Press the power ON/OFF button or connect the charger, the dashcam will automatically enter the recording mode and start recording, with the blue indicator light flashing.

To understand how to use the dashcam in the Mercedes-Benz E300L, I'll share my daily driving experience. Once the car starts, the dashcam usually turns on automatically without pressing any buttons—it begins recording near the rearview mirror. To view the footage, you need to use the Mercedes-Benz APP. First, download Mercedes me, enable Bluetooth to connect to the car's system, and then you can check videos in real time or save them to your phone. The APP also allows you to adjust loop recording duration and video resolution—I prefer 1080P for clearer footage. The memory card should be formatted regularly to avoid full storage issues. I use the SD card recommended by the manufacturer and format it once a month. The parking monitoring feature can be toggled in the APP to prevent excessive battery drain, especially when parked outdoors for too long. Maintenance is simple—just wipe the lens with a soft cloth if it gets dirty to avoid obstructed vision. Overall, the system is smart and has helped me document many unexpected road incidents. I recommend beginners read the vehicle manual thoroughly to avoid misoperations that waste storage space.
