My first time owning the Mercedes c300 4 matic, I am learning so much from you on how to operate all this fancy tech. Thank you! 🤩

[@jenvaher]

Thanks for educating me. Personally, I now use eco-mode to keep me from speeding! Last summer I bought my first Mercedes which I love and was having a blast in sport mode and within a month of when I bought it I got a speeding ticket!! So eco keeps me from speeding and when I wanna have fun on the highway I put on the sport mode. Or on a back road I’ll put on the sport mode. When I’m away from the city and the cops. Yes, I can definitely feel the G force when I put it into sport mode. And it feels so good. I was told to keep it in either comfort or eco-mode when it snows because it handles better that way. Thank you for all your education it really helps me understand my Mercedes more. I love my Mercedes!

[@Cyclerosis]

Thank you for the excellent video instruction. When I first got my car, I played around with the dynamic settings to see what the difference was between them. Eventually, I settled on the sport steering and suspension with the engine and transmission set to economy, and it's what I use the majority of the time. Well thought out engineering from Mercedes. Since I bought the GLA 250 4Matic used, I'm going to try and find your other video on how to reset the transmission. I watched it once and forgot to actually try it!

As usual, very informative videos. I have an E300 and have the Sport and Sport+ mode. Sport+ is a beast. When you want to get full speed in a short time, that's the way to go.

[@MBZMaster]

Sport+ is exhilarating, when you have an open highway with no traffic, and no bumps on the road! I love it. However, I wouldn't use it all the time, because it burns gasoline... like there is no tomorrow!

[@jafloresl]

@@MBZMaster exactly. I just use it when getting into the freeway and want to catch up with the hi-speed traffic. I have a Stop sign and the entry to the freeway is just about 300 ft away, so I use Sport+ from Stop to get into the exit. The RPMs go to 7k before shifting gears and acceleration is awesome.

[@drvaleriejuliebrousseau9607]

I have a E43AMG, the sports+ mode is a heck of a lot of fun, but for long drives, it is so sensitive to gas pressure that it becomes annoying: the moment you decrease the pressure, you get proposed forward... the comfort mode on the car is still fun on a long ride, the car is still 'prime' for acceleration, but for passing, impossible to resist the sport mode... So long rides I use eco or comfort... sport for passing and sport+ for pleasure... and yes, there is a lot of difference in gas consumption. Adjusting the personal driving modes and using user presets at entry is a great way to address any driver preference and ensure you get the best out of your car: you can make it the way you like, and that is great!

C43 AMG has a lot of customization that you can fine-tune. You can make this car fit you like a suit!

[@samshare2146]

As always, another great video! I do want to point out on thing, though. I know there are notches for your thumbs in the steering wheel and it is so tempting (and comfortable) to use them, but I advise against wrapping your thumbs around the wheel. This is something I learned way back when I started driving in the early days of airbags, with my first car...1986 MB 300E. If your thumbs are wrapped around the wheel, an inflating airbag can exert enough speed and force that it can literally break your thumbs as it pushes your arms apart. The chance is not great, but it is real enough. Remember that in an accident, a person has a natural tendency to grip the steering wheel harder which further focuses the force to the joint.

[@oscarbergner]

Havent tried individual yet, but i actually just bought it, still getting the feel of the carm i bought a 2017 M-B GLA 45 AMG and so far i love it, it was very interesting watching this, i havent gone into the car data that much yet, i would probably have found out myself eventually cause i like to try settings.

[@discerningmind]

Your video here also points out how very good it is of MB to offer different settings for differences in people. I fall completely opposite of you as with my arthritis and past injuries I always want the easiest steering possible, as well as comfort suspension. There are a lot of cars now a days that the steering becomes too stiff for me when the car reaches about 40 MPH. And I have to say no to buying a car like that. One of the best uses of comfort setting is expressway driving in cross winds. It's much easier to be able to make the slight adjustments needed, than the excess effort required by steering set in sport mode being too tight and heavy. I don't think the sport mode's stiff and heavy steering works well for anyone on extended expressway driving, hour after hour. Except for those who must have a more track like experience.

