To turn on the heater in a Mercedes-Benz, follow these steps: 1. Press the brake pedal; 2. Press the car's one-touch start button; 3. The car's dashboard lights up, and the vehicle starts; 4. Press the AUTO button to activate the air conditioning system; 5. Press the temperature adjustment button downward to turn on the heating system. Models under the Mercedes-Benz brand include: Mercedes-Benz GLS, Mercedes-Benz GLE, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Mercedes-Benz GLA, and Mercedes-Benz CLA. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS as an example, it is a mid-to-large-sized car with body dimensions of: length 5214mm, width 1956mm, height 1823mm, and a wheelbase of 3135mm. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLS is equipped with a 2.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 313PS, a maximum power of 230kW, a maximum torque of 400Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving a Mercedes for several years, and using the heater requires a step-by-step approach. First, start the car and wait for the engine to warm up for about a minute or two until the coolant temperature gauge reaches the middle position. Then, locate the climate control panel and turn the temperature knob to the red zone – setting it to 26°C or higher will heat up faster. Press the AUTO button to let the system automatically manage fan speed and airflow direction. If you don't need cold air, turning off the A/C saves fuel. Mercedes' heating system is quite efficient, but don't expect instant warmth in winter – some cool air may blow out initially. I prefer directing airflow to the footwell vents to prevent dry air from blowing directly on my face. Remember to replace the cabin air filter every six months, as accumulated dust reduces heating efficiency. For long drives, avoid setting the temperature too high to prevent drowsiness and ensure safety. These simple yet practical tips make winter driving more comfortable.
