature, which is that you can program the button of the 'wheel' on the RHS of the steering wheel. I programmed mine so the car goes into Sports + mode (from my usual Comfort driving mode) at the touch of a button. Useful when approaching some traffic lights that might turn amber and you need the extra oomph to avoid the red light - without having to worry about having to position your thumb and forefinger exactly right or how many clicks to turn it. Also, WRT Apple CarPlay, I've tried various 3rd party USB-C to Lightning cables and adapters and surprisingly, many don't seem to work. Nick O'Leary alluded to this in one of his videos. I'm looking forward to the release of the iPhone 15 with USB-C port. My previous USB-C Android phone did not have this problem.

Tip for car play, if you have an MBUX Merc you can buy it from the store, if it doesn’t let you, you need to take it to the dealer to upgrade the FUP software and then it will let you buy it (Mainly for older model cars)

Yes but we scrape bc we cant wait for 3-5mins

😊 Thanks for this video especially the defrosting windscreen segment. Btw which wax / ceramic coating/ mercedes starguard would you recommend as the internet is filled with literally 100s of products ALL claiming to be the best ..... KR Steve

[@ABAUTOAMG]

You are welcome Steve. The defrost is so handy in the winter months! Because my car has matte paint I can’t use it but if you have a gloss finish this is the best still I think Meguiars hybrid ceramic spray wax.

[@SP-quark]

Thanks for the Tips AB, Been sharing your videos to friends of mine and yeah the Maguire's hybrid has been also highly recommended. Any recommendations for car shampoo or pre cleaning products? Many thanks in advance 😊 Steve

Hey ABAUTO, Did your car come with Distronic? You mentioned cruise control in your video but this particular car doesn't have adaptive cruise control?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, my current car here does not have the adaptive cruise control. I’m not really a fan of self driving features myself so chose not to spec it but I hear it does work well.

[@SlasherNL]

@@ABAUTOAMG I see, good to know it does work well on Mercedes. I heard it isn't very good on Porches where it can sometimes automatically brake when a car overtakes you on a different lane. Also on the bright side; you have a 3D front grille emblem. Which looks better than a flat mercedes emblem when distronic is chosen. If you ever choose to mod your front grille emblem to a gloss black one you can do that. Distronic front grille emblem can't be modded since there are sensor tech in it.. Just some information I've found out when I tried to look for a dream car.. hopefully you found it useful.. Thanks for your reply! Awesome channel I watched many of your videos :D

Hi, could you please put a link for the electric pump? Thanks

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, No problem! Here’s the one I use featured in the video. amzn.to/44furqm

[@whitefederico]

Is this a stock color ? If so what’s the name ? Thanks and great video !

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, yep it’s a stock factory paint. I have a video picking the car up from new. It looked amazing under the showroom lights. It’s called Designo Magno Mountain grey. It’s a satin finish.

[@tonyzchan]

where is the race mode ?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

This was more for the basics, I’m working on a video with a more detailed look at all the drive modes in the CLA45s :)

[@Bearhans]

I'm on the list to order a 2024 45s, but keep going back and forth between white and magno grey. Are you still happy with the magno grey or do you have any complaints after a year or so?

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Hey, I’m going to be 100% honest. I absolutely love the Magno grey and have no regrets. It just looks and feels so much more special in this paint and it suits the car so well. Everyone comments on the paint and it always looks good even when dirty. The white also looks great but the Magno grey is just so much more special in my opinion :)

[@jin3467kazama]

Thank you for sharing bro. I just got my AMG 2 months ago. All your videos are very helpful. Keep up the good job 👍😽💎🙌

[@ABAUTOAMG]

Thanks Jin! Congratulations on your new AMG 🎉 Which model did you go for?

[@jin3467kazama]

@@ABAUTOAMG exactly like yours bro.

[@ABAUTOAMG]

@@jin3467kazama Ah nice! Such an amazing car!

[@kinda_ineffable4275]

Is the a45 the same width as the regular CLA?

[@nathanstrange168]

Hold on did you just include defrost as a “Mercedes feature” 🤣 are there any cars that don’t have defrost?….

[@ABAUTOAMG]

I don’t consider these to be Mercedes exclusive features. That’s why number 1 is the reverse camera ;) Just things that I think work well in modern Mercedes for new owners to be aware of :)
