That was great Nick ! Very helpful indeed do enjoy your channel!! It a shame MB Dartford do not offer this when you buy a used car from them. I was just given the keys as the paper work was done. When I spent 35k on a GLC, it was missing the car Mats as well. I got them 3 weeks later still with mud on them, as the sale chap ring the door bell and drop them on the floor and worked away ! well I had the car 2 years now Nick and the paint on the bumper fading as it had a smart repair on it buy it 1st owner. So MB wish me to pay 3k for a bump to be resprayed ! Very different service with your dealership, clearly, so next year I will be coming you your dealership and not Dartford !

Exceptional overview. BTW…Mercedes USA has a team going around the country introducing the EQ cars. I had a test drive yesterday….nice! I also informed some of those Mercedes representatives that there is a GREAT KZbin channel hosted by Nick O’Leary in the UK…and that they all need to subscribe and pass the word how informative your material is for Mercedes owners.

[@npoleary]

Wow thanks Wayne! An EQ team? That sounds cool!

[@NeedtoSpeak]

Yes, maybe 15 cars with a national team of 30 people who set up in large shopping malls. Invitations are by email with time slots to choose from. Once signed in, you get a “goodie” bag, and off you go driving one of the cars with a rep. Test drive is @ 20 minutes. They even have a trailer outfitted with videos, etc. The team was first on the west coast, and will be touring the east coast until March. The bad news….EQ won’t be available in quantity for about 1 year….and some options not available due to computer chip shortage.

More contact was not allowed with a view to COVID. 🤷🏽‍♂️ - Therefore, your video will be very helpful to many ... like all of your videos. 😃👍🏼 - BTW, my Adblue never lasts until the next inspection despite the large Adblue tank. But that is due to the higher Adblue consumption at speeds over 200 km / h. 😅 - Have a nice weekend and greetings, Sven

Hey Brian, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! This can be for a number of reasons such as: Starter Battery not sufficiently charged Seatbelt not clipped in Ambient Temperature (too cold outside like icy conditions) A/C is currently de-misting the interior Or even the car needs to go on a run to bring engine temperature up to sufficient levels If after a nice long drive and it’s still not working, if you get in touch with your local Mercedes, they can check it out for you and get to the bottom of it 🤓

Hi excellent videos really helpful I have just purchased a 2019 c class just wondering if the doors should automatically unlock and lock when I walk up to or away from the car as this doesn’t happen at the moment I have to use the lock or unlock buttons on the fob. The car will start with the fob in my pocket and I push the start button it’s just the doors don’t open/close thanks Ian

[@npoleary]

Hey Ian thank you! Glad you’re enjoying the videos! No it won’t automatically lock, you’ll need to either lock it from the key, or if you have KEYLESS-GO (found on one of the Premium packages) touch the lock button on the handle.

Great Nick but one thing I'm having trouble with and can't find it in video is REMOVAL OF PARCEL SHELF

[@npoleary]

Hi Michael, In CLA Shooting Brakes, the boot cover is just held in either side. If you put your hand on either side of the grab points, you can slide the left hand side to the right or the right hand side to the left.

[@keithb4740]

Hi Nick, having just watched your very impressive, extremely well structured and delivered Driving Assistance package video, I wanted to pick your brains about something, as you do seem to know Mercedes vehicles inside out. The UK spec. 2013-2020 S Class was available with ABC Magic Body Control and to my understanding, was until the 2018ish facelift, standard on the S63 and S65 variants and optional on other petrol V8 engined models such as the S500. After the facelift it looks as if it was then only fitted as standard to the S65 but not available otherwise. On the new model it doesn't seem to be an option again for any model and only fitted as standard to the flagship Maybach edition. Is this correct? Also how has the suspension developed on the new model to negate the need for Magic Body Contol to be an option for the whole S Class range excluding the Maybach derivative. Thank you for any info and insight you can provide.

[@npoleary]

Hey Keith thank you! And glad you like the videos! Sadly I wouldn’t know to be honest, specs across manufacturers can vary for many reasons due to market availability or pricing but I’m sure there are other factors as well. Yes you’re right Magic Body Control was quite clever but honestly, you’ll just have to try it out on the new ones. All S-Class’s do feature an almost “floaty” feel which I have never felt replicated in another car. They’re still in a league of their own in terms of all out luxury and may not even be needed. Have you driven the new one? 🤓

[@keithb4740]

@@npoleary Hi Nick, Thank you for your very prompt reply, no I haven't driven either actually but have reached that age where an indulgent purchase is pulling at my heart strings and 'smogging' my rational brain function! 🙂 I've been reading up a bit on various cars and 'the other worldly' ride comments on the S class' MBC piqued my interest and I wondered how good it actually was. However, it only seems to be available on later models that have V12 power units, which I wouldn't really want. I also wondered how the new model without this feature compares, although, probably due to age, I don't like the new huge 'iPad' dash/console design above the previous iteration, infact decidedly less. Thanks again for your reply and info, I'll just have to try them myself but maybe after an iPace, which would probaly be the more sensible option. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4uTlp-FibZ1mKs

