Life with CLA 250 Shooting Brake Sport 4matic

You can find the fuse box in front of the navigator seat. You turn over the black floor carpet and you can find the box. To get the power, I use the fuse tap [google] . Where did it put into? No. 75 (trailer) for Battery outlet. (Left yellow cable) No. 71 (socket for trunk) for accessory outlet. (Right yellow cable) Mine is RHD. So if yours is LHD, please see the pic upside-down. The ground line should be connected to the bolts. Below is Japanese. CLAで電源をどこからとるか？ですが、次のようにしてみました。 場所：助手席の奥（？）にあるヒューズボックス 番号：75番　ヒッチトレーラ用　常時電源(12V来てました) 番号：71番　トランク12V用　アクセサリー電源 電源の取り方はヒューズ電源の20Aを使用[ amazon ]しました。 とりあえずはドラレコ用です。他にも延長して色々使えそうですね。 ところで、イルミネーション電源とかは？？そもそもそういう概念がないか。

FYI CLA 250 with Mercedes genuine roof box whose capacity is 450L. Side view. Front view. Rear view. Below is Japanese. CLA 250 4maticにメルセデス純正のルーフボックス(450L)をつけた時の様子です。ベースも純正です。メルセデスの場合、純正以外だとThule一択っぽい(ThuleのベースにTERZOのキャリアとかもいけるようですが)ですね。 金額はほとんど差がないので結局純正で揃えました。 170cmのスキーが入ることが前提だと、Thuleの一番大きいのとか欲しくなりますが、リアハッチが開かないかもしれません。 個人的には純正だとベースが高いので、Thuleの低めのベースに純正ルーフボックスがいいかと思ってます。

Some drivers are wondering the car is really able to stop behind the stopped car in front of you by using the distronic plus. I was wondering too. I just tried and it was successful. But I think we do not leave your foot from the brake pedal even though the system in on.

My CLA is SB. SB's basic carrier rail's price is, for example, 389.91 EUR. Its part number is  A1178900193. https://www.online-teile.com/mercedes-ersatzteile/A1178900193_Basic-Carrier-Rail.html?language=en But CLA coupe's one is 292.44 EUR. Its part number is  A1178900093. https://www.online-teile.com/mercedes-ersatzteile/A1178900093_Basic-Carrier-Rail.html Um... WHat's the difference between them????

New record (20) is added. Not so good consumption in these days, because I used Sport mode so much. Distance(km) Amount(L) Consumption(km/L) Total consumption(km/L) 16 552.6 55.21 10.0 10.88 17 603.5 46.8 12.90 11.01 18 472.8 42.9 11.02 11.01 19 490.9 53.2 9.23 10.89 20 487.6 50.89 9.58 10.82

 Cat was on my CLA's hood. Noooo.....

New 3 records are added. Umm, total consumption is about 11.01km/L. Driving on the highway, I use E mode on the smooth road or S mode on the winding road. Driving on the city road, I use C mode.

I do not know the reason why, but the key didn't recognized, even though the engine is on. Sorry, the message is shown in Japanese. I restarted the engine, and this alarm was gone out.

I got 2 troubles for climate control. Both are resulted from motors trouble. 1) I heard a small noise from the left of stealing. I need to notice my car is RHD. Here is the sensor to measure the temperature in the car. This sound came from the motor inside the mesh. The sensor to measure temperature inside a car was replaced. 2) Even though I set the temperature at "HI", I got cool wind from the climate control. However, I recognized that the wind at the navigator seat is so hot that I understood that there were some troubles at the flap control. The motor to control the flaps was initialized, and I was free from the troubles.

So much tired to upload data with images. I'm lazy now... Distance(km) Amount(L) Consumption(km/L) Total consumption(km/L) 7 530.3 50.37 10.52 11.05 8 463.8 46.37 10.00 10.93 9 279.5 27.95 10.00 10.86 10 694.8 51.58 13.47 11.15 11 263.5 27.15 9.71 11.07 12 209.8 17.24 12.17 11.11 13 512.0 45.06 11.36 11.13 14 477.1 51.23 9.31 10.97 15 556.8 52.2 10.67 10.95 Mostly 11km/L. It is better than SUBARU(GDBC STi).

GPS Unit was broken. So the navigation indicated quite different where I was... OMG. GPS unit was replaced without fee because of Mercedes care. That's good. But I hope troubles will be revealed during next about 2 years... After the care was expired, I need to pay so much fee for the car... The loaner was smart. This was also nice. Rear engine was so nice to turn. It was fun to drive.

iPad mini is mounted on console by using  MOUNTEK . Oh... I can't see any switches for Audio and others... Need to exam better position. There found a problem for mounting. The volume dial was contacted to the mountek. So the dial doesn't work. Maybe, this problem is common to other Mercedes cars. I cut off the plate a little. Can you recognize the place where I cut? By cutting a little, the dial works so well, even though it is behind the iPad. Appearance of mountek and CD slot.

What a cool wheel it is!!! http://www.mercedescla.org/forum/8-cla-purchasing/172-closeup-pictures-cla-wheel-choices-amg-wheels-3.html#post43623 But, I'm not sure where I can get it.

Many guys would like to know how to access to the dealer menu which is not able to access without knowing the hidden command. I recognize that there are two hidden menus. One is the dealer menu , the other is the engineering menu , someone said it the engineering mode. This entry writes the dealer menu. The access command to the engineering menu is not still revealed about 2016 version of CLA250, I think. Command: Hang-on (red one) - 7 - 9 - #(hash tag) You push the command about 10 seconds. Then you can access to the dealer menu. However the key's alignment is localized. Mostly it is similar, but it depends on the country. Do not worry, you push the keys according to the meaning, not according to the position shown in the video. Here is YouTube video. You can easily understand how to access the menu. Next, I'm gonna show you the pictures of dealer menu. I will summerize the menu.