[@MBZMaster]

Well pointed!

[@discerningmind]

[@MBZMaster]

I did a little exaggeration to show the difference between the a quarter to three and ten to two. It has been always thought in U.S to hold the steering at 10 to 2. But I was pointing out that on the latest steerings - quater to 3 is the way to go.

[@yellowboxster06]

I am new to MB so I learned a lot from this video. (From my comments it may be apparent I have to spend more time in the owner’s manual.) My previous cars have been either Porsche or the Audi S-series. In general, I find it a little irritating when you can’t define your own default conditions for when the car is first started. Perhaps the individual mode settings may be close enough but it’s a pain in the ass to have to go through the equivalent of a preflight checklist to get to your preferred setting. I hate this auto shut off mode for example and the dealer tells me they can’t change the default to “Off”. I would be a lot happier with these amazing cars if I could give the service department my individual default conditions and let me make adjustments from there.

[@MBZMaster]

A lot of people voiced the same concern, but you have to realize it's not MB issue. It's rather a local law regulations issue. For example if you could force your car to automatically start from Sport mode with ECO shutdown feature turned off, MB would be required to provide different MPG figures at the time of new car sale. Obviously the car would be less efficient. That would force MB to either produce less cars allowed for sale, or they would need to reduce the power of their engines. The problem is solved by automatically engaging ECO and starting from Comfort mode. By the way, you can set ECO to off position in Individual mode. But personally I got used to that feature + it saves a lot gas.

[@MBZMaster]

Where is emergency latch? If your ML is equipped with the Power Rear Tailgate, your SmartKey has to have 3 buttons. If you push the 3rd button and hold for a few sec. it will open the tailgate, press again the tailgate will close. You can also open/close from the switch in the driver door by pulling/pushing the switch. You can also open the rear tailgate by simply pulling the rear door handle.

[@georgepay7667]

Great video! What mode when individual mode should I put my esp in when drive is in comfort and steering in sport? Thank you!

[@MBZMaster]

I wouldn't turn ESP (Stability Program) off, unless you're planning some serious racing, putting your car into the skid. Steering - I prefer always in Sport, as I showed in this video.

[@wolfganglemke6312]

ESP always works in the same ratio and brings your car back to stability. Comfort, sport and sport+ for ESP in Individual differ in how late ESP sets in. My Mercedes has more than 500 lbf ft and never swerved with ESP in Sport. That allows me in tight corners to let one wheel slip (mostly the rear inside wheel) without getting the torque reduced immediately.

[@johncollins688]

Very clearly presented. Thank you. Question: Do the dynamic select modes change the torque distribution between front and back axles?

[@MBZMaster]

While "Dynamic Select" doesn't control the 4Matic's wheels torque distribution directly, it affects it rather indirectly. It does affect the suspension, steering, braking and acceleration. All of which have a definite effect on the 4 Matic systems. It's especially apparent in the vehicles equipped with the "Off-road engineering" package.

[@johncollins688]

@@MBZMaster Thank you for the reply. I have wondered why driver's are not able to directly select some options like 100% FWD, 100% RWD, 50:50 split, and system controlled torque distribution.

[@MBZMaster]

I think for the same reason people abandoned a manual stick-shift. 4Matic is one of those smart new technologies, which can react to the road conditions faster than any human can. It uses mostly the rear wheels, but will transfer torque to the front wheels if not enough traction. This system can also transfer the torque side to side, and it's one of the few systems, which can transfer 100% of torque only to the 1 wheel, in case 3 others lost traction. If your has "Off-road Engineering package," you can use "Dynamic Select" in "Offroad+" mode. It can control traction by means of specific, wheel-selective braking intervention, -which simulates the effect of an active locking differential.

