What are the operating and starting steps for a Mercedes-Benz?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz operating and starting steps are: 1. Take out the car key and open the door; 2. Enter the car and adjust the seat; 3. Press the one-touch start button on the right side of the steering wheel; 4. Press the brake pedal; 5. Shift the gear paddle to D gear; 6. Press the horn, release the brake pedal, and step on the accelerator to start. Taking the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E260L Sport as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5078mm, width 1860mm, height 1484mm, wheelbase 3079mm, and fuel tank capacity 66L. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E260L Sport is equipped with a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 184PS, maximum power of 135kW, maximum torque of 280Nm, and is paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
The first time I drove a Mercedes-Benz, it took me a while to figure things out, but now I'm much more proficient. First, sit in the driver's seat and close the door securely—no need to take the key out of your pocket. Press the brake pedal and use your right hand to push the start button next to the steering wheel. The car will hum as it begins self-checking, and it takes about 5 seconds for all the dashboard indicators to turn off. Don’t rush to move just yet—check if the electronic parking brake has automatically released (the P light on the dashboard should disappear). The most unique feature of a Mercedes is its column shifter design: the small lever behind the right side of the steering wheel. Gently push it downward to engage Drive (D) mode. Finally, glance at the side mirrors before pressing the accelerator—the takeoff is exceptionally smooth. Remember to wait for the RPM gauge to stabilize after a cold start before driving off, otherwise, the engine may accumulate carbon deposits.
