cant find the manual
Its 2018 model one week old if that matters
How do I turn off stop start! Preferably permanently?
If there is no way to do this, would flattening the battery by leaving the headlights on for a few hours stop it cutting out so frequently p!
Scary drive up a long hill, every 12” it cut out , nasty shudder as the engine comes back on, slips back a little, with the take up!
Slight shudder as it cuts out.
In a 2 mile trip to the shops it cut out with stop start 40 times.
This start stop b*llocks is atrocious!
On the steeper section, I seriously thought I would lose my unblemished record of zero accidents in 40 years of driving.
I was positive I was going to roll back into the car behind.
After 28 years of MB ownership .... this is the F*CKING, NASTIEST PILE OF CRAP I HAVE EVER DRIVEN WITH A THREE POINTED STAR.
Is this made in Mexico or Romania something!
I was well ****ed off with my CL500s abs issues but now f*ck I love her to bits!
Anybody nuts enough to pay more than £10K, for a new one of these .... should have a long test drive and then drive a proper MB. Or get themselves certified.
Wallowy steering,
Reversing camera lines way off. So useless
Truly Gutless engine.
Loud noisy fans
The most uncomfortable seats EVER. I have always LOVED Every MB seat ( C class, CLK, S , SL, and CL.)
If you are 6’ plus there is a ruddy gap in the base if you extend it, and the second pillow bit in the base is angled. Horrendous.
Totally shocked and Speechless!
How much do these cars cost with all the toys like this reversing cams etc.? What £22K!
The only things I like are
- the way it flashes up the new speed limit as you hit it ... but would like that to stay on!
- stick your foot under the rear bumper and the boot opens.
Period!
Sorry but this is NOT A MERCEDES.
ANY HANKERING AFTER A NEW MERCEDES HAS GONE STRAIGHT OUT OF THE WINDOW!
Honestly this is what I would expect if I got in a KIA or one of these cheapo Chinese clone thingies.
