That when you activate the windscreen washer the air recirculation automatically activates (doesn't light up though). My guess is to stop the smell of the washer fluid entering the car.

It's more noticeable if the fan speed is set quite high.

With Keyless Go, you can open/close the windows & sunroof using the door handle with you key in your pocket. Hold the unlock on the back of the door handle to open them & hold the lock button on the front of the handle to close them.

You need more than Keyless Go; you need the $250 Hands-Free Access package for the ability to both open and close the trunk electronically.

In Australia they come as one 'KEYLESS-GO with hands free access'

For MY 2016 at least you had to buy the stand-alone power trunk option ($250). That got you the automatic open/close and the hands-free opener.

Here's how it works:

1)Approach the car's trunk with two arms full of groceries.

2)Flail your foot around the underside of the bumper pointlessly for several seconds.

3)Fumble around in your pocket for the key.

^ plus..
4) Reach into trunk to place groceries

5) Accidentally step too far under the rear bumper

6) Get slogged in back of head by auto-closing boot lid.

Yes! It's the best of both worlds: Public humiliation plus personal injury!

+ plus the inner humiliation of knowing you paid for all this.

I'm glad this is one bullet I have dodged.

I actually ordered the car and waved off the power trunk option because I didn't need the hands free, but I wanted the power trunk. I've had it in my past 3 cars and it's kind of handy to be able to open and close the trunk from the driver's seat, or to close it with the button on the deck lid when your hands are full. For $250 I was ok with it.

When I first got it it only responded 30% of the time. Had it fixed under warranty.

I use it every day when I have my work bag in one hand and gym bag in the other. A long swipe under the car works better than a kick.

I found the internet in the merc is a joke. Not worth pursue. However, all you need to do is to Bluetooth link up your mobile. Then on your iPhone, turn on personal hotspot to share your data. Then on your car, go to the telephone function, pick internet from the top menu. The rest of it is to painfully type google.co.uk to access a simple webpage, or wait forever to get your local weather. Much better off use the app on your phone.

Is there anyway to connect the Benz to a wifi network? I notice that the method you suggested uses Bluetooth tethering and that isn't an option my phone allows. (long story, work phone and blocked by work but I have a wifi hotspot device)

Hi,

I'm not aware of allowing the w205 connecting to another Wi-Fi hot-spot.

Just another thought if your work has disabled Wi-Fi tethering.

Connect your device via USB cable to access internet.

what device do you have?

LongPlay

Thanks for your response.

I have an iPhone and my wife has a S6 Samsung. Do you know if those can USB tether?

GLO

Both should be fine.

you do still need to enable hot-spot though!

LongPlay

Right. That rules out my phone.

Wife can do it - weird but for some reason her S6 doesn't offer Bluetooth tethering as an option. Although if you google it, it should be an option.

Thanks!

iPhone 6 you just turn on Hotspot on your phone then go to MB Apps on Comand to start connecting to your device.

Biggreenogg

Same here. On my way to MB service to have the screech added.

I just discovered yesterday that if you are in manual mode and upshift to 2nd while stopped, automatic downshifting will then stop at 2nd instead of 1st for the rest of the drive.

gfmohn

Does that have any practical use? Or does it cause problems? Or does it merely void the warranty?

Mercedes transmissions are designed to start from stop in second gear if you are in Econ or comfort mode. They will start from first gear in sport and sport plus.

Mine starts in first while using comfort.
