1E6384CC-0C50-4D26-8428-9CA82950E86E.jpeg New to Mercedes with an S63 Coupe I’ve owned for a couple of weeks. It’s a 2016, so pre-facelift with the 5.5. My lack of Mercedes knowledge means I have a lot to learn about the features on the car.

Welcome, lovely car. You’re certainly starting your Mercedes experience in style!

There is a Mercedes Guides app available for free and you can then download the manual for your model and year. I find it much easier to use this to search for answers than using the paper version.

Thank you both.

The Mercedes Guides app has been useful. I like to read up about cars I buy. I’ve got the launch brochure too, though that was probably a bit less helpful.

I tried sport mode today. That feels like a shot of adrenaline. Not that the car feels like it needs one.

When you say Launch Brochure,
is this Cape Canaveral style?

What a superb car to start your introduction to the brand.
Congrats and well done.
Plenty of experienced owners of the biturbo engine to help with your questions.

Thanks for the welcome and the very kind words.

In the mid-90s I met a bloke that let me drive his SL60. That was the first AMG I recall. Didn’t imagine I’d ever own an AMG like that.
