Where is the Mercedes-Benz center console screen switch located?
3 Answers
Mercedes-Benz center console screen switch is located on the center console panel. There is a button on the panel with a circular symbol, which is the button that controls the center console screen switch. The center console panel also has many other functions, such as volume keys, multimedia menu, audio menu shortcuts, return key, automatic parking, and parking radar switch. Mercedes-Benz is a German automotive brand under the Daimler Group, known as the inventor of the automobile. In June 1926, Daimler and Benz merged to form Daimler-Benz. Mercedes-Benz cars are world-renowned for their high quality and high performance. In addition to luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz is also a manufacturer of world-famous buses and heavy-duty trucks.
I've seen many new Mercedes-Benz models, and actually their center control screens don't have a separate power button. As soon as you unlock the car, turn the key or press the start button, the large screen automatically lights up to welcome you, synchronized with the dashboard. If you really want to turn the screen off, you need to find the row of touch buttons at the bottom of the center console or use the small knob. You can press and hold the small house icon on the left side of the center button for three seconds, or go into the system settings and select the display option to turn off the screen. Some coupe models even have shortcut keys on the steering wheel. However, it's best to manually turn off the navigation and music before shutting down the engine to avoid a sudden loud noise the next time you start the car. Turning off the screen while waiting in the car does save some battery, but Mercedes engineers say it doesn't affect the lifespan of the main unit in the long run.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz C-Class for three years, and every time I start the car, the dashboard and center console screen automatically turn on. To temporarily turn off the screen, I either press the little house button on the left side of the steering wheel to enter the main menu and find the shutdown option, or simply tap anywhere on the row of touch-sensitive air conditioning buttons below the screen to wake up the display. A trick is to switch to another interface when using navigation and then turn off the screen, so the navigation won't reset the route the next time it starts. The new models' touchscreens are incredibly responsive, and the screen-off function is now hidden in the quick settings—you can also swipe down with two fingers to bring up the background programs and manually turn it off. Remember to regularly clean the screen with a microfiber cloth, as too many fingerprints can lead to accidental touches.
