To reiterate what has already been stated. Definitely more urgent and silky smooth in E when I've drove hubby's CLS220d and pressed the S button. Since it's a 69 plate, check out the adblue range (in the menus on the dashboard). Just for the purpose of collecting data, if you decide to buy one.

You have been a member since 2003, so it is understandable that you have encountered the subjects in my threads numerous times. Conversely, I have been a member for only 10 months and continue to discover new information about a marque I have owned for decades. Furthermore, I am confident there are other members like myself, which is why I invest significant time and effort in assisting newer members rather than the seasoned veterans, who I presume possess extensive knowledge and lack interest in my posts, which may seem trivial to them. Similarly, I am not directing my efforts towards these forum experts, as they certainly do not require assistance from someone like me. This is an international forum for Mercedes owners and enthusiasts, encompassing both members and guests. My intention is to offer assistance, advice, insights, and occasionally share humorous clips, cartoons, or light-hearted content. I do not aim to impart knowledge to those already well-versed, as I have previously stated; those with expertise may simply bypass my threads, as I have reiterated multiple times. My little movie elucidates the function, since a 'picture' conveys a thousand words, making it more comprehensible than text. Therefore, I believe a comprehensive video on the topic is warranted, and at 2 minutes and 4 seconds, it is relatively concise.

I think you would benefit from reading my post and maybe even watching the movie because you are completely incorrect. Oh, I see... It seems like you're against my attempts to produce useful postings in some way

I started this thread in case there are others who are unaware of this safety feature and might find it interesting, as well as as a way to get to know their Mercedes better. I searched the forum and couldn't find anything specifically posted about Automatic Park, also known as Automatic Transmission Park-Lock, Automatic Park-Lock, Park-lock, Drive-Away Protection, etc. This post probably won't matter to you if this isn't you and you're already familiar with Automatic Transmission Park-Lock. The subject was brought up in the "What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?" thread by an anonymous user from MSN2004. I must express my gratitude to him for shedding light on this safety feature that Mercedes has implemented; I must admit, even after owning and driving these cars for more than 20 years, I was unaware of it. 👍😁 Also, I'm fully aware that this feature isn't to everyone's liking; in fact, some people think it's the very opposite of useful when doing moves like reversing a caravan, where you need to lean out and/or look behind while driving. Although I wouldn't say it happened while driving a Mercedes, I have witnessed such things happening on private property, so it's not entirely out of the ordinary. I personally think Automatic Park is a fantastic safety feature; Mercedes developed it as a roll-away prevention system, and it activates when the driver does anything that could cause the car to creep, roll, or lurch. However, as the old saying goes, "one man's meat is another man's poison," so you can't please everyone. Then what exactly is this "Automatic Park" that I've been raving about? To put it briefly, it is... When the door is opened while the car is still in Drive or Reverse and the driver is still sitting, Mercedes will automatically shift into Park. From 2010 and later models, the majority of Mercedes vehicles have this feature: * Controls for changing gears electronically (central toggle or column stalk) * Self-parking electronic brake a seat-occupied detector The door-open safety interlock can be used. If your Mercedes is equipped with Park-Lock, you may tell by looking at the following: * It has park-lock, yes. You can access it using the electronic gear selector on the steering column. * It has Park-Lock, yes, thanks to a little electrical toggle that reads "Electric." A large physical lever for turning power on and off—mechanical—NO, it does not * A stick shift—no park—no, it doesn't

"This vehicle has already been created." is the message that appears when I try to register the automobile, despite the fact that I registered for Mercedes Me previously. To verify your identity as the vehicle's new owner, please get in touch with your local Mercedes-Benz dealer. Does anybody have any idea how much the pin code to authorise a download from Mercedes Me would cost? I plan to call my local dealer tomorrow to find out.

I take it that you got it for free? After you confirm the card is suitable by providing the VIN number when you purchase, the vendor will send you an SD card with instructions and a PIN.

Thank you once again for the very useful response.

You're absolutely right; I'm grateful. You may find a vendor on eBay with reasonable prices and positive reviews; thus, updating via SD card should work. The fact that I do not own the original installation program is causing me anxiety in the event that it corrupts the existing maps.

The part number makes me think it could be for an SLK, but I'm not sure. Does it matter whether model year a model is from if the same software is used?

Salutations everyone, My just purchased X218 CLS350 SB (first registered 18.9.2013, release date 11.6.13) would benefit from having its maps updated. It may be NTG 4.5 if I'm wrong, or NTG 4.7, which came out in June 2013. Is there a significant difference between the two versions in terms of map updates? The vehicle identification document specifies that it has a code 527 COMAND DVD APS navigation system and a code 810 premium sound system. Here is the current version as seen below. Do subsequent versions provide complete updates, or is it necessary to top each version with an update? Is there anything I need to be careful about since there are upgrades for memory cards and stuff? Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

Exceedingly impressive, likely the finest specimen of a C208 I have ever encountered.

In the past, I inadvertently secured my keys inside on several occasions. The initial occurrence was, oddly, directly outside the Bromley police station. I entered with a sheepish demeanour and provided an explanation. The man at the desk enquired about the make of the car. Austin A60. He provided me with a set of keys, stating, "One of these will fit." The initial one succeeded. Individuals exhibited a high degree of trust throughout that period. I applied this knowledge when I performed the same procedure on my Bedford CA, which is also an FS series key. Feeling embarrassed, I enquired of a gentleman parked along the road if he would assist me by unlocking my van. I believed his key would be compatible. Indeed, that occurred. Neither vehicle was particularly valuable, although the A60 was stolen on one occasion. Parked it in the centre of Regent Street, left the headlights on, and depleted the battery. They clearly did not consider it worth retaining.
