There's a link above now about how to test car fuses without having to pull
them out using a multimeter. Hello everybody it's 'Lurgs' here welcome to my
channel and today the Mercedes S-Class some of the features that you might not
know about, some of these features on the Mercedes S-Class are absolutely
brilliant, right let's get cracking. Mercedes S-Class top tips Number 1.
This is a handy tip for the Sun Visor and this works on the driver and
passenger side, so you put the Sun Visor to the side because you've got the sun
shining in your eyes but what you can do is you can actually extend it a little
bit further, it actually slides along on the rod, literally can slide it backwards and
forwards just gives you a bit of extra protection from any Sun, this is what it
looks like from the outside and there's a link above now about the battery
location and how to check the battery on your Mercedes S-Class. Number 2 how to
turn on and turn off the traffic announcements [TA] with one button, so what
you do is with this stereo on and the ignition just hold down the 'mute' button
on the steering wheel for 3 seconds and then that turns the traffic updates
on, likewise if you hold it down forh 3 seconds again you'll turn it off,
let's just zoom in here hold it for 3 seconds on, hold it for 3
seconds off, so if you want to stop this happening 'traffic update the M25
anti-clockwise Junction 15 has a five-mile tailback'. Number 3 open all
the windows remotely, you're walking up to your Mercedes and it's a baking hot
day so before you arrive at the car take out your key fob
on your key fob remote you're literally pressing the unlock button but instead
of just pressing it quickly if you hold it down for 2 to 3 seconds then
the car will unlock and all four windows will open likewise if you just pulled up
and parked and you're going off and all your windows are open you can press the
lock button hold that for 2 to 3 seconds and the car will lock and all
the four windows will shut automatically, and there's a link above now about how
to replace the battery in your Mercedes key fob remote. Number 4 closing all
the windows from inside using one button, we're driving along and we've got all
the windows open and we're just coming up to a tunnel and we want to quickly
close all the windows to prevent the car getting full of fumes, now this air
recirculate button keeps the air within the car but what you can do is if you
hold it down for 2 to 3 seconds it will literally close all the windows and
then once you've exited the tunnel you can hold that button down again for
another 2 to 3 seconds and it will open the windows back to the point at
which they were set. Number 5 you're coming up to a road junction or
some traffic lights and you put your foot on the brake pedal and you don't
want to have to hold it there and you don't want to put the handbrake on, so
what you can do is with your foot on the brake pedal just give it a small pump
and then that puts the Hold feature on, and that will hold the car until the
moment that you then press the accelerator pedal and it will release it
automatically, and then you can just drive off, I use that feature all the
time it's really really handy, I'm pressing the accelerator pedal now and
the Hold feature is released and off we go!
Number 6 this is the Handy boot clip, so lift this lever up here lift this lid
and on the back of the S-Class you've got this hook, what you do is you just
unplug that hook and then that literally just clips over the chassis just below
the rear window and that keeps that up in the air so then that gives you access
to all the tools underneath that lid, and I believe this is a feature on most
Mercedes models and here is the Mercedes C-Class and this boot clip is
slightly different but it still has the same effect, and there's a link above now
about how to adjust the steering wheel on your Mercedes S-Class.
Number 7 this is opening the bonnet or the hood but making it go
absolutely vertical, so normally you open the bonnet and it normally goes up to
about a 45 degree angle but if you want better access to things in the engine or
you're maybe taking the engine out it can actually go vertical, now I won't go
into the exact detail of how you do this in this short video but there's a link
above now about how to raise the bonnet vertically. Number 8, the fuel filler
cap holder, letting your fuel filler cap dangle on the chassis is not good for
the paintwork especially if you've got a diesel, so the best thing to do is put it
in the fuel filler cap holder!
Number 9, now this very handy tip is not specific to the Mercedes it should
be the same on all modern vehicles and it's really really useful especially if
you drive lots of different cars, so on the dashboard where the fuel filler (gas filler) pump
icon is there's a small arrow and this indicates what side of the car your fuel (gas)
filler cap is on, so on this model it is on the right-hand side. Tip Number 10 how to
turn on and off the air conditioning very easily, now you might think as I did
that to turn the air conditioning on or off you have to go into the Menu system
select the temperature system on the dashboard on the screen, and then select
the air conditioning icon in the bottom right-hand corner using the dial and
then put the tick in it if you want it on and then select it again if you want
it off, but actually you don't need to do any of that, there's a far simpler way of
turning it on and off, so at the moment the air conditioning is off and I want to
turn it on, you literally just press this air conditioning rest button, when the
LED light is lit the air conditioning is now on, if you want to turn it off you
just press the button again and when the light is out the air conditioning is off,
and it's that simple. After all those handy tips on the
