Fig. 42: Turbocharging Function Diagram

For exhaust-gas turbocharging the flow kinetic energy of the exhaust gases coming out of each cylinder bank is
used to drive the turbocharger (110a, 110b). The turbochargers take in clean air downstream of the air filters.
The compressed air (E) is cooled in the charge air cooler (5/1, 5/2).

Downstream of the charge air coolers, the combined charge air (E) from the right and left turbochargers flows
to the intake manifold (12) via the throttle valve actuator (M16/6).

There is a coolant cooled turbocharger (biturbo) installed in every cylinder bank. An optimal response
characteristic and a resulting high boost pressure are achieved even at low RPM speeds by installing the
turbochargers immediately on the exhaust manifolds. Short exhaust gas paths guarantee fast warm up and thus a
high efficiency of the three way catalytic converters.

The turbochargers start to produce boost pressure at approx. 1500 RPM. The maximum boost pressure is
reached at approx. 2000 RPM. Injection quantity and ignition timing are controlled by the ME-SFI [ME] control
unit (N3/10) as needed for the present load condition.

The boost pressure is measured through the signal of the pressure sensor upstream of the throttle valve actuator
(B28/6), the load is measured through the signal of the pressure sensor downstream of the throttle valve actuator
(B28/7).

Boost pressure control of both turbochargers is performed by means of the boost pressure control pressure
transducer (Y31/5) and the pressure regulator valves (wastgate valves) operated by the vacuum cells in the
turbine housings.

Additionally, fast control operations and load adjustments below the basic charge pressure are performed via the
throttle valve actuator.
The maximum boost pressure at sea level is:

 For engine 275.950/951/953/954 approx. 0.9 bar


 For engine 285.950 about 1.3 bar
 For engine 275.980/981/982, 285.980 (AMG) about 1.5 bar.

The cooled air downstream of the charge air coolers has a higher density. Through this, the cylinder charge and
hence the engine output are increased. Furthermore the tendency to knock is reduced. The maximum boost
pressure is released only when the charge air temperature is less than 70°C. The charge air temperature sensor
(B17/8) is mounted at the intake manifold.

If the charge air temperature becomes too high, the reason for this could be air bubbles in the low temperature
cooling circuit.

During a load change, e.g. when changing into deceleration mode, a deceleration air valve opens at each
compressor housing.

Through this the boost pressure is quickly reduced and charger noises are prevented.

A pressure sensor downstream of air filter for the left or right cylinder bank (B28/4, B28/5) is located in the air
filter housing after every air filter in order to recognize the pressure drop over the air filter.

In order to limit the maximum charger RPM the pressure conditions downstream and upstream of the
turbocharger is calculated (based on pressure values for the pressure sensor downstream of air filter and
pressure sensor upstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/6)) and regulated dependent on the performance map
by the boost pressure control.

In higher altitudes the maximum boost pressure is limited.

Task

The switchover valve applies vacuum to variable intake manifold vacuum unit to intake manifold switchover
(long intake routes) or ventilates it again (short intake routes).

Design

The switchover valve is an electromagnetic switchover valve which is cast in a plastic housing.

The coil resistance about 30 ohms at 20°C.

Function
Fig. 44: Switchover Valve Function Diagram
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The switchover valve is actuated by the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) from the ground side via its own output
stage. The voltage supply takes place from "circuit 87 M2e".

In an activate condition a valve plate is pulled by solenoids and a rubber seal closes the connection (3). The
connection between the connection (2) and connection (1) is released in this way and the vacuum from the
vacuum reservoir is built up to the vacuum unit.

In the deenergized state the link again exists between connection 2 and 3 through which Connection 1 is
supplied with air again.

Task

Switching between long and short intake routes can occur with the variable intake manifold. The vibration
response of the intake air for different operating conditions is used in a specific way to achieve internal
charging.

The variable intake pipe lengths also allows better distribution of the mixture which leads to better combustion
and thus to a higher engine torque.

External structure

Internal structure

Fig. 49: Identifying Throttle Valves, Variable Flaps And Air Guide Duct
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The variable intake manifold consists of a number of magnesium pressure castings. When fitted together, they
produce the individual intake manifolds and the air collecting volume. The parts are sealed off to each other by
plastic.

The variable intake manifold must not be disassembled down to the housing bottom section and the throttle
valve actuator.

Function

Short intake routes (Switch flaps opened)


Fig. 50: Variable Intake Manifold Routes Diagram (Switch Flaps Opened)
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Short intake routes improve the engine torque at low rotational speeds and low loads. Short intake routes also
achievement of high motor speeds.

The variable intake manifold switchover valve is de-energized and the aneroid capsule is ventilated. The switch
flaps are or will be opened through the spring force of the vacuum unit via the gearshift linkage and releases the
short intake routes.

The switch flap shafts of the right and left cylinder head are connected at the rear in the variable intake manifold
via a further gearshift linkage.

Long intake routes (Switch flaps closed)


Fig. 51: Variable Intake Manifold Routes Diagram (Switch Flaps Closed)
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Long intake routes improve the engine torque at low rotational speeds and high loads.

The variable intake manifold switchover valve is actuated at the ground end from the ME-SFI [ME] control unit
(N3/10) and switches off the vacuum from the vacuum reservoir through to the vacuum unit. The aneroid
capsule actuates the gearshift linkage of the switch flap shafts and the switch flaps close the short intake routes.

Location

The intake manifold is located between the cylinder banks.

Task

Optimizes engine torque curve by means of two different intake manifold lengths

Improves flow via swing-out tumble flaps in the intake port.

Design

The intake manifold is assembled out of several magnesium pressure castings. During assembly, the individual
intake manifolds for each cylinder and the air manifold collecting sections are in the center. The intake manifold
cannot be disassembled. A total of four shafts are stored in the intake manifold.

The vacuum pressure for the aneroid capsules is supplied by a vacuum reservoir in the intake manifold when the
switchover valves are actuated. The reservoir volume is designed for several operations without renewed
evacuation.

Intake manifold switchover, function

The individual intake manifolds each approx. 800 mm long, are arranged in a spiral shape around the air
collecting volume. Each single intake manifold has a further opening to the air collecting volume somewhere in
the middle. These can be opened or closed by rotating longitudinal switch flap shafts. The switch flaps of a
cylinder bank are interconnected by a shaft and each of the flap is actuated by an aneroid capsule in case of
engine 272 BOTH aneroid capsules for the intake manifold switchover are connected to the variable intake
manifold switchover valve via hose pipes. Engine 273 has only one aneroid capsule. The flap shafts are
connected in the intake manifold. The switch flaps open by spring force without actuation and enable the short
suction way.

Cut at intake manifold at cylinder level, short intake route

Fig. 55: Identifying Intake Air Short Intake Route


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

At higher speeds (from approx. 3500/min) the intake manifold switchover aneroid capsules are ventilated and
the switch flaps opened by the spring force. The intake air takes the short intake route.

Cut at intake manifold at cylinder level, long intake route

At lower speed (up to approx. 3500/min) the intake manifold aneroid capsules are pressurized with vacuum
pressure and the longitudinal switch flaps closed. The intake air takes the long intake route. The result is
improved cylinder charge and thus an increase in torque.

Tumble flap switchover function

At partial load, tumble flaps can be fully swung out in each cylinder intake port in the intake manifold. This
closes the intake manifold by around 50 %.

The flow speed of the intake air is increased and allows for improved distribution of the fuel/air mixture in the
combustion chamber. The tumble flaps are actuated via an aneroid capsule and linkage.

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the boost pressure control pressure transducer for the boost pressure
control by means of pulse width modulation with a duty cycle of 5 to 95% and with a frequency of 30 Hz.
According to the duty cycle, the boost pressure operates fully or partially in the vacuum cells of the
turbocharger.

The boost pressure control valves (wastegate valves) are actuated via vacuum cells and control rods. For
limitation of the boost pressure, the boost pressure control valves open and part of the exhaust is guided past the
turbine wheel.

The boost pressure is calculated based on the pressure conditions downstream and upstream of the
turbochargers (based on the pressure values of the pressure sensor downstream of air filter and pressure sensor
upstream of throttle valve actuator).

The boost pressure control is performed in line with the performance map.

Identification of the load (dependent on throttle valve angle) is performed through the signal of the pressure
sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator.

Without actuation, the entire boost pressure in the vacuum cell is used. The boost pressure control valve opens
at approx. 300 mbar boost pressure (mechanical basic boost pressure). The boost pressure does not increase
further and power shortage is the consequence.

The vacuum cell is vented to the atmosphere so that no boost pressure can act anymore in the vacuum cell. In
unpressurized condition, a spring holds the boost pressure control valve closed in the vacuum cell. The whole
exhaust gas drives the turbine wheel and the maximum boost pressure is generated.

If the hose lines between the vacuum cells, pressure transducer and charge air cooler on the right cylinder
bank are leaky the fault "Boost pressure too high" is stored in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.
The input parameters for the boost pressure control are:

 Pressure values of pressure sensor downstream of air filter


 Pressure values from pressure sensor upstream of throttle valve actuator
 Charge air temperature, signal from charge air temperature sensor
 Load recognition from pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator
 Ambient pressure (altitude correction), signal from pressure sensor in ME-SFI [ME] control unit
 Engine speed
 Coolant temperature
 Engaged drive mode
 Engine oil temperature
 Pressure drop in air filter, detection by pressure sensor downstream of air filter
 Exhaust gas temperature (from model calculation/performance map)
 Knock control active (maximum boost pressure only possible with RON 98)
 Catalytic converter damaging misfire recognized/not recognized

The maximum boost pressure is only released via the signal from the charge air temperature sensor, if the
charge air temperature is less than < 70°C.

If the charge air temperature becomes too high, the reason for this could be air bubbles in the low
temperature cooling circuit.

In order to protect the exhaust gas turbochargers from overspeed when in altitude mode and in case of soiled air
filters, the maximum boost pressure is limited pressure conditions upstream/downstream of the turbochargers.

Further to the boost pressure control it is possible under certain conditions (e.g. for an excessively high boost
pressure due to leaky lines to the vacuum cell) for load limiting to take place through closing of the throttle
valve.

The function of the boost pressure control can only be evaluated if the message "Boost pressure control
adapted" is read out using the DAS. After replacing the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or a turbocharger is a long
drive under certain operating conditions is required to perform the adaptation.

 Engine running

Boost pressure control - general

Cylinder filling efficiency is improved by forced induction. This raises the engine torque and engine power.

One turbocharger is installed for each cylinder bank (Biturbo). An optimal response characteristic and a
resulting high boost pressure are achieved even at low RPM speeds by installing the turbochargers immediately
on the exhaust manifolds.

With forced induction, the flow energy of the exhaust gases is used to drive the turbocharger.

The turbochargers draw fresh air through the air filters into the compressor inlets, from where it passes through
the compressor outlets to the charge air pipes upstream of the charge air coolers. Due to the high rotational
speed of the compressor impellers and the resulting high volume flow rate, the intake air becomes compressed
in the charge air pipes.

As the charge air is compressed, it heats up, and flows through the charge air pipes to the charge air coolers.
These cool the charge air down and guide it through the Y-connection pipe and the throttle valve actuator
(M16/6) to the intake manifold.

The turbochargers start to produce boost pressure at approx. 1500 RPM. The maximum boost pressure is
reached at approx. 2000 RPM.

The maximum boost pressure is about 0.9 on engine 275.953 and about 1.5 bar on engine 275.982 (AMG).

For the boost pressure control, the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) reads the following sensors and signals:

 Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)


 Charge air temperature sensor (B17/8)
 Pressure sensor downstream of air filter, LH and RH cylinder bank (B28/4, B28/5), intake air pressure
 Pressure sensor upstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/6), boost pressure
 Pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator (B28/7), engine load
 Accelerator pedal sensor (B37), load request by driver
 Oil sensor (oil level, temperature and grade) (B40), engine oil temperature
 Crankshaft position sensor (L5), motor speed
 ETC control unit (N15/3), gear range over the drive train CAN (CAN C)
 Atmospheric air pressure sensor in the ME-SFI control unit, altitude adaptation (maximum boost pressure
is limited at high altitudes)
 Exhaust gas temperature (from model calculation/performance map)
 Fuel grade (maximum boost pressure only for RON 98 (R esearch - O ctane N umber))

The boost pressure control also depends on the safety functions of the engine control (for example, knock
control and overheating/knock protection).

Boost pressure control function sequence

The boost pressure is controlled electropneumatically by the boost pressure control pressure transducer (Y31/5),
which is actuated by the ME-SFI control unit.
Depending on the performance map and load, the ME-SFI control unit actuates the pressure transducer with a
PWM (pulse width modulated) signal with a duty cycle of 5 to 95 %. Depending on the duty cycle, the boost
pressure from the charge air cooler of the RH cylinder bank acts totally or partially on the vacuum cells (boost
pressure control flaps). Through a linkage, these open the boost pressure control flaps, which close off the
bypasses. The boost pressure control flaps thus allow the exhaust flow to bypass the turbine wheels, and in this
way control the boost pressure and limit the turbine speed.

To monitor the current boost pressure, the pressure sensor upstream of the throttle valve actuator sends the
corresponding voltage signal to the ME-SFI control unit.

Die pressure sensors downstream of the air filter of the LH and RH cylinder banks, which are located in the
intake lines upstream of the turbocharger, are used by the ME-SFI control unit to monitor the charging process
(pressure drop through the air filter).

The charge air temperature is detected in the intake manifold by the charge air temperature sensor and sent to
the ME-SFI control unit as a voltage signal. The maximum boost pressure is enabled only at charge air
temperatures less than 70°C.

Engine load is detected (according to the throttle valve angle) using the voltage signal from the pressure sensor
downstream of the throttle valve actuator.

Diagnosis

The boost pressure control function can only be assessed when the "boost pressure control adapted" message is
displayed with the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS). If the ME-SFI control unit or one of the turbochargers
is replaced, a longer driving distance is required in certain operating conditions, in order to allow the ME-SFI
control unit to perform the adaptation.

Diagnosis

If the hose lines are leaky between the vacuum cells, boost pressure control pressure transducer and charge air
cooler of the RH cylinder bank, a "boost pressure too high" fault is stored in the ME-SFI control unit.

Fast load requests below the basic boost pressure are controlled by the throttle valve actuator.

Boost pressure control shown with a duty cycle of (t i ) <5 %

Without actuation, the entire boost pressure in the vacuum cell is used. The vacuum cell opens boost pressure
control flap at about 300 mbar boost pressure (mechanical basic boost pressure). The boost pressure no longer
rises, and a condition restriction results.

The vacuum cell is ventilated to atmospheric pressure, so that no boost pressure is then acting on the vacuum
cell. In the unpressurized state, the spring in the vacuum cell holds the boost pressure control flap closed. All of
the exhaust gas drives the turbine wheel, thus generating the maximum boost pressure.

Function

If the engine control unit identifies the transition from load to deceleration operation, the switchover valve
deceleration switchover (Y101) is actuated. Through this both deceleration air valves at the turbochargers are
discharged with vacuum from the vacuum tank (22). The deceleration air valves open a bypass around the
individual compressor turbine wheel, through which the boost pressure is immediately removed. Charger noises
(brief howling) during transition into the deceleration mode cannot result from pressure points in the charger.

The turbochargers rotate a little, by means of the inertia of masses of shaft, the compressor and the turbine
wheel after start of deceleration and create against the closed throttle valve briefly further boost pressure. This
pressure is quickly released through the deceleration air valves.

Without actuation at the switchover valve deceleration switchover the diaphragm chambers of the deceleration
air valves are connected with the intake manifold. The deceleration air valves close in load operation through
the boost pressure and the spring load. If a deceleration air valve does not close, less boost pressure is released.
In the vacuum tank vacuum is gathered in the suction operation of the engine and in the deceleration. The check
valve opens only at vacuum.

Acceleration air function requirements - general

 Circuit 87M ON (engine control ON)


 Engine running

Deceleration air - general

At the start of deceleration, the turbochargers continue to turn for a little time due to the mass inertia of the
shafts, compressor and turbine wheels, and generate more boost pressure against the closed throttle valve.

Pressure peaks (brief howling) in the turbochargers are prevented by the deceleration air switchover valve
(Y101).

Deceleration air function sequence

If the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) detects the transition from load to deceleration mode on the signals from the
accelerator pedal sensor (B37), the deceleration mode switchover valve is actuated with a ground signal.

This causes the two deceleration air valves at the turbochargers to be charged with vacuum from the vacuum
reservoir. The deceleration air valves open a bypass (around the related compressor impeller), causing the boost
pressure to drop immediately.

When the deceleration air switchover valve is not actuated (in charging mode), the diaphragm chambers of the
deceleration air valves are connected to the intake manifold. The deceleration air valves are closed by the
integrated springs and by the boost pressure in the intake manifold.

If a deceleration air valve does not close, less boost pressure is generated.

Vacuum is built up in the vacuum reservoir during the engine intake phase and in deceleration mode.

To do this, the check valve (under vacuum) opens the line between the intake manifold and vacuum reservoir.

Function

The exhaust gases of each cylinder bank are directed through the exhaust manifold into the turbine housing onto
the turbine wheel (110c). The flow energy of the exhaust gases (B) set the turbine wheel in rotation.

As a result, the compressor turbine wheel (110d), which is connected to the turbine wheel by the shaft (110e), is
also driven at the same speed. The clean air suctioned by the compressor turbine wheel (D) is compressed (E)
and allocated to the engine.

The boost pressure control is performed by opening and closing the boost pressure control valve (110/3a),
which releases a bypass around the turbine wheel. The boost pressure control valve (110/3a) is operated via the
vacuum cell (110/3) with the control rod (110/3b). The controlled range on the control rod is approx. 8 up to 13
mm.

The vacuum cells (110/3) of both turbochargers are discharged together with the pressure of the boost pressure
control pressure transducer (Y31/5).

Each turbocharger has a deceleration air valve, which on transition from load to deceleration operation releases
a bypass around the compressor turbine wheel. Through the quick boost pressure removal charger noises are
prevented.

The shaft housing of both turbochargers are cooled with coolant and connected to the engine lubrication.

The compressor turbine wheel at the left turbocharger can be slightly smeared with oil due to the vapors of
the crankcase ventilation.

Observe installation notes for exhaust manifold/turbocharger with assembly tool!

For troubleshooting when boost pressure is missing, continue as follows:

1. Check leaktightness of boost pressure pipes (check gaskets and hose clamps between compressor housing
and intake manifold)
2. Check function of boost pressure control with boost pressure control pressure transducer (Y31/5).
3. Check leaktightness and actuation of deceleration air valves.
4. Check rotation of both turbochargers (exhaust system removed).

The charge air coolers are connected to a separate coolant circuit with a low temperature cooler (110/11) and an
electrical charge air cooler circulation pump (M44). The air that is heated during the charging process dissipates
the heat to the coolant flowing through the charge air cooler.

The coolant is subsequently cooled in the low temperature cooler and then pumped back to the charge air
coolers from the charge air cooler circulation pump.

The function of the charge air cooler is dependent crucially from the air bubble free filling of the low
temperature cooling circuit. A special tool (vacuum pump) is required for filling and work instructions must be
followed carefully.

Open the cap at the low temperature coolant circuit only when the charge air temperature is increased (power
shortage) and when the engine is cold. The coolant must reach up to the cap.

The cooled air downstream of the charge air coolers has a higher density. This increases the cylinder charge and
thus the engine output. In addition, the tendency to knock and NO X formation is reduced by the low exhaust
gas temperatures The maximum boost pressure becomes available only when the charge air temperature is
lower than 70°C. The charge air temperature sensor detects the temperature (B17/8) at the intake manifold.

A water/charge air cooler is built into each cylinder bank. Both water/charge air coolers are connected to the
low temperature cooling circuit with low temperature cooler and electric circulation pump (M44). The
circulation pump (M44) is actuated via the charge air cooler circulation pump relay by the engine control unit in
the following manner:

 Switching on at a charge air temperature above approx. 47°C


 Switching off at a charge air temperature below approx. 35°C

The function of the charge air cooler is fully dependent on the air bubble free filling of the low temperature
cooling circuit. A special tool (vacuum pump) is required for filling and the work instructions must be followed
carefully.

Open the cap at the low temperature coolant circuit only when the charge air temperature is increased (power
shortage) and the engine is cold. The coolant must reach up to the cap.

Charge air cooling - general

The charge air cooling holds the charge air temperature below 70°C.

The cooled air downstream of the charge air coolers has higher density. This increases the cylinder charge, and
therefore engine performance. It also reduces the tendency to knock, and the lower exhaust temperatures reduce
the formation of nitrogen oxides (NO X ).

One water/charge air cooler is installed for each cylinder bank. Both water/charge air coolers are connected to
the low-temperature cooling circuit with low-temperature cooler and circulation pump charge air cooler (M44).

Charge air cooling function sequence

If the charge air temperature is above 47°C, the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) actuates the charge air cooler
circulation pump through the circulation pump relay (N10/2kQ).

If the charge air temperature falls below 35°C, the charge air cooler circulation pump is switched off again.

The charge air temperature in the intake manifold is detected by the charge air temperature sensor (B17/8) and
sent to the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) in the form of a voltage signal.

The charge air cooling function crucial depends on bubble-free filling of the low-temperature cooling circuit.
A special tool (vacuum pump) is required for filling this circuit.

Only open the cap on the low-temperature coolant circuit when the charge air temperature is increased (lack
of power) and the engine is cold. The coolant must reach up to the cap.

MODEL 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08

MODEL 221.0 /1 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC [HDFS])

Function requirements for remote trunk closing, general

 Circuit 30
 No overvoltage or undervoltage
 System synchronized
 Vehicle speed v = 0 km/h

Normalization of the remote trunk closing should only be performed after replacing a component or after
adjustment work on the trunk lid.

Remote trunk closing function, general

The trunk lid can be opened or closed automatically with the remote trunk closing function.
Manual operation of the trunk lid is possible, but requires increased force, since the hydraulic system also has to
be moved.

Information on vehicle speed is transmitted to the TLC control unit (N121) by the instrument cluster (A1) over
the interior CAN. The TLC control unit actuates the TLC hydraulic pump (M51) according to the request. The
trunk lid then can be opened or closed with the hydraulic cylinder or multiple-joint hinge.

If various requests are present at the same time, the opening/closing procedure is interrupted immediately and
continued only after a new request is continued.

The trunk lid remote closing function comprises the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for closing trunk lid


 Function sequence for opening trunk lid
 Function sequence for opening angle limitation
 Function sequence for lockup recognition

Additional function requirements for closing trunk lid

 Trunk lid opened

Function sequence for closing trunk lid

Closing the trunk lid comprises the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for closing trunk lid via TLC button (S62/26)
 Function sequence for closing trunk lid via trunk lid open/close switch (S20/1s6)

Function sequence for closing trunk lid via TLC button

Closing the trunk lid is requested by actuating the TLC button. The TLC control unit reads in the status of the
TLC button and actuates the TLC hydraulic pump. The trunk lid is then closed by the hydraulic cylinder and the
multiple-joint hinge. As soon as the trunk lid reaches the trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch (M14/7s3), the
rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) transmits a corresponding signal via the interior
CAN to the TLC control unit, which then switches off the TLC hydraulic pump. Simultaneously the rear SAM
control unit actuates the trunk lid CL motor (M14/7), whereby the trunk lid is closed completely by the power
locking feature.

On vehicles with code (889) Keyless Go the central locking (CL) can be locked additionally according to the
actuation of the TLC button.

Function sequence for closing trunk lid via trunk lid switch

Closing the trunk lid can be requested by actuating the trunk lid switch. The status of the trunk lid switch is read
in by the left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) via the
the TLC hydraulic pump. The trunk lid is then closed by the hydraulic cylinder and the multiple-joint hinge. As
soon as the trunk lid reaches the trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch, the rear SAM control unit transmits a
corresponding signal via the interior CAN to the TLC control, which then switches off the TLC hydraulic
pump. Simultaneously the rear SAM control unit actuates the trunk lid CL motor, whereby the trunk lid is
closed completely by the power locking feature.

Additional function requirements for opening trunk lid

 Trunk lid closed

Function sequence for opening trunk lid

Opening the trunk lid comprises the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for opening trunk lid via trunk lid external operation switch (S88/8)
 Function sequence for opening trunk lid via trunk lid switch
 Function sequence for opening trunk lid via transmitter key (A8/1)

Function sequence for opening trunk lid via trunk lid external operation switch

Opening the trunk lid is requested by actuating the trunk lid external operation switch. The rear SAM control
unit directly reads in the status of the trunk lid external operation switch and actuates the trunk lid CL motor to
unlock the trunk lid.

Then the rear SAM control unit transmits the status "Trunk lid unlocked" via the interior CAN to the TLC
control unit, which then actuates the TLC hydraulic pump. The hydraulic cylinder is charged with oil and opens
the trunk lid with the multiple-joint hinge.

The TLC control unit monitors the hydraulic motion over the trunk lid position sensor (B24/16). As soon as the
trunk lid position sensor recognizes the determined end switch-off angle, the TLC control unit switches off the
TLC hydraulic pump.

Function sequence for opening trunk lid via trunk lid switch

Opening the trunk lid can be requested by actuating the trunk lid switch. The left door control unit or left front
door control unit reads in the status of the trunk lid switch via the front door LIN and transmits it via the interior
CAN to the rear SAM control unit, when then actuates the trunk lid CL motor to unlock the trunk lid.

Then the rear SAM control unit transmits the status "Trunk lid unlocked" via the interior CAN to the TLC
control unit, which then actuates the TLC hydraulic pump. The hydraulic cylinder is charged with oil and opens
the trunk lid with the multiple-joint hinge. The TLC control unit monitors the hydraulic motion via the trunk lid
position sensor. As soon as the trunk lid position sensor recognizes the determined end switch-off angle, the
TLC control unit switches off the TLC hydraulic pump.

Function sequence for opening trunk lid via transmitter key


Opening the trunk lid is requested by actuating the trunk lid button on the transmitter key for longer than t = 0, 5
s. The request is transmitted by the transmitter key via radio to the rear antenna amplifier module (A2/12) and
relayed to the rear SAM control unit. The rear SAM control unit transmits them to the interior CAN. The EIS
control unit (N73) reads in the request and checks the authorization of the transmitter key.

When the transmitter key is valid, the EIS control unit transmits a corresponding signal to the interior CAN.

The rear SAM control unit receives this signal, actuates the trunk lid CL motor to unlock the trunk lid and
transmits the status "Trunk lid unlocked" via the interior CAN to the TLC control unit.

The TLC control unit then actuates the TLC hydraulic pump. The hydraulic cylinder is charged with oil and
opens the trunk lid with the multiple-joint hinge. The TLC control unit monitors the hydraulic motion via the
trunk lid position sensor. As soon as the trunk lid position sensor recognizes the determined end switch-off
angle, the TLC control unit switches off the TLC hydraulic pump.

By actuating the trunk lid emergency opening switch (S88/10) (with code (494) USA version) the trunk lid is
opened regardless of the vehicle speed and the locking status.

Function sequence for opening angle limitation

The limitation function of the opening angle serves to determine a new end position of the trunk lid (garage
position or maximum opening) to prevent damaging the rear-end door by hitting against extending
transportation goods (ski box, surfboard, etc.).

The "Garage position" can be switched on/off in the menu in the COMAND control unit (A40/3) or defined as
new end position. Operation is accomplished over the front central control unit (A40/9) and displayed by the
COMAND display (A40/8).

Function sequence for lockup recognition

The TLC control unit senses the current status and any change of the vehicle speed during opening/closing by
the signals from the trunk lid position sensor.

If blockage is detected during closing the trunk lid, the TLC hydraulic pump is reversed and the trunk lid is
moved to the initial position.

If blockage is detected during closing, the TLC hydraulic pump switches off and the trunk lid remains in the
momentary position.

CENTRAL LOCKING (CL), FUNCTION - GF80.20-P-0005LE

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Central locking (CL), general

The CL electrically locks and unlocks the vehicle doors, the trunk lid and the fuel filler flap.

The following controls are available:

 Transmitter key (A8/1)


 Left interior CL [ZV] switch (S85/5)
 Right interior CL switch (S85/6)
 Trunk lid open/close switch (S20/1s6) (open trunk lid only, remaining CL remains locked)

On vehicles with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC), the trunk lid can be opened and closed
hydraulically.

Additional information is given in the separate function description Remote trunk closing.

The CL function comprises the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for unlocking by opening a door from inside


 Function sequence for child safety lock on rear door doors (on model 221 up to 31.5.09 without
code (494) USA version and Code (460) Canada version or on model 221 as of 1.6.09)
 Function sequence for emergency opening in event of crash
 Function sequence for additional door lock (with code (833) Great Britain version)

Further subfunctions are described in separate documents:

 Central locking operation with transmitter key, function


 Locking/unlocking vehicle with inside switch, function
 Automatic locking, function

Additional function requirements for unlocking by opening a door from inside

Vehicle locked by:

 Left interior actuation CL switch or right interior actuation CL switch


 Automatic locking

Function sequence for unlocking by opening a door from inside

The doors can always be opened from the inside regardless of the status of the CL. The corresponding door lock
is then unlocked.

Special case:

Globally locked vehicle locked with interior actuation CL switch or automatic function.

In this case, the vehicle is unlocked globally when the driver or passenger door is opened from inside.

Vehicles with code (833) Great Britain version:

If the CL is locked or relocked from the outside, the doors can only be opened from the inside, if the additional
door lock was previously deactivated via the menu point "Vehicle" in the COMAND control unit (A40/3).
Function sequence for child safety lock on rear doors (on model 221 up to 31.5.09 without code (494) USA
version and Code (460) Canada version or on model 221 as of 1.6.09)

When the mechanical child safety lock in the rear doors is actuated, they cannot be opened from the inside.

This mechanical lockout can be overridden with the safety lever on the rear doors.

On vehicles without code (833) Great Britain version, without code (460) Canada version and without code
(494) USA version disabling can be eliminated for t = 5 s by pressing the interior CL actuation switch.

while actuating the left rear child safety lock motor (A85/3m5) and right rear child safety lock motor
(A85/4m5).

The left interior actuation CL switch is read in by the left front door control unit (N69/1) and the right interior
actuation CL switch by the right front door control unit (N69/2)

From there the signal is transmitted via the interior CAN (CAN B) to the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73), which
then transmits the command to actuate the rear child safety lock motors to the left rear door control unit (N69/3)
and right rear door control unit (N69/4).

Function sequence for emergency opening in event of crash

The emergency opening function unlocks the doors of the vehicle after an accident. The restraint system control
unit (N2/7) transmits the corresponding message to the EIS control unit.

Parallel to this, the crash signal is transmitted to the central gateway control unit (N93), which relays the signal
to the following control unit via the interior CAN:

Model 221:

 Door control module front left


 Door control module front right
 Door control module rear left
 Door control module rear right

Model 216:

 Left door control unit (N69/1)


 Right door control unit (N69/2)

After a waiting time of t = 8 to 11 s, the doors are unlocked.

The emergency opening function overrides all other central locking functions. When the vehicle has been
locked from the outside, the emergency opening function is not active.
 Interior protection activated (on vehicles with code (882) Interior monitoring (only with ATA))

Function sequence for additional door lock (with code (833) Great Britain version)

When the vehicle is locked with the transmitter key, the mechanical interior actuation is decoupled from all
doors, so that it is no longer possible to open the doors from the inside.

The interior protection and the additional door lock are deactivated via the menu point "Vehicle" in the
COMAND control unit.

If the vehicle is unlocked from the outside with the transmitter key, the additional door lock is deactivated
simultaneously by a command from the EIS control unit to the door control units via the interior CAN. The
doors can now be opened again from the inside.

REMOTE TRUNK LID CLOSING, FUNCTION - GF80.20-P-0007SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 with CODE (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC [HDFS]) up to Model Year 8

Description

The remote trunk closing (RTC) makes it possible to open and close the trunk lid hydraulically. The RTC is
controlled by the TLC control unit (N121). The trunk lid is driven via a hydraulic cylinder, which is integrated
into the trunk lid mechanism. The hydraulic volume flow required for operation is generated by the TLC
hydraulic pump (M51). The trunk lid position sensor (B24/16) is integrated into the hydraulic cylinder. The
trunk lid is completely closed by the power closing (SVS).