[@jamesec1949]

Hello Nick, I have a question you may be able to answer regarding Lane Departure Warning in the Distronic Plus Driver Assistance Package. I live in the countryside and my 2017 SL450 handles curves like an automated steered car for the 15-20 seconds I’m allowed to take my hands off the wheel. It’s amazing how it stays between the lines. On the other hand, my 2016 S550 with the same package wanders all over the place and renders the lane assist almost useless. Yes, I do get a warning from my steering wheel and the brakes do apply when I cross the line before going into the woods but the car does not correct and get back on the road. I have to manually turn the wheel. As far as crossing a double line between lanes, my car will just head into oncoming traffic. My MB dealer checked everything and found nothing wrong. They’re saying that’s the way the 2016 is. So if I black out I can forget about the car saving my life or that of anybody that I hit. What do you think? Was there a change in 2017? Thanks Nick. Whether you can help or not, still watch your terrific videos. Jim, 🇺🇸

[@npoleary]

Hey Jim, Thank you! Glad you're loving the videos! Sadly Driving Assistance Packages in Mercedes are purely just "Assistance" systems. In the UK, although the car will alert you if your hands are off of the wheel after a period of time, whoever is sat in the driving seat should "officially" have their hands on the wheel at all times. Of course this might be different in the US as I'm sure come cars might have different specs and regulations etc. The S-Class did have a facelift in 2019 in the UK so this system may have been upgraded slightly since then.

Ah I’ve tried this before 🤭 Don’t worry Mercedes cars have a safety feature built-in just in case you did this by accident. So if you did this by accident, it would just knock the car into Neutral. The reverse gear will only activate if you’re at speeds of around less than 5 mph and you need to have your foot on the brake to change into reverse anyway 🤓

Hey Blackfield, no sadly not if the key button is pressed for more than a second, it will open the boot. I have seen cases / covers you can put the key in which may help.

Morning Nick, I was wondering how do I go about getting FUP3 update on my Aclass (177). Can it be done over the air update? Thank you

[@npoleary]

Hey Nimal, best thing to do is speak with your local dealership and they can advise the best way, I believe it’s only done in person via a Mercedes workshop 🤓

Hey Dennis, absolutely! I will be covering it but only when I can get my hands on one and also when more models get it. There should be two models getting it next year! 🤓

Nick, my dashcam is set up with a shortcut into favourites but doesn’t appear until about 800 metres driven. Mercedes dealership tell me this is “normal” - do you agree? I got the impression that you had immediate access once the engine was on. The Dashcam app isn’t stored in apps, which I thought it would be, and takes time to appear, at which point I can use the favourites shortcut. Can’t believe that this delay is “normal”. Please advise, thanks, Jon

[@npoleary]

Hey Jon, I noticed that when producing the video. It does take a little while for it to connect to the internet to confirm you have actually purchased it.

[@fredsakaki1072]

Hello Nick: I have a new S580 2021, just after delivering the car to me, the rear shade button on MBUX stop working, and the dealer tells me it is the same on their 2022 model. It was working for a day, but after the update, it stopped working, Any thoughts or suggestions, greatly appreciated.

[@npoleary]

Hi Fred! Ooo very nice! No really sorry I haven’t sat in an S-Class since my last review video and I haven’t heard of any problems with the rear blind. I’m sure if you get in touch with your local Mercedes they should be able to take a look and get it sorted👍🏼

[@Zhexman]

How do I lock the doors on my 2022 gle with the engine running. I need to do this to keep my dog cool . The remote start with the app isn't working Can it be done another way? Manually ? Tks for the reply DGB

[@npoleary]

Sadly there’s no way to do this with the key electronically as the key’s buttons are deactivated when the ignition is on. Also if you had locked the doors and then open the driver’s door, it’ll unlock the rest of them.

[@Zhexman]

@@npoleary Thanks for the quick reply When they get the remote starting back working I should be ok. Too bad there isn't an alternative method. Tks, DGB

Hi, do you know what the deal is with waiting times. I ordered a GLA in June 2021 and still waiting. They have confirmed it has been built but is in a holding area at Zeebrugge waiting for parts ?

Hey Stewart, really sorry I wouldn’t know. Your local Mercedes / the person you ordered from will be able to let you know and keep you updated with lead times etc.

just to let you know nick mercedes benz do not top up your ad blue at any service although they say they do have found them out at my last 3 services once confronted they give you a ad blue container and say do it yourself they say it is not part of any service (but they dont tell you that until you find them out )

Oh that’s strange, official Mercedes dealerships should offer to do it for you. I had all of this confirmed and fact checked with my local dealership so they definitely offer it.

Hi nick ...pls quick question is got c class coupe 2019 ..anytime i check on mercedes me app it always showing battery partially charge ....I don't no y .thanks

[@npoleary]

Hey Polo, it can say this from time to time unless you go on a long journey (depends on the journeys you’re doing). A longer journey will get that battery topped up. You won’t need to take any action unless it says critical, at which point you’ll have an alert on your email anyway. Hope that helps!

