Starting Procedure for Mercedes-Benz E300L?
2 Answers
The owner carries the car key, enters the vehicle, steps on the brake pedal, and presses the one-touch start button. If the car fails to start, it may be because the car's power is not turned on; simply turn on the power. To shift gears, step on the brake pedal. After shifting the vehicle into D (Drive) gear, you can operate it using the steering wheel paddle shifters.
Starting the Mercedes-Benz E300L is actually quite simple, and I’ve gotten used to driving it daily for my commute. The first step is to ensure the car is started—sit in the driver’s seat, fasten the seatbelt, and press the start button while holding down the brake pedal. Once started, with the car in Park or Neutral, I shift to D (Drive), which is displayed on the dashboard. Then, gradually release the foot brake or electronic parking brake, and you’ll feel the car move slightly. After that, gently press the accelerator to speed up—the Mercedes accelerates smoothly, especially in Eco mode, making for a comfortable start. In daily driving, I often notice the auto start-stop feature; if it’s enabled, starting requires an even lighter press to avoid sudden jerks and discomfort. In congested city traffic, this smooth start helps save fuel. Overall, always keep your eyes forward and stay aware of your surroundings to ensure safe driving.
