No Manuals with the car?

I just picked up my GTs today, six months old a 1000 miles on it. Very pleased with it and will post some pics when I get chance.

The selling dealer was actually a Bentley franchise. They had no manuals to give me, no leather/plastic folder, nothing really. They said that the seller told them it didn't come with anything. I questioned this so they contacted a Mercedes dealer belonging to the same company and they told them exactly the same thing - just comes with a digital manual, no folder or anything else. My C63s Coupe, bought new last September had manuals, bits of this and that and a leather folder... so I'm quite puzzled. Can anyone confirm that current GTs don't come with anything? (I did get two keys!)

Yep, folder, owners manual, service guide and a little cd-rom.

If you have the forged wheels, also check for the adapter to remove the centre lock style cover.

When did you get yours xbox? The Mercedes dealer said it applied to cars (maybe UK cars?) after September 2016.. Quite dubious now, will contact the selling dealer again with a link to this thread.

What do you mean about the round adapter? Do you mean the plastic one for the wheel hub cover? If so - yes I have that.

EU car March '17 - yes, for wheels with covered bolts, you don't want to be missing that along with the tyre inflating kit.

Mine (picked up in October 16) came with a manual in a fake leather pouch that actually does not fit in the glove box or anywhere else. Congrats with the purchase and looking forward to your pics and feedback on the car.

Thanks to both of you.

I've actually found a few things myself. Mercedes, in their online manual state:


"The printed Owner's Manual provides information about the safe operation of your vehicle. The Digital Owner's Manual provides comprehensive and specifically adapted information on your vehicle's equipment and multimedia system. You can call up the Digital Owner's Manual via the multimedia system."

And there are sets of 2016 UK manuals for sale on Ebay!

My 2016 came with the printed owner's manual and the other bits you see in the photo. I downloaded the infotainment manual (COMMAND) as well as the owner's manual.

The iPhone electronic manual app is also pretty useful and always to hand, since as mentioned, the car is not exactly bursting with places to store/secure the wallet

Would love to hear how the GT experience compares to your C63S and TTS? Not so much the performance, but more the connection between driver/car and overall emotion associated with the driving experience

Both are on my list of potential stable mates and as a fellow GT owner, your insight would be particularly insightful.

I will probably make another thread to cover this soon, it's a bit early days with the GT for me to comment properly.

Just for future readers of this thread - Manuals have been ordered from a Mercedes dealer, should take a week to arrive.