Opening trunk lid

The trunk lid can be opened with the following controls:

 Transmitter key (A8/1)


 Remote trunk lid open/close switch (S20/1s6)
 Trunk lid external operation switch (S88/8)
 Trunk lid emergency release switch (S88/10) (only )

The trunk lid can be opened to the limit stop or the stored garage position. The opening motion can be stopped
at any time by reactuating the controls mentioned above.

Closing trunk lid

The trunk lid can be closed with the following controls:

 Trunk lid open/close switch


 TLC [HDS] button (S62/26)

The trunk lid open/close switch must be actuated during the entire closing procedure.

When closing via the TLC button, closing can be stopped by actuating the TLC button again.

Limitation of opening position of trunk lid (garage position)

The limitation of the opening position is intended to prevent the trunk lid from being damaged by extending
transportation goods (e.g. ski box) or when the space available is insufficient (e.g. underground garage).

The garage position can be adjusted with the front central operating unit (A40/9) in the menu COMAND
control unit (A40/3). The menu is shown in the COMAND display (A40/8).

Synchronizing

Normalization is performed via STAR DIAGNOSIS in the TLC control unit and must be performed during
initial start-up. It is necessary to learn in the closed and completely open position of the trunk lid. Before
normalization of the upper end position, it is not possible to close the trunk lid hydraulically.

Since the end points of the trunk lid are not yet known during normalization, the trunk lid approaches the end
points with increased speed.

 Synchronizing upper end position, function prerequisites:


 Trunk lid lock opened and

 no synchronization present

When the trunk lid external operation switch is actuated, the trunk lid is opened automatically. If the TLC
control unit recognizes that the end position is reached within the normalization range adjusted via STAR
DIAGNOSIS, the TLC hydraulic unit is actuated another 8 s and this position is stored as 0 position (trunk lid
open). Then the TLC hydraulic pump switches off regardless of whether the request is still present.

 Normalization of lower end position

Function prerequisites:
 Trunk lid lock open,
 upper normalization present and
 lower normalization not present

An automatic run is started in the closing direction to normalize the lower end position after the TLC button is
actuated. The trunk lid is completely closed.

If the trunk lid is within the normalization limits for the closed position at that time and the trunk lid position
sensor indicates a plausible value, normalization is completed.

Lockup recognition

The TLC control unit recognizes the position and the speed of the trunk lid with the aid of the trunk lid position
sensor.

 Closing procedure

If trunk lid lock-up is recognized while closing, the trunk lid is moved to the default position, preceding lock-
up.

 Opening procedure

If trunk lid lock-up is recognized while opening, the drive is switched off and the trunk lid remains in the
momentary position.

OPERATING CENTRAL LOCKING WITH TRANSMITTER KEY, FUNCTION - GF80.20-P-2002LE


MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Terminal 15C OFF

Central locking (CL), operation with transmitter key (A8/1) function, general

The CL can be operated with the transmitter key.

The operation of the transmitter key comprises the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for presetting global and selective unlocking


 Function sequence for locking or unlocking
 Function sequence for visual feedback (without code (494) USA version)
 Function sequence for acoustic feedback (1.9.10)
 Function sequence for trunk lid remote opening
 Function sequence for mechanical trunk lid locking (With code (887) Valet Parking)

Function sequence for presetting global and selective unlocking

If the unlock and lock buttons on the transmitter key are pressed simultaneously for t = 5 seconds, a change
between the "global" and "selective" settings takes place. The indicator lamp on the transmitter key comes on
for confirmation.

 Global unlocking

The entire vehicle is unlocked by pressing the "Unlock" button on the transmitter key (doors, trunk lid
and fuel filler flap).

 Selective unlocking

Only the driver door and the fuel filler flap are unlocked when the "Unlock" button on the transmitter key is
pressed. Only the next actuation of the "Unlock" transmit button unlocks the entire vehicle.

Function sequence for locking or unlocking

When the "Lock or unlock" button the transmitter key is actuated, it transmits a radio signal via the rear window
antenna amplifier module (A2/12) to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2). The EIS
control unit (N73) receives the signal from the SAM control unit via the interior CAN. Parallel to the radio
signal, an infrared signal is transmitted driver door infrared sensor (B58) (precise aiming required). This signal
is read in by the left door control unit (N69/1) (on model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1) (on model
221) and transmitted to the EIS control unit via the interior CAN (CAN B).

The infrared and radio signals contain the same information (redundant). The first signal received always has
priority.

In both cases, the EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the transmitter key.

If the access authorization is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command "Lock or unlock" via the interior
CAN to the following control units:

Model 221:

 Left front door control unit


 Left front door lock unit actuation (A85)

 Right front door control unit (N69/2)


 Right front door lock unit actuation (A85/1)

 left rear door control unit (N69/3)


 Left rear door lock unit actuation (A85/3)

 Right rear door control unit (N69/4)


 Right rear front door lock unit actuation (A85/4)

 Rear SAM control unit


 Trunk lid CL motor actuation (M14/7)

 Fuel filler flap CL motor actuation (M14/10)

Model 216:

 Left door control unit


 Left door lock unit actuation (A85)

 Right door control unit (N69/2)


 Right door lock unit actuation (A85/1)

 Rear SAM control unit


 Trunk lid CL motor actuation

 Fuel filler flap CL motor actuation

Moreover, the rear SAM control unit enables or disables the opening request from the trunk lid external switch
(S88/8).

If the driver door is opened during locking, the driver door is not locked An open passenger door is locked

When the vehicle is unlocked, the interior illumination (IBL) is switched on with the soft-on feature by the
overhead control panel control unit (N70).

Function sequence for visual feedback (without code (494) USA version)

After successful locking or unlocking, the turn signal lamps flash as visual feedback.
The function is controlled by the rear SAM control unit, transmitting the turn signal as blinkmaster with the
interior CAN:

 Locking: flashes three times


 Unlocking: flashes once

For further information on visual feedback see separate function description on exterior lights.

If a door is still open when locking, there is no visual feedback.

Function sequence for acoustic feedback (as of 1.9.10)

Select and activate acoustic feedback in instrument cluster (A1) via left multifunction steering wheel button
group (S110) and right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111).

The status of the acoustic feedback is transmitted by the instrument cluster via the central CAN (CAN F) to the
central gateway control unit (N93) and from there to the front fuse and relay module control unit (N10/1) via
the interior CAN. If the acoustic feedback function is activated and the successful locking and unlocking, an
acoustic feedback is output by momentarily actuating the left horn (H2) and right horn (H2/1).

If the transmitter key is valid and the acoustic feedback activated, the EIS control unit transmits the command
"Lock or unlock" via the interior CAN to the front SAM control unit, which momentarily actuates the horns via
the horn relay (N10/1kF).

 Locking: three times


 Unlocking: once

If a door is still open when locking, there is no acoustic feedback.

Function sequence for trunk lid remote opening

When the "Remote trunk release" is actuated, the transmitter key transmits the corresponding signal. The data
flow is the same as described previously for "Locking or unlocking".

However, only the trunk lid CL motor is actuated by the rear SAM control unit to unlock the trunk lid. The
remaining CL remains deactivated.

After closing, the trunk lid it is relocked.

Function sequence for mechanical trunk lid locking (with code (887) Valet Parking)

The trunk lid can be secured mechanically by locking with the emergency key. The position of the trunk lid is
relayed to the rear SAM control unit by the trunk lid contact switch (S88/6). The opening request from the rear
SAM control unit is enabled or disabled according to the position.

Shown on global locking and unlocking on model 221.0

Changing functions "global" and "selective" unlocking

If the unlock and lock buttons on the transmitter key are pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, the "global" and
"selective" functions change. The indicator lamp on the transmitter key comes on to confirm this change.

 Global unlocking

The entire vehicle is unlocked by pressing the "Unlock" button on the transmitter key (doors, trunk lid
and fuel filler flap).

 Selective unlocking

Only the driver door and the fuel filler flap are unlocked when the "Unlock" button on the transmitter key is
pressed. Only the next actuation of the "Unlock" transmit button unlocks the entire vehicle.

Function sequence for locking or unlocking

When the "Lock/unlock button" on the transmitter key is actuated, it transmits a radio signal to the rear SAM
control unit via the antenna amplifier module and relays it to the EIS control unit. An infrared signal is
transmitted parallel to the radio signal to the driver door infrared sensor (precise aiming required). This signal is
read in by the corresponding door control unit and transmitted to the EIS control unit.

The infrared and radio signals include the same information (redundant); the first signal received is accepted.

In both cases, the EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the transmitter key. If the access
authorization is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the "Locking or unlocking" command to the control units
and the rear SAM control unit. They then actuate the corresponding door lock units and the fuel filler flap CL
motor.

Moreover, the rear SAM control unit enables or disables the opening request from the trunk lid external switch
(S88/8).

If the driver door is opened during locking, the driver door is not locked An open passenger door is locked

When the vehicle is unlocked, the interior illumination (IBL) is switched on with the soft-on feature by the
overhead control panel control unit (N70).

Visual feedback

After successful locking or unlocking, the turn signal lamps flash as visual feedback.

The function is controlled by the rear SAM control unit, which acts as master flasher forwarding the signal to
flash to the door control unit and front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1).

 Locking: flashing 3 times


 Unlocking: flashing once

If a door is still open when locking, there is no visual feedback.

Function sequence for remote trunk lid release (RTR)

When the "Remote trunk release" is actuated, the transmitter key transmits the corresponding signal. The data
flow is the same as described previously for "Locking or unlocking".

However, only the trunk lid CL motor (M14/7) is actuated by the rear SAM control unit to unlock the trunk lid.
The remaining CL remains deactivated.

After closing, the trunk lid it is relocked.


Mechanical trunk lid locking (only )

The trunk lid can be secured mechanically by locking. The position of the trunk lid is relayed to the rear SAM
control unit by the trunk lid contact switch (S88/6). The opening request from the rear SAM control unit is

The trunk lid can also be closed by hand. In this case, it is necessary to overcome the resistance of the
hydraulic drive.

Function requirements

 Normalize trunk lid


 No overvoltage/undervoltage
 Vehicle stationary

Function

The trunk lid can be closed using the following 2 controls.

Actuation differs only up to the time the request is present at the TLC control unit.

1.1 Trunk lid open/close switch

When the trunk lid open/close switch is actuated and held down, the "Open" signal is read in by the
corresponding door control unit via front door LIN.
The door control unit relays it to the TLC control unit via interior CAN.

When the trunk open/close switch is released, the closing procedure is stopped.

1.2 TCL button

The TCL button is read in directly by the TLC control unit. Momentary actuation is sufficient.

Vehicles with code (889) Keyless Go:

The TCL button is designed as two-piece version. When the left button is actuated, the trunk lid is closed,
when the right button is actuated, the vehicle is locked.

The Keyless Go control unit initiates a check of the transmitter key (A8/1) (N69/5); validity of the
transmitter key is checked by the EIS control unit. Locking is only accomplished, if a valid transmitter
key is recognized outside of the vehicle.

2 Close trunk lid

The TLC control unit actuates the TLC hydraulic pump as long as the trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch
(M14/7s3) signals "Trunk lid closed" to the SAM control unit.

The closing procedure of the trunk lid is monitored via the trunk lid position sensor by the TLC control unit.

Then the trunk lid is completely closed with power closing via the trunk lid CL motor.

Fig. 11: Opening Remote Trunk Closing (RTC) Function Diagram


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Function requirements

 Normalize trunk lid


 No overvoltage/undervoltage
 Vehicle standing still (not with emergency opening ( )
 Central locking (CL) unlocked (with trunk lid external actuation switch control and trunk lid open/close
switch)

Function

The trunk lid can be opened via the following 4 controls. Actuation differs only up to the time the request is
present at the rear SAM control unit

1.1 Transmitter key

When the "Trunk lid opening" transmit button is actuated for longer than 0.5 s, the transmitter key
transmits a radio signal to the rear window antenna amplifier module. This signal is relayed to the EIS
control unit via the rear SAM control unit. The EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the
transmitter key.

If the access authorization is valid, the EZS control unit sends the command "Open trunk lid" to the rear
SAM control unit.

1.2 Trunk lid external operation switch

When the trunk lid external operation switch is actuated, the command to open the rear SAM control unit
is read in.

1.3 Trunk lid open/close switch

When the trunk lid open/close switch is actuated, the "Open" signal is read in by the corresponding door
control unit via front door LIN. The door control unit relays the signal to the TLC control unit and rear
SAM control unit via the interior CAN.

1.4 Trunk lid emergency release switch

When the trunk lid emergency release switch is actuated, the command to open the rear SAM control unit
is read in.

2 Actuating open trunk lid (independent from controls)

The rear SAM control unit actuates the trunk lid CL motor to unlock the trunk lid. If the trunk lid is unlocked,
the rear SAM control unit transmits this signal via the interior CAN to the TLC control unit, which actuates the
TLC hydraulic pump. When the trunk lid has reached its end position, the TLC hydraulic pump is stopped by
the TLC control unit and the trunk lid remains in the open position.

The opening procedure is monitored by the trunk lid position sensor.

If an opening is requested during the opening procedure, the automatic drive is stopped.

Regardless of how the trunk lid is opened, the rear SAM control unit transmits a feedback signal to the left door
control unit via the open trunk lid via the interior CAN, which then actuates the function LED in the trunk lid

ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM (ATA [EDW]), FUNCTION - GF80.50-P-0001LE

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW])

Antitheft alarm system (ATA), general

The anti-theft alarm system (ATA) monitors all relevant inputs for their non-actuated state If it detects a change
The acoustic signals are output by the alarm signal siren (H3/1). The visual signals are output country-specific
by means of the exterior lights. In addition, the interior illumination (front and rear) is switched on via the
overhead control panel control unit (N70).

When the panic alarm is activated (with code (763) Radio remote control with panic alarm), the interior
illumination is not activated in contrast to the ATA.

The rear SAM control unit with rear fuse and relay module (N10/2) has the master function for the ATA.

The ATA, when armed, monitors:

 Doors
 Trunk lid
 Engine hood
 Position change of vehicle (tow-away protection) (except on:
 Code (494) USA version

 Code (460) Canada version

 Code (498) Japan version)

 Voltage supply and data line for alarm signal horn


 Motion in interior compartment (interior protection) (with code (882) Interior monitoring (only with
ATA))

The ATA comprises the following partial functions described in separate documents:

 Activate anti-theft alarm system, function


 Anti-theft alarm system trigger, function
 Alarm actuation by panic switch, function (with code (763) Radio remote control with panic switch)

ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM (ATA [EDW]), FUNCTION - GF80.50-P-0001SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA [EDW]) up to Model Year 8
The anti-theft alarm system (ATA) monitors all relevant inputs for their non-actuated state If it detects a change
of state in one of the monitored inputs, it triggers a country-specific acoustic and visual alarm.

The acoustic signals are output by the alarm signal horn with additional battery (H3/1). The visual signals are
output country-specific by means of the exterior lights. In addition, the interior illumination (front and rear) is
switched on via the overhead control panel control unit (N70). When the panic alarm is activated (only
with code (763) Radio remote control with panic alarm), the interior illumination is not activated in contrast to
the ATA. The rear SAM control unit with rear fuse and relay module (N10/2) has the master function for the
ATA.

The national functions and alarm outputs can be set with the vehicle programming.

The ATA, when armed, monitors:

 Doors
 Trunk lid
 Engine hood
 Position change of vehicle (tow-away protection)
 Voltage supply and data line for alarm signal horn
 Motions in interior compartment (with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA only))

ATA activated by:

 Locking the vehicle with the transmitter key (A8/1)


 Locking vehicle via Keyless Go (KG) (with code (889) Keyless Go)
 Locking by automatic relocking:
 Automatic activation (only )

If the driver door is opened and closed again after removing the transmitter key, the ATA activates
automatically 2 minutes after the last door is closed regardless whether the vehicle is locked.

Alarm inputs

The ATA evaluates the following alarm inputs:

 Alarm signal siren


 Left rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 216) or left front rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 221)
 Right rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1) (model 216) or Right front rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1)
(model 221)
 Left rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/3s1) (model 221)
 Right rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/4s1) (model 221)
 Engine hood ATA switch (S62)
 Trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch (M14/7s3)
 Ultrasonic echo sounder sensor (A26/13) (with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA [EDW] only))

Function

After the central locking (CL) is closed, the EIS control unit (N73) transmits the message "Vehicle locked" to
the rear SAM control unit, which then activates the ATA. The outer right ATA function display (N72/1e2) in
the upper control panel control unit (N72/1) flashes. The status of the alarm inputs is checked cyclically (every
0.4 s). If the polls indicate that an input is at rest within 10 s, the corresponding input is then armed. Alarm
inputs set later to the non-actuated state (e.g. if the trunk lid is closed only after the vehicle has been locked), are
also armed 10 s after closing. The turn signal feedback flashes three times only after the last door and trunk lid
are closed.

Partial activation of ATA

Function requirement

 ATA not activated

Function

The tow-away protection and the interior protection (with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA only)) can
be deactivated using the COMAND control unit (A40/3) or the free programming button (A40/9s10) in the
central front operating unit (A40/9). The interior protection and the tow-away sensor can be deactivated or
activated independently from the selected circuit status. This makes it possible, for example, to deactivate the
corresponding function while driving. Deactivation is only valid for the following activation. It is reset with
ignition "ON" (c. 15) or each time the ATA is deactivated. Exceptions are activations after

 Trunk lid remote release


 Remote trunk closing/opening
 Relocking CL

The previous status is restored during these procedures.

Tow-away protection

The tow-away protection is activated 10 seconds after the closing command of the EIS control unit and only
after the last door and the trunk lid are locked. The inclination sensor is integrated into the alarm signal horn
and communicates with the rear SAM control unit. When the inclination sensor is defective or not connected,
the full function of all other ATA components is maintained.

Interior protection

(with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA only))

The ultrasonic echo sounder sensor is activated 10 s after the last door or the trunk lid is locked. The ultrasonic
echo sounder sensor is ready for an alarm after an additional 20 seconds; this time is required for it to measure
the interior compartment for reference purposes.

Automatic relocking

The automatic relocking function is actuated by the EIS control unit.

If the vehicle is unlocked and neither a door nor the trunk lid is opened within 40 s, the vehicle relocks
automatically. Relocking is not signaled by the turn signal lamps. The rear SAM control unit arms the ATA
when the EIS control unit is relocked. The interior protection and tow-away protection are set to the same status
as before the opening procedure

Special case: Driver door

If the driver door is still open when the ATA is activated, the left front door lock unit (A85) on model 221 or
left door lock unit (A85) on model 216 is not actuated and the door remains unlocked. After the driver door is
closed, the door status is transmitted to the rear SAM control unit and the alarm input is included in the poll
cycle leading to alarm actuation when the driver door is opened without previously deactivating the ATA.

Automatic activation (only )

Activation for the Belgium national version is supplemented so that the ATA is completely disarmed following
a delay time of 120 s after the transmitter key is removed and the driver door is opened/closed. This is
accomplished regardless of central locking.

Special case: Acoustic feedback following successful activation (only )

In addition to the visual feedback, the alarm signal horn with additional battery outputs an acoustic signal by
buzzing momentarily.

If one door is not properly closed during ATA [EDW] activation, no feedback will be given.

Deactivating ATA

The ATA can be deactivated by:

 Unlocking CL with transmitter key or


 Inserting transmitter key into EIS control unit (c. 15C ON) or
 Unlocking via Keyless Go (KG) (with code (889) Keyless Go)

The corresponding signals from the EIS control unit are read in by the rear SAM control unit, which deactivates
the ATA.

Special case: Acoustic deactivation feedback (only )

The alarm signal horn with additional battery outputs an acoustic feedback by buzzing once.

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW])

Function requirements, general

 C. 15C OFF
 Central locking operating properly

Activate antitheft alarm system (ATA), general

The antitheft alarm system (ATA) is activated automatically when the vehicle is locked with the central locking
(CL). Then the individual alarm inputs are monitored. The activated ATA is indicated by the ATA function
indicator (N72/1e2) flashing continuously.

On vehicles for Belgium, the ATA arms automatically without locking the vehicle with the CL.

It is possible, before locking the CL, to switch off the tow-away protection (except with code (494) USA
version, with code (460) Canada version and with code (498) Japan version) or the interior protection (on
vehicles with code (882)Interior monitoring (only with ATA)).

Activation of the ATA comprises several subfunctions:

 Function sequence for activating ATA


 Function sequence for switching off tow-away protection of ATA
 Function sequence for switching off interior protection of ATA
 Function sequence for activating alarm inputs

Function sequence for activating ATA

The partial function is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for locking with transmitter key (A8/1)


 Function sequence for locking CL with automatic relocking feature
 Function sequence for locking CL with Keyless-Go (with code (889) Keyless-Go)
 Function sequence for automatic activation (only on vehicles for Belgium)

Special case: Driver door


If the driver door is still open when the CL is locked, it is not locked. When the driver door is closed, the door
status is indicated to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) and the alarm input is
included in the checking cycle. This leads to actuation of an alarm when opening the driver door without
previous deactivation of the ATA.

Function sequence for locking CL with transmitter key

When the "Lock" button on the transmitter key (A8/1) is actuated, it transmits a radio signal via the rear
window antenna amplifier module (A2/12) to the rear SAM control unit. This relays the signal to the EIS
control unit (N73) via interior CAN. Parallel to the radio signal an infrared signal is transmitted by the
transmitter key to the driver door (B58) (precise aiming required).

This signal is read in by the left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1)
(model 221) and is transmitted by the EIS control unit via the interior CAN.

In both cases, the EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the transmitter key.

If the access authorization is valid, the message "Vehicle locked" is transmitted with the interior CAN to the
SAM control unit, which then activates the ATA.

Function sequence for locking CL with automatic relocking feature

The automatic relocking function is actuated by the EIS control unit. If the vehicle is unlocked and neither a
door nor the trunk lid is opened within 40 s, the vehicle relocks automatically. The EIS control unit transmits
via interior CAN the message "Vehicle locked" to the rear SAM control unit, which then activates the ATA.

Function sequence for locking CL with Keyless-Go:

Detailed information on the function sequence for locking the CL via Keyless-Go is given in the separate
Keyless-Go function description.

After locking the CL, the EIS control unit transmits the message "Vehicle locked" via interior CAN to the rear
SAM control unit, which then activates the ATA.

Function sequence for self-activation

When the transmitter key is removed from the EIS control unit, the driver door or the trunk is opened and
closed again, the ATA is activated automatically 2 s after the last door or the trunk lid is closed, regardless of
the status of the vehicle central locking. The interior protection and the tow-away protection are set to the same
state as before the last unlocking procedure.

Additional function requirements for switching off tow-away protection of ATA

 ATA not yet activated

Function sequence for switching off tow-away protection of ATA


The tow-way protection can be deactivated with the COMAND control unit (A40/3) or by the button for free
programming (A40/9s10), if not programmed previously, in the front central operating unit (A40/9). The tow-
way protection can be deactivated or activated independently from the selected circuit status. This makes it
possible, for example, to deactivate the tow-away protection while driving. Deactivation is only valid for the
following activation. It is reset with ignition "ON" (c. 15) or each time the ATA is deactivated.

Additional function requirements for switching off interior protection of ATA

 ATA not yet activated

Function sequence for switching off interior protection of ATA

The interior protection (with code (882) Interior monitoring (only with ATA)) can be deactivated with the
COMAND control unit or the button free for programming, if not programmed previously in the central front
control unit. The interior protection can be deactivated or activated independently from the selected circuit
status. This makes it possible, for example, to deactivate the interior protection while driving. Deactivation is
only valid for the following activation. It is reset with ignition "ON" (c. 15) or each time the ATA is
deactivated.

Additional function requirements for activating alarm inputs

 ATA activated

Function sequence for activating alarm inputs

The partial function is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for monitoring switch


 Function sequence for activating tow-away protection
 Function sequence for activating interior protection
 Function sequence for activating alarm siren (H3/1)

Function sequence for monitoring switch

The status of the following switches is checked cyclically every t = 0, 4 ms. If the polls indicate that an input is
at rest within t = 10 s, the corresponding input is then armed. Alarm inputs set later to the non-actuated state,
e.g. if the trunk lid is closed only after the vehicle has been locked, are also armed t = 10 s after closing.

Monitored switches:

 Left rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 216) or left front rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 221)
 Right rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1) (model 216) or Right front rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1)
(model 221)
 Left rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/3s1) (model 221)
 Right rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/4s1) (model 221)
 Engine hood ATA switch (S62)
 Trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch (M14/7s3)
 Ultrasonic echo sounder sensor (A26/13) (with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA [EDW] only))
 Alarm signal siren (H3/1)

Function sequence for activating tow-away protection

The tow-away protection is activated (if not previously deselected for the next locking operation) t = 10 s after
the locking command from the EIS control unit and after closing the last door and tailgate.

The inclination sensor in the alarm siren determines a reference position, with which the relative vehicle
inclination is compared during the activation. Determination of the reference position requires approx. t = 10 to
15 to s, for this reason an alarm can only be triggered t = 25 s at the earliest after arming.

The inclination sensor communicates with the rear SAM control unit with rear SAM-LIN.

When the maximum vehicle inclination is exceeded with regard to the reference position, an alarm is triggered.

If the vehicle inclination changes very slowly (e.g. leaky tire), the reference position adapts to the current
vehicle position to prevent inadvertent activation of the inclination sensor.

If the vehicle inclination sensor is faulty, all other components of the ATA continue to function properly and the
corresponding fault codes are entered in the fault memory in the rear SAM control unit.

Function sequence for activating interior protection

The interior protection is activated (if not previously deselected for the next closing) t = 10 s after the last door
or the trunk is closed. The interior protection is ready for alarm after another t = 20 s, because it is first
necessary to calibrate the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor to the vehicle interior.

The status of the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor is monitored by the rear SAM control unit. If a defect is
detected, the remaining ATA functions are still ensured regardless of this error. The corresponding fault codes
are stored in the fault memory in the rear SAM control unit.

Function sequence for activating alarm siren

The alarm siren is armed together with the ATA and checked cyclically approx. every t = 700 ms by the rear
SAM control unit with rear SAM-LIN.

Deactivating ATA:

The ATA is deactivated completely by opening the CL with transmitter key with infrared or radio or by
switching on circuit 15C (valid transmitter key in EIS control unit). The EIS control unit transmits the
corresponding signal via interior CAN to the rear control unit, which then activates the ATA.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM TRIGGER, FUNCTION - GF80.50-P-2004LE

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW])

General function requirements

 Anti-theft alarm system (ATA) activated

Anti-theft alarm system alarm triggering, general

If one of the alarm inputs of the activated ATA exits its non-actuated state, an alarm is triggered.

Alarm actuation in the event of undervoltage

The operating voltage range of the ATA is defined from U = 8 to 16 V. If the voltage drops below U < or =8 V,
it is no longer possible to trigger a visual alarm output. Only an acoustic alarm is triggered. The battery voltage
is stored in the ATA alarm memory in the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2).
The ATA alarm triggering comprises the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for alarm actuation by opening a door, trunk lid or engine hood
 Function sequence for alarm actuation by changing vehicle position (without code (494) USA
version, without code (460) Canada version or without code (498) Japan version)
 Function sequence for alarm triggering by motion in interior compartment (with code (882)
Interior monitoring (only with ATA))
 Function sequence for alarm actuation from communication loss to alarm siren (H3/1)
 Function sequence for emergency opening (with code (494) USA version)
 Function sequence for alarm output
 Function sequence for alarm interruption

Function sequence for alarm actuation by opening a door, trunk lid or engine hood

The rear SAM control unit actuates an alarm as soon as the non-actuated state of one of the following switches
is interrupted for t > 0.5 s:

 Left rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 216) or left front rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 221)
 Right rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1) (model 216) or Right front rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1)
(model 221)
 Left rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/3s1) (model 221)
 Right rear rotary tumbler switch (A85/4s1) (model 221)
 Engine hood ATA switch (S62)
 Trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch (M14/7s3)

The status of the rotary tumbler is read in by the

 Left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221),
 Right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) or right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221),
 Left rear door control unit (N69/3) (model 221) or right rear door control unit (N69/4) (model 221)

and transmitted to the rear SAM control unit via the interior CAN.

The ATA engine hood switch and the trunk lid rotary tumbler microswitch are read in directly by the rear SAM
control unit. To trigger a new alarm, the corresponding switch must first change to the non-actuated state.

After a non-actuated state of t = 10 s an alarm can be reactuated by the same switch, if an acoustic alarm is not
present.

If a locked vehicle is unlocked with the mechanical key and the door is opened, the ATA triggers an alarm.

Additional function requirements for alarm triggering by changing vehicle inclination


 Tow-away protection not deactivated

Function sequence for alarm actuation due to change of vehicle inclination

If the inclination sensor integrated into the alarm siren recognizes an alarm-relevant inclination, an alarm is
output. The corresponding signal is relayed to the rear SAM control unit with the rear SAM-LIN.

Actuation criterion:

 Change in vehicle inclination (horizontal axis) 1° to -1°, ±0.2°

Alarm is recognized before a wheel looses ground contact when lifting the vehicle.

Additional function requirements for alarm triggering by motion in interior compartment

 Interior protection not deactivated

Function sequence for alarm actuation from motion in interior compartment

The signals from the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor (A26/13) (with code (882) Interior monitoring (only with
ATA)) are read in by the rear SAM control unit.

If a movement in the vehicle interior is recognized and considered to be alarm-relevant, an alarm is output.

On vehicles with tilting/sliding roof (SHD) (with code (414) Electric glass tilting/sliding roof) or panoramic
sliding roof (with code (413) Panoramic glass sunroof with top sliding sunroof) the interior compartment is not
monitored during activated rain closing.

Function sequence for alarm triggering from communication loss to alarm siren

The alarm siren is actuated cyclically by the rear SAM control unit via the rear SAM-LIN. If a reply to this
request is not received within t = 1 s by the alarm siren (no communication), the rear SAM control unit and
alarm siren trigger an alarm. If the alarm siren detects a loss in the supply voltage, it also outputs an acoustic
alarm automatically.

An alarm is only repeated if a new alarm event is registered after the active acoustic alarm was terminated.

Function sequence for emergency opening

The trunk lid emergency opening switch (S88/10) ensures that the trunk lid can also be opened from the inside
of the trunk lid when the vehicle is locked. The rear SAM control unit reads in and evaluates the trunk lid
emergency opening switch. The ATA triggers an alarm when the trunk lid emergency release switch is actuated.

Function sequence for alarm output

The following components for the exterior lights are actuated to output a visual alarm:
 by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1):
 Left turn signal light (E1e5)

 Right turn signal light (E2e5)

 by the rear SAM control unit:


 Left turn signal light (E3e1)

 Right turn signal light (E4e1)

 by the left door control unit (model 216) or left front door control unit (model 221):
 Left outside mirror turn signal light (E6/5)

 by the right door control unit (model 216) or right front door control unit (model 221):
 Right outside mirror turn signal lamp (E6/6)

The acoustic alarm is output by the rear SAM control unit actuating the alarm siren via the rear SAM-LIN. The
interior illumination is switched on by the overhead control panel control unit (N70).

Function sequence for alarm interruption

An alarm is interrupted by opening the central locking (CL) of the vehicle with the transmitter key (A8/1) or by
switching on circuit 15C (valid transmitter key inserted into EIS control unit (N73)).

The EIS control unit transmits the corresponding signal via the interior CAN to the rear SAM control unit,
which then terminates the activated alarm.

Shown on model 221

Alarm actuation by opening a door, the trunk lid or the engine hood
Function requirements:

 Anti-theft alarm system (ATA) is activated.

Function

If a switch changes from the non-actuated state, an alarm is triggered. The rear SAM control unit starts an
acoustic and visual alarm.

If a locked vehicle is unlocked with the mechanical key and the door is opened, the ATA triggers an alarm.

Alarm actuation due to change of vehicle inclination

Function requirements

 ATA activated
 Tow-away protection not previously deactivated

Function

The rear SAM control unit checks with the inclination sensor integrated into the alarm siren the vehicle
inclination a number of times each second.

If an inclination change is recognized, an acoustic and optic alarm is triggered.

Each time the ATA is activated, the inclination sensor determines a new reference position with which the
relative vehicle inclination is compared during the activated time period. If the maximum vehicle inclination in
relation to the reference position is exceeded, an alarm is triggered, at the earliest, 25 s after arming. If the
vehicle inclination changes very slowly (e.g. leaky tire), the reference position adapts to the current vehicle
position to prevent inadvertent activation.

