What is the correct way to start a Mercedes first thing in the morning? It does not have a problem and the weather is nice

Asked by A1mrbill Mar 13, 2018 at 08:46 AM about the 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 430

Question type: General

Do I push the gas pedal first or just turn the key on.
Do not need to know what to do if problems or
what to do after it starts. This is a simple question.

Newer cars do not require you to press the gas pedal first, everything is activated by the computer the moment you turn the key on the ignition switch. Older cars, up the 1970's require the driver to step on the gas pedal to engage the fast idle throttle when cold. I know, I have a 2018 Mercedes E 300 and a 1957 Ford Fairlane.

as Guru ybtc8 says, since the end of "carburetters" proper fuel injection systems know all about the weather, so they are started with out any pedal pushing or "setting the choke" which doesn't exist as a sport anymore. The Brain knows all...
