In a lot of mini vans the 2nd row seat becomes flush with the floorboard, making it very easy to get to the 3rd row. appreciate if anyone who has the 3rd row seats would chime in as well. THANKS

Hey Nick! Excellent Video! I'm very interested in towing with our new Mercedes, which should be arriving at the beginning of next year. We mainly ordered the trailer hitch to take our bikes with us on vacation. What assistance systems are still working while towing and is it necessary to be particularly careful because of the high torque from the electric motor in the EQ power models? I read in the owner's manual that the reversing camera has a special towing position. Is that right? A video about this topic is also hard to find on KZbin! It would be great if you could make a video about it!
@npoleary3 жыл бұрын
Hi Berno, Thanks for the comment! Glad you like the video! All of the assistance systems function like normal, I guess the only things which might be affected will be the parking sensors for the rear. As far as I’m aware there isn’t an EQ power model on the GLB in the UK. Not sure if they’ll be one in the future! Yes the reversing camera usually does on other models. I haven’t used it on the GLB yet but if I see one I’ll take a look.

@@npoleary Sorry, I was a little imprecise with my statement in my comment. 😅 Our new Mercedes will be a CLA SB 250e. You're absolutely right that a GLB PHEV isn't available. Speaking of not available: Why can the Parktronic from model year 20/2 on not park parallel anymore? It was a great feature when we tried it last time and very impressive to watch!
@npoleary3 жыл бұрын
Hi Berno, Ah okay no problem! Ooo very nice! The CLA 250e’s are very very nice! Wouldn’t mind one myself! One day! In answer to your question about Parking Assist, with the growing intelligence of assistance systems in cars across the world, new laws have had to come into play to ensure the driver is in full control of their car at all times (even when parking and using driving assistance packages etc). This is of course obvious to us all, but the laws that have come into effect now mean that vehicles must be fitted with a hands on / hands off sensor to be able to utilise Active Lane Change Assist and Active Parking Assist. As Mercedes-Benz do not have a hands on / hands off sensor (not many manufactures do yet) they like others have had no choice but to remove it. This is to comply with the United Nations regulation Law (UN-R-79).
@_.benyen._3 жыл бұрын
@@npoleary Thank you for your quick answer! I always wondered what could be the reason - I as a car manufacture wouldn't delete helpful assistance systems but it's understandable that Mercedes had to react to new laws. It's a bit disappointing for me that some laws regulate car manufacturers so much in terms of innovation of assisted driving on level 2+. Especially the Parktronic is a system where the driver is always able to stop or control the car in every moment of the parking process like you showed us. Mercedes found good ways to keep the driver always able to immediately cancel the operation. Those implementation methods should stay legal in my opinion. It's another story at level 3 and partly autonomous driving where the driver is allowed to be distracted. I think the UN law primarily targets manufactures who promise autopilots without mentioning their limits. Unfortunately this also affects well thought out systems. 😕 Apart from that: Keep up the good work! I'm really impressed with the quality of your videos! 👌🏼Especially your explanations are easy to understand and help people like my dad to understand the variety of features today's cars got.

Coming from a saloon car without any boot opening risks, does the GLB use sensors to detect obstacles to stop the boot opening in order to prevent damage?

Any guidance on this appreciated thanks.