Alarm actuation by motion in the interior compartment (with code (882) Interior monitoring (with ATA
only))

Function requirements

 ATA activated
 Interior protection not previously deactivated

Function

If motion is detected in the vehicle interior by the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor and is considered to be alarm-
relevant, an acoustic and visual alarm is triggered.

Rain closing feature (except )


(On model 216 and on model 221 with code (414) Power glass tilting/sliding roof)

If the SR rain closing and the interior protection features are activated and the sliding/tilting roof (SR) is open,
the signals from the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor are ignored by the rear SAM control unit and no alarm is
triggered. The remaining ATA sources remain armed and ready for operation.

After completing rain closing, the rear SAM control unit again allows the ultrasonic echo sounder sensor to
trigger an alarm. The ultrasonic echo sounder sensor is ignored only once for rain closing during each arming
phase.

Alarm actuation by communication breakdown to alarm signal horn

Function requirement

 ATA activated

Function

The alarm signal horn is polled cyclically by the rear SAM control unit If no answer is received from the alarm
signal horn by the rear SAM control unit within approx. 1 s, an alarm is triggered. The alarm is only output
visually, as the alarm signal horn cannot be addressed

If the alarm signal horn detects a loss of the supply voltage or communication, it automatically outputs an
acoustic alarm.

Alarm actuation caused by power loss

Function requirement

 ATA activated

Function

If the voltage supply is interrupted when the ATA is armed, an acoustic alarm is triggered.

The power is supplied by the additional battery of the alarm signal horn The rest of the ATA system is out of
operation.

Special case: Alarm actuation in the event of undervoltage

The operating voltage of the ATA is between 8.0 V and 16 V. It can drop below a value of 8.0 V when the
battery is continuously discharged If the operating voltage drops below 8.0 V, it is no longer possible to trigger
a visual alarm. Only an acoustic alarm is triggered. The power is supplied by the additional battery of the alarm
signal horn

Repeated alarm
An alarm is only repeated if a new alarm event is registered after the active acoustic alarm was terminated.

Triggering the alarm again results in an extension of the visual and/or acoustic alarm. In the case of repetition
the same activation times apply as for a new actuation.

Alarm memory

Triggered alarms (max. 5) are stored in the rear SAM control unit and can be read out with STAR
DIAGNOSIS.

TRIGGERING ALARM WITH PANIC SWITCH, FUNCTION - GF80.50-P-3014LEU

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW]) with CODE (763) Radio remote control with panic switch

General function requirements

 C. 15C OFF

Alarm triggered by panic switch, general

With the panic alarm it is possible to trigger the visual and acoustic antitheft alarm (ATA) with the transmitter
key (A8/1) (e.g. in an emergency).
Function sequence when panic alarm and ATA alarm are triggered simultaneously:

The panic alarm has priority over the ATA alarm.

If both alarms are actuated the alarm with the higher priority is output and the ATA alarm is suppressed. This
alarm is still actuated in the background. If one of the two alarms is terminated or is interrupted, the other is still
actuated.

The alarm triggering with the panic switch comprises the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for actuating panic alarm


 Function sequence for panic alarm output
 Interrupting function sequence for panic alarm

Function sequence for actuating panic alarm

When the panic alarm button on the transmitter key is actuated fort < or = 2 s, it transmits a radio signal via the
rear window antenna amplifier module (A2/12) to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module
(N10/2) and relays it to the EIS control unit (N73).

Parallel to the radio signal, an infrared signal is transmitted to the driver door infrared sensor (B58) (precise
aiming required).

This signal is read in by the Left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1)
(model 221) and is transmitted to the EIS control unit.

In both cases, the EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the transmitter key.

If the access authorization is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the "Activate panic alarm" command to the
rear SAM control unit.

It then transmits the requests for visual and acoustic alarm via interior CAN.

Additional function requirements for panic alarm output

 Panic alarm triggered

Function sequence for panic alarm output

The alarm is output by the exterior lights, interior illumination as well as the alarm siren (H3/1).

The acoustic alarm is output by the rear SAM control unit actuating the alarm siren via the rear SAM-LIN.

The interior illumination is switched on by the overhead control panel control unit (N70).

The following components of the exterior lights are actuated:


 by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1):
 Left turn signal light (E1e5)

 Right turn signal light (E2e5)

 by the rear SAM control unit:


 Left turn signal light (E3e1)

 Right turn signal light (E4e1)

 by the left door control unit (model 216) or left front door control unit (model 221):
 Left outside mirror turn signal light (E6/5)

 by the right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) or right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221):
 Right outside mirror turn signal light (E6/6)

The duration of the visual and acoustic panic alarm is equal, however, stored separately in the alarm siren and
rear SAM control unit.

Interrupting function sequence for panic alarm

The panic alarm is interrupted when the panic alarm button on the transmitter key is actuated briefly.

The function sequence for interrupting the panic alarm is the same as for actuating the panic alarm.

Activating panic alarm

Function requirements:

 Circuit 15C OFF (no circuit switched)

Function

When the panic alarm button is actuated on the transmitter key for approx. 2 s, it transmits a signal to the rear
radio signal, an infrared signal is transmitted to the driver door infrared sensor (precise aiming required). This
signal is read in by the corresponding door control unit and transferred to the EIS control unit.

In both cases, the EIS control unit checks the access authorization of the transmitter key. If the access
authorization is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command "Activate panic alarm" to the rear SAM
control unit, which then actuates a visual and acoustic alarm.

The duration of the visual and acoustic panic alarm is equal. On vehicles with panic alarm, the interior
illumination is not activated as it is the case with the ATA.

The panic alarm has priority over the ATA.

Deactivate panic alarm

Function

The panic alarm is interrupted when the panic alarm button on the transmitter key is actuated briefly. The
function sequence is identical to the panic alarm activation function.

The panic alarm function and the alarm duration are programmable.

Function sequence when panic alarm and ATA are actuated simultaneously

If both alarms are actuated, the panic alarm with the higher priority is activated and the ATA is suppressed. The
ATA remains activated in the background.

If the panic alarm is completed or interrupted, the ATA suppressed up to that time is activated. A coding variant
in the rear SAM control unit offers an exception, with which the ATA is interrupted as soon as the panic alarm
is terminated.

Positions of the transmitter key (A8/1) in the EZS control unit (N73):
Fig. 33: Identifying Positions Of Transmitter Key In EZS Control Unit
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 30 ON
 Valid transmitter key inserted into EZS control unit

Drive authorization system, stage 3 (DAS 3), general

The DAS 3 allows the ignition to be switched on and the engine to be started. DAS 3 is a compound system
consisting of control units, each of which calculate and compare the drive authorization code independently. If
the check in question is valid, each component is released automatically.

The following control units are integral parts of the DAS 3 system:

 EZS control unit

 ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine) or CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine)
 EGS control unit (N15/3) (with transmission 722.6) or fully integrated transmission control unit (Y3/8n4)
(with transmission 722.9)
 Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80)

The DAS 3 system comprises the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for switching circuit 15C (transmitter key in position "A")
 Function sequence for switching circuit 15R (transmitter key in position "B")
 Function sequence for switching circuit 15 (transmitter key in position "C")
 Function sequence for switching circuit 50 (transmitter key in position "D")
 Deactivating circuits
 Keylock function

Function sequence for switching circuit 15C (transmitter key in position "A")

When the transmitter key is inserted into the EZS control unit, it switches on the inductive power transmission
for power supply to the transmitter key. Encrypted data is exchanged via infrared signals between the
transmitter key and the EZS control unit for identification of the transmitter key.

The identification code is computed in dialog between transmitter key and the EZS control unit using the so-
called Hash method.

The EZS control unit transmits the hash value of the transmitter key to all other control units involved.

Check, release and feedback is performed separately by each control unit.

Hash function:

The hash method is single-way encryption which prevents the vehicle from being started with an invalid
transmitter key. With this method a new number combination is calculated from the old number combination. It
is not possible to calculate vice versa. Number combinations already calculated cannot be calculated again.

The next Hash values are computed in the EZS control unit. After completion of the calculation, the energy
transmission is switched off. After positive identification the following is performed:

 Key position recognition switched on


 Waking up interior CAN
 Output of circuit 15C

The vehicle can also be started when the batteries of the transmitter key are discharged.

The function keys of the transmitter key are not active as long as the EZS control unit is inserted

If an invalid transmitter key is used, the message "Key does not belong to vehicle" is indicated in the instrument
cluster (A1).

Function sequence for switching circuit 15R (transmitter key in position "B")

Circuit 15R is actuated by turning transmitter key to position "B". The status of circuit 15R is output to the
interior CAN.

The transmitter key can no longer be removed in position "B".

Function sequence for switching circuit 15 (transmitter key in position "C")

Circuit 15 is actuated by turning transmitter key to position "C". The status of circuit 15 is output to chassis
CAN and interior CAN. Power-intensive consumers are supplied by circuit 15X.

Parallel to this, an encrypted DAS 3 request is transmitted to the ME-SFI control unit or CDI control unit,
electronic transmission control unit or fully integrated transmission control unit and intelligent servo module for
DIRECT SELECT.

Function sequence for switching circuit 50 (transmitter key in position "D")


The starter (M1) is actuated via the ME control unit or CDI control unit by turning the transmitter key to
position "D". The status for circuit 50 is output to the interior CAN or chassis CAN.

Circuit 15X is removed from the interior CAN and the chassis CAN until circuit 50 is off again and the engine
is running (time control, if applicable).

When circuit 15X is switched off, all electrical consumers are switched off to facilitate starting the engine.

The transmitter key automatically returns to position "C" when released

Deactivating circuits

Turning transmitter key back to left switches off the engine. The following functions are implemented in the
EZS control unit:

Transmitter key in position "B"

 Switch off signals circuit 15 and circuit 15X

Transmitter key in position "A"

 Circuit 15R Off


 Transmitter key can be removed when removing the transmitter key, the transmission is shifted to
position "P")

The EZS control unit can request a new check for identification of the transmitter key during restart without
removing the transmitter key.

Keylock function

The EZS control unit transmits the request to the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT for the
transmission to automatically shift to the "Park position" when

 The transmitter key is removed from the EZS control unit


 The driver or front passenger door is opened (only with code (889) Keyless-Go)

Then the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT shifts the transmission to the "Park position".

If the communication is interrupted or the EZS control unit or the intelligent servo module for DIRECT
SELECT is defective, actuation is accomplished over the emergency path. The EZS control unit on-board

Description

The drive authorization system stage 3 (DAS 3) is a system combination of control units consisting of:

 EIS control unit (EZS),

 ME-SFI control unit or CDI control unit


 Fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit or electronic transmission control (EGS) control
unit
 Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT

Hash function

The encrypted base module of the drive authorization system, stage 3 (DAS 3) is a so-called "Hash" function.
The most important property of the "Hash" function is the one-way characteristic. This means that by using the
"Hash" function, a number can easily be calculated from another number. It is not possible to calculate vice
versa.

The encrypted data is exchanged between the transmitter key and the EIS control unit via infrared signal. The
code is computed in dialog between the transmitter key and the EIS control unit using the Hash method.

The corresponding Hash value of the transmitter key is transmitted to control units by the EIS control unit.
Check, release and feedback is performed separately by each control unit
Up to eight transmitter keys can be used simultaneously. A special memory cell is available for each
transmitter key in all relevant components.

Function

The transmitter key identifies itself to the EIS control unit when inserted into the EIS control unit. If identified
positively, the lift solenoid in the rotary lock is enabled in the EIS control unit. The transmitter key can now be
turned.

The function keys in the transmitter key are no longer active. When turned, the transmitter key is secured
against removal.

An encrypted request is sent to the drive authorization by the:

 ME-SFI control unit or CDI control unit,


 fully integrated transmission control (VGS) control unit or electronic transmission control (EGS) control
unit, and
 intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT

to the EIS control unit. Each of these control units checks separately whether the data package is enabled and
provides the EIS control unit with a feedback. During this communication, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit serves
primarily as a gateway between the chassis CAN and drive train CAN.

Transmitter key in position "0"

 The inductive energy transmission to the voltage supply of the transmitter key is switched on.
 Encrypted data exchange between transmitter key and EIS control unit for identification.
 Calculation of next hash value in transmitter key
 After the calculation is completed, the transmitter key signals that the "power supply is switched off".

After positive identification the following is performed:

 Release of rotary lock in EIS control unit for transmitter key


 Key position recognition switched on.
 Wake-up of chassis CAN and interior CAN
 Signal output of circuit 15C

Transmitter key in position "I"

 Actuation of circuit 15R


 Status output of circuit 15R from EIS control unit to chassis CAN and interior CAN

Transmitter key in position "II"


 Circuit 15 is actuated
 Status output of circuit 15 and circuit 15X from EIS control unit to chassis CAN and interior CAN

Transmitter key in position "III"

 Actuation of starter (M1) by relay circuit 50, starter (N10/1kH) via ME-SFI control unit and CDI control
unit
 Output of status c. 50 to chassis CAN and interior CAN
 Circuit 15X is actuated by chassis CAN and interior CAN until circuit 50 is off again and the engine is
running (circuit 61)

The transmitter key automatically returns to position "II" when released.

Take vehicle out of operation

When the transmitter key is turned back to the left, the engine is switched off and the circuit status is changed
correspondingly. If the transmitter key is in position "I", circuit 15R remains switched on. If the transmitter key
is in position "0", the transmitter key can be removed.

Keylock, function

Conditions of operation

 Vehicle at rest

Function

The EIS control unit transmits the request to automatically shift the transmission to the "Park position" when

 the transmitter key is removed from the EIS control unit, or


 when the driver or front passenger door is opened (only with code (889) Keyless Go)

to the servo module for DIRECT SELECT. It shifts the transmission to the "Park position".

Emergency function

If the communication is interrupted or the EIS control unit or the servo module for DIRECT SELECT is
defective, the emergency path is actuated. The EIS control unit on-board power supply voltage is switched to
the emergency path. A spring accumulator is actuated in the servo module for DIRECT SELECT and the
transmission is moved to the "Park position". The electrical and mechanical system in the servo module for
DIRECT SELECT are synchronized automatically after reproducing the functionality.

LOCKING/UNLOCKING, FUNCTION - GF80.61-P-2008LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 with CODE (889) KEYLESS-GO as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Valid transmitter key (A8/1) outside of vehicle (maximum distance to one of the controls s = 1 m)
 Terminal 15C OFF

Locking/unlocking, general

Locking/unlocking allows the vehicle to be opened and closed.

The following control elements are available:

To lock and unlock (integrated into door handles):

 Left KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/1) (model 216)


 Left front KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/1) (model 221)
 Right KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/2) (model 216)
 Right front KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/2) (model 221)
 Left rear KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/3) (model 221)
 Right rear KEYLESS-GO sensor unit (B67/4) (model 221)

To open trunk:

 Trunk lid external operation switch (S88/8)


To lock:

 TLC button (S62/26) (model 221 with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC), model 216)

The locking/unlocking functions comprise the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for preadjustment of unlocking mode


 Function sequence for unlocking
 Function sequence for locking
 Function sequence for visual feedback (without code (494) USA version)
 Function sequence for acoustic feedback (as of 1.9.10)
 Function sequence for unlocking and opening trunk lid
 Function sequence for closing and locking trunk lid (model 221 with code (881) Remote trunk
closing (RTS), model 216)

The sensor units are switched off when c. 15 is switched on. Activation takes place when circuit 15 is
switched off and then a door is opened.

The inner capacitive sensor is switched off after t = 72 h to save the on-board electrical system battery (G1).

After switching off, the vehicle can no longer be unlocked by touching the sensor unit (recognized by the inner
capacitive sensor). The sensor unit must be pulled

Function sequence for preadjustment of unlocking mode

Basically the following types of unlocking are differentiated:

 Global unlocking:

The entire vehicle is unlocked gripping and pulling a sensor unit.

 Selective unlocking (only possible on driver door):

Only the driver door and the fuel filler flap are unlocked by gripping and pulling the sensor unit on the driver
door. If the transmitter key is set to selective unlocking and the triggering location for unlocking is not the
driver door sensor unit, the vehicle is unlocked globally.

Simultaneously pressing the lock/unlock buttons on the transmitter key for t = 5 s, switches the system between
two types of unlocking. The LED on the transmitter key comes on twice to confirm this change.

Unlocking possibilities:

 Grip any sensor unit


 Grip and pull any sensor unit
Locking possibilities:

 Touching outside of sensor unit


 Actuating comfort sensor on sensor unit

Function sequence for unlocking

(example global unlocking at left front door)

If the sensor unit on the driver door is gripped, this is recognized by the inner capacitive sensor. This signal is
read in by the KEYLESS-GO control unit (N69/5).

The KEYLESS-GO control then actuates the left door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/39) (model 216) or left rear
door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/39) (model 221), which transmits a wake-up signal to the transmitter key.

In addition the KEYLESS-GO control unit causes the following antennas to transmit a location finding signal:

 trunk KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/35)


 Left front door KEYLESS-GO antenna (model 216)
 Right door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/41) (model 216)
 Right rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (model 221)
 Right rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (model 221)
 Center console KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/60)
 Interior compartment KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/61) (up to 31.8.10)

The locating finding signals are always transmitted by all KEYLESS-GO antennas, regardless of the transmitter
key setting (selective/global). The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the
rear window antenna amplifier module (A2/12), which relays the data to the KEYLESS-GO control unit.

The KEYLESS-GO control unit relays the access authorization code to the EIS control unit (N73) via the
interior CAN (CAN B). If the access authorization code is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command
"Open central locking" to the:

 Rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/)N10/2
 Left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) Left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221)
 Right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) Right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221)
 Left rear door control unit (N69/3) (model 221)
 Right rear door control unit (N69/4) (model 221)

They then unlock the following components:

 Left door lock unit (A85) (model 216) or Left front door lock unit (A85) (model 221)
 Right door lock unit (A85/1) (model 216) or Right front door lock unit (A85/1) (model 221)
 Left rear door lock unit (A85/3) (on model 221)
 Right rear door lock unit (A85/4) (on model 221)
 Fuel filler flap CL [ZV] motor (M14/10)

If the driver door sensor unit is pulled within t = 0.5 s after the central locking is unlocked, this is sensed by the
Hall sensor in the driver door sensor and transmitted to the KEYLESS-GO control unit. The latter then actuates
the left front opening assist motor (A85m2) (model 221) or left opening assist motor (A85m2) (model 216).

When the opening assist motor is actuated, the rotary tumbler "Opens" and the door pops open.

The external operation switch is enabled to unlock the trunk lid by the rear SAM control unit.

If the transmitter key is set to selective opening and the sensor unit in the driver door is gripped, only the
driver door and the tank flap are unlocked.

Function sequence for locking

The outer capacitive sensor in the sensor unit recognizes if a door handle is gripped from the outside.

The further function sequence is performed analog to global unlocking described previously. However, the
opening assist motor is not actuated.

Function sequence for visual feedback (without code (494) USA version)

After successful locking or unlocking, the turn signal lamps flash as visual feedback.

The function is controlled by the rear SAM control unit, transmitting the turn signal as blinkmaster with the
interior CAN:

 Locking: flashes three times


 Unlocking: flashes once

For further information on visual feedback see separate function description on exterior lights.

If a door is still open when locking, there is no visual feedback.

Function sequence for acoustic feedback (as of 1.9.10)

Select and activate the acoustic feedback in the instrument cluster (A1) via the left multifunction steering wheel
button group (S110) and right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111). The status of the acoustic
feedback is transmitted by the instrument cluster via the central CAN (CAN F) to the central gateway control
unit (N93) and from there to the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) via the interior
CAN. If the acoustic feedback function is activated and the successful locking and unlocking, an acoustic
feedback is output by momentarily actuating the left horn (H2) and right horn (H2/1).
The left multifunction steering wheel button group and right multifunction steering wheel button group is
read via the steering LIN (LIN E1) by the steering column tube module (N80).

If the transmitter key is valid and the acoustic feedback is activated, the EIS control unit transmits the command
"Lock or unlock" via the interior CAN to front SAM control unit, which momentarily actuates the horns via the
horn relay (N10/1kF).

 Locking: three times


 Unlocking: once

If a door is still open when locking, there is no acoustic feedback.

Function sequence for unlocking and opening trunk lid

The rear SAM control unit recognizes when the trunk lid external operation switch is actuated and signals it to
the KEYLESS-GO control unit via interior CAN. The KEYLESS-GO control unit then actuates the trunk
KEYLESS-GO antenna, which transmits a wake up signal to the transmitter key.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and position to the KEYLESS-GO control unit via
the rear window antenna amplifier module.

The access authorization code is transmitted by the KEYLESS-GO control unit to the EIS control unit via the
interior CAN. The access authorization code is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command "Unlock" to
the rear SAM control unit. This signal enables the trunk lid external operation switch. The rear SAM control
unit actuates the trunk lid CL motor (M14/7) and opens the trunk lid. The doors remain still unlocked.

The trunk is locked automatically after closing.

Function sequence for closing and locking trunk lid (model 221 with code (881) Remote trunk closing
(RTS), model 216)

Actuation of the TLC button is recognized by the TLC control unit (N121) and relayed to the KEYLESS-GO
control unit via the interior CAN.

The further function sequence is performed analog to unlocking described previously. The trunk lid is closed
hydraulically by the TLC control unit only when the vehicle is locked.

The precise sequence is described in the function "Remote trunk closing (RTC)".

On vehicles with code (551) Anti-theft alarm (ATA), the anti-theft alarm (ATA) is activated or deactivated
with each Model e of locking or unlocking.

 Left rear comfort sensor (B67/3b1) (model 221)

 Right rear comfort sensor (B67/4b1) (model 221)

Function sequence for unlocking

(Explained on left front door on model 221 as an example)

The inner capacitive sensor in the left front Keyless Go sensor unit recognizes if a door handle is gripped and
signals this to the Keyless Go control unit which transmits a wake-up signal to the transmitter key via the left
rear door Keyless Go antenna.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module, which relays it to the Keyless Go control unit. The access authorization code is transmitted to the EIS
control unit via the interior CAN. If it is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command "Unlock CL" to the
door control units and to the rear SAM control unit. They actuate the corresponding motors in the central
locking (CL) to unlock. If a door handle is pulled within 0.5 s after the CL is unlocked, the Hall sensor in the
door handle senses this and sends a corresponding signal to the Keyless Go control unit, which then actuates the
left front opening assist motor. When the left front opening assist motor is actuated, the rotary tumbler "Opens"
and the door pops open.

Function sequence for locking

(Explained on left front door on model 221 as an example)

The outer capacitive sensor in the left front Keyless Go sensor unit recognizes if a door handle is gripped from
the outside. Further sequence same as when unlocking, however, the CL motors are actuated to lock.

The convenience closing function via Keyless Go (KG) is described in the "Convenience feature function".

Switching over from "global" to "selective" unlocking.


If the unlock and lock buttons on the transmitter key are pressed simultaneously for 5 seconds, a change
between the "global" and "selective" functions takes place. The indicator lamp on the transmitter key comes on
to confirm this change.

 Global unlocking

The entire vehicle can be unlocked by gripping and pulling a door handle.

 Selective unlocking (only possible on driver door handle)

Only the driver door and the fuel filler flap can be unlocked by gripping and pulling the driver door handle. If,
however, the transmitter key is set to selective unlocking and the triggering location for unlocking is not the
driver door handle, the vehicle is unlocked globally.

Unlocking function via trunk lid external operation switch

Function sequence

The rear SAM control unit recognizes when the trunk lid external operation switch is actuated and signals it to
the KEYLESS-GO control unit via interior CAN.

It transmits a wake-up signal to the transmitter key via the left trunk Keyless Go antenna.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module, which relays it to the Keyless Go control unit.

The access authorization code is transmitted to the EIS control unit via the interior CAN. If it is valid, the EIS
control unit sends the command "Unlock CL" to the rear SAM control unit, which actuates the trunk lid CL
motor and opens the rotary tumbler.

On vehicles with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC) the automatic mode is stopped when the trunk lid
external operation switch is actuated again; if actuated anew, the procedure is continued.

If the trunk lid Keyless Go button is pressed, this is recognized by the rear SAM control unit and relayed to the
Keyless Go control unit. It transmits a wake-up signal to the transmitter key via the left trunk Keyless Go
antenna.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module, which relays it to the Keyless Go control unit. The access authorization code is transmitted to the EIS
control unit via the interior CAN.

If it is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the command "Lock CL" to the door control units and the rear SAM
control unit. They then actuate the corresponding CL motors to lock.

The function is accomplished regardless of whether the trunk lid is open or closed.

Locking function via RTC button (with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC))

If the TLC button is actuated when the trunk lid is open, a signal is transmitted from the TLC control unit to the
KEYLESS-GO control unit via the interior CAN.

It transmits a wake-up signal to the transmitter key via the left trunk Keyless Go antenna.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module, which relays it to the Keyless Go control unit.

The access authorization code is transmitted to the EIS control unit via the interior CAN. If it is valid, the EIS

Function requirements, general

 The transmitter key (A8/1) is located in the vehicle interior

Engine start/stop, general

The engine start/stop function allows to start and stop the engine.

The engine start/stop function comprises the following subfunctions.

 Function sequence for starting engine


 Function sequence for circuit activation
 Function sequence for stopping engine

Additional function requirements for starting engine

 DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) is in the "P" or "N" position.
 Brake pedal actuated (Signal from ESP control unit (N47-5) (except model 221.095/195) or signal from

Function sequence for starting engine


access authorization code and transmits the signal "Start engine" to the KEYLESS-GO control unit (N69/5) via
the interior CAN (CAN B). The KEYLESS-GO control unit causes the following antennas to transmit a wake-
up and location finding signal to the transmitter key:

 trunk KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/35)


 Left door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/39) (model 216)
 Left rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/39) (model 221)
 Right door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/41) (model 216)
 Right rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/41) (model 221)
 Center console KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/60)
 Interior compartment KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/61) (up to 31.8.10)

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module (A2/12), which relays it to the KEYLESS-GO control unit. The access authorization code is transmitted
to the EIS control unit via the interior CAN.

If the access authorization code is valid and the transmitter key is located in the vehicle interior, c. 15R and c.
15 are switched on and the motor for the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (on gasoline engine) or CDI control unit
(N3/9) (on diesel engine) is started.

Error messages in instrument cluster (A1):

If a transmitter key is not recognized in the interior compartment when starting, the instrument cluster indicates
"Key not recognized" and the start attempt is interrupted (circuit 15R and circuit 15 remain off).

 If, during a start attempt, the gear selector switch DIRECT SELECT is not in position "P" or "N", a
corresponding note is indicated in the instrument cluster.

The display request in the instrument cluster is transmitted by the EIS control unit to the central gateway
control unit (N93) via the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit routes this request to the instrument
cluster via the central CAN (CAN F).

Each time the vehicle is started or if a door is opened with the engine running, the EIS control unit requests the
KEYLESS-GO control unit to check the transmitter key.

If then a transmitter key is not recognized in the passenger compartment, the instrument cluster displays the
message "Key not recognized" in red and a warning tone is output via the warning buzzer (A1h1).

Function sequence for circuit activation

If the foot brake is not depressed when the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button is actuated, only circuit 15R is
switched on. Repeated actuation activates circuit 15. Further repeated actuation switches circuit 15R and circuit
15 off. If the driver door is closed, circuit 15C remains active for t = 30 min.

Function sequence for stopping engine


When the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button is pressed, the signal "Stop engine" is transmitted to the EIS control
unit and then c. 15 is switched off and the motor is switched off by the ME-SFI control unit or CDI control unit.
If the driver door is closed, circuit 15R remains active for t = 30 min.

Switching off engine depending on vehicle speed:

 Speed v < 3 km/h: Switch off immediately


 Speed v > 3 km/h: Switch-off occurs only after pressing KEYLESS-GO start/stop button for longer than t
>3s

EIS control unit.

Start engine, function


Function requirements

 The transmitter key is located in the vehicle interior


 DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) is in the "P" or "N" position.
 Foot brake actuated

Function

When the start/stop button in the EIS control unit is pressed, a request is transmitted to the Keyless Go control
unit. It then transmits locating signals via the center console Keyless Go antenna and the interior Keyless Go
antenna to allow the transmitter key to determine its position.

Simultaneously with this procedure, the Keyless Go control unit requests the transmitter key to transmits an
access authorization code.

The transmitter key transmits its access authorization code and its position to the rear window antenna amplifier
module, which relays it to the Keyless Go control unit; the access authorization code is sent to the EIS control
unit via the interior CAN. If valid, circuit 15R and circuit 15 are switched on and the engine is started.

Possible error messages in the instrument cluster if function prerequisites are not fulfilled

 If a transmitter key is not recognized in the interior compartment when starting, the instrument cluster
indicates "Key not recognized" and the start attempt is interrupted (c. 15R and c. 15 remain off).

 If the DIRECT SELECT gear selection switch is not in position "P" or "N" when attempting to start, the
instrument cluster indicates:

"To start. Select drive position P or N".

Activating c.15C, 15R or 15 without engine start

If the foot brake is not depressed when the start/stop button is actuated, only circuit 15R is switched on.
Repeated actuation activates circuit 15. Further repeated actuation switches circuit 15R and circuit 15 off. If the
driver door is closed, c. 15C remains active for approx. 30 minutes.

Shut off engine, function

The engine can be switched off any time via the start/stop button

Function

The signal "Switch off engine" is transmitted to the EIS control unit by pressing the start/stop button and then
the engine is switched off via circuit 15. With the driver door closed, circuit 15C remains active for approx. 30
minutes.

Switch-off function of engine depending on vehicle speed


 Speed below 3 km/h: Switch off occurs immediately
 Speed above 3 km/h: Switch off occurs only after pressing start/stop button for an extended period
(approx. 3 seconds).

Starting requests, function

Each time the vehicle is started or if a door is opened with the engine running, the EIS control unit requests the
Keyless Go control unit to check the transmitter key.

If a transmitter key is not recognized in the passenger compartment, the instrument cluster indicates: "Key not
recognized".

A digital-vernier caliper is required to determine the shim size.

Clean

1. Thoroughly clean the faces and contact surfaces on the transfer case drive pinion case, thrust plate on the
park pawl gear, transmission output shaft, guide sleeve and sealing surface on transmission housing.

Do not use any sharp-edged tools or abrasive paper as otherwise the sealing surface shall be damaged.
Pay attention to absolute cleanliness otherwise an incorrect measurement will occur which will result
in destruction of the automatic transmission.

Measure overall height (dimension a)

2. Measure and note down overall height (dimension a) using vernier caliper (01) as shown.

Overall height (dimension a): Measure from guide sleeve (3) through transfer case drive pinion (4) to
the parallel gauge (02).

Fig. 9: Measuring Drive Pinion Overall Height

Measure partial height 1 (dimension b)

3 Measure and note down partial height 1 (dimension b) using vernier caliper (01) as shown.

Partial height 1 (dimension b): Measure from face on transmission output shaft (7) to thrust plate on
park pawl gear (6).

When measuring partial height 1 (dimension b), neither the guide sleeve (3) nor the shim may be
installed.
Fig. 10: Measuring Transmission Output Shaft Partial Height 1

Measure partial height 2 (dimension c)

4 Mount transfer case drive pinion (4) onto transmission output shaft (7) and check it is correctly seated
in the transmission housing (5).
5 Measure and note down partial height 2 (dimension c) using vernier caliper (01) as shown.

Partial height 2 (dimension c): Measure from face on transfer case drive pinion (4) to face on
transmission output shaft (7).

When measuring partial height 2 (dimension c), neither the guide sleeve (3) nor the shim (27s) may be
installed.

When measuring partial height 2 (dimension c) make sure that the vernier caliper (01) is located on the
transmission output shaft's (7) face and that it is not measured on the threaded hole's chamfer.

Fig. 11: Measuring Drive Pinion Partial Height 2


6 Calculate shim (27s) size :

The following values must be added up first and then the overall height (dimension a) subtracted from
the result:

+ Partial height 1 (dimension b)

+ Partial height 2 (dimension c)

+ Specified play/axial play check values (dimension: 0.2 to 0.4 mm)

- Overall height (dimension a)

= Shim size (27s)

Fig. 12: Identifying Guide Sleeve, Transmission Housing And Shim

Calculation example for shim (27s) size:

+81.97 mm (partial height 1 (dimension b))

+85.73 mm (partial height 2 (dimension c))

+0.3 mm (specified play/axial play check values)

-166.47 mm (overall height (dimension a))

= 1.53 mm (shim size (27s))

7 Adjust axial play, to do so fit the determined shim (27s) over the transmission output shaft (7) onto the
thrust plate on the park pawl gear (6).
Shims (27s) are available in sizes ranging from 1.4 - 2.1 mm in steps of 0.1 mm. In the above-
mentioned calculation example a shim size of 1.5 mm is installed.

