Haha - you don't saying WHO is doing the cursing... Is it:

a) Driver - "I'll show this f****ing car who's boss - take that, you bas***d!", or
B) Car - "Let go of my f***ing downshifter, you b***ard! Don't you realise that if you do that I'm going to throw up gearbox oil and cogs all over the road... That'll teach you!"

Haha. Good one! Will fix the typo.

HAHA.. first time I noticed that I though the car was broken because I inadvertently left my key in a work bag which I put in the trunk. I was standing at the back of the car like an idiot cursing ".. well that's just great - now the darn lid won't close!"

Hahahaha! Thats actually how i found out about it lol..

Does anyone have issues closing the gas tank door? I have to do it couple times to get it right.... Is there a special trick to it?

cajun1689

car cant be locked.

Matts2015c300

You probably have a poorly aligned tank door like I had. I used to have the same problem before it was replaced due to poor alignment. Now it closes perfectly every time.

realness101

I think this may be my issue. My doors are unlocked but I keep closing it, but it pops right open. Now I just fill up my tank all the way every time .

I had the opposite problem. I would have to poke the door several times before it would pop out for fueling. I sometimes thought that I might have to use a credit card to pry it out. The gaps around the door were not even, and the top edge of the door stuck out. All in all, this was not what I expected in the way of fit-and-finish from an almost $55,000 (MSRP) luxury car. As with Matts2015c300, the dealer had no problem simply replacing the door assembly and got the gaps right. End of problem.

I've had this issue a couple of times. Not sure why.

I also couldn't open it once. The gas station attendant told me to unlock the car. I felt stoopid.

Classic.

Not sure I would have shared that one, though...

It made me like him even more! It reminds me of when I got my first ever iPhone. The 3G. I was styling then, for sure. Only all of the sudden, I couldn't hear my phone ring, nor get any alert sounds. I walked right on into the AT&T store and claimed there was something wrong with my phone. The guy looked at my phone, clicked the mute switch back up and handed me my phone and said, "sir, next time, check the mute button!" I felt stoopid as well........

You can use the MBrace app to start the car for 10mins even if your out of the country on a long vacation 👏🏽

So I own a 2015 c300 , It had a few thousand miles on it. I wanted to know if there is a way to reset the car so it can used to my driving behavior and not the previous owner.

I hurt my back today so I figured I would use the heated seats to help relieve some pain. I learned that if you have it on level three, its highest setting. After a few minutes it automatically switches down to level two. A few more minutes level one. Then eventually shuts down.

I have seen these instructions in several different posts. The only mention in a post specific to the W205 models comes from a post from the well-known Glyn M Ruck https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...CU#post6273669:Unlike other commenters, Ruck does NOT claim that this procedure resets the ECU. Nonetheless, this may help. In the long run, I would expect the ECU will learn your driving technique. I don't know what period it averages.


My guess is that you are not concerned that the previous owner was a boy racer, whose pattern of use has made your car too responsive for you! If the previous owner was more conservative than you are, he or she probably never used the Sport or Sport+ modes. They would remain at their factory default settings.

Most tuning companies disconnect battery for 8 hours or more as a general solutions.

Is there a way to disable the 'Don't forget your key' chime when you enter/exit the vehicle?

cyberorth

I wonder if you take the engine start button out it would stop that.

*Knowledge*

Just confirmed, that does not work.

gfmohn

I wouldn't do that without expert advice. I believe that, for openers, you will lose all your settings, radio and so on. I know that's the whole point of this procedure, but those tuners may have some way of continuing to power the systems whose settings you want to keep.

cyberorth

That is correct you will lose presets. In my reference, the idea of having to reestablish the radio setting in order to get your tune to work is not even argued, rather accepted without questions. Just pretend you're switching your dead battery. Redoing presets is a given.
It is also the whole point to cut power completely to clear driver learning memory.

On another note when the dealers do this (resetting) they follow a protocol to teach the car the mb standard defaults. The idea is that a new car does not default to a more aggressive driving style directly off the showroom. This can be found on startekinfo and involves specific rituals as well as particular ways of driving a few miles. I was familiar with this with my w204, but not with w205 as I have only had 3 weeks with it.

gfmohn

I have seen enough of these posts about this quest for ever "more aggressive driving style" that I am finally curious enough to ask a question. Just what are you guys looking for? Is there something that dialing up Sport+ doesn't do? Despite my previous remark about boyracers, I am not putting you down. I realize not every driver wants the same thing.
