So after nearly one month after my purchase of my Pulse, to this day it gets me surprised with his options.I was thinking that everyone writes the things they discovered in their car.I think there is not such a topic anywhere so why not.It would make a life easier for most of us hehe
I.e. The other day it was raining and I turned on the wipers (naturally duhh) but when I put the car in reverse back wiper automatically turned on.I know it's not cold fusion science ,but it's nice to have that feature without any mods 😉
-
I sort of understand/get what you mean...
The automatic wipe of the rear window when you select reverse is
about the only thing that was standard fitment across the
entire ForFour range of models. It is not an option or a mod.
There was a massive list of parts/bits/items available as options that
were either fitted at the factory, or a dealer fit option, or available to
buy and fit later. The higher specification of the model you ordered
(Pure, Pulse, Passion, or Brabus) the less options that were available
or became available as they were standard fit for that particular model.
So each ForFour can and will be a bit different to another.

And what about coming/leaving home option? Mine has that as well.Two press on key button for coming and unlocking and 1 press for leaving/locking
-
I believe this is also standard for the car though I must admit, I've not seen the case where 1 press for locking the car switches on the lights. Certainly have seen it for a quick double press.
-
not talking about options - just nice things the car does that maybe we take for granted but are actually nice little features :)
like plastic panels..... never dent and look GORGEOUS even 10yrs on when polished

Heh, not on the new W453 ForFour... the doors are metal I believe. No more panel swapping like the 454 can.

meh ;D

If you lock the car after you've had the lights on*, it will switch on the lights for 10seconds or so. That's the coming home feature.
If you have the feature coded in, DRL is activated/deactivated by pulling on the light stalk (essentially flashing all the lights) while pressing lock/unlock on the key fob.
Likewise for the drivelock, you press LOCK on the dashboard and on the key fob and after reaching ~10mph the doors lock automatically.
-
I have tried that option for DRL's but it didn't get the thing to work!? So you basically you pull the light lever to you all the way and push the button on key knob? Is it at the same time or ?
-
you may have to take it to mercedes for them to activate the daytime running feature, just keep this in mind that you dip beam and rear lights will be on all the time like volvos.
-
What does dipped beam mean? Is that short light or like in VW inner positon lights that than go to fill bright light?
-
Dipped is the low beam, or the short beam, the one you have on when there's incoming traffic. Hi beam is the full beam, main driving lights.
Pull and while the lights are all on press lock. It should BEEP to let you know it worked. If it doesn't then the feature is not coded in, and it needs to go to merceds. After coding, you can activate it/deactivate it at any time as described.
-
Thank you guys,will try once more.😉 Now let's continue with the new stuff.o h one more thing,i can't activate driver window to bee automated at closing and opening. What to do?
-
Auto windows are only a feature on the cars that had the comfort pack, which includes 4 electric windows, electric mirrors and central arm-rest.
-
Too bad 😞 well it can't have everything

mine doesn't do this - i have to do the double press but then i have auto lights
JJ
-
For me it's double press for coming home and one press on locking for leaving.The only thing is that sometimes leaving function doesn't work and I still didn't resolve why is that.
-
I'm confused reading the last post....
A 'lost in translation' language barrier thing...
On leaving the car:
1 press on the 'lock' button just locks the car.
2 presses on the 'lock' button turns on the 'coming home' lights
as well as locking the car if I remember correctly..
(been a long time since I have used that).
On going to the car:
1 press on the 'unlock' button unlocks the car
2 presses on the 'unlock' button unlocks the car and turns the lights on.
-
For the "coming home" function you got it right.Btw "coming home" is called because you approach the vehicle.For the "leaving home" function is when you actually leave the car and lock it.My only doubt was why the "leaving" function sometime didn't work,but one of you clarified that the lights on leaving/locking the car only work when you previously had your lights turned on. :)
