Hi Nick - this is Roger, you handed over my new A250e PP to me at Poole on Thursday, great video as usual, very informative and far quicker to take on board the data than churning through the Owner’s manual.

Hey Simpson Jack, I think you can do something with your current position on the main display. I haven’t been in one since I last reviewed it on my channel but if you hold your finger on the current location icon in the middle of the screen on the map, I think it brings up an option for compass.

I`d llike to ask you Nick please. If I use regen-breaking does it wear my break pads quicker? How often do I need to replace those pads and what would be their cost? I appreciate your answers !!!

[@npoleary]

No it’ll make them wear them out slower 🤓 Brake Regen brakes using the electric motor but in reverse 🤓 So the pads and discs don’t touch unless you brake hard (more than what brake recuperation can do) or at very low speeds. I heard once one an EV owner had done a year’s worth of motoring and only worn his brakes by 5%. They should last even longer than petrol or diesel cars as they’d not used much 🤓

[@Luisbone]

@npoleary wow that's amazing. I was not expecting that haha. What about the battery? Can you give me a rough estimation about the longevity of that? Also the battery's cost of change if you can...I apologise for the tons of questions but you have the knowledge and you are responding so quick that is almost unreal haha. I hope my questions helps other hybrid MB users too.

[@npoleary]

@Luisbone well EV batteries are rated to last as long as engine, but they often have warranties for up to 6, 8 and even 10 years. It depends on the car and manufacturer. Hybrids are usually 6 years from new though. Haha no worries! Sadly I wouldn’t know cost for batteries, I don’t work for a dealer or Mercedes anymore. I went full time on KZbin last year so you might have to chat to a dealer for costs of a battery.

[@Luisbone]

@npoleary Thank you sooo much for your answers Nick. I thought it's a good investment to buy a hybrid but you just made it a better one with this info, haha.

[@npoleary]

No sadly not Android Auto is for the centre screen in any car. Same for CarPlay too. However Apple did announce that they’re working with selected manufacturers to offer support to Instrument clusters in the future. This has been radio silent from Apple though for a couple of years so still trying to find more out. I would highly doubt this would work on any car right now, this sort of thing would be for models to come in the future. So something to look forward to for cars in years to come.

[@MartyW74]

Hi Nick, loving your videos, i just bouthg a 21 A250e Premium plus and your videos have helped to work out how ti use it. Would you be able to do a cvideo on how to best use the hurbrid tech to get close to the silly M{G figures that Mercedes quote for this car.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ooo nice! Well the issue is with plug-in hybrids is that you may potentially be looking at the wrong stats and the WLTP measurements you will have seen don’t help. They’re not really built for hybrids, I’ll explain so bear with, I wrote this out to others too. When it comes to MPG readings, hybrids should also be using mpkWh. It basically depends on the journey you do. So for example, if you drove 2 miles up the road, went into the shops then drove back and the engine didn’t switch on, you will have achieved 999+ miles per gallon, because you haven’t used any gallons of fuel, just electric. Another example, same trip but if you accelerated hard at the lights just once, then drove normally for the rest of it, then your MPG might be around 300-400 MPG because it averaged out on electric for most of it. And the final example, same trip again but this time you drove there on electric and then drove back with the engine on “Battery Level” (this mode uses the engine) then your MPG might be around the 100-200 MPG mark. Miles per gallon is very tricky to work out on hybrids because there is another source of power pushing you around which throws off stats. MPG is used to measure how much fuel we use, where as electric is measured in MPkWh (miles per kWh) This is why that figure seems high on short journeys but less on longer journeys. Of course the more you run on electric and plug it in, the better your MPG will be but with a plug-in hybrid you don’t have to complete a journey.

[@MartyW74]

@@npoleary thanks Nick, that makes sense, and had a feeling it would be something like that, most of my journeys are local short ones so can use electric for them, and i have the backup of the petrol for long journeys.

Depends on your model of Mercedes and the year but in most cases just hold the back button on the side closest the driver’s door 🤓

[@Savage_Alex121]

When I press down the home button or the black button next to it on the wheel and then select something it just puts the radio on the little screen next to the wheel, what on the wheel do I press for it to appear in between the 2 dials behind the wheel? I’m trying to help my mom figure it out, it’s a 2020 c300 if that matters.

[@npoleary]

It purely depends on the multimedia system in the car but I’m fairly certain on that year of car, you can put content in the middle of the screen (in between the dials, but you can’t change both dials individually) So on the steering wheel closest the driver’s door: HOME Swipe left / Right and select RADIO Press in to enter

My Mercedes doesn’t show a number of miles left in the tank, I know on my old one it was something I had to do on the menu on the right side of the wheel but I can’t remember where it was. Can you help please

Hi. I got my A class sedan yesterday. I can’t find how to change dials in the display. It shows nothing when i slide right or left on the touch pad on steering wheel. Can you please help?

It depends on the year of A-Class, if it’s a new one you’ll need my newer video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hV7NiWutebplnLMsi=ObFRpD2RCqSSZ51- Less customisation on the dials left and right but a more simplified interface. Previous A-Class has touchpad in the middle, new one does not have a touchpad.

Hi Nick Please let me know about the Navi in the center cluster. My MB dealership here insists that my MB C Class doesn’t show the maps in the center cluster if I buy the sd card. But what you believe?

[@npoleary]

No C-Class won’t appear in the middle unless it’s the latest model that’s come out with in built Nav as standard. If you’re need to buy an SD card, then it’ll only appear with basic info or if it’s a digital instrument cluster, on the right hand dial too.

[@npoleary]

No sorry :( I wish I did! But sadly you won’t be able to do it as that model can’t put the Navi on the screen in the middle. As I mentioned if it’s one with a digital instrument cluster, then you’ll be able to put the Navi map on the right dial but not in the middle.

Hi Nick,nice video as always My question is that have an A class 250e (2023 model) with a 7 inch driver’s screen.When I push the Home button on the steering wheel the screen shows Assyst Plus menu and not the style selector is there a method to change the style of the screen?

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! So if you have a touchpad, in the middle of the car then it’ll be before facelift. If you do not have a touchpad then it’ll be after facelift. With the Touchpad, you should have that menu behind the steering wheel but if you don’t you’ll be able to change it on the centre screen. Home, Settings and then System and I seem to recall it was the first one. If you do not have a touchpad, there are pre set themes but you can’t change the colours, so you can only change the centre dial.

It can be distracting from attentive safe driving too. It happens to my wife as well, so we can’t be the only ones fighting the problem.

Hi Nick, I’ve found all your videos of great help. But, as someone who owns a new GLA with the 7inch smaller screen, I’ve hit a few problems. Recently, after using the on-board computer to check the oil level via the “Service” tab, I had real problems returning the screen to its previous mode without the service or other menu showing in the centre. Returning to my 'normal' speedo view seemed impossible. Studying the handbook didn’t resolve the problem for me. Any chance that you could make a similar menu for the non-premium versions, without the larger, super-size screens please? Ken
