2023 Mercedes-Benz GLS580 Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz GLS580? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