Before the clearance measurement the disks must be immersed in automatic transmission fluid for at least
one hour so that the friction lining can swell up.

1. Using a feeler gauge determine the clearance at three points between the circlip (133a) and externally
toothed plate (133c).

For the measuring process the circlip (133a) must abut the upper contact surface of the groove in the
external plate carrier.

2. Remove circlip (133a) and determine its thickness.


3. Adjust clearance; to do this, install circlip (133a) of appropriate thickness.

The circlips (133a) are available as a replacement part with a thickness of 3.2 to 4.7 mm. The graduation is

GENERAL INFORMATION
INFORMATION ON PREVENTING DAMAGE TO ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS DUE TO
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE - AH54.00-P-0001-01A

All models

Electrostatic charge

Every contact and each physical separation of materials or any movement of solid substances, fluids or
particulate loaded gases can generate electrostatic charges. Plastics generally produce the highest electrostatic
charge.

We come across electrostatic charge or discharge in lots of everyday situations, e.g. with:

 Combs
 Walking on carpets or plastic floors
 Putting on and removing textiles made with synthetic fiber
 Disembarking from the vehicle
 Contact between various electrostatically chargeable packaging materials in shelves or in the transport
container

The following electrostatic discharge (Electro Static Discharge (ESD)) can be so strong that a small electric
shock is detected. Even the smallest discharges which people cannot detect can cause lasting damage to
electronic components and control units.

Effects and consequences of ESD

Electronic components and control units are very sensitive to ESD. The damage is often not immediately
obvious, but becomes apparent some time later. In order to avoid failures and damage due to ESD in vehicle
electronics, various procedures and safety precautions must be taken into account and followed. Risks of
damage occur during transport, handling, testing, removal and installation of electronic components in
production as well as during repair work.

The following electronic components listed as an example can be damaged by ESD:

 Airbag components
 Control units, in particular their bus connections (Control Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN),
local interconnect network (LIN) etc.)
 Sensors
 Antenna amplifier
 Receivers and displays (Radio, TV, GPS, telephone etc.)

Modes of behavior and safety precautions

 Electrostatic discharge from the fitter (e.g. due to brief contact with the vehicle body).
 Suitable clothing, e.g. made of cotton.
 Wear ESD safety shoes with conductive soles.
 Keep workplace clean, remove unnecessary objects such as common plastics.
 Special anti-static seat cushion protectors must be used when performing repair work inside a vehicle.
 Leave replacement parts in the original packaging for as long as possible, Do not cut open seals, but cut
open carefully.
 The ESD workplace must conform to the ESD guidelines. ESD protection

gotis://E 82 04.0

 Before unpacking, discharge ESD protective packaging at the ESD workplace.


 Avoidance of contact with electrostatic chargeable materials such as PE, PVC, styrofoam.
 Use only original packaging or specially labeled and defined packaging and transport materials.
 Electronic components which have been removed must be put down on an ESD workplace.
 Touch connectors on electronic components and in the wiring harness on the housing only. Do not touch
the pins and contacts!
 Electronic components must be installed before they are connected so that potential equalization with the
body can take place.
 Shelves and worktables must stand directly on the floor, there must not be any insulating materials
between the base of the shelves/feet and the floor. If the above mentioned insulators cannot be removed,
the shelves and work tables must be grounded (e.g. low-resistance electrical connection/line from metal
shelf to a heating pipe).
 Put down conductive transport container/box in a non insulated manner (e.g. on a wooden pallet),
otherwise no potential equalization takes place.
 Do not place control units and electronic components removed from the vehicle on electrostatically
chargeable materials, such as PE, PVC, styrofoam. The electrostatic charge is transferred to the control
unit or electronic component. An ESD service kit or a connected ESD table mat must be used.

Training

We strongly advise that each company should appoint a trained ESD officer in accordance with DIN EN 61340-
5-1.

The ESD officer can hold employee training courses.

The objective of the training course measures is to familiarize the employees with the essential difficulties and
 Creation of discharging
 Reasoning behind safety precautions
 Effects and consequences of ESD
 ESD rules of conduct and safety precautions

Returning electronic components in warranty and goodwill cases

When returning electronic components it is absolutely essential to observe the procedure and safety precautions
listed. Electrostatic charge or discharge mean the original fault can be falsified or overlaid.

This can lead to distorted fault symptoms in the case of the fault analysis of the component concerned.

NOTE ON THE -VOLTAGE ON-BOARD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - AH54.00-P-0010-01A

General

The high-voltage on-board electrical system consists of several components. The individual components are
connected to each other by high-voltage conducting electrical lines and voltage distributor.

Marking

All components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with a yellow adhesive warning label
on which the pictogram for high-voltage is represented.

All electrical lines for high voltages are marked by a warning color (orange).

Activities, general

A special qualification measure is required for repair, maintenance and diagnosis activities on vehicles with
high-voltage on-board electrical systems. (sensitization training when handling high-voltage on-board electrical
systems).

For enabling (de-energized) of the high-voltage on-board electrical system before activities on vehicles with
high-voltage on-board electrical system and for the following initial startup, a special electrotechnical training
as well as authorization is mandatory. Persons not proven to have taken part in special qualification measures
and who have neither completed a special electrotechnical training nor are authorized, may not carry out any
activities on high-voltage on-board electrical systems.

Measures for activities

Before starting activities on high-voltage on-board electrical systems, the production of a de-energized
condition and its safeguarding for the duration of the activities to be carried out, must be ensured.

This must be done while observing and complying with the following safety rules, the application of which
must be the rule:
 Enable (de-energized)
 Secure against switching on again
 Check and secure safe isolation from supply

The measuring instruments, special tools and aids to be used must be checked for faultless condition before
their use.

When using test adapter (169 589 04 63 00), an electrical continuity check is additionally required.

For activities on high-voltage on-board electrical systems the following notes should be observed and adhered
to:

 Cable lugs, contacts and electrical connectors should be protected against dirt with suitable protective
bags
 Contacts, electrical lines and electrical connectors should be checked for dirt and damage before
assembly, if necessary they should be cleaned or replaced.
 Screw contacts should be tightened with the specified torque and if necessary the tightening angle.

EVALUATING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS AFTER REPAIR AND PAINTING WORK AND


AFTER ACCIDENTS - AH54.00-P-1000-01A

All models

1. With paint drying in drying oven

Electronic components, such as the switching unit for the ignition system, the control unit for the
electronic fuel/diesel injection system, the ABS system, airbag, emergency tensioning retractors etc. may
only be heated up to an object temperature of maximum 90 °C.

In cases of doubt the temperature at these points should be checked by a series of measurements (remove
electronic components beforehand) by means of a mercury maximum thermometer during the baking
phase.

If the maximum permissible temperature is not exceeded, the electronic components need not be
removed.

No particular safety measures are required at an object temperature up to max. 60 °C (air injection
temperature max. 90 °C).

2. With welding

Always disconnect and cover the negative terminal of the battery. Disconnect airbag 10-pin data link
connector (color red) in the right footwell after waiting for 2 seconds after disconnecting the battery or as
of 07/93 detach the coupling on the airbag control unit using the insertion and removal aid.
3. After accidents

Replacing electronic control units after an accident is only necessary if at least one of the following
conditions is met:

 The housing is recognizably deformed or damaged.


 The contact surface or bearing bracket is deformed; externally the unit does not appear damaged.
 The connector is damaged or corroded by moisture.
 Faults are established by a function test or self-diagnosis of the unit.

If electronic components, such as the ABS control unit, have been removed for repair and are then used
again, these should be checked for proper operation after assembly.

NOTES ON BATTERY - AH54.10-P-0001-01A

All models

General information on batteries

 Do not store batteries over a longer period at a storage point with direct solar radiation.
 Discharged or defective batteries can freeze, therefore store free from frost.
 Avoid polarity reversal and short-circuits.
 Do not place tool or other conducting objects on the battery (risk of short-circuit).
 Before removal and installation of batteries all switchable current consumers should be switched off, as
well as the engine switched off so that inadvertent arcing is ruled out.
 Always disconnect the negative terminal first and always connect the positive terminal first.
 Only charge batteries with DC, 10 % of the capacity is recommended as charging current for slow
 Only switch on the charger after connecting to the terminals and switch off before disconnecting.
 We recommend greasing the batteries slightly with battery terminal grease.
 If the battery is to remain in the parked vehicle for a longer time, the negative terminal should be
disconnected.
 If possible batteries should be kept clean and dry.
 Batteries should not be stored over a longer period without recharging.

Notes on lead-gel batteries (additional battery for special bodies)

 Lead-gel batteries are free from gassing, acid does not run out of them and are completely independent of
position and maintenance free.
 When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-gel battery does not heat up excessively otherwise
a pressure relief valve will be opened and the lead-gel battery will be defective.

Notes on lead acid batteries

 Always store lead lead-acid batteries horizontally to prevent acid leaking out and do not tilt during
transportation.
 When fast charging ensure that the housing of the lead-acid battery does not heat up excessively.

The "Software Calibration Number" (SCN) is specified by law in Europe and USA for all control units relevant
to exhaust emission as of model year 2002.

Accordingly the software and coding of such a control unit must be clearly identifiable by means of the SCN.
As a number the SCN consists of 16 numbers. The first 10 places correspond to the object number to be coded
(mostly object number of control unit software). The next 2 places designate the manufacturing plant or field
organization, in which the vehicle has been coded. The last 4 places are a number of the variants of the coding
string of the vehicle-specific as-built configuration. This number is serially numbered for each newly formed
variant.

If special equipment has been installed or removed in the vehicle (e.g. retrofitting a telephone), these retrofit
codes must be added to the central system before requesting the SCN coding data. The appropriate national
organization must be contacted (MPC) for this.

NOTES ON SPRAYABLE JOINT SEALANT - AH97.10-P-0002-01A

All models

Application areas:

With this material, when applied over large surfaces on areas such as the wheelhouses, longitudinal members
(rocker panels) and vehicle floor elements, the characteristics are visually equivalent to the standard or plant
seals in terms of the processing.

When applying the material from the standard cartridge (300 ml), a special compressed air gun is required
which allows different types of application for structured joints, surface coatings, stone-impact protection and
sound deadening in combination with the associated plastic injection nozzles.

Processing:

 Wet-in-wet painting possible between 30 min. and 8 h after application without paint additives. Forced
drying is necessary between 8 h and 72 h. Longer standing times should be avoided to exclude paint
adhesion losses.
 Adhesion surfaces must be clean, dry and free of grease.
 Spray filler/filler primer before application of sprayable joint sealing agent.
 Never apply the sprayable joint sealing agent to fresh (unhardened) 1K polyurethane material.

Specific material advantages of "sprayable joint sealing agent":

 Does not contain any isocyanates, silicone, PVCs and no dangerous agent.
 The replaceable nozzle makes cleaning unnecessary.
 Visual repair of the plant seals and underbody coating.
 Good stability.
 UV-resistant.
 Material offers a number of application possibilities.
 With the proper gun setting, the sprayable joint seal can be applied as joint seal and surface coating in
sequence.
 It is necessary, however, to wait for the end of the skin formation period of about 15 min. for the sprayed
seam.
 Can be painted over well.

NOTES ON SEAM SEAL - AH97.10-P-0002-02A

Seal connecting flange of repaired area with body sealant to prevent corrosion and leakage.
Keep sealant out of threads on weld nuts and threaded bolts by masking or covering with cardboard sleeves.
Also keep drain openings and contact surfaces for axle attachments, windows and detachable parts free of
sealant.

Application of the materials for different application shapes is possible and permissible (structured seams,
surface coating, protection against flying rocks and sound deadening).

Do not apply seam seal on fresh (uncured) 1-component polyurethane material.

Maintain drying time for overpainting.

Curing rate for joint seals

Curing rate at 50% relative humidity at coat thickness of (mm).

Fig. 1: Curing Rate For Joint Seals


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Product description:

 Single-component polyurethane sealant is hardened to an elastomer by the moisture in the air

Application range:

 This material is suitable for resilient and permanent sealing with good adhesion.

Suitable substrates include metals, metal with primer finish and enamel finishes (2-component systems).

Processing:

 The joint subsurfaces must be clean, dry and free of dust and grease.
 Fillers/primers must be applied before applying the joint seal. Apply joint seal only after filler/primer has
dried completely.
 Cut off nozzle tip to match joint width and apply sealant to the joint without entraining air bubbles using
piston rod compressed air, battery powered or manual gun.
 The optimum processing temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
 Paint over joint seal only after it has cured completely. The cross-linking reaction is caused by contact
with moisture in the air. At low temperatures the moisture content in the air is low and the cross-linking
reaction takes slightly longer (see diagram).
 Longer standing times should be avoided to exclude paint adhesion losses.

NOTES ON CAVITY PRESERVATION - AH97.20-P-0001-01B

The cavity preservation with wax already performed at the factory completes the corrosion prevention
measures.

No repetition of this preservation work is necessary.

Repair preservation

Following body repairs, spray hollow cavities with wax in the repaired area. When replacing detachable body
components, e.g. front fender, engine hood, doors, trunk lid as well as during welding, riveting and soldering
work, also perform repair preservation.

As a matter of principle, apply two coats of repair preservation agent one after another with an air drying time
of 5 min. in between.

After drying, ensure that drain holes are not plugged.

It is important that the wax is applied following sealing and paintwork, however, before assembly. Otherwise
paint damage can occur or installation parts can be soiled with wax.

Crash box clamping area and contact surfaces in longitudinal member must be free of wax. Preserve only after
assembling.

Also preserve replacement bodies twice after painting.

Replacement bodyshells top-coated in the factory have already been treated with the standard cavity
preservation.

Processing instructions

The application temperature of the wax should not be below +15 °C.

The cavities should be dry for preservation. Before starting preservation work, check spray pattern of spraying
hose or spray can. The wax must spray uniformly from the openings in a circular pattern.
Particularly advantageous are nozzles which spray toward the front as well as at an angle toward the rear.

Avoid wax fog in vehicle interior to prevent damage to interior equipment.

The spraying hose of the hand-held lance must be "stiff". Spraying hoses that tend to roll up are not suitable.

When preserving, insert the spraying hose into the cavities in all directions as far as possible. Spray while
slowly inserting and pulling out spraying hose.

After preservation work clean spraying nozzle and spraying hose together with sprayer.

NOTES ON CAVITY PRESERVATION - AH97.20-P-0001-01C

Prepare preservation surfaces

Always clean surfaces and hollow cavities to be preserved.

Surfaces and hollow cavities must be dry before application.

Spray probe

The spray probe must be "stiff". Spray probes that tend to roll up are not suitable.

Processing notes

The optimum application temperature is 20- 35°C. It should not be less than +15 °C

Before starting application, check spray pattern. The preservation agent should spray uniformly out of the
openings in the shape of a cone.

Optimum application can be achieved by slowly retracting/extending and simultaneously turning the spray
probe during application.

Always apply two coats one after another with an air drying time of 5 min. in between.

Always cover brake disks, brake linings, belt drive and propeller shaft to prevent brake failure or
propeller shaft imbalance.

Always cover exhaust, otherwise the preservation agent could catch fire or emit unpleasant odors.

Avoid preservation mist in vehicle interior to prevent damage to interior equipment.

Avoid preservation mist on inner side of bumper to prevent bumper deformation.

Clean tools after application.


After drying preservation, ensure that all drain holes are free.

SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING WAX PRESERVATION - AH97.20-P-1000-02PV

All models with fire extinguishing system

When applying preservation wax, pressurize the entire extinguishing pipe system (approx. 10
bars) during the spraying operation to prevent clogging the exit holes for extinguishing agent. Start by
disconnecting the extinguishing agent reservoir from the extinguishing pipe.

900, 906

Repair damage on permanent underfloor protection as well as paint damage on door bottom edges, wheel arch
lips and entrance.

Apply preservation agent to underbody in area repaired following accident. Replacement body shells must have
preservation agent applied to their underfloors when the vehicle is fully assembled.

The underside of the vehicle is to be cleaned before waxing. Spray the preservation wax on the dry underfloor.

Do not spray following parts with preservation wax and cover if possible to prevent damage and extensive
cleaning work:

 Brake linings and brake disks


 Exhaust pipes, center mufflers and rear mufflers
 Propeller shafts

The frame floor is coated with PVC permanent underfloor protection as standard, see "Paintwork and Corrosion
Protection Manual". PVC is used as a standard material for sealing work in areas such as spot welds and door
folds.

When PVC materials burn, they release a highly corrosive hydrochloric acid.

The new permanent underfloor protection does not adhere well to the burned PVC allowing rust to form later.
For this reason, always remove PVC underfloor protection as well as PVC joint seals before starting any
brazing or welding work. This also applies for work such as cutting or grinding.

For the same reasons, it is preferable to separate damaged body parts using "cold" separating methods.

NOTES ON TRANSPORTATION SHEETING - AH97.20-P-9409-03A

Since 1st July 1995 the outer skin conservation is discontinued on all vehicle model series with code (524) Paint
protection. Instead, a protective sheeting is applied to the following surfaces on the vehicle in the factory:

 Horizontal surfaces (engine hood, roof, trunk lid)


 Front and rear fenders
 Front and rear doors on driver's side
 Outside mirror housings
 Bumper (with code (494) USA version)

As a rule the transport foil remains on the painted surface until the vehicle is prepared for sale. Remove
transport foil 24 h before preparing for sale.

Time transport foil remains on vehicle.

The time the foil remains on the vehicle is limited to 180 days (new).

The film is therefore provided with a sticker on the engine hood which marks the latest removal date of the film.

After expiration date, it is necessary to remove the foil by pulling off of the vehicle.

Removal of transport foil

In exceptional cases (transport film missing or damaged, length of stay has elapsed or paintwork rectification is
required) it is necessary to provide the complete vehicle or parts of the originally protected surfaces with a
transport film again. For this the film and adhesive tapes should be detached by hand.

If the temperature is too high (>50 °C), adhesive residues may be left behind on the painted surfaces.

On iced up vehicles the film may crack during removal due to the influence of ice and snow.

Snow and ice residues can be thawed by heating up the surface temperature of the vehicle in a heated hall or
with the help of a hot air gun.

Heating also makes it easier to remove stubborn tape/adhesive residues.

A heat source and benzine must not be used at the same time.

In rare cases, localized swellings of the paintwork may be visible after the sheeting is removed. However,
Disposal of transport foil

The transport foil, the safety adhesive tape and the label for marking the expiration date consist of polyolefin
materials (PE/PP). Dispose of separated foil waste properly. Observe legal regulations applicable in country.

MAINTENANCE
PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CAVITY PRESERVATION AGENT - AP97.20-P-0640-01SX

The cavity preservation with wax already performed at the factory completes the corrosion prevention
measures.

No repetition of this preservation work is necessary.

Repair preservation

Following accident repairs, spray hollow cavities with wax in the repaired area. When replacing detachable
body components, e.g. front fender, engine hood, doors, trunk lid as well as during welding, riveting and
soldering work, also perform repair preservation.

Always carry out the repair preservation twice in succession after a drying time of 5 minutes.

After drying, ensure that drain holes are not plugged.

It is important that the wax preservation agent is applied following sealing and paintwork, however, before
assembly. Otherwise painting defects can occur or attached parts may be contaminated with wax.

Likewise preserve replacement bodies after painting twice in succession.

Replacement bodyshells top-coated in the factory have already been treated with the standard cavity
preservation.

Working instructions

The cavities must be dry before preserving. Before commencing preservation work, check the spray pattern
from the spraying hose or spray can. The wax must spray uniformly from the openings in a circular pattern.

Particularly advantageous are nozzles which spray toward the front as well as at an angle toward the rear.

The spraying hose of the hand-held lance must be "stiff". Hoses that tend to roll up are not suitable.

When preserving move the spray hose as far as possible to all sides in the cavities. Spray while slowly inserting
and retracting the hose (processing temperature not below +15 °C). Clean spray nozzle and spray hose together
with spray equipment.

PROCESSING OF BODY SEALANT (PAINTABLE) BEFORE PAINTING - AR97.10-P-0500-02SX

When replacing sheet attached parts (doors, trunk lid, etc.) and also body parts welded in place, carefully
seal the folds and openings with body sealant in order to avoid corrosion and leaks. Seal spot weld seams and
rivets on both sides.

Observe following procedure:

1. Carefully clean affected body parts.


2. Apply sealant uniformly.
3. Spread body sealant evenly.
4. Maintain drying time (paintable).

Always clean brushes, wooden spatulas, etc., used for spreading body sealant, with naphtha.

If these objects are cleaned with paint thinner or other alcoholic liquids before applying the body sealant, the
sealant does not cure and remains sticky.

 Permanent underfloor protection (water-base dispersion), gray

The permanent underfloor protection is a water-thinnable dispersion suitable for application to the underbody,
fender bottom sections and exterior surface.

For processing on the outer surface (e.g. front fender below bumper or longitudinal members at entrance), thin
material with 5 % water to achieve better coverage.

The permanent underfloor protection is not suited for sealing work (seam sealant).

Observe the following procedure when processing:

 All areas to which permanent underfloor protection is to be applied must be thoroughly cleaned (steam
cleaner). In particular, remove wax and oil residues as well as loose pieces of PVC thoroughly. Grind
corroded points down to bare metal and prime.

A hot air blower and flat nozzle with integrated scraper or rotating wire brushes are suitable for removing the
PVC material.

 Apply permanent underfloor protection uniformly with spray gun.

Do not spray permanent underfloor protection on major assemblies; otherwise, function


impairment is possible. Blow out spray gun with solvent after use. Expose air hole on screw-in thread to prevent
spraying gun from sticking.

 Maintain drying time (paintable).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND POISONING CAUSED BY SOLVENT VAPORS AND GASSES. RISK
OF INJURY TO SKIN AND EYES WHEN WORKING WITH ANTICORROSION AGENTS - AS97.00-
Z-0001-01A

Never spray anticorrosion agents on flames or glowing hot objects and keep them well away from all potential
sources of ignition. Use them only in well-ventilated rooms; wear respiratory protection.

Potential risks

Risk of explosion

The solvents contained in anticorrosion agents (such as underfloor protective coatings, cavity wax, engine
compartment wax) are flammable, and may burst into flame if sprayed onto glowing hot components or open
flames.

Risk of poisoning

Inhaling spray and solvent vapors can lead to damage of the respiratory system and lungs. Symptoms of
poisoning include headache, breathing difficulty, nausea and loss of consciousness.

With underfloor protection, the following risks are also posed:

 Risk of damage to liver and kidneys.


 Central nervous system disorders, loss of consciousness.
 When these substances burn they produce toxic gases with a noxious odor; these gases are dangerous in
high concentrations.

Risk of injury

If anticorrosion agents come in contact with the eyes they can cause severe eye damage.

In the event of frequent or prolonged contact with the skin, these substances can lead to inflammation of the
skin and to the removal of the skin's natural oils.

Safety instructions/precautions

 Always remove all PVC undercoating and PVC seam sealer from the areas before performing any
welding or soldering work. This also applies for work such as cutting, sanding or similar work.
 When removing damaged bodywork sections use "cold" separating methods where possible. With these
methods, smoke and toxic fumes are avoided.
 Do not expose containers to direct sunlight or to temperatures in excess of 50 °C.
 Always maintain the prescribed application pressure.
 Never spray corrosion protection agents into flames or onto hot objects; keep well away from sparks and
all potential sources of ignition, and do not smoke.
 Take precautions to avoid sparks from electrostatic discharge.
 Avoid all contact with eyes and skin.
 Wear tight-fitting safety glasses and solvent-resistant gloves.
 Work in well ventilated areas; wear respiratory protection.
 If clothing becomes soaked or contaminated, remove and wash it immediately.
 Keep well away from food and drinks.
 Seal containers tightly and store them in a well-ventilated area.

First aid measures

In case of eye contact

 Flush thoroughly with water and consult a physician (eye doctor) immediately.

In case of ingestion

 Give medicinal activated charcoal; do not induce vomiting; consult a physician immediately.

In case of inhalation

 Move victim to fresh air, have victim lie down and remain calm, avoid strenuous activity.

In case of skin contact

 Immediately wash with soap and water, apply protective skin ointment.

Fire protection measures

Rescue, extinguishing and cleanup operations in areas contaminated by fumes should only be undertaken by
individuals wearing respiratory protection. Do not inhale fumes from flames or explosions.

Suitable extinguishing agents:

 Indirect water spray

GENERAL INFORMATION ON BODY REPAIR - AH60.00-N-0001-01A

All models

General information on repair instructions

The repair instructions form the basis for proper and competent maintenance and repair.

The content of the work procedures described is based on the training level of a fully qualified auto mechanic
with extensive product expertise. This level of knowledge is essential for carrying out the described work.

Basic prerequisites for properly performing body repairs include:

 Use of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.


 Strict observance of the Mercedes-Benz guidelines for bodywork.
 Workshop equipped with suitable special tools and workshop equipment.

Notes on repair method

Repair of damaged body panels is one of the most economical and time-saving measures and is preferable to
replacing assemblies.

A precise check should always be made to determine which repair procedure is most economical. Repair should
always be considered to be the "first choice", because this has the least effect on the strength, dimensional
accuracy and corrosion resistance, etc. achieved at the factory

If repair work is not possible, the connection type priorities should be observed as follows during the repair:

1. Resistance spot welding


2. Rivets
3. MAG plug welds and other weld joints

Work protection and safety information

In order to rule out any risk of personal injury, to avoid impairing the reliability and safety of the vehicle, and to
prevent damage to the vehicle as a result of work improperly carried out, these instructions are to be read
carefully and complied with in full.

Consequently, it is not possible for Daimler AG to evaluate in the last consequence every situation which might
present a risk of injury for the operative. It is therefore urgent that everyone who carries out repair operations on
MB passenger cars applies their professional knowledge to ensure that their own safety is not at risk and that the
vehicle will not be adversely affected (in particular with regards to safety) as a result of the repair procedure
chosen It is therefore expressly pointed out that all work of the operations described shall be carried out only by
complying with valid directives and instructions of the local, competent authorities and those relating to health
and safety at work, and environmental protection.

Sectional repairs

We recommend the following procedure for repairing body sections or sectional repairs:

Inert gas welds which are not in the immediately visible area or which are concealed by installed parts when the
vehicle is completed should not be ground down smooth or filled for reasons of economy and operating
stability.

Labor protection equipment

In addition to personal occupational clothing to include cap and safety shoes, working gloves, safety glasses, ear
protection, dust protection mask, etc. must be worn as required when working.

Battery

Before performing any type of welding work or other work causing sparks in the area of the vehicle battery,
always remove the battery and store in a protected location.

Components

During repair work following accidents, visually check electronic components, steering and seat belts.

Air conditioning

Do not weld or perform similar types of work on components in the closed air conditioning system or in its
immediate vicinity.

Drill, saw

Before drilling or sawing, remove electric lines and pipes installed in cavities as well as reservoirs located in
concealed locations (e.g. battery) and electronic components from hazard area.

Helicoil-compatible thread

Defective metric threads (as of M8) are helicoil-compatible in coordination with the Daimler development
department. However, this is basically possible only with tubes produced according to MBN 10349. Tubes
deviating from the standard, must be checked for repair suitability. Further information is given in the KG 00
"Notes on threaded connections with self-tapping screws".

Vehicles
Shield vehicles located in the body repair area against possible damage to paint and glass surfaces as well as fire
hazard from flying sparks using dividing walls or cover with fire-resistant tarp

Lifting platform

The vehicle can fall from the lifting platform due to weight transfer caused by removed parts (e.g. engine,
shafts, etc.). Secure vehicle or add sand bags to compensate the weight.

Corrosion protection

After painting, treat areas affected by repair with appropriate corrosion protection measures (e.g. wax, cavity
sealing agent, underbody protection, if present).

Metal shavings

Do not use compressed air to blow away metal shavings produced by machining work on the body; remove with
vacuum cleaner instead.

Engine and auxiliary equipment

Before performing any type of machining work on the body (e.g. with ball cutter), cover engine including all
auxiliary assemblies (e.g. alternator, solenoids, etc.) to prevent damage from metal shavings.

Straightening work

Welding vapors

Evacuate noxious gases, vapors, dust and welding smoke in the area where these occur.

Welding and related work

During all welding work, observe accident prevention regulations for welding, cutting and related types of work
In addition, before performing electric welding work, observe safety precautions for electronic control units.

Moreover, remove easily combustible and flammable materials and liquids from the hazard area. Use shields to
protect against flying

When performing straightening work never stand in a direct line in front of the pull chains when introducing
straightening forces to the frame or body.

Secure pull chains with catch cables or chains to prevent it from snapping away.

Observe notes on straightening and verify position of check bores. If necessary, detach body from straightening
bench and realign.

sparks and heat radiation and protect electric lines and piping installed in cavities.
When spot welding, maintain a spot weld interval of approx. 20 mm Clean, smooth electrode tips are required.
Set the current time or power according to the sheet metal thickness (new part) on the spot welder.

Continuation: Welding and related procedures

Corresponding welding parameter settings on the Daimler AG tested and approved spot welders for each
specific type are available in the WIS for the P Division. The parameters serve as a default setting for the spot
welder.

Always observe these setting specifications to ensure operating stability A spot-weld sample must be made
before the repair is conducted.

Standard bonded load-bearing sections

For standard bonded load-bearing sections that are not rebonded following accident repair, the number of spot
welds is indicated in the specific repair description.

Always observe these specifications to ensure operating stability

MEASURES FOR PREVENTING DAMAGE TO COMPONENTS WHEN PERFORMING ELECTRIC


WELDING AND SOLDERING WORK - AH60.00-P-0001-02A

All models

In order to prevent damage to vehicle components, the following measures must be taken before
welding/soldering:

1. Disconnect ignition key and disconnect/insulate ground line from battery.


2. When performing electrical welding and soldering work in the area of the airbag control unit (distance <
0.5 m), disconnect electrical connector from airbag control unit.
3. The high-voltage battery, the gas tank and the gas-routing components should not exceed a temperature of
> 60 °C.
4. Before welding and soldering, cover all components to protect against flying sparks and radiant heat or
remove from hazardous area (including lines and components in hollow cavities).
5. Do not touch electronics housings or electrical lines with welding electrode or ground line from the
welder/solder.
6. Directly connect ground terminal from electrical welding and soldering unit to component to be
welded/soldered. Ensure that there are no electrically insulating parts between the ground terminal and the
welding/soldering point.
7. Do not connect ground terminal from electrical welding/ soldering unit to major assemblies (e.g.
transmission, engine, etc.).

GENERAL INFORMATION ON RIVETING - AH60.00-P-0003-01N

Model 168, 169, 171, 172, 199, 203, 204 207, 209, 211, 212, 215, 216, 218, 219, 221, 230, 240, 245.2, 414,
461, 463, 636, 639, 903, 906

General information

DIN 8593 describes rivets as non-detachable fasteners for parts of the same or different materials.

The connection is accomplished by the deformation of the fastening element (rivet).

Riveting is a type of connection which has been tested and approved by Daimler AG and which has significant
advantages over inert gas plug welding in terms of corrosion protection following repair work.

Deformation of joined parts due to heating does not occur during riveting as connections are made cold.

For this reason, the priorities for fastening techniques for repair have been redefined as follows:

1. Resistance spot welding


2. Rivets
3. MAG plug welds and other weld joints

Rivet types, their application and positioning are described in the respective repair documents.

For the repair of hybrid construction vehicles, joints are both riveted and bonded.

Gluing achieves higher strength as well as a sealed connection.

Standard bonded load-bearing sections

For standard bonded load-bearing sections which are not bonded again following accident repair, the number of
rivets is specified in the specific repair description. Always observe these specifications to ensure operating
stability

Always seal riveted body flange with body sealant.

Rivet forms for hybrid construction vehicles


 Various types of rivets

Preparation of rivet points

Always drill and deburr rivet holes.

To prevent that the rivet is notched and to provide for good flow characteristics of the shaft material in the hole,
the edges of the rivet holes should be chamfered or countersunk.

