  • In this video I am going to show you how to use the main features of this Mercedes-Benz GLA. This video is relevant for anyone that has purchased a GLA model 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020
    This video is perfect for anyone who has just bought this type of GLA or if you are thinking of buying one.
    You might also find this summary sheet I have made which summarises all of the main features and options available on most GLA models. Please bare in mind that the summary sheet is for majority of GLA models but some models may vary, such as Urban Edition and this model did have different wheels and also the packages were not available but came with reverse camera but no parking sensors. Also after 2017 the GLA came with LED headlights See link below 👇

      Thanks for the comment. The panoramic sunroof is fantastic. My top tip with the sunroof is to close the blind when you leave the car on a sunny/hot day. Then when you get back to the car it shouldn’t be as hot in the car.

    I've had the GLA 200 Urban (2014 with automatic) for 10 days now and am starting to get used to it. It's supposed to be an SUV, but of course it's different from my spacious Honda CR-V, but it's big enough for me as a single person. I just need to practice getting in and out without getting hurt 😂. But it drives really well, so relaxing and has great roadholding and is relatively quiet up to 120 km/h. I hope it lasts a long time.

What can I expect soon other than a battery change and wiper blade change? Both cabin and air filters have been recently replaced. I plan on keeping it a long time to be honest, I love the GLA! I can tow my motorcycle or 2 around with excellent gas milage. I am on my second tire set, (ran over some nails and replaced them all) I run them at 35psi.

      My wife has a 2017 GLA 220d 4Matic Sport Premium and she loves her car. The car has done around 50,000 miles now and has not skipped a beat. We service the car with our local Mercedes dealer.
      Once a year i do a winter health check (which if you ask your local dealer, they will do for free) and in the summer the car has its service.
      We have had no issues with the stop start yet but we do drive the car the most and is used daily. Once a week or at the very least once a month we take it on a long journey which helps with the battery and also the diesel particulate filter gets to regenerate.

    • @DrSaahb
      @DrSaahb  Před rokem +1

      Hi Adrian. If you are not worried about using the start stop function then I would leave replacing your battery for your car.
      When it finds it difficult to start or you get a message appear on the instrument cluster, then I would change the battery.

I usually drive it 3-4 times a week, not on long journys, tho...Last time I took it on a long trip the start stop function started working again... for sure I'll be looking into a new battery very soon, tho. Awesome spec, I imagine how great the range of that diesel engine is! My local dealer suggests I change the oil every 6 months but to be honest I do it once a year (Less than 6k miles) I've looked and the oil still has some color which is nice to see.
