Long press the power button to turn the dash cam on or off. The dash cam will automatically enter recording mode after being powered on. Press the mode control button to select photo mode, then press the OK button to take a photo. After turning on the dash cam, press the mode control button to enter preview mode.
Last time when I first drove the Mercedes-Benz A200, it took me a few minutes to figure out the dashcam. Step one: start the ignition, find the dashcam app on the central control screen and open it. First-time use will prompt activation—scan the QR code with your phone to download the official app for pairing, then connect to the in-car WiFi and you're done. Next, adjust the resolution and enable loop recording in the settings; I prefer 1080P to save space. Press the button on the left side of the steering wheel twice to manually save emergency footage, just in case you miss capturing something. It records automatically while driving, and parking surveillance stays on after turning off the engine, but remember to disable it to avoid draining the battery. Want to export clips? Select segments in the app to save directly to your phone or plug a USB drive into the center console port—super convenient. When the storage card is full, it prompts to overwrite old recordings. I clear the card monthly to ensure it doesn’t fail in critical moments.
My friend keeps asking how to use the dashcam when driving my car. It automatically turns on when the ignition starts, so just let it record by default if you don't want to bother with settings. Playback is even simpler: find the multimedia menu on the central console, enter the dashcam icon, and you can search by time or filter by emergency events. In case of a collision, there's a red-dot button on the left side of the steering wheel—press it hard to save the current clip. The mobile app allows you to view live footage and adjust the wide-angle view, with HDR providing super-clear images at night. By default, recording stops when the car is turned off, but you can enable time-lapse monitoring in the app to capture parking lot activity. It's recommended to use a power bank for this feature to avoid draining the car battery. Get a high-speed memory card to prevent frame drops, and a 64GB card can store about five days of looped recordings.
