Pre-entry by key will work without Me but you will need me to activate it by phone remotely. I use key even though I have Me as it is just easier to do than to schedule each time. Unlock car, locknit again wait 10mins - everything nice and warm/cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree with you - it parks at crazy speeds but it DOES brake! I have only trusted it with parallel parking. It can do bay parking but I was even more alarmed at its approach and did put the brakes on and do it myself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes - as you suggest. I activate mine about 15mins before I want to leave. I have noticed that the pre-warm seems to switch off the charging! Once the pre-warm cycle is over (about 10mins) it goes back to charging (green light at socket). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just done two >180mile trips on motorway. Getting c.40mpg providing I have a full charge at start and c.34mpg without. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did have some intermittent issues with it timing out before it had sent the instruction. I put it down to the car having a poor signal - mobile phone signal is patchy where we live. I find the unlock with the key and leave for 5mins it is more straightforward. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The car does tend to try and use electric first unless you are going >60mph. I find if you are going on <20 mile journeys in urban areas with charging at either end you can leave it in the default C - Hybrid setting. Longer than that I use Eco (switching to Sport if I need the pace) again in...

I read somewhere (US site I recall) that it is an absolute NO for the C Class in its current form. So no retrofit of Apple CarPlay. Perhaps future facelifts may allow it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it is better than the equivalent on my old BMW. Have to balance it with some intelligence and it does flip-flop a lot e.g. On my journey home where I could go m6 or m42. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can see what it is doing in the energy flow screen on Comand and in the trip computer. The 30s are what I see when it is charging round town it is a bit better when at a faster cruise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes it will - you will pay for it in low (sub 30) mpg. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed the manual says cold but I think the plate inside the fuel flap with the pressures refers to warm? I am going to look again in the morning. In practice I inflate/adjust my tyres at home cold anyway. I am keeping an eye on wear but at only 6k old they are still looking fine across the...

To be fair it isn't that easy to get them spot on. Having inflated up to the heavy car setting I have now reduced the pressure to the standard settings. Before and after I have noticed how sensitive tyres are to heat even the difference between the shady side and the sunny side of the car can...

On the manual to end all manuals point - have you tried downloading the Mercedes Guides app? It allows you to download a local copy of the manual which is searchable and saves a lot of time. I downloaded it 6 months before delivery! Parking assist definitely helped by indicating in my...

It is in the online apps on Comand. Go to Mercedes web apps in Comand (globe icon on the top menu band) and find the Web apps - open that and then open the POI download app. You can then access POIs that you sent from the web app or Google maps. You can also get to this from the Destination...

I have just towed our 1tn folding camper to Switzerland. Getting 24mpg with that behind and a roof box on the top. It tows very well. I used to have a 3.0d x3 and I can't really say that I have noticed a difference. The factory fit tow bar is good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes factory fitted on an estate. Very good too -nice height for my trailer and the air suspension has kept everything on the level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am towing a 1tn trailer (folding camper) down to Switzerland and with a roof box on the top of the car I am getting 25mpg! Arrghh! I had hoped for 30. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you bookmark the main function page of the website on your iPhone using the "add to home screen" you effectively get a much better app than the official app with all the functionality of the website in an app screen. I don't use the app at all as it has many bits missing. Sent from my...

In the air con settings - navigate on the top ribbon to pre entry climate - there is an option in there for driver side only or both front seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use the pre entry on key option. Just unlock about 10mins before you want to set off and then lock it again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