[@MBZMaster]

Probably because the diagram is the same for both Wagon and Sedan. Depending on the year of your model, the AUX battery should be either in the trunk area, or if it's a smaller one - it should be in the upper left side of driver dashboard, behind the fuse box. Some models, like S-Class actually have 2 AUX batteries. Another common place, like in the C-Class is under the passenger footwell.

No, you can't. Not because of Mercedes, but because of EPA. If it was possible - the MPG ratings of these cars would be much different, and not in line with EPA guidelines... forcing manufacture to make smaller and weaker (but less fuel-thirsty) engines. Defaulting to Comfort (C) mode every time you start your car - is a little trick to offer the needed performance... while maintaining an acceptable MPG. Plus, if you keep Sport all the time (even when stuck in traffic), you will waste a lot of gas unnecessarily.

Any car is reliable, as long as you take care of it. Older pre-2014 GLS's used to have 1 common problem - Airmatic suspension. But MB found a way to address that issue and I don't hear about that problem anymore. If you are looking to buy a 5 year and older GLS, firstly - make sure to check the condition of the air suspension.

[@marilynmiller9741]

Replaced the battery for two reasons: it wouldn't start the day before and had to be jumped and the next day it was not shifting gears. So now still having gear shift problems, won't drive more than two miles an hour and seems transmission is locked up. So did the reset with the key and gas pedal. This will solve problem for a day but then have to do the reset again. Any suggestions? The mechanic (not a MB mechanic) did do a computer reset which helped for a day. I am going to order a dip stick to check trans fluid. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much!

[@MBZMaster]

If the transmission isn't shifting, can be a few different problems. One is software, the second is transmission may need to be serviced. For that, I would recommend visiting the MB Service department (or independent shop specializing in MB), so they can do diagnostics. Sometimes the software update can fix a lot of problems. But the transmission itself may need a service too.

Hi, how do you leave the dynamic select in individual mode? When I stop and start the car, it defaults to Comfort mode

[@MBZMaster]

You can't, because new Mercedes cars show MPG numbers based on Comfort mode. If they shown MPG based on Sport, they would be forced to produce less cars, or make smaller engines. So legally, you have to consent to wasting more gas, by pushing the button. So, legally, it can't stay in any other mode than "C." But you can change it manually if you want to.

No, I think most Mercedes models started getting the Dynamic Select feature from 2015 models and up.

[@marnucup4549]

I drive a GLC 300 So it’s advisable to drive individual Steering- sport Drive - comfort?

That's what I recommend. But try to play with different settings and find the one that fits your driving style.

Sounds like both batteries of that car are going down. Test and charge batteries, replace if needed.

[@MBZMaster]

I like SPORT, but for the every day drive, when I'm stuck in traffic, I use INDIVIDUAL mode, as I've shown in this video how to setup.

[@andreagiles8986]

Replace transmission mount . While driving car rough sound from transmission like it’s shifting. Now car only goes 20 miles per hour and rpm 30. Hv pull over several times. To reset , turn key on then putting foot on gas for few seconds , turn switch off, release foot frm gas pedal , wait second and started and it goes for about 5-7 miles I have pull over and reset again. Please help.

[@MBZMaster]

First, check transmission fluid level. But it sounds like your transmission doesn't shift out of 1st gear. You need to show your car to your local transmission shop to do some diagnostics.

I have 2021 A-Class video review here: bit.ly/MBZM-A . It will give you an idea about GLA-Class as well - since GLA is built on A-Class platform, but has a little better performance and more space.

Steering are still speed-sensitive, but even then - not firm enough. You can tighten it more to your likings.

