Is it just me or does everyone struggle with learning about their new Merc? I feel as though I need to earn some sort of degree in how MB formatt there systems for the car.
Barely anything is intuitive, (imho of course), but, a lot of that could be down to me being an old git,
I've needed the owners manual with this car, I'd have been lost without it, previously I only needed one for oddball jobs and specific items pertinent to which ever model of car I've been using.
I have spent the best part of 6 hours with the owners manual in my lap sitting in the car over yesterday and today, till I got the hang of what I can/need to know/do, of course there's a lot I probably haven't picked up yet but I will continue to try and learn as much as I can, it's in my own best interest after all.
Could it be that its because this is my first MB plus, I've started with a slightly higher spec model and so, have had more to learn than those who have had several Mercs over the years?
Don't get me wrong I love this car, but, I just think that they could have been made a little (a lot) more intuitive.
