The process starts from taking care of the oil and filters. One needs to be aware of the fact that with time motor oil loses its lubricant quality. After a certain period of time, it also collects dirt particles, which in turn causes a threat to the engine. Therefore it is very important to keep a check on the oil and filters. Make sure that you change the oil along with the oil filter on a scheduled basis. Do not forget to keep a track of the Fuel and air filters as they play a vital role in keeping the fuel, injectors and combustion parts clean.

Tires are one of the components that play a significant role in delivering a reliable performance.
To enjoy a comfortable and safe ride one has to check the inflation pressure of the tires almost every week. To keep the tires in a stable condition it demands the regular attention of the user. A/C when left unused for some time leads to the shrinking of hoses, which further results in the loss of refrigerant. Therefore to get an effective working of the A/C one should run it for at least 10 minutes per week, no matter what the season is. Belts, Hoses and Sensors are responsible for the smooth working of a Mercedes. These require a periodic check as well as replacement depending upon the car manual.

Mercedes Benz and Bosch had developed the Splitview technology mutually. The technology enables the dual usage of the center-mounted LCD screen that is installed in the S-Class. It lets both the driver and the front seat passenger to watch two different things of their choice at the same time. While the driver can access the navigation system to find the way, on the same screen the passenger can side-by-side watch a DVD too.

Initially, the Splitview technology of the Mercedes Benz was set to be launched in the market a couple of months back but finally the launch got delayed. The delay is attributed to the legal issues over the technology installation. The laws actually bar the driver to watch DVDs or movies while driving. They are not completely aware of the purpose and usage of the dual-view technology and that is why they are not appreciating it much. This is the inhibition feared by the legal system and the German automobile makers.

Ian Callum, who is the design head of Jaguar, said in August that the Splitview technology is “technically illegal.” whereas the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration has given a clean chit to this technology.

Though Mercedes is not the first automaker to install this technology, yet the S-Class model would be the first from Mercedes featuring this cutting-edge technology. Jaguar had been ahead of them in using it in its earlier manufactured models like the XJ. It was introduced in Jaguar as an optional upgrade system function.

In various other parts of the world, the British automaker Jaguar has its own Jaguar XJ model that equips the same Splitview technology in the cars. Though, they haven’t announced till date whether the model that they are going to launch in the US will feature the same technology or not.

There is also an advantage over its previous counterpart namely that it produces over 90% of the power generated by the V8 model but it consumes almost 50% less fuel than the ML 550 does. The estimate from EPA is 24 miles per gallon on the highway and 21 miles per gallon in the city. The Atkinson cycle is used to power the engine and it generates 275 horsepower by itself.

The pricing will be released when it goes on sale. Since, Mercedes has a better reputation; it is definitely going to be more expensive than the mass-market GMC Yukon Twins/Chevy Tahoe’s. Those who favor eight-speed automatic transmissions are lucky because a “Shift” mode has been developed to simulate the behavior of this type of engine. But, there is a slight disadvantage as this imposes a three percent penalty on the fuel economy according to reports from a hybrid engineer at Mercedes.

The release of two hybrid models is a calculated move to ensure that Mercedes doesn’t suffer when the new gas regulations come into effect as that might cause their traditional models to suffer a decline in demand. This new venture for Mercedes and co. should be a fascinating one to see as to how they fare in competition against the conventional oil guzzlers. Whether wealthy customers of Mercedes see a benefit in buying cars with a lesser consumption of mileage depend a lot upon the price of the new Mercedes.

Be prepared for an exciting year of competition in the year 2010.The launch of the first ML450 hybrid is round the corner and it is likely to beat the BMW X6 Active hybrids in getting to the market first.