Ultra-high strength materials

When processing ultra-high-strength materials, use only high-strength rivets approved by Daimler AG. Only a
riveter with increased draw-off strength can be used for this.

Rivet materials

Basically, the rivet should consist of the same material as the components to be connected, however, at least a
similar material to prevent destruction from electro-mechanical corrosion or looseness by different thermal
expansion.

The primary rivet materials are:

 Steel
 Aluminum alloys

Riveting procedure

 Clean connecting points


 Insert rivet
 Pull back pin with hand riveter or electric or hydraulic riveter until it tears off at the predetermined
fracture point.

GENERAL NOTES ON WELDING - AH60.00-P-0005-01N

All models

General information on welding aluminum:

Metal electrode inert gas welding (MIG) is the process used most frequently for repairing aluminum. In this
process an arc is present between the component to be welded and the wire electrode to be melted. The wire
electrode serves as the welding material and transfers the energy required to melt the metal.

The process uses direct current; the electrode is the positive pole.

Welding aluminum requires a great deal of practice and experience. It required steady guidance of the arc and a
Welding is accomplished at an angle of approx. 75 to 80° from right to left with slight jabbing motion. This
allows the welder to clearly see the electrode tip and the welding operation. If held to flat, the heat and
protective gas dissipate too highly over the surface. This can lead to faulty welding results.

Preparation of aluminum welding areas:

Repair welding on aluminum body/body parts cannot be compared with conventional sheet steel weld joints.
For this reason it is absolutely necessary to prepare the welding areas observing extreme cleanliness and to
perform a test spot-weld on a specimen panel (e.g. cut from old damaged part) before performing any welding
work on the vehicle or components.

Approved welders are listed under the following link:

Insert gas welder (aluminum)

gotis://K_60-65_17.1

Typical welding errors:

 Fissures in the weld result, for example, when the welding current is to high or when the wrong wire
electrodes are used.

When repairing cracks, grind out the weld over the length of the fissure down to twice the depth of the
crack before rewelding. After rewelding check again for fissures.

 Fissures in the external paneling can be repaired by first drilling a 2 mm diameter hole at both ends of the
crack to prevent further cracking. Then the crack and holes can be welded.
 Pores in the weld are the fault which occurs most frequently, whereby the tendency to form pores
decreases at increasing solidification interval. Pores result from inclusion of gas bubbles during poor
cooling. Other causes for pores include:
 instable arc,

 incorrect burner position

 quantity of inert gas too low

 effect of air drafts,

 nozzles too small or clogged by metal spatter.

 contamination in area of weld from grease, oil, paint or dirt

If pores are present, grind out weld and weld over, then check weld seam.

End craters

Craters are formed at the end of each weld seam, which require filling. This can be accomplished by not
switching off the burner immediately at the end of the weld seam. The molten welding wire then fills up the
crater.
Cold weld points

The danger of cold weld points exists at the beginning and end of a seam; this can impair the strength of the
connection by notching. For this reason an additional length of approx. 5 mm should be provided at the
beginning as well as at the end of the weld.

PRETREATMENT OF BONDING SURFACES - AH60.00-P-0008-01N

Model 169, 171, 172, 204, 211, 215, 216, 219, 221, 240, 245.2, 414, 636, 639

Preliminary treatment of surfaces to be glued

Careful preparation of the surfaces to be glued is required to ensure proper connection between the glue and the
surface of the parts to be connected.

After removing old glue, dirt, rust, paint or oxide layers from bonding surfaces

Grind gluing flange down to bare metal

On aluminum surfaces use CrNi wire brush. Then treat flange with Saco-Roc abrasive paper (both included
in Al package).

Apply mixed primer only on bare flange areas, if they were cleaned previously with a brush or lint-free cloth.

Do not touch cleaned areas without gloves (transfer of sweat from hands).

Then the mixed primer can be applied to the prepared bonding surfaces with a flat brush

The result is positive when a uniform coat of primer is visible. If this is not the case, repeat treatment.

Start bonding work after primer has been wiped off with lint-free cloth after positive result has been achieved.

Pretreatment of aluminum and steel surfaces to be bonded

It is necessary to carefully prepare the surfaces to be glued in order to obtain a good connection between the
glue and surfaces of the parts to be connected.

After removing old glue, dirt, rust, paint or oxidation layers from bonding surfaces grind gluing flange down to
bare metal

On aluminum surfaces use CrNi wire brush.


Apply mixed primer only on bare flange areas, if they were cleaned previously with a brush or lint-free rag
soaked with the cleaning agent provided.

After use, dispose of cleaning rag as special wastes due to residue of cleaning agent.

Do not touch cleaned areas without gloves (transfer of sweat from hands).

Primer

Metal connections require pretreatment with primer for bonding. This primer is required to ensure surface
cleanliness as well as improved long-term stability of bonding.

Bond primed surfaces immediately after applying the primer to prevent corrosion and contamination on the
surfaces. Apply mixed primer in thin layer with a flat brush to prepared surface to be glued.

Work mixed primer into surface with unused abrasive paper from the package.

The result is positive when a uniform coat of primer is visible. If this is not the case, repeat treatment.

The gluing operation can be started as soon as the primer has been wiped off with a lint-free paper towel after
obtaining a positive result.

Always observe the specified work steps and work instructions given in the gluing set!

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DENT REMOVAL AND STRAIGHTENING ALUMINUM PARTS -


AH60.00-P-0012-01N

Model 215, 216, 221

Dent removal:

On aluminum parts, it is possible to remove dents up to a certain deformation depth. In the event of higher
deformation, it is necessary to replace the damaged parts. Comprehensive dent removal work can be
accomplished only under the effect of heat. In contrast to sheet steel, on aluminum plate the dent removal
operations should be started in the middle of the dent. If possible, attempt to eliminate the dents by pressing out.
Replace sharp-edged and hard dent removing tools with plastic, wood or aluminum hammers. If stretched too
highly, e.g. with steel tools, aluminum tends to work-harden (blocking of the displacement motion), which can
lead to embrittlement or crack formation.

Procedure for dent removal:

As with sheet steel, first feel the surface and localize high/low spots. Then remove dent.

On aluminum, then feel the smooth surface again to determine the pulling point for the next heat draw-in.

The working technique heating - dent removal - cooling must be accomplished quickly one after another and be
matched exactly to one another.

Use only special tools for aluminum processing for all types of repair work!

Drawing in:

To draw in, first heat up the aluminum plate with "neutral" welding flame to approx. 150 °C - 450 °C and then
allow to cool down punctually at the drawing point. The rapid temperature change causes the surface to contract
and the aluminum plate assumes its original shape. The heated point is flattened because the surrounding colder
material expands less, preventing thermal expansion of the heated material. When it cools, the heated, flattened
material contracts.

Important working rules for drawing in and straightening work:

1. Clean aluminum surface. Do not burn any contamination into the surface.
2. Heat up point to be repaired. Limit thermal expansion within repair area.
3. Use larger burner inserts. Adapt burner setting to material and part to be repaired.

Avoid settings with excess oxygen!

4. Heat up quickly point to be repaired. Determine temperature of straightening area.

With unhardened aluminum alloys, use wooden wedge or temperature color pen; with hardened
aluminum alloys, use digital thermometer, to determine temperature!
5. Cool down point to be repaired again quickly. This maintains the mechanical material properties.

Straightening, reshaping:

The reshaping characteristics of aluminum present more problems than steel. Structural damage can only be
straightened or reshaped under the effect of heat. After reaching the temperature for reshaping (250 °C to 300 °
C), release tension present by tapping carefully with a hammer. It is necessary to check the temperature of the
repair point frequently because the rebound effect resulting from resilient deformation is significantly higher
with aluminum than with steel. Avoid jerky drawing operations due to the increased risk of cracking. Aluminum
tends to tear out very quickly when notches or crimps are present in the reshaping area.

This also applies for high force in the area of weld joints. Reshaping also results in hardening, which can be and
must be reduced again by heating up to approx. 170 °C to prevent cracking.

Aluminum die-cast channels are extremely resistant to bending and cannot be reshaped. If damaged, they must
be replaced. Extruded aluminum channels can be reshaped to a limited extent when heated up properly
assuming that they are freely accessible.

Temperature check:

The following procedures can be used for determining the temperature:

 Thermal colors to be applied to the edge area of the heating zone at interval of approx. 25 mm.
 Temperature determination with soft wood (spruce, willow). Heat up point to be repaired. Stroke piece of
wood across heated point with medium pressure. Lines appear for the specific temperatures (approx. 350
°C - light brown, 400 °C -medium brown, 450 °C - dark brown, 500 °C - black).

Use uncarbonized wooden tip, otherwise the aluminum can tear due to incorrect temperature display
when reshaping.

 Colored pins.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON CRACK DIAGNOSIS OF ALUMINUM PARTS - AH60.00-P-0014-


01N
All models

It is necessary to check whether any cracks, inclusions or other weld faults are present before and after
performing repair work on aluminum components.

A suitable method of testing is the simple dye penetration test, which accentuates faults starting at the surface or
in immediate connection with it which cannot be seen with the naked eye, through color contrast. This method
utilizes the capillary effect of fine surface openings. Liquids containing dyes with low surface tension penetrate
into these openings and can be verified there with suitable contrasting agents.

Usually luminous red or yellow-green fluorescent dyes are used a penetration agents, which can be washed off
with water. The penetration agent can be sprayed on or applied with a brush.

During the penetration time, the penetration agent should never be allowed to dry out. The smaller the surface
faults, the longer the penetration time (approx. 5 to 30 minutes).

The developer used subsequently requires a high absorption capacity, to suck the penetration agent out of the
damaged spot. This makes the fault visible by contrast in the developer layer. The development time is analog
to the penetration time. As a matter of principle, however, faults can only be verified on the material surface.

Always observe the specific Safety instructions of the individual manufacturers before using the cleaner,
contrast agent, and developer.

All three diagnostic agents are highly inflammable. The contrast agent also poses a health hazard.

Detection process:

1. Crack after cleaning.


2. Crack after application of contrast agent.
3. After removal of quantity which has not penetrated into the damaged point
4. After application of the developer, damaged point is indicated.

INFORMATION ON MACHINING/TREATING MAGNESIUM COMPONENTS - AH60.00-P-0023-


01R

General:

Magnesium has the property of forming a compound with oxygen extremely quickly. Nevertheless it is
corrosion-resistant when exposed to air, because it forms a tight, continuous thin oxide skin which protects the
metal beneath from further oxidation.

If magnesium is ignited, it burns at approx. > 500 °C with dazzling white light and severe heat development
(approx. 2400 °C).

Magnesium dust combusts and explodes just as easily as aluminum dust.

For additional information see Accident Prevention Regulations or the regulations of the trade association.

Machining/treating magnesium:
 Machining/treating magnesium components by means of an open flame (welding, cutting, soldering,
heating, etc.) or by spark-creating grinding is prohibited.
 Any components that suffer structural damage must be replaced completely.

Corrosion protection:

 Faulty coatings and points affected by corrosion should never be repaired for corrosion reasons.
 Repair over large surfaces should not be performed for reasons of corrosion.
 To prevent contact corrosion at the threaded connections on the components (e.g. inner door parts), coat
contact surfaces and bolt shafts with paint after removal or replace bolts.

Do not use zinc dust paint!

 Plastic bushings and disks installed as standard must not be removed and damaged parts must be
replaced.
 Due to extremely severe contact corrosion, damaged threads in the magnesium pressure castings may
only be repaired with the MB-approved Helicoil thread inserts made of aluminum.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON REPAIR OF VEHICLES WITH ULTRA - STRENGTH STEELS. -


AH60.00-P-0024-01N

Failure to observe instructions when straightening/repairing, separating, preparing adhesive points,


joining/ connecting, resistance spot welding, MIG welding, MIG brazing can lead to considerable damage
to ultra-strength steels and their joints.

Straightening/repairing ultra-high-strength steels

Straightening work

 Do not heat above 300 °C


 Use commercially available pulling tool to planish the side longitudinal member, for example. Observe
welding suitability resistance when installing pulling adapter (e.g. shims) on ultra high-strength steels.
 Straightening work on ultra high-strength steels can only be accomplished in the event of minor damage
(dents).

Cutting ultra-high-strength steels

Heating gluing points

 The maximum permissible temperature for heating the flange connection to be loosened is 200 °C.
 The ideal temperature for loosening the flange, e.g. with a chisel, is approx. 100 to 120 °C
 Do not heat adhesive connections, consisting of 3 sheets of metal, to temperatures exceeding 200 °C to
preserve the connection without permanent damage.
 After the component has cooled down, the adhesive resumes its original strength.
 We recommend a hot air gun as heat source.
 Drill out spot welds with special bits (see workshop equipment manual).
 Cut out spot welds with special spot weld milling cutter (see workshop equipment manual).
 Cut with 30 mm dia. cutting disks (see workshop equipment manual).
 Use suitable machines for individual tools (see Workshop Equipment Manual).
 Drill rivet holes with special bits (see workshop equipment manual).

Prepare gluing points

Observe pretreatment of bonding surfaces.

The detailed work description included with glue set must be strictly observed!

Joining/connecting ultra-high-strength steels

Rivet joints

 When processing ultra-high-strength materials, use only high-strength rivets approved by DC.
 For this purpose, a riveter with increased draw-off strength is required (see Workshop Equipment
Manual).

Resistance spot welding

 The spot welding tongs (inverter technology) should be approved for these materials (see Workshop
Equipment Manual).
 The extension of the electrode arms is limited to the short standard electrode.
 To determine the optimum welding parameter settings and the electrode pressure, perform a snap-out test
on a sample plate before performing resistance spot welding on the vehicle (see following picture).
 Only this ensures optimum welds

MIG soldering

 MIG soldering is only permissible on repair points described in WIS.

Snap-out test on sample panel (old part) on ultra high-strength steels to determine the optimal welding
parameter setting

 Determine suitable welding parameters on sample panel (to be removed from old part) in combination
with approved spot welders. By completing spot-weld specimen (with adhesive) and performing snap-out
test with measuring weld nugget diameter using formula 4Xsq. roott (t = panel thickness).
 Weld nugget diameter (a) should be at least 5 mm.

Take adhesive from glue cartridge without mixing tube (mix manually).

For legal reasons (product liability, trademark and traffic laws) and to prevent negative effects to the Daimler
corporation and employees of the specific Mercedes-Benz dealerships, we recommend that the vehicle
identification number and Mercedes stars at the end (trademark) only be stamped on a vehicle if the body or the
vehicle was replaced or repaired within the Mercedes-Benz service organization.

This recommendation is based on the following reasons:

Some companies have specialized in rebuilding Mercedes-Benz vehicles with used or new bodies and often
finishing these vehicles with second-hand parts from various accident vehicles of the same model.

Cases are repeatedly reported where other companies have then asked service outlets or authorized workshops
to mark the vehicle with the vehicle identification number of the original (accident) vehicle

We request you to never perform such work, even when the other company assures that they have rebuilt the
vehicle for themselves or at the request of a customer.

Legal problems relating to the protection of our trademark could result from unreservedly marking such
vehicles with the vehicle identification number with stars at the end (trademark).

The new product liability laws consider the manufacturer to be the company who attaches its trademark to a
product, regardless of whether the product was actually produced by this manufacturer.

Moreover, the Daimler corporation could, under certain circumstances, be considered to be the manufacturer
and be liable in the event of damage.

Assembly of used or new bodies with various parts is the equivalent of new production. If such assembly is
performed by another company, the Daimler corporation does not consider itself to be the manufacturer.

For this reason it is necessary for the registration authorities to issue a new vehicle title, which is legally
possible, in which the assembling company is entered as the manufacturer and the serial number of the technical
testing point becomes the vehicle identification number.

Moreover, such rebuilt vehicles usually require an operating permit. According to Section 59, Paragraph 2 of
the German vehicle licensing regulations (StVZO), this requires notification of the responsible registration
authority.

On the other hand, if a dealership or authorized workshop marks the rebuilt vehicle with the vehicle
identification number of the original (accident) vehicle, the assembling company would be given the
opportunity of circumventing its liability according to Section 59, Paragraph 2 of the German vehicle licensing
regulations.

Companies requesting that rebuilt vehicles be marked with the vehicle identification number should be advised
accordingly and referred to the responsible registration authority.

Fig. 8: Identifying Vehicle Identification Number


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The vehicle identification number starts and ends with the "Mercedes star" (trademark) and has 19 punched
numbers with a total length of 106 +/-4 mm.

If, in case of repair, the area where the vehicle identification number has been embossed is replaced, it is
necessary to punch it in at the same point.
This involves a change to the vehicle which is subject to compulsory notification. In the Federal Republic of
Germany immediately inform motor vehicle registration authorities in writing .

The vehicle holder is required to complete a certificate for the vehicle licensing authority which indicates that
the vehicle identification number has been re-stamped after completing body repairs.

As prove, the original vehicle identification number cut out of the old part, may also be enclosed.

A vehicle identification number incompletely punched in by the workshop must be crossed out and pinched in
correctly in the spare field on the right crossmember, the right side of the drive shaft tunnel, the rear partition
wall or the firewall.

This procedure should be noted additionally in the certificate for the vehicle licensing authority as follows:

"The incorrectly or incompletely punched vehicle identification number was crossed out and the correct vehicle
identification number punched in the spare field."

Export countries must observe their relevant vehicle licensing provisions and legal regulations.

1. Check gaps on hoods, doors and covers.

The corresponding gap dimension should not run wedge-shaped or be too narrow at points. The gap

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF EXPLOSION FROM ALUMINUM GRINDING DUST, RISK OF INJURY TO
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM FROM INHALING DUST - AS60.00-Z-0007-01N

Wear protective respiratory mask, protective gloves and safety glasses. Use suitable, grounded vacuum
cleaner

Risk of explosion

When grinding and polishing aluminum as well as its alloys, dust is created. It is combustible and capable of
exploding when mixed with air. Aluminum dust is one of the types of dust which can cause extremely severe
reactions in terms of its combustion and explosive properties.

When mixed with air, aluminum dust reacts just as violently as magnesium. The following areas are considered
to be explosion hazard areas : grinding equipment stands, inner chambers of protective hoods, ventilation and
evacuation ducts, separators and an area within a radius of 3.00 m. In addition to this fire hazard areas are
those areas within a radius of 5.00 m around the source of the dust.
Risk of injury

Aluminum dust is produced when working on aluminum components by cutting, grinding, polishing, etc. This
dust irritates the bronchial tubes and may damage the lungs.

Safety precautions/instructions

 A basic safety precaution is to remove the aluminum dust as it is generated.


 When working with aluminum wear dust filter mask, eye protection and protective gloves.
 Avoid stirring up the dust created, evacuate immediately while working.
 The evacuation equipment must be grounded to prevent a dust explosion.

During the drying process with wet separation , the dust should be moistened immediately behind the source
so that it is bound completely together and forms a sludge-like substance.

During the drying procedure with dry separation , the following precautions are necessary:

 Set up dust remover outside of immediate work area.


 The dust remover should be pressure-resistant and equipped with an explosion suppression feature to
prevent any possible dust explosions from exploding into the working room.
 Evacuation and protective hoods should be produced using non-sparking materials.
 The working rooms should have two exits and be designed so that the least possible quantity of dust can
deposit and settle.

Access to rooms with explosion-hazard areas must be marked with the proper prohibition sign

"Fire, ope n flames and smoking prohibited"

 Suitable powder fire extinguishers must be present.


 Equipment such as heavy-duty emergency showers are urgently required for extinguishing clothing fires
outside of the work rooms.

For further information, see accident prevention regulations.

RISK OF INJURY CAUSED BY IRRITATION OF THE SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
THROUGH CONTACT OR INHALATION OF SUBSTANCES CONTAINED IN THE MIRROR
LENS. - AS60.00-Z-0008-01R

Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.


Risk of injury

 The liquid electrolyte contained in the mirror lens may escape if the lens is broken.
 This liquid electrolyte is an irritant. It is therefore important that the liquid electrolyte does not come into
contact with unprotected skin, eyes or respiratory organs.
 For further information see the accident prevention regulations (UVV) or the trade association
regulations.

Safety precautions/instructions

 Wear protective gloves and safety glasses.

First aid measures

 Immediately rinse affected skin areas with plenty of clean water and dry or dress with sterile bandages.
 A medical service and/or physician should be consulted after first aid has been applied.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
RECYCLE ALUMINUM PARTS - OS60.00-P-0001-01N

Due to the increasing environmental consciousness and intent of the legislation to require proof of recycling of
old cars and old parts when the old car code becomes effective, it is necessary to specifically recycle non-
ferrous metals, such as aluminum.

This means for repair shops to separate the various materials such as steel or aluminum as precisely and
carefully as possible.

The main objective of the shredder technology primarily used in vehicle and old part recycling is to reach a
clean steel/iron fraction and to separate the largest possible percentage of nonferrous metals.

The objective of the legislation is to increase the recycling quota for old vehicles and old parts to 95 %.

ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE, FUNCTION - GF42.20-P-0001LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of Model Year 09 /modification year 08

Function requirements - electric parking brake (EFB) general

 C. 30 ON

Electronic parking brake (EFB) general

The electronic parking brake makes it possible to hold the vehicle at a standstill on gradients even in the
absence of the driver, the braking parts being held de-energized in the brake position by a self-locking
mechanical effect.

The EFB operates the parking brake at the rear axle via cables by an electric motor integrated in the electric
parking brake controller unit (A13).

Activation takes place manually via the electric parking brake switch (S76/15) or automatically depending on
the driving condition.

Depending on the operating condition of the parking brake the driver's wish is converted into a corresponding
tension force build up or reduction at the actuators.

Mechanical release makes it possible to release the electronic parking brake in the event of a defect and in
the de-energized condition. The release cable is located at the fuel filler flap and can be operated using the
vehicle tool kit.

The electronic parking brake (EFB) function is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Function sequence - apply and release parking brake


 Function sequence - release parking brake automatically
 Function sequence - emergency braking
 Function sequence - dynamometer test mode

Additional function requirements - applying and releasing parking brake

 Vehicle speed v < 3.5 km/h


 Terminal 15R On or with code (889) Keyless Go terminal 15 On (only for releasing the parking brake)

Function sequence - applying and releasing the parking brake

The electric parking brake controller unit calculates the vehicle speed from the wheel speeds which the ESP
control unit (N47-5) provides on the chassis CAN.

The EIS [EZS] control unit makes available the circuit status circuit 15 on the chassis CAN N73

The central gateway control unit (N93) passes on all the relevant information to the electric parking brake
controller unit via the front end CAN

By operating the electric parking brake switch, applying or releasing the parking brake is requested
corresponding to the operating condition.

The electric parking brake controller unit reads in the status of the electric parking brake switch directly,
transmits this on the front end CAN and actuates the integrated electric motor accordingly. The parking brake is
applied or released via the brake cables. The operating period of the electric parking brake switch does not have
any influence on the function.

The central gateway control unit passes on the status of the electric parking brake switch to the instrument
cluster (A1) via the central CAN. The instrument cluster receives this and actuates the electric parking brake
warning light (red).

Additional function requirements - release parking brake automatically

 Engine running (circuit 61 ON)


 Selector lever position "D" or "R"
 Engine hood closed
 Trunk lid closed

(only for selector lever position "R")


 Driver door closed (only if driver is not wearing the seat belt)

Function sequence - release parking brake automatically

The function of release parking brake automatically is carried out as soon as the accelerator pedal position
exceeds a certain threshold value. The accelerator pedal position is recorded via the accelerator pedal sensor
(B37), the signals of which are read in by the CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or by the motor
electronics control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine).

The CDI control unit or motor electronics transmits circuit status circuit 61 and the accelerator pedal position on
the chassis CAN. The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80) transmits the current transmission
selector lever on the drive train CAN. The CDI control unit or motor electronics control unit passes this on the
chassis CAN.

The left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) makes
available the status of the driver door on the interior CAN.

The rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) transmits the status of the trunk lid and engine
hood on the interior CAN.

The central gateway control unit) passes on all the relevant information to the electric parking brake controller
unit via the front end CAN

The electric parking brake controller unit is woken up by the corresponding CAN messages and releases the
parking brake by actuating the integrated electric motor.

If the electronic parking brake is not released as a result of a fault, the instrument cluster outputs the message
"Release parking brake" via the multifunction display (A1p13) and in addition an acoustic warning sounds.

If circuit 30 has been interrupted automatic release is not possible. The electronic parking brake must be
woken up via the electric parking brake switch or circuit 87. The electric parking brake controller unit receives
the signal circuit 87 directly from the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1).

Additional function requirements - emergency braking

 Vehicle speed v > 3.5 km/h

(calculated by electric parking brake controller unit)

Function sequence - emergency braking

If the electric parking brake switch is operated and held while driving, the electric parking brake controller unit
transmits a brake request on the front end CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this on to the following
control units:

 ESP control unit via the chassis CAN


 Instrument cluster via the central CAN

In the event of a service brake malfunction (e.g. CAN communication faulty) the brake application only takes
place by the electric parking brake control unit via the parking brake. For this the electric parking brake
controller unit evaluates the signals from the left front RPM sensor (L6/1), right front RPM sensor (L6/2), left
rear RPM sensor (L6/3) and right rear RPM sensor(L6/4) in order to prevent the rear wheels locking. The
signals from the RPM sensors are provided on the chassis CAN by the ESP control unit and passed on to the
electric parking brake controller unit by the central gateway control unit via the front end CAN.

The request from the brake light actuation is likewise issued by the

 Rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module via the interior CAN

The vehicle is now braked via the service brake. The rear SAM control unit activates the brake light actuation.

The instrument cluster gives the message "Release parking brake" via the multifunction display and in addition
an acoustic warning sounds.

electric parking brake controller unit.

In addition the electric parking brake warning lamp (yellow) is actuated in the instrument cluster. The electric
parking brake controller unit transmits corresponding requests on the front end CAN. The central gateway
control unit passes these on to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

Additional function requirements - test bench mode

 Front wheel "stationary" and rear wheels turn slowly (roller brake test stand)
 ESP Off switch (S6/2s11) operated

Function sequence - dynamometer test mode

Activation of the roller test mode prevents faults being stored in the ESP control unit.

The electric parking brake controller unit is actuated by operating the electric parking brake switch.

The force is built up at the brake cables in a constantly rising manner until the maximum force is applied.

As a result the deceleration values of the parking brake can be recorded and the brakes of the parking brake
bedded in if necessary.

The process can be repeated up to 3-times, in which a cooling off time should be maintained between the brake
applications.

To replace the brake cables the electronic parking brake is either brought into the assembly position or
unlocked manually. Once the work is complete the electronic parking brake is again put into the operational
condition by pressing the electric parking brake switch.

Function

The electric parking brake (EFB) operates the parking brake at the rear axle via cables by an electric motor
integrated in the controller unit.

Activation takes place manually via the electric parking brake switch or automatically depending on the driving
condition.

The electronic parking brake is operational as soon as the power supply terminal 30 is present.

A manual unlocking makes it possible to release the EFB also in the event of a defect and in the de-
energized condition. The release cable is located in the fuel filler flap and can be operated with the help of the
vehicle tool kit.

The electronic parking brake contains the following functions:

 Apply and release the parking brake


 Automatic parking brake release
 Emergency braking
 Test bench mode

Apply and release the parking brake

Function requirement

 Speed less than 3.5 km/h or vehicle stationary


 Terminal 15R On or with code (889) Keyless Go terminal 15 On (only for releasing the parking brake)

Function

When the electric parking brake switch is operated a signal is transmitted directly to the controller unit.
Depending on the condition the controller unit releases or tensions the brake cables via the integrated electric
motor.

The operating period of the electric parking brake switch does not have any influence on the function.

Automatic parking brake release

Function requirement

 Engine runs (terminal 61)


 Selector lever position "D" or "R"
 Engine hood closed
 Trunk lid closed (only in selector lever position "R")
 Driver door closed (only if driver is not wearing the seat belt)

Function

The function is triggered when the accelerator pedal position exceeds a certain threshold. The controller unit is
awoken via the corresponding CAN-messages and releases the brake cables via the integrated electric motor.

For the case that the electronic parking brake does not release the display "Release parking brake" is displayed
in the instrument cluster and a warning tone sounds.

If terminal 30 has been interrupted, automatic release is not possible. The electronic parking brake must first
be woken via the Electric parking brake switch or terminal 87. The controller unit receives the signal terminal
87 directly from the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1).

Emergency case braking with the electric parking brake switch

Function requirement

 Speed greater than 3, 5 km/h


Function

When the Electric parking brake switch is operated and held, the braking request is transmitted to the ESP
control unit. The vehicle is now braked via the service brake, ABS or ESP interventions are also performed if
necessary

The stop lamp actuation is activated.

The display "Release parking brake" appears in the instrument cluster and a warning tone sounds.

In the event of a service brake malfunction (e.g. CAN communication faulty) the brake application takes place
by the controller via the parking brake.

Similar to an ABS a control intervention takes place when blocking of a rear wheel is detected by the RPM
sensor.

Test stand mode

Function requirement

 Front wheels "stationary" and rear wheels turn slowly (roller brake test stand)
 ESP Off switch (S6/2s11) operated

Function

The controller unit is actuated by operating the electric parking brake switch. The force is built up at the brake
cables in a constantly rising manner until the maximum force is applied. As a result for example the linings of
the parking brake can be bedded in or the deceleration values determined.

The process can be repeated up to 3-times, in which a cooling off time should be maintained between the brake
applications.

Brake cable replacement

To replace the brake cables the electronic parking brake is either brought into the assembly position or unlocked
manually. Once the work is complete the electronic parking brake is again put into the operational condition by
pressing the electric parking brake switch.

Location

The regenerative braking system control unit is located on the traction system hydraulic unit in the right front of
the engine compartment.

Task

General

The regenerative braking system is a brake and vehicle dynamics control system of a modular design (only the
affected functions are switched off in the event of a fault) The regenerative braking system is a further
development of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and contains the functions of the ESP.

If the vehicle reaches the critical limits of road-holding or if a control intervention function of the controllable
speed limiter (without code (494) USA version) or of cruise control is necessary, the regenerative braking
system control unit causes active interventions by the brake system or interventions in the engine control.

If necessary the required wheel-individual brake pressure is calculated taking into account the "ESP", "ABS",
"ASR" algorithms or the "added value functions" by the regenerative braking system control unit and adjusted
in the solenoid valves of the hydraulic components. The pressure regulator adjusts the required brake pressure
in each wheel.

The regenerative braking system control unit contains the control for the following systems:

Electronic stability program (ESP)


 Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR)
 Engine drag torque control (MSR)
 Antilock brake system (ABS)
 Brake Assist (BAS)
 Electronic Traction System (ETS)
 Tire pressure loss warning (except code (475) Tire pressure monitor (Siemens))
 PRE-SAFE
 Speed-sensitive power steering (SPS [PML])
 Cruise control
 Limiter (except code (494) USA version)
 Added value functions (SBC hold, precharging and dry braking)
 Deceleration coordination of DISTRONIC PLUS (with code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS)

Flashing

The regenerative braking system control unit is flashable i.e. the complete software in the control unit can be
updated (replaced). The software required to program the control units is stored on the STAR DIAGNOSIS
DAS Update DVD.

BRAKING ASSISTANT (BAS) - OPERATION - GF42.31-P-0001SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 up to Model Year 8

Fig. 10: Braking Assistant Reference Graph


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Investigations with normal drivers in the driving simulator and on the test track have shown that most drivers in
emergency braking situations, above all in the initial phase of braking, operate the brake pedal quickly but not
hard enough.

A distinction is made between:

 Hesitant brake application


 in the initial phase the driver applies too little pedal force and increases it too slowly

 Inadequate brake application


 the driver applies too little pedal force throughout the entire brake application

To improve these situations, the active safety system Brake Assist (BAS) has been developed. The Brake Assist
System is active when the driver brakes very rapidly in an emergency situation. The system detects whether an
emergency braking situation exists on the basis of the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal.

The speed of brake actuation is recorded via the BAS diaphragm travel sensor (A7/7b1) in the BAS brake
booster (A7/7). The BAS function is terminated corresponding to the signal of the BAS release switch (A7/7s1)
(Pedal not actuated).

The deceleration through BAS is achieved by actuation of the BAS solenoid valve (A7/7y1) in the brake
booster.

Benefits:

 Basic reduction in brake distance in the event of hesitant or inadequate brake application
 Assisting the antilock brake system (ABS) by as large as possible brake force boosting
 ABS maintains the full steerability also in the event of intervention by BAS

The BAS function is triggered by the ESP control unit (N47-5).

