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

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.

#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.

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

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

[peacanrican]

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 😅

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.

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!

[leidybonita]

Sometimes I don’t like the AC and I turn off but that is why I got headache. Well since today I won’t turn off my air conditioner anymore and thank you so much for explaining why. 😊

Planning on buying my first Mercedes. I have no clue what I’m getting into. Thanks for the tips

I purchased my first MB in January 2021. It is a 2015 GLK 350 4MATIC. I love your informative videos! Thank you!

[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.

If only the Germans could make seats like the French. German motors, French seats, Italian upholstery, American air conditioning, and Japanese quality.

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) ...

[josephpaglia]

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

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."

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...!

[thomasmarengi]

Great video! Very entertaining and extremely useful. I got more out of this than the dealer provided 4 months ago when I picked up the GLE 350 new! Thanks, MBZ Master.

[saleemqureshi]

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

#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!
