This guy is so hilarious and simple his explanations are so easy to grasp.

[@dabiwonchana]

It’s so easy to learn from this man, like his way of explaining things

[@traceym1778]

I have owned my first ever Mercedes for a year and a half now and knew about 4 of the 'don'ts, but you answered 3 things I couldn't figure out (THANK YOU!) and the rest was news to me! Awesome...!

[@KevinWorrell]

The hook on the handle is in case you need to tie the hatch down when you have a long item in the vehicle inhibiting the closure of the doorway. It's why it's described as "temporary tie down" in the owners manual.

[@OfficialBigYayo]

It's a benz...not meant for heavy duty like ropes😂😂😂

[@lastochka100]

Exactly my thoughts. We use it when we put bikes in the trunk, and trunk won’t close

[@rontruocchio5744]

while accessing your spare you will notice a long ribbon and hook and guess where you stick that hook to keep the floor hatch open while grabbing your spare and tools? you got it.

[@discerningmind]

Thank you. I didn't know that. I thought its only purpose was to hold-up the lid in the trunk floor. I confess, after we bought our car I left the Owner's Manual out in plain sight, and for the past three years it's been collecting dust. Maybe now I'll read it after shaming myself in public.

[@alouise3557]

Thank you for the headlight tip! I'm getting one this weekend, and had no idea about the lights having no off switch.

[@MercyOnMySoul]

OMG- Thank You so much for doing this video with these tips. I have owned MB for several years; yet, I didn’t even know about these features.

[@dinocitozi9216]

Love the video well done. I own a GLE for 2 months and I only knew the booklet for Fuse as is easy to spot on my car since is under the passenger seat on the back.

[@saleemqureshi3208]

Thank you for sharing the tips. The acceleration pedal was very helpful.

[@mockba7]

same here

[@rileysmomrene1147]

The info about the gas pedal sensing answered a question for me! Once in a great while, while turning onto a street, it has seemed like my car almost stalled! Now I know that I am causing it and will work on not lifting my foot! Thank you!

[@MBZMaster]

Yes, it takes a few tries to get used to it. It's called defensive driving.

[@cliffordhardwickjr.7341]

That head light tip was awesome! Own my car for 18 months!

[@peacanrican43]

I honestly didn't think about the air tight cabin and keeping the air on, makes tons of sense now cuz it explains those headaches which I thought were hangovers 😅

[@MBZMaster]

😂

[@apodaca8612]

This was awesome!!!! Thank you for the non boring video. Your great !

[@josephpaglia9006]

You are terrific: informative and even entertaining without being annoying, as some folks are as they attempt humor. Good job.

[@johnantonopoulous6381]

The hook on the handle is more for your dry cleaning. If you're walking up to the car you can hit the button open it and then hang your dry cleaning while you're moving stuff inside the car or setting things down if your hands are full that way you can put it on one of the interior hook handles on the back seats.

[@ryancross8136]

You are correct

[@discerningmind]

#9 For anyone confused by the explanation, basically Mercedes are designed not to roll like other cars. It's most noticeable when leaving a stop sign that's on a down hill. In most cars you can just let off the brake and the car will roll away on its own. In a Mercedes you have to have pressure on the accelerator pedal for the car to roll normally.

[@AgentOffice]

Rich people shouldn't have to hold brake

[@mkb5984]

Everyone with a Mercedes is not rich... but i'm working on it!

Thank you so much for that pertinent information!!!!!

[@clmitchell11]

I’m picking up my first Mercedes tomorrow and I am so excited. Your video was very helpful.😊

[@discerningmind]

Congratulations. I want to suggest that if "Mercedes-Benz" is offering extended coverage (warrantee) for your car, consider buying that now, if you haven't already. The reason is the cost for extended coverage will be less money during the time when you first buy a car (within a month or so) because it's considered a good road worthy car by the selling dealership. But if you wait too long the cost for coverage goes up and up. The reason is because there are people that buy the coverage late because they damaged the car, and they don't want to pay a big repair bill, and the coverage is less than the bill.

[@garyowen9044]

#9 new MB owner, I just bought one for my Wife (she drives more than I do, and I wanted her to be safe). I thought it was the CVT, her new Mercedes is also our first car with a CVT. Thanks for the information!

[@vanderneut]

Very entertaining and informative video. Only knew about half of these, and that REST feature is the best one I just learned about. How embarrassing that we never realised we had that option. Thanks :-)

[@cdglobal1]

Hi from Switzerland . Love your show. You should have more frequent content. My question is related to drive assist in GLE 2021 models. What is the difference between Standard and Sensitive in the assistance? Thank you.

[@MBZMaster]

Sensitive I don't recommend. For example too sensitive Parktronic will start beeping even when it senses very little objects, while they're still far away. Or very sensitive Active Brake Assist will detect the smaller objects in front of your car and will try to hit brakes too soon. I guess you should put everything in "sensitive" and see how it feels. If it's overly reactive, then move to "standard."

[@fraurivera2824]

Good info. Excellent program.

[@arthurrzucidlo3416]

The hook is for safety triangle or lantern when you need to alert the traffic. And the hook on the side of the trunk is to keep the seatbelts out of the way (tucked to the side) ...

[@andreoptical8084]

Thanks, very cool video. Big Like. Now, the new GLE makes one and then 3 loud and annoying rigs/bells/alarm sounds first when you enter and start your Benz. I switched from 2019 to 2022 and immediately noticed it on the new one. One of your "don't" about the REST button can hear those sounds. Any idea on how to lower the volume or turn it off completely? I appreciate you looking into this.

Super informative, as a result, I SUBSCRIBED!

[@MBZMaster]

[@ladydjdnyce]

Number nine helped me out a lot because I was wondering what was going on and why the car slowed down by itself all of a sudden. Thanks for making this video.😊 what I wanted to know is what does those three soft buttons under the rearview mirror do? And I also wanted to know if you can turn off the dimming, and if you can turn off the feature that makes the Sideview mirror tilt when you reverse.

[@MBZMaster]

3 buttons on the bottom of the rearview mirror can be programmed to open garage doors. Watch my video how to do it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHyZYoGfosaDi7s. Also, you can switch your right mirror from tilting while in Reverse, if you switch your mirror control from the right to left mirror. But it's a helpful feature for parking, and you can adjust it for yourself. Watch my video where I demoed how to adjust it in one of the features of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/i56XlH-mltB_sNk

The driver who downshifted by accident made, "The Wilhelm scream!!!" It has been used in movies and videos since 1953!!! A character in a western movie named Wilhelm, (Played by Sheb Wolly, "Flying Purple People Eaters," fame), got hit by an Indian's arrow and he makes that scream as he falls from his horse!!! The scream is free domain, and it is titled; "Man being eaten by Alligator."