Location

The brake booster is located in the left of the major assemblies compartment.

Task

Like a conventional brake booster the brake booster assists the pedal force of the driver when braking but
activates, in the case of emergency braking, the Brake Assist (BAS).

Design

The brake booster contains the following electrical components:


 BAS diaphragm travel sensor
 BAS release switch
 BAS solenoid valve
 Brake fluid indicator switch

Function

The brake booster is constantly supplied with vacuum via a vacuum line. When the brake is not operated the
same vacuum acts on both sides of the diaphragm. A push spring holds the diaphragm plate in its starting
position.

During the brake application outside air is lead to the back of the diaphragm via a port. Between the front and
rear chamber of the amplifier a pressure difference occurs which acts in the direction of the master brake
cylinder and thus assists the foot force.

In the event of emergency braking the brake booster is actuated by the ESP control unit via the BAS solenoid
valve (N47-5).

Function requirements of electronic traction system (ETS) 4MATIC, general

 Circuit 61 (engine running)


 Electronic Stability Program (ESP) not deactivated

Electronic traction system (ETS) 4MATIC general

The ETS is a system which operated automatically to improve the starting off and acceleration ability on
different road surface condition. It replaces the automatic locking differential (ASD). The system operates via
an intervention by the brakes at the driven wheels. No engine control cycle is activated. The ETS prevents one-
sided spinning of the drive wheels when starting off and accelerating as well as the drive wheels spinning
briefly on both sides when cornering within specified speed ranges.
Function sequence - 4MATIC electronic traction system

Should one or more wheels spin on a smooth base the necessary brake pressure is automatically built up at each
wheel in order to brake the spinning wheels

Simultaneously due to the locking differential effect the drive torque is shifted to the wheels which are not
spinning.

The ESP warning lamp or Electronic Stability Program (A1e41) signals in the IC (A1) when a wheel speed no
longer agrees with the vehicle speed. It thus warns the driver that he has approached the physical driving limits
with his vehicle.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM (ESP) FUNCTION - GF42.45-P-0001SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 up to Model Year 8

Schematic representation
Fig. 12: Identifying Vehicle Understeer & Oversteer
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Function on example of an understeering vehicle (A)

If the vehicle understeers the drive torque is reduced as a first measure. If as a result the developing instability
cannot be prevented, a brake pressure is built up at the left rear wheel. Due to the reduction in lateral stability
and the build up of brake force at the left rear wheel a yawing moment occurs which causes the desired turning
in of the vehicle. The speed decreases as a result of the brake force at the rear wheel, which also enhances
stability.

Function on the example of an oversteering vehicle (B)

If the vehicle starts to oversteer, the drive torque is first reduced. If this cannot prevent the developing
instability, brake pressure is built up at the right front wheel. This causes a yawing moment which counteracts
the turning in motion of the vehicle. The speed decreases as a result of the brake force at the front wheel, which
also enhances stability.

General

The Electronic Stability Program) (ESP) is an active safety system for improving the vehicle stability in all
driving situations. It operates by individual brake intervention at one or more wheels on the front or rear axle.
The ESP stabilizes the vehicle when cornering, when braking or when rolling without drive and keeps it safely
on course. It supplements the familiar functions of the antilock brake system (ABS), the acceleration slip
regulation (ASR) and the engine braking regulation (MAR).

The function of the stability control overrides the ABS and ASR control systems.

In addition to active ESP brake intervention there is also an influence on the engine/transmission management

The ESP controls under the following driving conditions:

 when cornering (vehicle under- or oversteered)


 when driving straight ahead (vehicle deviates off course due to uneven road conditions)

Advantages of ESP:

 Improvement in the starting-off and acceleration capability due to increased traction, particularly on a
road with different adhesion and on curves
 Automatic adaptation of the engine torque depending on the traction condition of the wheels
 Reduction in the risk of skidding under all road surface conditions by automatic stabilization when
braking, accelerating or rolling
 Improvement in the lane stability of the vehicle when cornering, also up to the critical limits
 Increase in active driving dynamics safety, as only one wheel which is not spinning permits the optimum
traction without loss of lateral stability

The ESP contains the following systems:

 ABS: Avoidance of locking of individual wheels by reducing the brake pressure at the wheels in question
 ASR: Prevents a too high slip of the driven wheels when starting off and accelerating due to torque
reduction
 MAR: Reduction in wheel slip of the drive wheels in overrun mode and as a result better directional
stability and road adhesion
Fig. 13: Electronic Stability Program Function Diagram

Function overview

Brake forces, driving forces and side forces which act on the vehicle endeavor to turn the vehicle about the
vertical axis. The ESP records the vehicle characteristics and for correction specifically brakes individual
wheels or several wheels. It regulates when cornering (vehicle understeers or oversteers) and when driving
straight ahead (vehicle deviates from course due to dissimilar road conditions).

Sensor system

A distinction is made between sensors which detect the driver's requirement (e.g. the steering angle sensor) and
sensors which record the actual vehicle handling. These include:

 Yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor


 Wheel speed sensor

The ESP control unit is constantly supplied with the current data via engine torque and transmission ratio.

Via the turn rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor the brake forces, drive forces and side forces
are recorded which want to turn the vehicle about the vertical axis (yaw rate). The torque acting on the
vehicle can be calculated from the information listed. If this value exceeds certain control thresholds then
the wheels in question are braked by the ESP control unit to neutralize the torque acting.

For drive torque reduction a torque requirement is specified to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI
control unit. A downshift is prevented by the VGS control unit or ETC [EGS] control unit. The selective
and accurately modulated intervention takes place in a few fractions of a second.

Active brake intervention and drive torque reduction by the ESP ensure optimum vehicle stability. The
following processes are performed:

 ESP brake torque control circuit


 ABS control

 ASR control

 ESP drive torque control circuit

ESP braking torque control circuit

ASR control

The brake pressure at the spinning wheel is increased via the ESP control unit to brake the spinning
wheel. A locking differential effect can be achieved as a result.

ESP drive torque control circuit

 ASR-control
 MSR-control

ESP braking torque control circuit

ABS control

If one wheel tends to lock the brake pressure at this wheel is reduced. The brake pressure is controlled via
the ESP control unit.

ASR control

To reduce a too large drive torque and as a result to achieve optimum traction, a drive torque reduction
takes place via the chassis CAN between the ESP control unit and the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI
control unit. The ESP control unit checks constantly whether, the control function can be canceled for
example, as a result of a sudden improvement in road adhesion. So the drive torque specified by the
driver via the accelerator pedal sensor (B37) can be permitted again as soon as possible.

ESP drive torque control circuit

EBR control
If slip occurs at the drive wheels in overrun mode, this is detected by the ESP control unit. The signal is
transmitted via the chassis CAN to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or the CDI control unit. With this
information wheel slip is reduced by increasing drive torque and as a result the lateral control of the
vehicle is increased. This process take place without the ESP warning lamp being switched on.

ESP brake torque and drive torque control circuit

ESP control

If oversteer or understeer is detected, a calculated brake intervention is arranged at the appropriate wheel.
This braking action deliberately counteracts the undesirable vehicle motion.

A signal to the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI control unit via chassis CAN achieves the reduction in
drive torque to suit the requirements by reducing the engine torque.

ESP OFF mode

The response threshold for ESP can be set up via the ESP OFF switch. The ESP "Shutoff" is displayed by
the ESP warning lamp (A1e41) in the instrument cluster which lights up permanently. This can provide
better traction (grinding effect) in deep snow or when snow chains are fitted. ESP is always active during
a brake application. ASR only controls through individual wheel brake interventions at the drive wheels,
but not through influencing the engine management. ABS cannot be deactivated by the driver.

Optical status indication

The current condition of the ESP can be reported to the driver via the ESP warning lamp.

There are the following displays:

 ESP warning lamp flashes


 ESP currently controlling

 ESP is switched off and there is slip at least one wheel

 ESP warning lamp lights up


 ESP is switched off there no slip at any wheel

 ESP is inoperative (fault), a corresponding text message is also output in the

multifunction display (A1p13)

Location

The cockpit switch group with the ESP OFF switch is located on the right next to the instrument cluster (A1).

Task

The Electronic Stability Program) (ESP) can be switched active and passive using the ESP OFF switch.

Function

The ESP OFF switch signal is read in via the OBF-LIN [upper control panel-local interconnect network] by the
upper control panel control unit (N72/1). The upper control panel control unit transmits the signal on the interior
CAN.

The ESP control unit (N47-5) switches the ESP function passive. ESP is always active during a brake
application.

The ESP warning lamp (A1e41) in the instrument cluster lights up permanently when ESP is switched
passive.

Location

The left and right front RPM sensor are located in the steering knuckle of the front axle.

The left and right rear RPM sensor are located in the wheel carrier of the rear axle.

Task

The RPM sensors supply the current wheel speeds as a square wave signal to the ESP control unit (N47-5). The
ESP control unit evaluates these signals with regard to direction of rotation, wheel speed and fault detection.
Fig. 21: RPM Sensor Signal Waveform
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The display shows the current curve through the active RPM sensor during an acceleration phase.

Function

A change in internal resistance inside the RPM sensor is caused by the strength and direction of an external
magnetic field. Via an electronic analysis system accommodated in the speed sensor (supplied with voltage
from the ESP control unit) a square wave signal is produced, the frequency of which depends on the RPM,
however the amplitude is constant. Due to a different signal pattern when the wheel is moving to the left or right
the direction of travel is detected. This signal is read in by the ESP control unit and transmitted on the chassis
CAN.

The external magnetic field is produced by a multipole ring. This consists of an elastomer plastic with metal
particles embedded in it. Via a special magnetization process these have been aligned so that various magnets
arise, the polarity of which changes from North to South at the periphery.

Advantages compared with a passive (inductive) RPM sensor:

 Sensing of low RPM possible (makes possible recording of speed from 0 km/h)
 Improvement in signal quality (digital signal).
 Signal largely insensitive to vibrations and temperature differences
 Low weight and compact construction

The status "Circuit 61 ON" is sent to the chassis CAN (CAN E) by the CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel
engine) or the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine).

Model 221 as of 1.6.09, model 216 as of 1.9.10

There are 2 ABR variants in use:

activated via the instrument cluster (A1) and afterwards the engine is started. The vehicle dynamics control
systems are switched passive. The ESP warning lamp (A1e41) and ABS indicator lamp (A1e17) in the
instrument cluster light up. In addition, a message is displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the
instrument cluster. Roller dynamometer mode can also be activated via diagnosis.

Function sequence, ESP

ESP prevents breakaway when the vehicle oversteers or understeers. Within physical limits it ensures that the
vehicle does not deviate from the course specified by the driver. Brake forces are produced selectively at the
individual wheels to correct any deviations. Furthermore, reduction of the drive torque takes place in order to
increase directional stability and road adhesion.

The ESP control unit immediately carries out a self-test upon "circuit 15 ON". If there are no system errors, the
ESP becomes operational and starts carrying out its functions.

Furthermore, the ESP control unit carries out system tests continuously during operation. Malfunctions and
faults are stored in the fault memory.

To determine the vehicle handling the ESP control unit processes the following measured quantities:

 Yaw velocity and lateral acceleration recorded by the yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal
acceleration
 Steering wheel angle recorded by the steering angle sensor
 Brake pressure, recorded by left front pressure sensor (A7/3b3), right front pressure sensor (A7/3b4), left
rear pressure sensor (A7/3b5), right rear pressure sensor (A7/3b6) (except model 221 as of YoM 09
model refinement package) and by the front axle brake pressure sensor (A7/3b1) in the traction system
hydraulic unit
 Transmission shift stage, provided by the ETC [EGS] control unit (N15/3) (with transmission 722.6) or
fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) (Y3/8n4) (with transmission 722.9) on the drive train
CAN (CAN C) and passed on by the central gateway control unit (N93) to the chassis CAN

The side-slip angle (angle between vehicle longitudinal axis and direction of movement of the vehicle's center
of gravity) is calculated using the yaw rate (speed of vehicle rotation about vertical axis of vehicle).

The yaw rate, the lateral acceleration and the turning angle of the front wheels (calculated from the steering
wheel angle) can be used to determine the lateral forces on the wheels.

The longitudinal forces at the wheels are calculated from the engine torque, transmission shift stage and brake
pressure. If the yaw angle velocity measured does not match the specified value or if the determined side-slip
angle is too large, the ESP control unit generates a signal for brake force build-up or reduction for the relevant
wheel. The resulting forces stabilize the vehicle.

A distinction is made between the following interventions:

 Intervention in the case of oversteer


 Intervention in the case of understeer

Intervention in the case of oversteer

If the vehicle begins to oversteer, brake pressure is built up at the outer front wheel. The resulting reduction in
lateral force at the outer front wheel generates a yawing moment which counteracts the tendency of the vehicle
to rotate inward. The vehicle speed decreases as a result of the brake force at the front wheel, which also
enhances stability.

Intervention in the case of understeer

If the vehicle understeers, the maximum possible lateral force at the front axle has been exceeded. This means
that the vehicle pushes itself over the front axle and toward the outer edge of the corner. If at this point the
driver depresses the accelerator pedal, the drive torque is first of all reduced. If this is not sufficient, brake
pressure is built up at the rear wheel on the inside of the curve.

Depending on the brake force, a torque is generated which causes the vehicle to rotate inward with a
simultaneous reduction in speed.

This has a considerable stabilizing effect.

To reduce the drive torque the ESP control unit transmits a signal via the chassis CAN to the CDI control unit
or to motor electronics control unit which thereupon reduces the engine power accordingly.

A pending shift operation is suppressed for the duration of control intervention.

For this the ESP control unit transmits the "Downshift suppression" signal on the chassis CAN. The CDI control
unit or the motor electronics control unit passes this on to the ETC [EGS] control unit or VGS control unit. The
ETC [EGS] control unit or VGS control unit suppresses any imminent shift operation.

EBD function sequence

EBD assists the driver in the partial braking area. Overbraking of the rear axle is prevented. Vehicle stability is
increased while braking in the curve, while if necessary the pressure at the rear wheel on the inside of the curve
is reduced or at the front wheel on the outside of the curve is increased.

ABS function sequence

ABS prevents the wheels from locking up when braking and as a result maintains the steerability and directional
stability and road adhesion during vehicle deceleration. If a locking wheel is detected by the ESP control unit on
the basis of the signals from the RPM sensors, the brake pressure is reduced at the appropriate brake cylinder
until the wheel begins to turn again.

ASR function sequence

ASR prevents the drive wheels from spinning while driving. In addition it causes improved driving stability for
increased traction potential over the entire speed range.

ASR is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Function sequence - drive torque control


 Function sequence - brake torque control

Function sequence for drive torque control

The ESP control unit records the spinning of the drive wheels via the signals from the RPM sensors.

Wheel spinning is countered by reduction of the drive torque. For this the ESP control unit transmits a signal for
drive torque reduction via the chassis CAN to the CDI control unit or to the motor electronics control unit
which reduces the engine power accordingly.

The system constantly checks whether the drive torque specified by the driver via the accelerator pedal sensor
can be allowed again e.g. due to improved road adhesion.

Function sequence - brake torque control

Selective interventions by the brake system at the spinning drive wheel means that the drive torque is
transmitted to the opposite drive wheel which is running normally.

Brake Assist (BAS) function sequence (model 221 up to 31.5.09 and model 216 up to 31.8.10)

BAS detects emergency braking situations by means of a rapid brake pedal operation via the BAS membrane
travel sensor (A7/7b1) and if necessary increases the brake pressure via the BAS solenoid valve (A7/7y1) in
order to achieve maximum possible deceleration.
The ESP control unit evaluates the increase in pressure in the brake system and initiates an emergency stop if a
certain triggering threshold is exceeded.

Brake Assist (BAS) function sequence (model 221 as of 1.6.09, model 216 as of 1.9.10)

BAS detects emergency braking situations by means of a rapid brake pedal operation via the front axle brake
pressure sensor (A7/3b1) in the traction system hydraulic unit and if necessary increases the brake pressure via
the high pressure and return flow pump (A7/3m1) of the traction system hydraulic unit in order to achieve
maximum possible deceleration. The ESP control unit evaluates the increase in pressure in the brake system and
initiates an emergency stop if a certain triggering threshold is exceeded.

On the basic system with brake light switch (S9/1), the following components on the BAS brake booster are
not needed:

 BAS diaphragm travel sensor


 BAS solenoid valve

Tire pressure loss warning function sequence (except code (475) Tire pressure monitor (Premium))

The tire pressure loss warning (RDW) system detects a significant pressure loss at a tire and then displays a
warning message in the instrument cluster.

Functional principle of tire pressure loss warning system:

On tires, there is a link between the rolling circumference and the tire inflation pressure. This link is evaluated
by performing a relative comparison of the wheel speeds.

Furthermore, the following ESP sensor signals recorded by the yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal
acceleration are included in the calculation:

 Lateral acceleration
 Turn rate
 Wheel moments
 BAS release switch (A7/7s1)

Properties of function:

 Detection of significant pressure loss at a wheel.


 Active from a minimum speed (v > approx. 15 km/h).
 Active during straight-ahead travel, lateral acceleration less than 1.5 m/s2 , during uniform driving,
longitudinal acceleration less than 1 m/s2 .
 Inactive during control interventions (ABS, ASR, ESP).
 Inactive with high drive torque and during braking.
Partially active with a low coefficient of friction, on rough roads, snow chains.
 The tire pressure loss warning (without position indication) takes place after a few minutes of driving. In
the subsequent ignition sequences, a reminder message is displayed, provided that the system has not
been reactivated.
 The tire pressure loss warning system has to be reactivated in the instrument cluster's menu if tires or
wheels are changed or the tire inflation pressures are changed. This erases any pending warning
messages.
 After reactivation by the driver, the system automatically teaches in the new conditions. The teach-in
process takes roughly 10 min per speed interval. There are 7 intervals. The system is able to issue
warnings in the intervals which have been taught in (and the directly adjacent intervals).
 Uniform pressure loss at all 4 tires (e.g. due to diffusion) cannot be detected.
 Incorrect operation by the driver cannot be detected (e.g. reactivation despite significantly low pressure).

Speed-sensitive power steering (SPS) function sequence

The task of speed-sensitive power steering is to adjust the steering assistance depending on the vehicle speed.
This is achieved by a current-controlled SPS solenoid valve (Y10) on the steering gear which is actuated by the
ESP control unit. Greater steering assistance is provided at low vehicle speeds and less steering assistance is
provided at high vehicle speeds. The ESP control unit receives the vehicle speed signal from the instrument
cluster via the chassis CAN.

Additional function requirements for HOLD function (starting-off aid)

 Transmission selector lever not in position "P"


 Vehicle not secured with parking brake
 Incline detected with vehicle at standstill

HOLD function sequence (starting-off aid)

The HOLD function assists the driver when starting off on a hill or during waiting times in traffic. The HOLD
function is activated by briskly depressing the brake pedal at a standstill.

The activation of the HOLD function is displayed to the driver by the message "HOLD" in the instrument
cluster.

The adjusted brake pressure is held until the driver again presses with a certain pressure on the brake pedal or
starts off.

The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80) transmits the transmission selector lever position on
the drive train CAN. The CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit passes this status on to the ESP control
unit via the chassis CAN.

The electric parking brake controller unit (A13) transmits the status of the parking brake via the front end CAN
(CAN G). The central gateway control unit passes this status on to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN.

The yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal acceleration transmits information on a detected incline to the
ESP control unit via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H).

Furthermore, the HOLD function will be deactivated automatically under the following conditions:

 Operation of parking brake


 Change of transmission selector lever position into position "P"

Under the following conditions the HOLD function is switched off automatically before the driver leaves the
vehicle:

 Driver door opened with "Circuit 15 ON" and seat belt not fastened (message on multifunction display)

The status "Circuit 15 ON" is sent to the chassis CAN by the EZS control unit (N73).

On model 216 the status of the driver door is defined via the status of the left rotary tumbler switch (A85s1)
which is read in by the left door control unit (N69/1).

On model 221 the status of the driver door is defined via the status of the left front rotary tumbler switch
(A85s1) which is read in by the left door control unit (N69/1).

The status of the driver door is transmitted in each case on the interior CAN (CAN B). The central gateway
control unit passes this status on to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN.

Additional function requirements - precharging

 No active control intervention function by ABS, ASR or ESP


 ESP not switched passive

Precharging function sequence

The precharging function applies the brake pads to the brake disk in the event of a supposed emergency braking
situation being detected

The clearance between the brake pad and brake disk is thus compensated before the driver operates the brake.

The response time of the brake is improved and therefore contributes to the reduction in braking distance.

Emergency braking detection takes place via the release gradient of the accelerator pedal sensor, which is based
on the (Controller Area Network (data bus/CAN Bus) (CAN) signal) "Accelerator pedal position".

Additional function requirements - dry braking

 No active control intervention function by ABS, ASR or ESP


 Windshield wiper active

The front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) transmits the status "windshield wiper
active" on the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this status on to the ESP control unit via
the chassis CAN.

Dry braking function sequence

Dry braking assists the performance capability of the front axle brake under wet conditions. The water film is
wiped off the brake disk by cyclically applying the brake pads for t = 0.5 s with a brake pressure p < or = bar.

This improves the response time of the brake.

If a rapid release of the accelerator pedal is detected, the system assumes that the driver intends to brake. The
precharging function is activated and a brake pressure of p = 3 to 4 bar is requested.

Function sequence for switching ASR and ESP to passive mode (model 216 and model 221 up to 31.5.09)

The ASR and ESP functions can be switched passive by operating the ESP OFF switch (S6/2s11) in the cockpit
switch group (S6/2).

The upper control panel control unit (N72/1) reads in the status of the ESP OFF switch via the instrument panel
LIN (LIN 1) and transmits this status on the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this status on
to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN. If the functions are switched passive, the ESP warning lamp lights
up in the instrument cluster. The control thresholds are raised when the ASR and ESP functions are switched
passive.

ABS cannot be deactivated. ESP is always active during a brake application.

Function sequence for switching ASR and ESP to passive mode (model 216 and model 221 as of 1.6.09)

In driving mode the ASR and ESP functions can be switched passive with the left multifunction steering wheel
button group (S110) and right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111) via the "Assist" menu and
"ESP" submenu in the instrument cluster.

The IC receives control signals from the multifunction steering wheel (MFL) in the following way:

 Steering LIN (LIN E1)


 Steering column tube module (N80)
 Chassis CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Central CAN (CAN F)

The instrument cluster then transmits the request "ESP_OFF" to the central gateway control unit. The central
gateway control unit passes this on to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN.

If the functions are switched passive, the ESP warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster. The control
thresholds are raised when the ASR and ESP functions are switched passive.
ABS cannot be deactivated. ESP is always active during a brake application.

PRE-SAFE® system, PRE-SENSE function sequence, (model 221 as of 1.6.09, model 216 as of 2.9.10)

The PRE-SAFE® system, PRE-SENSE is activated in critical driving conditions, i.e. in a potential accident
situation. The goal is to create the most favorable conditions possible for the occupants during the expected
accident by activating the functions before the actual impact. The PRE-SAFE® system, PRE-SENSE is
integrated in the ESP control unit. If the ESP control unit detects one of the following situations, the PRE-
SAFE® system, PRE-SENSE is activated:

 Panic after-braking (the driver's braking wish is greater than physically possible)
 Pronounced oversteer (breaking away of vehicle rear in combination with severe ESP control intervention
functions)
 Severe understeer (the vehicle leans heavily over the front wheels for an extensive period))
 Rapid steering movements at high speeds, which suggest a shock reaction from the driver and may lead to
vehicle instability

The PRE-SAFE® system, PRE-SENSE is described in a separate function description.

Additional function requirements for the Hill Start Assist

 Transmission not in position "N"


 Vehicle not secured with parking brake
 Incline detected with vehicle at standstill

Hill Start Assist function sequence

When starting off Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle rolling back opposite to the gear range engaged during
the time it takes for the driver to move his/her foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

The function is triggered automatically, if when the vehicle is at a standstill an incline is detected via the yaw
rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal acceleration which would cause rolling in the opposite direction to the
gear range engaged.

The data from the yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal acceleration is read in by the ESP control unit via
the vehicle dynamics CAN. For this the brake pressure applied by the driver is maintained by the traction
system hydraulic unit for a period of t = 0.8 to 1.5 s and switched off by a sufficiently large starting off torque.

The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT transmits the transmission selector lever position on the
drive train CAN. The CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit passes this status on to the ESP control unit
via the chassis CAN.

The electric parking brake controller unit transmits the status of the parking brake on the front end CAN.

The central gateway control unit passes this status on to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN.
Failed Boost function sequence (with code (Z07) Highest protection, model 216.3 and model 221 with
code (B03) ECO start/stop function)

The Failed Boost function serves to safeguard a sufficiently high brake pressure level in the system in the event
of a shortage of brake boosting by the BAS brake booster.

If, during brake application by the driver, the front axle brake pressure sensor (with engine 275 with code (Z07)
Highest protection) or the brake vacuum sensor (B64/1) (model 216.3 and model 221 with code (B03) ECO
start/stop function) detects that the BAS brake booster is not providing any driver assistance, the Failed Boost
function actuates the high-pressure and return flow pump (A7/3m1) to ensure the driver receives support. On
engine 275 with code (Z07) Highest protection, hydraulic amplification is provided with an appropriate
amplification factor.

Over Boost function sequence (model 216.3 and model 221 with code (B03) ECO start/stop function)

If the brake booster reaches the limits of its pneumatic boost, the brake pressure is increased through actuation
of the high pressure and return flow pump, thereby ensuring that the usual level of brake boost is then provided.

The function sequence for Failed Boost and the function sequence for Over Boost differ in terms of the
triggering thresholds and hydraulic boost.

Function sequence - Fading Brake Support

The Fading Brake Support function assists the driver when the brakes overheat and thus the brake force
decreases.

With extreme overheating a message is output via the multifunction display. The fading brake support function
serves to provide additional driver assistance when the brake system is hot in order to achieve the best possible
deceleration in this operating case as well.

During extreme overheating, a driver information message can also be provided via the multifunction display of
the instrument cluster. Overheating (fading) is detected based on a brake disk temperature model. If a particular
threshold is exceeded fading is assumed, "Fading Brake Support" becomes active. In addition this function can
also be activated by comparison of the brake pressure level with the actual deceleration or by direct request
through the ABS system.

Air gap reduction function sequence

After dynamic cornering is detected (evaluation of yaw rate by yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal
acceleration), the air gap reduction function applies the brake pads to the front axle brake disks. Consequently
the clearance between the brake pad and brake disk is compensated in order to receive the required braking
power at the corresponding wheel as quickly as possible in the event of any ESP intervention by the brake
system.

Function sequence - standstill coordinator

The standstill coordinator requests the changeover of the vehicle into a safe condition when the support systems
are activated, such as HOLD function, and the driver status is not clear.

The driver status is deemed to be unclear, if the driver door is open and the belt buckle of the drive seat belt is
not inserted into the belt lock. The plugging in of the seat belt tongue into the seat belt buckle is detected by the
driver seat belt buckle switch and seat belt reminder warning switch (S68/1). The restraint systems control unit
(N2/7) reads in the status of the driver seat belt buckle switch and seat belt reminder warning switch directly
and transmits this to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN.

The support systems cannot be operated.

System fault display function sequence

The ESP control unit carries out system tests continuously while driving. If malfunctions or faults are detected,
the ESP control unit transmits corresponding information on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit
passes these on to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

The driver is informed about the system status or about faults occurring by the following displays:

 ABS indicator lamp


 ESP warning lamp
 Messages in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster

In order to avoid malfunction due to too low fill level of brake fluid, the brake fluid control switch (S11)
monitors the fill level in the brake fluid reservoir. The status of the brake fluid control switch is read in directly
by the front SAM control unit and provided on the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this on
to the ESP control unit via the chassis CAN. A basic brake function is always available in the event of failure of
the ESP control unit.

ADAPTIVE BRAKE (ABR), FUNCTION - GF42.47-P-0001SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 up to Model Year 08 /modification year 07

Function of Adaptive Brake (ABR)

ABR assists the driver in dangerous situations which occur suddenly and thus serves active safety.

ABR contains the following functions:

 Electronic Stability Program (ESP)


 Antilock brake system (ABS)
 Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR)
 Brake Assist (BAS)
 Electronic brake force distribution (EBV)
 Electronic Traction System (ETS)

as well as additional functions:

 HOLD
 Precharging
 Dry braking
 Hill start assist
 Failed boost function (on engine 275)
 Fading brake support
 Air gap reduction (Airgap)
 Standstill coordinator
 Trailer stabilization
The ESP control unit (N47-5) evaluates the data from the following components to record the current driving
situation:

 BAS diaphragm travel sensor (A7/7b1)


 BAS travel differential sensor (A7/7b2) (with engine 275)
 BAS release switch (A7/7s1)
 Yaw rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration sensor (B24/15)
 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1)
 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4)
 Steering angle sensor (N49)
 Pressure sensors in the traction system hydraulic unit (A7/3)

ABS

ABS prevents the wheels from locking up when braking and as a result maintains the steerability and directional
stability and road adhesion during vehicle deceleration.

ASR/ETS

ASR/ETS prevents the driven wheels from spinning when the vehicle is being driven. In addition it causes an
improved directional stability and road adhesion with an increased traction potential over the entire vehicle
speed range.

ESP

ESP prevents breakaway when the vehicle oversteers or understeers. It ensures that the vehicle does not deviate
from the course specified by the driver (within physical limits). Brake forces are produced selectively at the
individual wheels to correct any deviations. Furthermore a torque reduction takes place to increase directional
stability and road adhesion.

BAS

BAS detects emergency braking situations by means of a rapid brake pedal operation and increases the brake
pressure if necessary via the BAS solenoid valve (A7/7y1).

BAS PLUS

BAS Plus increases the brake pressure depending on the speed of the brake pedal operation and the distance of
the vehicle driving in front.

EBD (Electronic brake force distribution)


EBV assists the driver in the partial braking area. It prevents overbraking of the rear axle and increases vehicle
stability when braking in the curve, by reducing the pressure at the rear wheel on the inside of the curve or
increasing it at the front wheel on the outside of the curve as required.

HOLD

HOLD assists the driver when starting off on a hill or when waiting in traffic. HOLD is activated by briskly
continuing to depress the brake pedal at a standstill. The adjusted brake pressure is maintained until the driver
depresses the brake pedal again rapidly or starts off.

With and the additional HOLD function is deactivated by coding in the ESP control unit. This
takes place by the coding information of the central gateway control unit (N93).

Precharging

Precharging already builds up brake pressure when the accelerator pedal sensor (B37) is released suddenly in
order to reduce the response time for a brake application which possibly occurs subsequently (e.g. through
BAS).

Dry braking

Dry braking assists the performance of the brake in the wet. The water film is wiped off the brake disk by
applying the brake linings in cycles. This improves the response time of the brake.

Hill start assist

Hill start assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting off on a hill during the time it takes for the
driver to move his foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. For this the brake pressure applied by the
driver is maintained for a period of 0.8 to 1.5 s by the traction system hydraulic unit and switched off by a
suitably large starting off torque.

Failed boost function

The failed boost function serves to ensure a sufficiently high brake pressure level in the system with a shortage
of brake boost through the BAS brake booster (A7/7).

Fading brake support

Fading brake support assists the driver when the brake is overheated and thus the brake force is reduced. With
extreme overheating a message can appear in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).

Air gap reduction (Airgap)

Airgap reduces the air gap between the brake disk in order to possibly accelerate the following ASR or ESP
pressure buildups.
When the assistance systems are activated such as HOLD and an unclear driver status the standstill coordinator
requests the changeover of the vehicle into a secured condition.

Trailer stabilization

The trailer stabilization reduces any vehicle combination instability which may occur.

Function statuses

The function scope can vary depending on the signals received. The following table represents the function
shutdown due to component failure or defect.

ESP/BAS X X X X X X X X
ASR/ETS X X X X X X
ABS X X

distribution)

System faults

The driver is informed about the system condition or about faults by messages in the multifunction display or by
the lighting up of the ABS indicator lamp (A1e17), the ESP warning lamp (A1e41) or the ESP indicator lamp
(A1e42) in the instrument cluster.