HEY FRIEND DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING FOR US WHO DRIVE THE W220

[@alexbaker7871]

Hello from Noosa, Queensland Australia, thanks your videos are fabulous, easily understood and you get to the point, unlike our American friends who love to talk lots 💕 You are also entertaining ❤️ I have just bought my second, used Mercedes’. She is 9 years old and in amazing condition. Hardly any obvious wear and tear, big kilometres, but she’s diesel so that’s ok with me. Plus I know the previous owner who loved and looked after her. The only real issue is that e manuals are no longer available for my 2012 car. I have a hard copy, which is not adequate as it keeps referring me to the e version! My E 250 CDI black coupe is everything a granny could wish for, for her last car. One quick question relates to disabling ‘keyless Go’ with 2 clicks to preserve the cars battery. The double click on my key still gives me keyless access, so am I to assume it doesn’t turn off the car battery? And if so what precautions can I take to ensure I’m not draining the cars battery? I also noted the small battery inside the key went flat sooner than I expected. Any feedback would be gratefully accepted! Cheers Alex Baker

[@MBZMaster]

You have to press the LOCK button twice very quickly to disable the Keyless Go. It doesn't disable the key, only Keyless Go. Or keep your key 10-15 feet away from your car, so they don't bother each other.

Excellent knowledge Please tell me: Is possible to adjust steering on 2009 GL320 for less response means more harder? Is even unsafe to drive very fast on curves or sleeper pavements BMW can do much better with the brain. Looks Germans not get on the level to understand Luxury versus danger?

[@MBZMaster]

2009 model didn't have the "Dynamic Select" function, so you can't adjust it yourself. However, most mechanics will be able to inspect your car and recommend some ways to tighten your steering.

Coding reduces current? What do you mean? You can turn off the DRL in the settings on the steering wheel.

Comfort to save gas Sport to not save gas?? But great while on a hwy?

[@monticella]

Good stuff, but to be honest I just drive my Sl AMG and don't fool with the buttons too much. I have never explored half of whats there. There's a cd magazine under a cover behind the driver...never opened it. Never used the navigation. I put the hard top down row bar up and cruise. No drag racing despite ~600 hp. My car is always in sport now by virtue of a tune re -flash . Smaller (76mm) SC pullyey. It is a rocket ship. Low 3's when my SC clutch surface is scuffed up. There is a Porsche dealership close to me. I highway raced a Cayenne, 911 and a boxster. They dont bother anymore. Complaints my car is stage III and unfare competition.

[@MBZMaster]

Nice! What year is your SL?

[@monticella]

@@MBZMaster 2007 sl55 m113k with 733.26 tranny. Here's one for you; get in the cockpit close the door. Shut off all consumers. Lights, radio, fan everything. Key goes to number two accessory position. step the gas pedal all the way to the floor and leave it there for two minutes. Release. wait another two minutes and open door. The next time you get in and start/drive the shift points (module) learns and accepts a more aggressive shift point relative to your driving. Cleans up sloppy shifting instantly!

If you use "Drive" in Comfort, then match it with "ESP" - in Comfort. But definitely keep the Steering in "Sport". That will make a big difference in the handling of your car!

While I was driving the transmission went fro D6 to M1 then my car lost power WTH!!!!!Help!!!

[@MBZMaster]

So you probably hit the "shift paddle" on the back of the steering wheel, and your transmission went from an automatic to manual. Or maybe you hit "M" button on the middle dash. D6 means - 6th gear Automatic shifting. M1 - means 1st gear manual shifting. If you hit paddle with "+" sign and hold, or hit M button again - it will switch back to automatic.

I have Individual mode configured to work as a Manual, I use the paddles to shift gears. I have kind of similar as Sport but with Manual.

[@CalvinK300]

Yes and I have 2 questions. 1. Should the Dynamic Select be used only when car is stationary or is it alright while cruising? 2. The ‘ECO’ mode will disengage the gear when cruising and foot is off the gas pedal. Is this bad for the gears?

[@MBZMaster]

@@CalvinK300 1. Yes, you can switch Dynamic Select mode while driving. You don't need to stop the car. 2. You are probably referring to the MB Gliding feature. It can't be bad for gears, because they are disengaged. Similar to older manual Neutral gear. I'm going to make a video specifically about the Gliding feature and how to use it, so stay tuned!