[@llyh8023]

Hey Nick, I'm from Singapore and my family owns a 2021 facelift E class. We have some issues with our "Hey Mercedes" voice command though - it is nowhere as intelligent and helpful as seen in various videos and "Hey Mercedes" tutorials, and it often gets even the simplest commands like "turn off air conditioning" wrong. Is there any way to improve the detection accuracy? Are we saying the commands wrongly? It doesnt have anything to do with the voice command struggling with Asian accents, does it?

[@npoleary]

Hey Iychvy, ooo very nice! 🤓 Hmmm, the Hey Mercedes voice assistant does vary massively in the world from people’s comments on KZbin. In the UK you have to link your car to your Mercedes me account and switch the online part of the voice assistant online. Otherwise it won’t work as well. Not sure if this is the same elsewhere though! Sadly there is no way to “train” it as it learns overtime. Have you spoken with your local Mercedes?

[@llyh8023]

@@npoleary hey nick, strange but i can't pair the Mercedes Me App to the car. I have the app installed and the car is registered but when I go to the "Apps" menu, there isn't a QR code for me to scan and pair my car to the App. I think I might have recalled the sales person telling my family that our car doesnt come with Mercedes Me. Not too sure what exactly is the reason for that though? Can't be because it is an E200? Or does it have anything to do with the reduced supply in semi-conductors that happened recently? Either way, it is a bummer because it seems like the "Hey Mercedes" voice assistant is supposed to be helpful and clever (as seen in yours and many other videos) whereas the one in my car is somewhat of a dim-wit, especially when compared to our other car which is a BMW G20 3 series; the Bimmer's voice command is really accurate and gets it right every time and we have it paired to the BMW app without any issues.

[@npoleary]

Hey lychvy, really sorry I wouldn’t know how it works in other countries as Mercedes me isn’t available everywhere. The best people to answer that would be your local dealership I’m sure as they’ll know what works where you’re based. Sorry, wish I could advise further!

[@llyh8023]

@@npoleary hey nick, there's Mercedes Me in Singapore! It's just strange that my family's E class doesn't have the integration for the app. The only way is to buy the adapter but I doubt we would go through that trouble just because the voice command isn't good haha! Thanks for the help, nonetheless!

Ah it honestly depends where you live 🤓 As it varies from country to country, if you’re in the UK it’s best to speak with your local Mercedes who will give you a hand. I’ve covered a video on it here which shows what it can do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJzZkpmhjZ6tldk

Thank God in India, every xar manufacturer has to put in a spare wheel by law. Not having a spare is so stupid.

[@GeorgeNikolaidis]

Dear Nick, thank you for all your efforts and the perfect videos you prepare. As I finally got yesterday my GLB 250 after 11 months of waiting I started exploring my car and I have few questions that even the dealer couldn't answer. My first question is this option: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bPp5qlqN2XnNk Have you ever seen it before in an GLB? Could be possible this option to be only in the USA available and not Europe? Could you please check in UK? The other missing option is this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJXLqZaDotqXlck This video is in a GLA. In my car, with all possible assistance packaged installed the active lane-change, is not working or not included. Could you please also check in UK? or if you are aware if this option is not more included? Thank you once again for all the great videos and information shared with us.

[@npoleary]

Hi George, thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos! Yes that’s right spec varies massively round the world due to local laws and regulations. So for example things like remote start are not available here in the UK and the same goes for Active Lane Change Assist. The latter was removed under UN-R 79 regulations which require hands on / hands off sensors to use this. Sadly this doesn’t exist in cars today so Mercedes are not able to implement that technology with those laws in place.

Sorry explanation about why you don’t have a spare complete propaganda, shame really because your videos are normally very good and informative

[@richards6854]

@@npoleary your videos are very good helpful and informative but the part about the spare wheel or lack of was I feel Mercedes spin as with all manufacturers that don’t supply a spare wheel these days this is simply a money saving exercise for them, as I said to a sales man who was dealing with my purchase of a back in the day a mk3 mondeo as he was explaining the benefits of a space saver spare wheel i.e. more boot space because less space was needed for the spare wheel. I told him in no uncertain terms he was talking #£@t as if I got a puncture what was I meant to do with the full size 18inch wheel that clearly would not fit into the spare wheel recess after I had changed wheels. Sorry if you thought I was being a bit harsh on your video but that was the only part on your video that I thought was a bit of trying to polish a turd, as I say your videos are in general very good and informative. thank you for making them as they are also educational.

[@npoleary]

Fair enough! Sadly most car manufacturers these days don’t supply a spare wheel. They offer breakdown service for someone to attend. Of course if one is mechanically minded or knows how to change a tyre if they had one, then they would probably prefer that. As if you know what you’re doing, you’ll be back on the road much quicker! I’m not sure why most manufacturers don’t supply them now, I know this as I cover a variety of brands on my channel I haven’t seen one for a long time.

[@mq46312]

Just don't buy one in the first place.