The status of the brake fluid indicator switch (S11) is read in by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay
module (N10/1) and transmitted to the central gateway control unit via the interior CAN.

The central gateway control unit transmits the information about the chassis CAN to the ESP control unit. When
the brake fluid level is too low the driver is informed via the brake fluid warning lamp (A1e7).

In the event of a failure of the ESP control unit a basic brake function without ABS is always available.

Stop lamp actuation

The stop lamps light up during a brake application.

These are actuated by the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2). The ESP control unit
transmits discreet signal and a CAN signal for stop lamp actuation to the rear SAM control unit. The CAN-
signal is routed from the central gateway control unit from the chassis CAN on the interior CAN to the rear
SAM control unit.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS, ADAPTIVE BRAKE (ABR), FUNCTION - GF42.47-P-2000SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 up to Model Year 8

The following additional functions are integrated in the Adaptive Brake (ABR) and are coordinated by the ESP
control unit (N47-5):

 HOLD
 Precharging
 Dry braking
 Hill start assist
 Failed boost function (on engine 275)
 Fading brake support
 Air gap reduction (Airgap)
 Standstill coordinator
 Trailer stabilization

Additional function

HOLD

HOLD makes life easier for the driver optionally:

 When starting off uphill


 When maneuvering on mountain roads
 When waiting in traffic

With and the additional HOLD function is deactivated by coding in the ESP control unit. This
takes place by the coding information of the central gateway control unit (N93).

Function description of HOLD

When the vehicle is at a standstill HOLD can be switched on by actuating the brake pedal. The actuation of the
brake pedal is detected via the BAS diaphragm travel sensor (A7/7b1). The vehicle is then held in position
without any further actuation of the brake pedal. The braking effect is canceled when starting off by pressing
the accelerator, via the accelerator pedal sensor (B37).
Switching on HOLD

HOLD can be switched on when

 the vehicle is stationary


 the electronic parking brake is not closed
 the trunk lid is closed with DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) in position "R"
 always when the seat belt is worn or the transmission is shifted out of position "P" when the driver door is
closed
 the engine hood is closed
 the engine be running
 the gear selector switch is not in position "P"
 Histrionic Plus (with code (233) Histrionic Plus) is not active

Actuate the brake pedal, then depress the brake pedal briskly again until the message "HOLD" appears in the
multifunction display (A1p13). The vehicle is held automatically when the brake pedal is released afterwards.

Switching off HOLD

HOLD is switched off automatically when

 the accelerator pedal sensor (B37) is actuated


 the gear selector switch is switched into position "P"
 the brake pedal is actuated again until the display "HOLD" disappears in the multifunction display
 the parking brake is actuated via the electric parking brake switch (S76/15)
 Histrionic Plus (with code (233) Histrionic Plus) is activated

Driver status

A belt tongue inserted into the seat belt buckle or shifting out of position "P" when the driver door is closed is
interpreted as the presence of the driver. When the driver door is open and a belt tongue is not inserted into the
seat belt buckle the driver status is not clear and the driver is thus presumed absent. HOLD is not activated
when the driver status is not clear.

The status of the seat belt buckle is detected by the restraint systems control unit (N2/7) and the driver seat belt
buckle and seat belt warning switch (S68/1). The opening of the driver door on model 216 is detected by the left
door control unit (N69/1) and the left rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) and in model 221 by the left front door
control unit and the left front rotary tumbler switch (A85s1).

Additional function Precharging

The function is permanently active and assists the performance of the brake system by already applying the
brake linings (precharging) when the accelerator pedal sensor is released. As a result the response time of the
brake is reduced and the stopping distance reduced during emergency stops.
Function description of precharging

To reduce the response time during panic braking the air gap of the wheel brake system is already overcome
when the accelerator pedal sensor is overcome and the brake linings are applied. If the driver subsequently
depresses the brake pedal, a spontaneous braking effect is achieved and thus the stopping distance is reduced. In
the process the release gradient of the accelerator pedal sensor is used to detect the rapid braking requirement.
The precharging process is terminated after a short time if the driver does not apply the brake.

Determination of the triggering threshold for precharging

If the boundary conditions are met, the associated release gradient is determined each time the accelerator pedal
sensor is released completely. The triggering threshold depends on the pedal travel. With small pedal travels
before the pedal is released a smaller pedal release gradient is needed in order to activate precharging, than with
large pedal travels before the pedal is released.

Precharging is not active when:

 ESP faults are present


 Control intervention functions take place through ABS, ESP or ASR
 Faults are present in the engine control
 CAN faults are present

Additional function

Dry braking

Function description of dry braking

Dry braking is activated as soon as the windshield wiper leaves its basic position. Dry braking itself is only
carried out at the front axle for a few seconds with a very small brake pressure (< 1 bar).

Hill start assist

In the case of starting off uphill (longitudinal gradient) when changing from the brake to the accelerator pedal
sensor a delayed depressurization is carried out in the brake system in order to prevent the vehicle rolling back
unintentionally.

A longitudinal gradient is detected by the ESP control unit via the turn rate, lateral and longitudinal acceleration
sensor (B24/15)

The function is permanently active and assists the performance of the brake system in the wet. The response
time of the brake is reduced by cyclical dry braking of the brake disks.

Hill start assist is not active when

 the vehicle is driven on the level or downhill


 the transmission is in position "N"
 the parking brake is actuated
 ESP faults are present

Additional function

Failed boost function

In combination with signals from the BAS travel differential sensor (A7/7b2) (only with engine 275) the failed
boot function serves to ensure a sufficiently high brake pressure level in the system in the event of a shortage of
brake boost through the BAS brake booster (A7/7).

Function description of failed boost function

If during a brake application by the driver it is detected by the BAS travel differential sensor and the ESP
control unit that the BAS brake booster does not provide adequate driver assistance, then failed boost ensures
driver assistance by hydraulic brake boost.

Additional function

Fading brake support

The fading brake support function serves to provide additional driver assistance when the brake system is hot in
order to achieve the best possible deceleration in this operating case as well. In the event of a particularly severe
heating up an information message is shown in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster (A1).

Function description of fading brake support

Heating up is determined based on a temperature model of the brake disk. If a particular threshold is exceeded
fading is assumed, fading brake support becomes active. In addition this function can also be activated by the
comparison of the brake pressure level with the actual deceleration or by the direct request through the antilock
brake system (ABS).

Additional function

Air gap reduction (Airgap)

Airgap reduces the air gap between the brake disk and lining in order to speed up any subsequent brake
applications through ASR or ESP.

Additional function

Standstill coordinator

When the support systems are active when the vehicle is stationary the standstill coordinator promotes the
actuation of the electric parking brake (EFB) or shifting into position "P" by the Intelligent servo module for
DIRECT SELECT (A80). This changes over the vehicle into a secured condition.

The following event lead to actuation of the electric parking brake controller unit (A13):

 Engine hood open


 Trunk lid open and reverse gear engaged

The following events lead to actuation of the EFB and the Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT:

 Faults in a security system or the ESP control unit


 ABR overload protection system
 Driver presence unclear
 Critical condition of on-board electrical system
 Engine OFF

Additional function

Trailer stabilization

Trailer stabilization reduces vehicle combination swinging by specific brake interventions in order to stabilize
the vehicle and trailer.

Guard plates (060) are not a substitute for complete wheels. The vehicle must not be lowered onto the
mounted guard plates (060). When the engine is running, do not engage a gear or gear range, otherwise the
guard plates (060) can be damaged.

1 Attach guard plate (060) to the wheel hub using 3 wheel bolts.

Wheel bolts for light alloy rims are too long and must therefore not be used. Use only short wheel bolts.

1. Set bleeding pressure on filling and bleeding unit to 2 bar.


2. Remove caps (10) for bleed screws (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) on brake calipers.
3. Fit bleed wrench (03) and bleed hose (02) on bleed screw (1).
4. Open bleed screw (1).

5.1 Bleed the hydraulic system of the brake system (after the hydraulic system was opened for repair):
Fully depress brake pedal repeatedly, until new bubble-free brake fluid flows out at the bleed screw (1).

To bleeding the brake system correctly it is absolutely essential to pump the brake pedal
throughout the entire bleeding process. Otherwise brake system malfunctions and a failure of the brake
system can occur due to remaining residual air.

In order to avoid the intake of air, do not pump the brake pedal in a jerking manner, but gradually
release. The bleed screw (1) can remain open during the entire pumping process.

Required total quantity of brake fluid: approx. 1.5 l.

5.2 Replace brake fluid (service 4, hydraulic system of brake system was not previously opened for
repair): Keep bleed screw (1) open until new brake fluid flows out.

Pumping the brake pedal not required.

6 Close bleed screw (1).

For 6, or 8-piston brake calipers on the front axle and for vehicles with code (Z07) Maximum protection:
Note different sequence for left and right-hand drive vehicles.

7 Repeat process at bleed screws (2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

The numbering of the bleed screws (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) indicates the opening sequence.

Required total quantity of brake fluid: approx. 0.75 l.

8 Detach bleed hose (02) and bleed wrench (03) and fit caps (10) to bleed screws (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

NIGHT VIEW ASSIST, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-0005LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 with CODE (610) Night vision assist as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 15 ON
 Rain/light sensor (B38/2) detects "twilight" or "night" with rotary light switch (S1) set to position
"AUTO" or "manual driving lights" (low beams ON)
 Speed v < or =260 km/h
 Vehicle in forward movement, gear range "R" not engaged

The request to "switch on low beams" can only be issued with a circuit 15 ON status. The EZS control unit
(N73) sends the status of circuit 15 via the interior CAN (CAN B) to the front SAM control unit with fuse and
relay module (N10/1). The upper control panel control unit (N72/1) reads in the status of the rotary light switch
via the instrument panel LIN (LIN 1) and sends it via the interior CAN to the front SAM control unit.

Night View Assist general

The Night View Assist system records people and obstacles in the driver's field of view, which are on the
roadway, before they appear in the conventional headlamp light cone. For this purpose, the Night View Assist
camera (B84/2) is located near the rain/light sensor. This is designed for infrared light and records the routing of
the road in front of the vehicle before dusk.

The image from the Night View Assist camera corresponds to the view through the windshield when the high
beams are switched on. After the images have been processed by the Night View Assist control unit (N101),
they are shown on the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).
Fig. 5: View Of Night View Assist Image
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The Night View Assist camera operates like a conventional camera, but with an extended infrared light
spectrum. The video picture is therefore also displayed when the infrared illumination is not activated.

The windshield must allow infrared light to pass through in the field of view of the Night View Assist camera
(possible negative influences are: barrier film, black print, adhesive labels, stone chippings, ice or dirt).

The Night View Assist camera must be recalibrated after replacement of the windshield or a component of
the Night View Assist system or after removal of the Night View Assist camera. The routing of the road is also
illuminated with infrared light at night and at a vehicle speed of v < 15 km/h.

Because infrared light is invisible to the human eye, oncoming traffic is not dazzled.

According to ambient brightness, the Night View Assist system differentiates between the following operating
modes:

 Twilight mode
 Night mode (low beams activated by "Auto on/off headlamps")

In twilight mode, only pictures recorded by the Night View Assist camera are shown in the multifunction
display.

Additionally, in night mode, the left infrared lamp (E1e11) is activated in the left front lamp unit (E1) and the
right infrared lamp (E2e11) is activated in the right front lamp unit (E2). The road in front of the vehicle is then
illuminated with infrared light up to s = 150 m.
The infrared light function test is carried out using a diagnosis tester and is possible for approx. t = 10 s. For
this purpose, a white surface (e.g. a piece of white paper) has to be held in front of the infrared lamp.

When observed from the side, a red-green shimmer can be seen on the white surface. A repeat of the function
test is only possible after t = 5 min.

The master control unit of the Night View Assist system is the Night View Assist control unit. This processes
all relevant information, evaluates it and controls the output of the pictures recorded by the Night View Assist
camera on the multifunction display of the instrument cluster.

Vehicles up to 31.5.09:

The Night View Assist control unit is a station on the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H). The ESP control unit
(N47-5) receives system-relevant information via the chassis CAN (CAN E) and sends this information via the
vehicle dynamics CAN to the Night View Assist control unit.

Vehicles as of 1.6.09:

The Night View Assist control unit is a station on the chassis CAN. This allows all system-relevant information
to be received directly by the Night View Assist control unit via the chassis CAN.

On model 221 as of 1.6.09 and on model 216 as of 1.6.10, the Night View Assist system also has the person
detection function "Intelligent Nightview" (night view with person detection) with which persons who are on
unlit roads outside built-up areas can be detected. The detected persons are shown with highlighted edges on the
multifunction display. Person detection is possible up to a distance of s = 90 m in front of the vehicle.

On vehicles as of 1.6.11, the headlamp light cone is additionally deflected toward the detected persons. This
function is referred to as "hazard illumination".

The Night View Assist system includes the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for Night View Assist


 Intelligent Nightview, function sequence (model 221 as of 1.6.09 and on model 216 as of 1.6.10)
 Hazard illumination ON, function sequence (as of 1.6.11)
 Display of system messages, function sequence

Function sequence for Night View Assist

The Night View Assist system is activated by pressing the Night View Assist button (S1s9).

The upper control panel control unit reads in the status of the Night View Assist button via the instrument panel
LIN and sends this via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit (N93) and central CAN (CAN F) to the
instrument cluster and additionally to the Night View Assist control unit.

The Night View Assist control unit receives the status of the Night View Assist button via the following:
 Upper control panel control unit
 Interior CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)

In addition, the instrument cluster checks the following conditions for display of the video images recorded by
the Night View Assist camera on the multifunction display:

 Circuit status: circuit 15 ON


 Low beams ON (daytime running lights ON or low beams ON request (auto on/off driving lights) set or
low beams switched on manually)
 Rain/light sensor signals "twilight" or "night"
 Speed v < or =260 km/h
 Drive position "R" not engaged

The low beams can be switched on manually using the rotary light switch or automatically owing to the auto
on/off headlamps function (the rain/light sensor signals "twilight" or "night") or the daytime running lights.

The EZS control unit sends the status of circuit 15 via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central
CAN to the instrument cluster.

The upper control panel control unit reads in the status of the rotary light switch via the instrument panel LIN
and sends this via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

The rain/light sensor detects the ambient brightness. The overhead control panel control unit (N70) reads in the
data from the rain/light sensor and sends it via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN
to the instrument cluster.

In addition, the overhead control panel control unit sends the "low beams ON" request (generated from the data
from the rain/light sensor (auto on/off driving lights)) via the interior CAN to the front SAM control unit. The
instrument cluster sends the request for the daytime running lights function via the central CAN, central
gateway control unit and interior CAN to the front SAM control unit. The front SAM control unit then sends the
"low beams ON" status (resulting from the request for manual or auto on/off driving lights or daytime running
lights) via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

The instrument cluster calculates the vehicle speed from the wheel speeds that are detected by the following
sensors:

 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1)


 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4)

The ESP control unit (without model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6)
(model 221.095/195) reads in the signals from the RPM sensors and sends them via the chassis CAN, central
gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

If the function requirements are satisfied, the instrument cluster changes from the standard display of the
electronic speedometer (dial-type gauge) to the bar display with Night View Assist video image.

The "gear range R engaged" status is defined by the position of the transmission selector lever. The intelligent
servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80) sends the transmission selector lever position via the drive train
CAN (CAN C), CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline
engine), chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

With gear range R engaged or at a vehicle speed of v > 260 km/h, the video images recorded by the Night
View Assist camera are not displayed.

The instrument cluster then sends the "NightView mode active" status and information regarding the brightness
and contrast of the image shown in the multifunction display to the Night View Assist control unit.

The Night View Assist control unit receives this information via the following:

 Instrument cluster
 Central CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)

The Night View Assist camera sends the video images via the digital video interface (low voltage differential
signal (LVDS) line) to the Night View Assist control unit.

The Night View Assist control unit evaluates the information from the instrument cluster and processes the
brightness distribution in the video images recorded by the Night View Assist camera. Extremely bright image
areas that could dazzle the driver are filtered out.

The Night View Assist control unit then also checks the following conditions for display of the video images
recorded by the Night View Assist camera on the multifunction display:

 Low beams ON (up to 31.5.11)


 Rain/light sensor signals "twilight" or "night"
 Speed v < or =260 km/h
 Gear range "R" not engaged (up to 31.5.11)
The overhead control panel control unit sends the "low beams ON" request (generated from the data from the
rain/light sensor (auto on/off driving lights)) via the interior CAN to the front SAM control unit. The front SAM
control unit then sends the "low beams ON" status (resulting from the request for manual or auto on/off driving
lights or daytime running lights) to the Night View Assist control unit.

The Night View Assist control unit receives this information via the following:

 Front SAM control unit or overhead control panel control unit


 Interior CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)

The Night View Assist control unit receives the data from the rain/ light sensor via the following:

 Overhead control panel control unit Interior CAN


 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)

The Night View Assist control unit receives information regarding vehicle speed via the following:

 Instrument cluster
 Central CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)

The Night View Assist control unit also receives the signals from the RPM sensors redundantly.

The Night View Assist control unit receives the position of the transmission selector lever via the following:

 Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT


 Drive train CAN
 CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit
 Chassis CAN
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
If the function requirements are satisfied, the Night View Assist control unit sends the processed video images
via the digital video interface (LVDS line) to the instrument cluster.

The video images recorded by the Night View Assist camera and processed by the Night View Assist control
unit are now shown on the multifunction display.

The rain/light sensor makes a distinction between the following brightness values on the basis of the ambient
brightness:

 Day: Night View Assist system disabled


 Twilight: Twilight mode (Night View Assist display activated)
 Night: Night View Assist fully activated (infrared emitters additionally active)

In night mode, the infrared emitters in the front lamp unit are additionally switched on. The Night View Assist
control unit sends the request for this after the following input factors have been evaluated:

 Rain/light sensor signals "Night"


 Speed v < or =15 km/h

The front SAM control unit receives this "infrared emitters ON" request via the following:

 Night vision assist control unit


 Vehicle dynamics CAN (up to 31.5.09)
 ESP control unit (up to 31.5.09)
 Chassis CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Interior CAN

The front SAM control unit then actuates the infrared emitters. If the vehicle speed drops below v = 5 km/h, the
infrared emitters are switched off.

Intelligent Nightview, function sequence (model 221 as of 1.6.09 and model 216 as of 1.6.10)

The multifunction camera sends corresponding information via the

The Intelligent Nightview function is intended to prevent accidents involving persons who are on unlit roads
outside built-up areas. As soon as the Night View Assist camera detects persons in its field of view during night
mode, they are shown with highlighted edges on the multifunction display.

For this it has to be defined whether the vehicle is in a town or on a non-illuminated country road. This is
accomplished by evaluating the data from the multifunction camera (A40/11).

The multifunction camera differentiates between light sources originating from one's own vehicle and
surrounding light sources (e.g. street lamps).
When the multifunction camera detects light sources not generated by the vehicle in the area surrounding the
vehicle, the Intelligent Nightview function (person detection) is deactivated.

chassis CAN to the Night View Assist control unit.

The Night View Assist system additionally evaluates the following information to predict the vehicle's own
movement:

 Yaw behavior
 Rotation angle and steering angle rate of change

The yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal acceleration (B24/15) sends information regarding the yaw
behavior of the vehicle via the vehicle dynamics CAN, ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control
unit and chassis CAN to the multifunction camera and, on vehicles up to 31.5.11, also to the Night View Assist
control unit.

The steering angle and the steering angle speed are detected by the steering angle sensor (N49).

The steering column tube module (N80) reads in the data from the steering angle sensor and sends it via the
chassis CAN to the multifunction camera and, on vehicles up to 31.5.11, also to the Night View Assist control
unit.

On vehicles as of 1.6.11, this information is evaluated by the multifunction camera (A40/11) only.

Because of the way the person detection system works, misinterpretations can occur, e.g. objects are
perceived as individuals and shown with highlighted photo edges.

The identification rate drops off with increasingly unfavorable conditions (e.g. strong backlighting, rain, snow,
bright background or very darkly clothed people) and individuals are not shown highlighted.

Additional function requirements for hazard illumination ON (as of 1.6.11)

 Adaptive high beams function activated (combination switch (S4) in position "high beams")

Hazard illumination ON, function sequence (as of 1.6.11)

With the hazard illumination function, the headlamp light cone of the front lamp unit next to the road edge is
deflected toward the detected person.

The driver can thus avoid a potential collision with the detected person.

Vehicles ahead and oncoming road users are not dazzled. The hazard illumination function is always active and
can be deactivated by briefly holding down the Night View Assist button. The status icon in the multifunction
display disappears to indicate deactivation to the driver.

The multifunction camera sends status information for the adaptive high beams function to the Night View
Assist control unit. The Night View Assist control unit calculates the expected position of the detected person in
the driver's field of vision on the basis of various variables (e.g. vehicle speed) and sends corresponding data via
the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and front end CAN (CAN G) to the xenon headlamp control unit
(E1n1) (on right-hand drive vehicles) or to the xenon headlamp control unit (E2n1) (on left-hand drive
vehicles). The corresponding xenon headlamp control unit then actuates the left light distribution actuator motor
(E1m3) (on right-hand drive vehicles) or the right light distribution actuator motor (E2m3) (on left-hand drive
vehicles) accordingly.

The cover that partially obstructs the low beam light cone is moved so that the low beam light cone is deflected
toward the detected person.

Function

With the night view assist system the course of the road is displayed visually in darkness in order to recognize
obstacles before they become visible in the conventional headlamp beam. To this end, the road in front of the
vehicle is illuminated by infrared lamps.

Infrared light is invisible to the human eye. Oncoming traffic is thus not dazzled.
The night view assist camera mounted in the area of the overhead control panel control unit is designed for
infrared light and records the direction of the road.

During the picture display the electronic speedometer is displayed as a bar graph. The Night View Assist
camera recordings are shown in the instrument cluster.

The display corresponds to the view through the windshield when the high beam is switched on. This means
that the driver still enjoys a "high beam" visible area.

The infrared lamps are activated depending on the degree of darkness and the speed of the vehicle.

The night view assist camera operates like a conventional camera, but with an increased infrared light
spectrum. For this reason a picture is not displayed when the infrared lamps are not activated.

Function requirements

 Circuit 15 ON

After enable by the night view assist control unit the multifunction display in the instrument cluster changes
speedometer display and the display appears.

 Rain/light sensor detects twilight or night


 Active low beam
 Drive position "R" not engaged
 Vehicle speed above 15 km/h

Function sequence

The night view assist system is activated by pressing the night view assist button.

The request is read in by the upper control panel control unit via the upper control panel LIN and transmitted by
the ESP control unit to the night view assist control unit via the central gateway control unit.

Extremely bright picture areas, which could dazzle the driver, are suppressed and thus the driver is able to
perceive the other content in the picture (e.g. obstacles, pedestrians or cyclists). The brightness distribution is
processed in the night view assist control unit.

The rain/light sensor detects three brightness levels:

 Day: Night view assist deactivated (no display)


 Twilight: Night view assist partially activated (display only)
 Night: Night view assist system fully activated (display and infrared lamps active)

ATTENTION ASSIST, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-0009LE

MODEL 216.3 as of model year 2011 /YoM 10 model refinement package

MODEL 221.0 /1 as of model year 2010 /YoM 09 model refinement package

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 15 ON
 Attention assist activated via menu in instrument cluster (A1)
 Vehicle speed v = 80 to 180 km/h

The EZS control unit (N73) makes the status of circuit 15 available on the chassis CAN (CAN E).

Attention assist general

The ATTENTION ASSIST function assists the driver on long monotonous journeys, e.g. on freeways and
expressways, in a vehicle speed range of v = 80 to 180 km/h.
If attention assist establishes driver fatigue or increasing inattentiveness, it proposes a break.

The attention assist assesses driver fatigue or increasing inattentiveness by the analysis of steering ability by
means of steering wheel angle signals as well as driving conditions (time of day/night, driving time).

In the first t = 20 min. of monotonous driving individual parameters and a warning threshold are determined by
the driver. When the warning threshold is reached a visual as well as an acoustic warning message is issued by
the instrument cluster. Other factors are included in the assessment in order to increase reliability.

Attention assist functions in a restricted manner and a warning does not take place or takes place after a delay in
the case of:

 Sporty driving style


 Active driving situations (high cornering speeds, hard acceleration, lane change)
 Very poor road surface condition (surface undulations, pot holes)
 Continuous strong crosswind
 Use of audio equipment, telephone or other systems

The master control unit for the ATTENTION ASSIST function is the ESP control unit (N47-5) (except model
221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) (model 221.095/195).

The attention assist function is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Activate attention assist function sequence


 Recording steering movement function sequence
 Evaluating steering movement function sequence
 Output of warning message function sequence

Activate attention assist function sequence

Attention assist is activated as follows in the instrument cluster:

 Select the "Assistance" menu with the system selection button (S110s3)
 Select the "Attention assist" menu item with the scroll forward and back button (S110s1)
 Confirm selection with the OK button (S110s6)

The status of the left multifunction steering wheel button group (S110) and right multifunction steering wheel
button group (S111) is read in by the steering column tube module (N80) via the steering LIN (LIN E1) and
made available to the ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control unit via the chassis CAN.

When the ATTENTION ASSIST function is active, the coffee cup symbol (1) appears in the instrument
cluster.

Attention assist can be deactivated by pressing the OK button again.


Fig. 11: Identifying Coffee Cup Symbol In Instrument Cluster

Recording steering movement function sequence

The steering movements are detected by the ATTENTION ASSIST sensor (B24/8) and read in directly by the
ESP control unit or by the regenerative braking system control unit.

Evaluating steering movement function sequence

Depending on the various variables, the ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control unit evaluates
the current data from the ATTENTION ASSIST sensor. The algorithm detects steering patterns in the steering
angle signal which occur more frequently with increasing fatigue and inattentiveness.

The algorithm is active and detects steering patterns in the case of:

 a speed between v = 80 and 180 km/h


 - monotonous trip (without high longitudinal or lateral acceleration)
 no considerable external excitations (such as surface undulations or crosswind)
 no operating interventions (e.g. audio equipment, various switches)

The individual driver parameters for detecting steering patterns are adapted continuously when the algorithm is
active. An individual warning threshold is also determined after driving for t = 20 min when the algorithm is
active. The sensitivity of the algorithm is adjusted depending on the driving time and time of day:

 Determining time of day function sequence


 Checking plausibility of time of day function sequence
 Recording operating interventions function sequence

Determining time of day function sequence

The instrument cluster makes information on the current time of day available on the central CAN (CAN F).
The central gateway control unit (N93) reads in this information and passes it on to the ESP control unit or
regenerative braking system control unit via the chassis CAN.
Checking plausibility of time of day function sequence

The time of day is checked for plausibility via the rain/light sensor (B38/2). In the event of a dusk transition
implausible for the time of day, an entry is made in the diagnosis memory of the ESP control unit or
regenerative braking system control unit.

The overhead control panel control unit (N70) makes information from the rain/light sensor available on the
interior CAN (CAN B). The central gateway control unit passes this on to the ESP control unit or regenerative
braking system control unit via the chassis CAN.

Recording operating interventions function sequence

The recognition of steering patterns is suppressed in the event of a recognized control intervention at one of the
following components:

 COMAND controller unit (A40/3)


 Combination switch (S4)
 Cruise control pushbutton switch (S40/4)
 Steering column adjustment switch (S59) (without code (443) Steering wheel heater) or steering column
adjustment/steering wheel heater switch (S59/1) (with code (443) Steering wheel heater)
 Left multifunction steering wheel button group and right multifunction steering wheel button group

The signals from the combination switch, cruise control push button, steering column adjustment switch or
steering column adjustment/steering wheel heater switch and multifunction steering wheel button groups are
transmitted by the steering column tube module on the chassis CAN. The signals from the COMAND controller
unit are transmitted via the central CAN to the central gateway control unit and from there on the chassis CAN.
The ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control unit receives all the data via the chassis CAN.

Additional function requirements, output of warning message

 A relevant steering pattern recognized

Output of warning message function sequence

The ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control unit transmits the warning message request to the
central gateway control unit via the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit passes on the request to the
instrument cluster via the central CAN.

The instrument cluster then displays a prompt telling the driver to take a break, and a double four-tone warning
signal sounds.

An active warning can be confirmed and thus ended with the OK button in the left multifunction steering
wheel button group. The next warning is only possible again after t < 15 min.

The status of the multifunction steering wheel button group is read in by the steering column tube module via
the steering LIN and made available to the ESP control unit or regenerative braking system control unit via the
chassis CAN.

package

MODEL 221.0 /1 with CODE (513) Speed Limit Assist as of Model Year 2010 /modification year 09
model refinement package

Function requirements general

 Circuit 61 ON
 Vehicle moving forward

The CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine)
transmits the status of terminal 61 ON via the chassis CAN (CAN E) to the MFK [multifunction camera]
(A40/11).

Speed Limit Assist, general

The following traffic signs are recorded and evaluated on the stretch of road being driven on by the vehicle. :

 Speed limits
 Speed limits, restricted through supplementary signs (as of 1.6.10)
 Derestriction signs (as of 1.6.10)
As of 1.6.10, the attributes verified in the digital map of the navigation system are also evaluated.

The appropriate traffic signs are shown in the multifunction display (A1p13) and in the COMAND display
(A40/8) (without code (867) SPLITVIEW) or in the SPLITVIEW display (A40/10) (with code (867)
SPLITVIEW).

As a result information on the current permissible speed is available to the driver.

The function Speed Limit Assist is permanently active in the background.

In other words, the corresponding traffic signs are permanently recorded and evaluated by the MFK
[multifunction camera]. The manner in which the traffic signs are shown depends on the settings in the "Speed
Limit Asst." menu in the instrument cluster (A1).

The function Speed Limit Assist is currently available for the following countries:

 Andorra (AD)
 Belgium (BE)
 Denmark (DK)
 Germany (DE)
 Great Britain (GB)
 Gibraltar (GI)
 France (FR)
 Italy (IT)
 Ireland (IE)
 Luxembourg (LU)
 Liechtenstein (LI)
 Monaco (MC)
 Netherlands (NL)
 Austria (AT)
 San Marino (SM)
 Switzerland (CH)
 Spain (ES)

In which of the countries listed the vehicle is located is defined by way of Global Positioning System (GPS)
signals.

These are read in and evaluated by the COMAND control unit (A40/3). The navigation data is sent from the
COMAND controller unit via the central CAN (CAN F) to the central gateway control unit (N93) which
forwards the data via the chassis CAN to the multifunction camera.

The Speed Limit Assist function is not available in the event of failure of the COMAND controller unit.
In the event of a temporary failure, the Speed Limit Assist function is only maintained for a travel distance of s
= 30 km.

The Speed Limit Assist function is permanently active, but must be activated in the "Assistance" menu of the
instrument cluster in order for information to be displayed. The instrument cluster sends the status via the
central CAN to the central gateway control unit which forwards the appropriate status via the chassis CAN to
the multifunction camera.

Function sequence of Speed Limit Assist

The Speed Limit Assist function consists of the following partial functions:

 Picture recognition and evaluation function sequence


 Function sequence for control and display concept

Picture recognition and evaluation function sequence

During a journey, the multifunction camera records - at a horizontal detection angle of Angle° = 34° - pictures
of the traffic signs mounted above or at the side of the road.

The recorded pictures are transmitted to the integrated picture recognition module which compares these with
the stored data records and assigns the traffic signs to the respective valid road traffic regulations.

The picture recognition module assigns credibility to all results.

The national regulations for the design and attachment of traffic signs are taken into account for this.

In addition the multifunction camera evaluates information on the area around the vehicle and on the vehicle's
own movement. These include:

 Distance and angle to other road users and objects recorded by the multifunction camera itself
 Navigation data from COMAND controller unit
 Vehicle's intrinsic motion and yaw behavior, provided via chassis CAN by ESP control unit (N47-5)
(without model 221.095/195) or by regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) (model
221.095/195)

The navigation data serve the plausibility check of objects recorded by the multifunction camera as well as the
fading out of speed limits displayed when driving into built-up areas.

If the camera does not detect any speed limits, the values verified in the digital card of the navigation system are
displayed. It is not necessary to actuate the navigation function (navigation system "sleep-mode").

Because speed limits are subject to alteration, the digital map

Information on the vehicle' own movement is derived from the wheel speeds as an indicator of vehicle speed.
The yaw rate sensor for lateral and longitudinal acceleration (B24/15) provides information on the yaw behavior
of the vehicle and transmits this via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H) to the ESP control unit or to the
regenerative braking system control unit which passes on this information to the multifunction camera via the
chassis CAN.

data has to be regularly updated.

