What is DYNAMIC SELECT? | Petrol & Diesel

Thank you for spending your time to educate us , especially, in the case of new owners of Mec Benz. I have a question to ask and that is, I used to feel lighter on the steering wheels when picked up my car but now I have changed the system so much that I lost track of having a lighter steering wheel. Could you please advice how can I go back to that mode. Thank you

Great info! I like mixing it up. Moving to eco mode more.

Great video Nick

Thanks Nick. Your videos are very informative and clear. I have learnt to use my Mercedes’ vehicles more efficiently with your tips.

can you help me , about install a tow bar on this w177 ,don't find a movie .

Hi Nick. I have a problem with c43 2017 sound system. It has a delay on it when using, takes ages for it to do anything. Sometimes when playing my music it cuts out. Would you know if hard reset would sort this out?

I like how you hid the speed limit haha
Never film yourself breaking the law lol

Thank you so very much for this video, you are a life-saver.

I was never aware of these modes until my Mercedes-Benz AMG returned from the Mercedes-Benz main dealer after some servicing, with a mysterious “S+” on the dashboard, that I’d never seen before.

The Owners Manual and internet were never able to explain this, but your video was able to explain all the points.

Question: It appears that I have always been running the Mercedes-Benz on “Comfort” mode. Which mode which is best for the overall health of the car, and will the “S+” mode cause any long-term stress or damage on the car?

Thank you for your help. 😊

Is there anyway to have the car start up in individual mode?

Hate an dangerous eco

Hi Nick, I just got a C300dh. Three things I noticed. 1. It’s not quiet. 2. It only starts on battery & drives for about 10 meters and diesel kicks in. 3. On a full tank with occasional around city drives, it’s already on half tank after 10 days. Are these normal?

In the older Mercedes one should be off throttle while changing the driving mode. Is this still necessary in the newer models? TIA

Hi..Nick.. What happens in eco mode, if I do kick down to over take other cars quickly. Does it work like in Sport mode? Or do I have to change to Sport mode before I do kick down.

how to improve the mileage of e 200

glide mode surely WASTES fuel.....unless I am mistaken, in normal modes when you lift off the throttle it cuts all fuel into the engine until it drops to low revs, in glide mode it keeps the engine running (with fuel) at idle speed

I enjoy your videos very much Nick,!. You speak so clearly, Thankyou for sharing

Thanks for the video Nick, much easier than trying to find stuff in the owner’s manual. Can I have your job please? I would really like to spend my day jumping in and out of brand new Mercedes and fiddling with all the gadgets.

Hi Nick,

some little additions to the ECO Gliding that I have noticed. Maybe you can confirm?

One you covered it in general by stating “… if no traffic… “ and in fact, the Gliding will only work when driving manually and if no vehicle is in a previously selected ‘spacing’ from the Distronic system.

Further, if exiting from a speed controlled part of your drive with the cancel switch on the steering wheel, the gliding mode will not come automatically even if in ECO. You would need to tap momentarily on the gas pedal to reactivate gliding.

On another note… when switching between ECO, COMFORT, SPORT etc, does the power output of the engine really change, or is it more the way the power is delivered that make us feel the engine has more or less HP?? (besides shifting and suspension characteristics)
A certain rpm gives a certain power or?
I seem to recall that with ECO selected, the car still has full power available for top speed, just need to push pedal somewhat further.

Looking forward to next weeks episodes of these great videos.

As non-native speaker, my apologies if I have misunderstood something.

Cheers,
Tom

Is there a way to change the default mode from comfort to eco or sport?

I have a c200, 2018 model in sri lanka. How do I use voice control for navigation

It is very useful

Is there no way to change the "default" dynamic selection to something other than Comfort, so that I dont have to change it every time I start the car?

Thanks for the great video. Do the Sport and Sport plus modes lower your car?

I have a 2019 gle TwinTurbo how do I check the oil there’s no dipstick how to check the oil from the gauge cluster

Can you change the Dynamics whilst travelling

One thing missed here that might be important to know. Traction control is partly disabled in sport plus so be careful when you put the power down.

Thanks once again Nick, I wasn’t aware of the glide mode in eco.
Thanks to you I’m learning all the time. Thank you for your time Nick

I have a w213 my 2020 and she's got agility control suspension with selective dampers. When I change driving modes, I can see engine, steering and esp changes displayed on infotainment screen but not the suspension as in airmatic. So can I say my car would not firm up suspension upon switching to sports mode or sport+? Thank you.

What about factors like ABS (or whatever it's called nowadays) - are they turned off in Sport or Sport+?

This video was very helpful as a new Mercedes driver . Thanks!

Hey Nick. How do I lift the windscreen wipers in order to wash the windscreen? The rear wiper is also difficult to move. Help please

Hi Nick!
Been looking at your videos and i just received my new mercedes, a 2021 A-class AMG mannual transmission . I noticed i have dynamic select as an option, with comfort and sport but i can't for the life of me find what this means to me with manual transmission. What exactly mechanically is happening when i switch between the two. Any chance you could direct me in the right direction?

Great video! Planing to buy a new cla, any advice about chosing petrol or diesel? I find that there is difference for example the engine sound and I personaly perfer diesel version, but the tax on a diesel vehicle is like crazy here in Sweden...

I have my apple car play deactivate so how could i activated it could you help me i am from egypt

Another informative video. I had no idea about the glide mode. Sport mode makes such a difference in my E Class. I've never used Sport+ as I thought it might turn off traction control. Now I know it doesn't.

Lets talk about the shit 7 gearbox in a Mercedes A 180 d.
Its realy not smooth!
For me never a mercedes anymore untill this problem is solved?

Hi Nick, Another great video. Is there a way of changing the default from Comfort to Sport automatically? So that every time I start my car it's already in Sport mode?

I've got an A class hatchback AMG line executive. Would I be able to get the instrument cluster to show the Rev counter as well?

Hi Nick, is there any way to select a setting (eg ECO ) and not have it reset to Comfort when you start your car?

Very usefull. Nice work (as usual).
I thought ESP would be off in Sport+ but as I understand from your video it is not.

Do a review on the New CLA 45

Nick I have a 4matic coupe how does it work with these

Until how many kilometres can you drive your A35 AMG fast and when does the engine up im asking like when can you fully drive it fast

Following a recent MBUX software update What 3 Words navigation does not work. Has it been removed as a function?

Looking forward to finding out the differences for the plug in as I’ve got a c350e

Thank you for this video Nick. When I bought my GLC300 two years ago, the manual was rather vague on this subject. Your expansion on it is extremely helpful. Cheers!

Waiting for the Hybrid one now. The glide was new for me.

Gr8! video once again. Tnx for explaining the ‘Glide’ mode. There’s always something to learn on your channel. Ever grateful Nick.🇲🇹👍🇬🇧P.S. One question. Can it be programmed to remember to stay on Eco automatically or do I have to change from C every trip? Joseph

Can you supply a link to how this relates to the c300e? Thanks
