In this video, you will see some things to know about the Mercedes E-Class W211 that not everyone may be aware of. If you look at your car key, you will notice that there is another key inside. This is the security key, which is used to unlock the vehicle in case of emergency, but it also locks the glove compartment, and you can give it to the valet.

It is also used to open the trunk lock in case the remote is dead. You can even enter through the trunk itself.

The sun visor can not only be turned to the side of the window, but it can also be extended significantly. In the compartment located to the right of the radio, you can press from underneath to release the papers and take them out easily.

Regarding vehicles with automatic transmission, you do not need to turn the key all the way to the right to start: a light tap will start the vehicle. It may seem unnecessary, but the YouTuber wants to remind you that a light pressure is enough to activate the windshield wipers, and a firmer press is needed for the sprayer.