Generally valid speed limits in built-up areas, on expressways and freeways are not displayed.

After evaluation of the data, the multifunction camera sends a request to control the display of the currently
detected speed limit, to the instrument cluster and the COMAND controller unit via the chassis CAN, central
gateway control unit and central CAN.

If a data source (picture recognition, vehicle data or navigation data) fails, the most credible result is deduced
from the remaining data together with the stored past history data.

The multifunction camera combines this information to form a result even when the individual items of
information are contradictory.

Traffic signs recognized by multifunction camera:

Fig. 15: Identifying Traffic Signs Of Multifunction Camera


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The MFK records all picture objects and evaluates circular as well as square contours.

Speed limits and derestriction symbols including additional restrictions in countries with signage according to
the Vienna convention are accordingly recorded.
If the navigation system is active, supplementary signs will be shown immediately if they are relevant for the
currently active navigation.

Supplementary signs not relevant for passenger cars (e.g. speed limits for trucks) are not shown. The number of
these traffic signs amounts to approx. 10% of all traffic signs.

Situations are listed as an example in the following, in which pictures recorded by the multifunction camera are
not usable and are not used for the display in the multifunction display.

Speed limits marked by town/village entry and town/village exit signs or by freeway start and finish signs are
not recorded. These traffic signs however, are filed through the road definition feature (e.g. freeway) in the
digital navigation map.

Fig. 16: Identifying Town/Village Entry And Exit Signs


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Electronically actuated changing traffic signs can be "missed" or interpreted incorrectly. With alternating traffic
signs that pulse or flash, there may be a difference in the fixed cycle time for picture recording with regard to
the frequency of the alternating traffic sign, which in turn leads to only fragments of such alternating traffic
signs being detected.

If the picture cannot be fully recognized as a traffic sign it is not shown on the display.

Fig. 17: Identifying Traffic Sign In Red Color


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Changing traffic signs on which the outer circle is missing are not shown either.

Fig. 18: Identifying Traffic Sign (Outer Circle Missing)


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The horizontal angle of vision of the multifunction camera is limited.

Traffic signs erected immediately after junctions, turn-offs which the vehicle takes, can be "missed" by the
multifunction camera.

The horizontal recording angle of the multifunction camera is a = 34°.

Fig. 19: Identifying Horizontal Recording Angle Of Multifunction Camera


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
The vertical angle of vision of the multifunction camera is limited.

Traffic signs on sign bridges are only interpreted reliably up to a vehicle speed of v = 160 km/h.

In order to keep recognition certainty homogeneous over all vehicle speed ranges, the evaluation window of the
multifunction camera is downsized as the vehicle speed increases. The consequence of limiting the evaluation
window of the multifunction camera is that traffic signs installed low down, as used in construction sites, are
"missed" if they are passed at high speed.

Fig. 20: Identifying Dimensions Of Evaluation Window At Vehicle Speed


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The resolution of the multifunction camera is limited.

Traffic signs on wide or multilane roads can be "missed" as they do not reach the size required for clear
identification in the evaluation window of the multifunction camera.

Fig. 21: Display Resolution Of Multifunction Camera


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The sensitivity and dynamics of the multifunction camera is limited. This results in traffic signs not being
recognized under the following conditions:

 Traffic signs with low contrast


 Extreme oncoming lights or lights from the rear
 Low levels of lighting, darkness

The focus and alignment of the multifunction camera are fixed. As a result recorded objects are represented
with a movement blur depending on the exposure time.

This movement blur and sensitivity of the multifunction camera limit its usefulness at night.

The result of the fixed focus and viewing direction is that the traffic signs to be recorded must be completely
visible in a small observation time window.

Recognition is not possible if the traffic sign is concealed by other objects within this observation window.

Unfavorably designed back-end sections of commercial vehicles may be interpreted as destriction signs by
mistake (left picture).

Signage on the back-end section of commercial vehicles may be interpreted as traffic signs by mistake (right
picture).

Information on the classification of roads and regional development are deduced from the navigation data
provided by COMAND controller unit.

By this means the system recognizes that the vehicle is leaving a road for which a speed limit identified earlier
was displayed. Since the picture recognition system is unable to cancel the display of a speed limit identified
outside a town/village when passing a town/ village entry sign, use is made of the navigation data.

With a change from a non-built-up area to a built-up area as defined by the markings for buildings on the
navigation map, the display of the last identified speed limit is canceled.

As the town/village limits do not always match the built-up area markings on the navigation map, the result of
this is that possibly the display of the last detected speed limit is either masked out too soon or continues to
remain displayed in the built-up area.

Situations resulting in the display not being removed or being removed unnecessarily are shown in the
following pictures.
Fig. 24: Display Information On Classification Of Roads And Regional Development

Function sequence for control and display concept

The graphical display of the Speed Limit Assist function is output via the multifunction display and also via the
COMAND display (without code (867) SPLITVIEW) or SPLITVIEW display (with code (867) SPLITVIEW).
Operation is via the menu of the instrument cluster using the left multifunction steering wheel button group
(S110).

The control and display concept is split up into the following subfunctions:

 Operating concept
 Display concept

Operating concept

Operation is via the "Speed Limit Asst." menu level of the instrument cluster using the following controls:

 Left multifunction steering wheel button group


 Scroll forward/back button (S110s1)
 System selection button (S110s3)
 OK button (S110s6)

The control signals of the left multifunction steering wheel button group are sent by the steering wheel
electronics (N135) via the steering LIN (LIN E1) to the steering column tube module (N80). The steering
column tube module sends the control signals via the chassis CAN to the central gateway control unit which
forwards the control signals to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

The Speed Limit Assist function is selected as follows in the instrument cluster:

 Selection of "Assistance" main menu (using scroll forward and back button and system selection button)
 Confirmation of selection (using OK button)
 Selection option: permanent display or information model

Display concept

The display concept distinguishes between the following variants:

 Information mode
 Permanent display
 Error messages

Information mode

In the information mode, a detected traffic sign can be shown on any menu level on the instrument cluster for a
duration of t = 5 s and can be acknowledged within this time using the OK button.

The information mode can be switched on and off in the "Speed Limit Asst." submenu in the "Assistance"
menu.

The status is displayed by the fading in of the appropriate pictogram.

Permanent display

When the "Speed Limit" submenu in the "Assist" menu in the instrument cluster is selected, the detected traffic
sign is shown until the submenu is exited again.

If the information mode is switched off, recognized traffic signs are not shown permanently either.

The traffic signs are shown in the map view of the COMAND display regardless of the display selected in
the instrument cluster. This can be activated or deactivated in the "Speed Limit Information" navigation menu
of the COMAND controller unit.

The following events induce a display change or cancellation:

 Recognition of a new speed limit


 Recognition of a derestriction sign
 No identification of a new road sign for a certain distance, depending on the type of road.

CONTROL/WARNING MESSAGES, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-2001LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 15R ON

The EZS control unit (N73) sends the status of circuit 15 to the instrument cluster (A1) via the chassis CAN
(CAN E), central gateway control unit (N93) and central CAN (CAN F).

control/warning messages, general

The instrument cluster control/warning messages notify the driver about the current state of the systems
installed in the vehicle. The instrument cluster can issue indicator and warning messages in the following ways:

 Optical issue of indicator and warning messages


 Acoustic output of indicator and warning messages
Visual control/warning messages:

The visual indicator and warning messages are displayed using the following instrument cluster components:

 Multifunction display (A1p13) (e.g. variable indicator lamps and warning lamps, indicator/warning
messages)
 Indicator/warning lamps

Audible control/warning messages:

The acoustic indicator and warning messages are issued using the following instrument cluster components:

 Warning buzzer (A1h1)


 Acoustic turn signal indicator (A1h2)

Variable indicator lamps and warning lamps in multifunction display: The variable indicator and warning lamps
are displayed in the multifunction display. They can change their position in the multifunction display
depending on the request. The following indicator and warning lamp are variable indicator and warning lamps:

 Electric parking brake warning lamp (yellow)


 Electric parking brake warning lamp (red)
 Automatic lane recognition indicator lamp (with code (238) Active Lane Keeping Assist or with code
(476) Automatic lane recognition)
 Attention Assist indicator lamp
 Speed Limit Assist indicator lamp (with code (513) Speed Limit Assist)
 ECO indicator lamp (with code (B03) ECO start/stop function)
 READY indicator lamp (on model 221.095/195)
 Speed warning lamp (with code (623) Gulf States version)
 Left turn signal indicator lamp (A1e1)
 Right turn signal indicator lamp (A1e2)
 Brake fluid warning lamp (A1e7)
 Seat belt warning lamp (A1e9)
 ESP warning lamp (A1e41)
 ESP indicator lamp (A1e42)
 DTR warning lamp (A1e59) (with code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS or on model 216 with code (219)
Distronic (DTR) up to 31.8.10)
 Tire pressure monitor warning lamp (A1e66) (with code (475) Tire pressure monitor (Premium))

The messages inserted in the multifunction display are subdivided into four categories corresponding to their
urgency:

 Category 1 (messages with highest priority) Messages in category 1 refer to safety-endangering


conditions and situations and are displayed within a maximum of t = 2 s after their occurrence. These
messages cannot be acknowledged. When they occur, a brief warning is emitted by the buzzer.
 Category 2 (messages with medium priority) Messages in category 2 require the intervention of the driver
and appear with a time delay of a maximum of t = 2 s. These messages also include operating feedbacks.
Category 2 messages can be acknowledged with the left multifunction steering wheel button group
(S110). When they occur, a brief warning is emitted by the buzzer.
 Category 3 and 4 (messages with low priority)

These messages are menu displays and only serve as driver information (e.g. low washer fluid level). There is
no acoustic warning.

Messages with low priority are overlaid by messages with high priority. If several messages with the same
priority occur, the message currently displayed is cross-faded by the new message after expiry of the minimum
display time.

The control/warning messages consist of the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for hybrid readiness indicator (on model 221.095/195)

 Function sequence for ECO start/stop function (with code (B03) ECO start/stop function)

Function sequence for hybrid readiness indicator (on model 221.095/195)

When the ignition is switched on, the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) and the battery management system
control unit (N82/2) check whether the hybrid drive is ready for operation. If the internal combustion engine is
switched off due to a hybrid request, the readiness indicator "Ready" appears in the instrument cluster.

As soon as the internal combustion engine is started again due to a hybrid request, this display disappears. The
battery management system control unit transmits the appropriate information to the instrument cluster via the
drive train sensor CAN (CAN I), ME-SFI control unit, chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central
CAN.

Additional function requirements for regenerative braking system control/warning messages (on model
221.095/195)

 Circuit 15 ON

Function sequence for regenerative braking system control/ warning messages (on model 221.095/195)

With regenerative braking a part of or the total braking torque is produced by the integrated starter alternator
(A79). The electrical energy produced here is used to charge the high-voltage battery (A100g1) in the high-
voltage battery module (A100). During regenerative braking, the instrument cluster actuates the regenerative
braking system indicator lamp (A1e20). The ME-SFI control unit transmits the corresponding request to the
instrument cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

If the regenerative braking system control unit (N30/6) detects an ESP malfunction, the ABS indicator lamp
(A1e17) lights up and appropriate messages additionally appear in the multifunction display. The instrument
cluster actuates the ESP warning lamp in the event of an ESP control intervention function.

The regenerative braking system control unit transmits malfunction messages and fault messages via the chassis
CAN. The central gateway control unit passes on all the relevant information to the instrument cluster via the
central CAN.

Function sequence for passive ESP switching

Up to 31.8.09:

The ESP can be switched to passive mode manually by pressing the ESP OFF switch (S6/2s11) while the
engine is running. The upper control panel control unit (N72/1) reads in the status of the ESP OFF switch via
the instrument panel LIN (LIN 1) and sends it via the interior CAN (CAN B) to the central gateway control unit
and from there via the chassis CAN to the ESP control unit (N47-5) and via the central CAN to the instrument
cluster in order to actuate the ESP indicator lamp.

As of 1.9.09

The ESP can be switched to passive mode manually in the "Assistance" menu. If the ESP is switched to passive
mode, the instrument cluster actuates the ESP indicator lamp. The instrument cluster sends the ESP status
"activated" or "deactivated" via the central CAN to the central gateway control unit and via the chassis CAN to
the ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or to the regenerative braking system control unit (on model
221.095/195).
Additional function requirements for cruise control control/ warning messages (on model 216 without
code (219) Distronic (DTR) or without code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS)

 Vehicle speed v > 30 km/h

The vehicle speed is calculated from the wheel speeds that the ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195)
or the regenerative braking system control unit (on model 221.095/195) makes available via the chassis CAN,
central gateway control unit and central CAN.

Function sequence for cruise control control/warning messages

(on model 216 without code (219) Distronic (DTR) or without code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS)

The cruise control then regulates the vehicle speed to an adjustable value. The cruise control is activated using
the CC [TPM] push button (S40/4).

The cruise-control control/warning messages consist of the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for cruise control display


 Function sequence for variable speed limiter display (without code (494) USA version)
 Permanent limiter display function sequence (without code (494) USA version)

Function sequence for cruise control display

If the cruise control is on, the stored speed is shown for t =5 s in the multifunction display and by a triangle in
the electronic speedometer (A1p8).

The speedo scale in the electronic speedometer is shown in the form of an open segment ring. The individual
segments symbolize various speed ranges and are actuated with different brightness and color.

The segment ring lights up between the set speed and the maximum speed.

Function sequence for variable speed limiter display (without code (494) USA version)

The variable speed limiter governs the vehicle speed to a configurable value that lies between v = 30 km/h
and the maximum speed. If the variable speed limiter is switched on, the segment ring in the electronic
speedometer lights up between the minimum speed and the set speed limit.

Permanent limiter display function sequence (without code (494) USA version)

The vehicle's maximum speed can be permanently governed on the instrument cluster to a value between 160
km/h (e.g. for winter tire operation) and the maximum speed.

A warning message appears in the multifunction display if the set speed is exceeded. In addition, the instrument
cluster actuates the warning buzzer. The permanent limiter can only be switched on and off in the corresponding
menu in the instrument cluster.
Additional function requirements for Distronic control/warning messages (with code (233) DISTRONIC
PLUS or on model 216 up to 31.8.10 with code (219) Distronic (DTR))

 Vehicle speed v > 30 km/h (calculated by instrument cluster)

Function sequence for Distronic control/warning messages (with code (233) DISTRONIC PLUS or on
model 216 up to 31.8.10 with code (219) Distronic (DTR))

Distronic regulates the vehicle speed so that a minimum distance to the vehicle ahead is maintained. Distronic is
activated by pressing the cruise control push button. If the Distronic is switched on, the stored speed is marked
by a triangle in the electronic speedometer.

If the Distronic recognizes a vehicle ahead, the segment ring in the electronic speedometer lights up brightly
between the speed of the vehicle in front and the stored speed.

In addition, a tracking graphic appears in the multifunction display. In this pursuit graphic one's own vehicle is
shown on the right on the edge of the picture as well as the vehicle ahead shown on the left on the edge of the
picture.

In addition the following information is displayed:

 Vehicle speed set


 Current distance to vehicle ahead
 Following distance

Additionally, if distance warning is switched on, the distance warning status indication (A1e23) lights up. If the
vehicle undershoots the safe distance to the vehicle in front, the DTR controller unit (A89) sends an appropriate
signal via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H) to the radar sensors control unit (SGR) (N62/1) (with code (233)
DISTRONIC PLUS, without code (237) Active Blind Spot Assist, without code (238) Active Lane Keeping
Assist, model 221 with code (239) Plus Light adaptive cruise control) or to the video and radar sensor system
control unit (N62/2) (with code (237) Active Blind Spot Assist, with code (238) Active Lane Keeping Assist).
The radar sensors control unit or the video and radar sensor system control unit forwards this signal via the
chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster
receives the signal and actuates the DTR warning lamp.

Additional function requirements for Safety Brake Control indicator/warning messages

 Circuit 15 ON (provided by EZS control unit)

Additional function requirements for supplemental restraint system control/warning messages

Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)

Function sequence for Safety Brake Control indicator/warning messages

If the ESP is switched to passive mode or with an ESP control intervention function, the instrument cluster
actuates the ESP warning lamp. If the ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking

The status of the driver door is provided by the left door control unit or left front door control unit on the
interior CAN and the current status of circuit 15 is provided by the EZS control unit on the chassis CAN.

The central gateway control unit passes on all the relevant information to the instrument cluster via the central
CAN. The instrument cluster combines this with the status of the headlamp switch-off delay (SWA) function
and actuates the warning buzzer accordingly.

The message "Switch off lights" appears in the multifunction display.

Standing lights may be on due to low beams having been switched on manually, auto on/off headlamps having
been switched on, daytime running lights being on or because they have been switched on manually by means
of the rotary light switch (S1). If the standing lights have been activated by manually switching on the low
beams, the auto on/off headlamps or the daytime running lights and the driver door is then opened when a
transmitter key is inserted in the EIS [EZS] control unit, the standing lights are switched off.

The manner of how the seat belt reminder warning is issued differs in whether the seat belt reminder warning is
prescribed by law or not and is incorporated into the assessment through the New Car Assessment Program
(NCAP).

NCAP is an assessment program for safety in new vehicles in:

 Countries with seat belt reminder warning prescribed by law (extended NCAP): Japan, USA, Canada,
Arab States of the Gulf and Korea
 Countries without seat belt reminder warning specified by law
 Left rear seat buckle switch (S68/11)
 Right rear seat buckle switch (S68/12)
 Center rear seat belt buckle switch (S68/14)

The central gateway control unit passes on this information to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

(European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP)): Europe (Economic Commission for Europe (ECE)),
China and Australia

In countries in which the seat belt reminder warning is prescribed by law (extended NCAP), the seat belt
warning lamp is activated for a time interval of t = 6 ±2 s. It is irrelevant here whether the driver seat belt is
fitted or not.

If the driver is not wearing the seat belt, the instrument cluster also issues an acoustic warning over the internal
warning buzzer. For this the instrument cluster evaluates the status of the driver seat belt buckle switch and seat
belt reminder warning. The central gateway control unit passes on this information to the instrument cluster via
the central CAN.

If the driver seat belt is fastened during this time interval, the warning tone stops sounding.

An assessment of whether the front passenger seat belt is fitted or not given during this time interval.

Only after the time interval of t = 6 s has expired, does the assessment of both seat belts occur.

In countries in which the seat belt reminder warning is not prescribed by law, the seat belt warning lamp is only
actuated during the indicator lamp test.

Immediately after engine running is detected (circuit 61), both the status of the driver seat belt buckle and seat
belt reminder warning switch as well as the status of the front passenger seat belt buckle and seat belt reminder
warning switch are evaluated. If a seat belt is defined to not be fitted, the instrument cluster actuates the seat
belt warning lamp.

If the vehicle starts to move, when it reaches a speed of v > or = 25 km/h, further successive acoustic warnings
are issued. Three or four acoustic warnings are issued in accordance with the seat belt reminder warning. While
they are being issued the seat belt warning lamp is actuated at a frequency of f = 1 Hz.
As the vehicle starts to drive off, acoustic warning phase 1 also starts in the background. When a speed of
v > or =25 km/h is reached a quiet acoustic warning is sounded at an interval of t = 2 s. The acoustic
warning phase 1 lasts for a maximum t = 20 s. This is then followed by a transition to acoustic warning
phase 2.

 Acoustic warning phase 2:

After expiry of acoustic warning phase 1 and as from a speed of v > or =25 km/h a quiet acoustic warning
is sounded for maximum t = 20 s at an interval of t = 1 s. This is then followed by a transition to acoustic
warning phase 3.

 Acoustic warning phase 3:

After expiry of acoustic warning phase 2 and as from a speed of v > or =25 km/h a quiet acoustic warning
is sounded for maximum t = 20 s at an interval of t = 0.4 s. This is then followed by a transition to
acoustic warning phase 4.

 Acoustic warning phase 4 (EURO NCAP only:

After expiry of acoustic warning phase 3 and as from a speed of v > or =25 km/h a quiet acoustic warning
is sounded for maximum t = 93 s at an interval of t = 0.5 s.

If during an ignition sequence the driver or front passenger belt buckle is opened a second time, the
duration of warning tone phase 1 to 3 is shortened to t = 10 s.

Cancellation of seat belt reminder warning:

 The last acoustic warning phase is fully completed.


 The belt was fitted during the active seat belt reminder warning.
 The driver door or front passenger door is opened in a stationary vehicle.

Seat belt reminder warning cancellation as of 1.9.09: If the seat belt reminder warning is active and the vehicle
is brought to a standstill (v = 0 km/h) and the vehicle door on the actuating side is opened, the seat belt reminder
warning is terminated.

Seat belt reminder warning reactivation:

 Seat belt release has been detected again.


 If the vehicle is at a standstill and the driver or front passenger door is opened and then closed again
 A new ignition sequence starting with circuit 61 ON and circuit 15 ON (with code (498) Japan version) is
detected

The seat belt reminder warning for the rear passengers is realized by monitoring the total number of belt tabs
inserted into the seat belt buckles in the rear.
being opened, a warning message appears in the multifunction display. Opening one of the inserted seat belt
buckles while the vehicle is in motion causes a warning message to be displayed in the multifunction display.
An acoustic seat belt reminder warning is additionally issued by the warning buzzer.

If the seat belt reminder warning is issued when the vehicle is moving, it is displayed again another t = 30 s
when the vehicle is determined to be at rest.

This is contingent on a change in the door status for the left rear door or the right rear door while the vehicle is
at a standstill. The seat belt reminder warning, however, does not have an effect on the deployment of the
restraint equipment, it only serves as information for the driver.

Additional function requirements for coolant level and coolant temperature warning

 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)

Function sequence for coolant level and coolant temperature warning

The coolant level in the expansion reservoir is monitored by the coolant level indicator switch (S41).

The status of the coolant level indicator switch is read in by the front SAM control unit. When the coolant level
is too low the front SAM control unit transmits a corresponding signal to the instrument cluster via the interior
CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The instrument cluster receives this signal and issues a corresponding message on the multifunction display.
The coolant temperature is recorded by the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4). The CDI control unit or the
ME-SFI [ME] control unit reads in the coolant temperature sensor signal and transmits the corresponding
temperature value on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this on to the instrument cluster
via the central CAN.

When a coolant temperature of T > 130 °C is reached the instrument cluster actuates the coolant temperature
warning lamp (A1e54) and issues a corresponding message via the multifunction display.

Additional function requirements, engine oil level warning

 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)


 Circuit 61 OFF (provided by CDI control unit or ME-SFI [ME] control unit)

Engine oil level warning function sequence

In order to monitor the engine oil level, the oil level check switch (S43) (with engine 156, 272, 273, 276, 278,
642) or the oil sensor (oil level, temperature and quality) (B40) (with engine 157, 275, 629) is installed in the
engine oil pan.

While the oil level check switch only identifies if the engine oil level is at the minimum or not, the oil sensor
monitors the engine oil level, the engine oil temperature and the engine oil quality. The signals from the oil
level check switch or from the oil sensor are read in by the CDI control unit or the ME-SFI [ME] control unit
gateway control unit evaluates the signals from the oil level check switch or from the oil sensor and, if
necessary, requests via the central CAN that an appropriate message be issued in the instrument cluster.

The instrument cluster receives the signal and issues one of the following messages via the multifunction
display:

 "Engine oil level. Stop vehicle. Switch off engine" (red)


 "Engine oil. Service required" (red) (with engine 275, 629)
 "During refueling stop, top up with 1 liter of engine oil" (yellow) (with engine 275, 629)
 "Engine oil level. Reduce oil level" (yellow) (with engine 275, 629)
 "During refueling stop, check engine oil level" (yellow) (with engine 156, 272, 273, 642)

Additional function requirements, preglow indicator (with diesel engine)

 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)

Function sequence, preglow indicator (with diesel engine)

Preglowing is controlled by the CDI control unit. For the period in which preglowing is active, the CDI control
unit transmits a corresponding signal via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the
instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives the signal and actuates the preglow indicator lamp (A1e16)
accordingly.

Additional function requirements for brake pad wear indicator warning messages

 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)

Function sequence for brake wear indicator warning messages

The reaching of the wear limit for the front axle brake pads is detected by the right front brake pad contact
sensor (S10/2) and the reaching of the wear limit for the rear axle brake pads is detected by the right rear brake
pad contact sensor (S10/4).

When the wear limit for the front brake pads is reached, the vehicle ground is switched through to the front
SAM control unit via the front brake pad contact sensor.

When the wear limit for the rear brake pads is reached, the vehicle ground is switched through to the rear SAM
control unit via the rear brake pad contact sensor.

The respective SAM control unit then transmits a corresponding signal via the interior CAN, central gateway
control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

The instrument cluster receives this signal, actuates the brake fluid warning lamp and outputs a corresponding
message via the multifunction display.

Additional function requirements for brake fluid level warning messages


 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)

Function sequence for brake fluid level warning messages

If the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is too low it is detected by the brake fluid check switch (S11).

The status of the brake fluid check switch is read in by the front SAM control unit. When the fill level is too low
the front SAM control unit transmits a corresponding signal to the instrument cluster via the interior CAN,
central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The instrument cluster receives the signal, actuates the brake fluid warning lamp and issues a corresponding
message via the multifunction display.

If a fault is present in the injection system, ignition system or exhaust gas system, the ME-SFI control unit
transmits a corresponding signal to the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and
central CAN. The instrument cluster then actuates the engine diagnosis indicator lamp (A1e58).

Additional function requirements for tank cap warning (with code (494) USA version)

 Circuit 15 On (provided by EIS [EZS] control unit)


Function sequence for tank cap warning (with code (494) USA version)

If the rear SAM control unit identifies an open tank cap, it transmits a corresponding signal via the interior
CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster receives
this signal, actuates the fuel reserve warning lamp (A1e4) so that it flashes and issues a corresponding message
via the multifunction display.

Function sequence for central locking acoustic feedback (as of 1.9.10)

The acoustic feedback must be selected and activated in the multifunction display using the left multifunction
steering wheel button group and right multifunction steering wheel button group (S111). The status of the
acoustic feedback is sent by the instrument cluster via the central CAN to the central gateway control unit and
from there to the front SAM control unit via the interior CAN.

Activate

The instrument cluster illumination switches on automatically as soon as the instrument cluster is activated. The
details of the Instrument cluster are only now clearly visible on account of the "Black-Screen Technology".

Illumination

The instrument cluster illumination depends on the following factors:

 Light falling directly on the instrument cluster (measured by the left brightness sensor and right
brightness sensor.)
 Detected light intensity outside the vehicle (measured by the rain/light sensor (day/night signal).
 Adjustment of switch and controls illumination/Night View Assist display brightness control

Day/night signal

The rain/light sensor measures the light intensity outside the vehicle, converts this into electrical signals and
passes on the signals to the overhead control panel control unit. The overhead control panel control unit
evaluates the signals and places the day or night signal on the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit
(N93) reads in the signal from the interior CAN and places it on the central CAN. The instrument cluster reads
in the signal from the central CAN and actuates the brightness of the instrument illumination and multifunction
display accordingly. For the day signal the instrument cluster is illuminated more brightly than for the night
signal.

In addition to a limited extent the brightness of the instrument illumination and multifunction display can be
readjusted individually via the switch and controls illumination/Night View Assist display brightness control in
the cockpit switch group.

Direct solar radiation on the instrument cluster

The left brightness sensor and right brightness sensor are integrated in the instrument cluster. These brightness
sensors measure the light falling on the Instrument cluster. If, for example, the sun shines directly on the
instrument cluster, the brightness of the instrument illumination and multifunction display is increased
accordingly, in order to achieve ideal legibility of the displays.

In addition to a limited extent the brightness of the instrument illumination and multifunction display can be
readjusted individually via the switch and controls illumination/Night View Assist display brightness control in
the cockpit switch group.

circuit 58d on/off ratio

The lamps of the switch and controls illumination are actuated with a square-wave voltage.

The lamps are actuated in the on-time, afterwards followed by a break until the end of the period. This process
is continuously repeated. The change happens so quickly that the eye does not notice the lamps flickering. The
ratio of the on-time to the cycle duration is called the duty cycle. In the process the cycle duration is constant
and the on-time is the time in which voltage is applied within a period. The greater the duty cycle, the greater
applies at the outputs "circuit 58d" of the various control units is drawn in the figure. The upper drawing in the
figure shows a duty cycle of 80 %, the lower a duty cycle of 40 %. A pulse-duty factor of 100 % corresponds to
DC power. Power is not supplied when the duty cycle is 0 %.

Switch and controls illumination

The brightness of the switch and controls illumination can be adjusted with the factors listed. Control takes
place via the duty cycle of "circuit 58d". The duty cycle of "circuit 58d" is placed on the Controller Area
Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) by the instrument cluster and can thus be received by any control unit
connected to the CAN. Any control unit, which regulates a switch and controls illumination, can now actuate
this independently based on the duty cycle. Advantages of this type of brightness control:

 The brightness of the switch and controls illumination is independent of the number of lamps or control
units fitted.
 Each control unit, which is connected to the CAN, can actuate its lamps with the brightness specified by
the instrument cluster.

With "circuit 58d OFF" (standing lamp OFF) the instrument cluster transmits the message "duty cycle circuit
58d = 0 %". With "Tml. 58d ON" (standing lamps ON), the transmitted duty cycle can vary from 0 % to 100 %
depending on the setting.

With operating faults warning messages are faded in the multifunction display. The warning messages are faded
in below the electronic speedometer with the respective symbol. These warning messages are divided up into
the following priorities:

 Priority 1

Warning messages with high priority

 Priority 2

Warning messages with low priority

Priority 1, warning messages with high priority

These warning messages cannot be acknowledged sometimes. When they occur the fault is shown in the
multifunction display. New warning messages with the same priority are faded in automatically as soon as the
previous warning message was displayed for 5 s.

The display changes between the warning messages every 5 s. Any priority 2 warning messages are cross-faded.

Priority 2, warning messages with low priority

If a priority 1 warning message is present, the priority 2 warning message is not displayed until the priority 1
warning message has been acknowledged or the fault is no longer present. New warning messages with the
same priority are faded in automatically as soon as the previous warning message was displayed for 5 s. The
display changes between the warning messages every 5 s.
Most warning messages can be acknowledged with the OK button (S110s6) of the left multifunction steering
wheel button group (S110)

In addition to the display of warning messages in the multifunction display warning lamps or indicator lamps
are actuated for some faults. These lightup as long as the fault is present and, like most warning messages,
cannot be acknowledged in the multifunction display.

Displaying warning and fault messages

Except for a few exceptions fault messages are first displayed when the engine is running. Current fault
messages are faded in immediately.

A warning chime sounds simultaneously for many of the warning messages.

Reminder about faults at the end of a trip

With "circuit 15 OFF" the faults are stored in an error list and a displayed again as a reminder.

Example of display priority

Three of the many possible messages are shown below with a short description.

The sequence in which messages are displayed in the case of several faults is explained using an example:

 If the washer fluid level is too low a priority 2 message which calls up refilling the washer fluid is shown
in the multifunction display.
 If the coolant level is also too low as well, the priority 2 message which calls up checking the coolant
level is also displayed. The display now changes every 5 seconds between this message and the message
which calls up the refilling of washer fluid as 2 messages of the same priority exist.
 If now in addition a fault in the level control occurs the priority 1 message which requests stopping the
vehicle is displayed. This message cross-fades the two priority 2 messages due to its higher priority.
The example is based on the assumption that none of the messages is acknowledged and canceled.

belt buckle and seat belt warning switch is closed.

 The seat belt warning lamp lights up if the status "circuit 61 ON" is present, the vehicle speed > 25 km/h,
the front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor has detected a person or a child seat on
the front passenger seat and the front passenger seat belt buckle and seat belt warning switch is not
closed. The warning tone is deactivated as soon as the front passenger seat belt buckle and seat belt
warning switch is closed.

Warning chime sequence

The warning chime sounds intermittently (missing temporarily and repeats at an interval of 5 s On and 3 s Off).
The warning tone sequence of the seat belt reminder warning is deactivated immediately if the driver / front
passenger have fastened their seat belts. The maximum actuation time of 110 s continues running in the
background. If a belt is unfastened within this time, the warning chime sequence is output again. The seat belt
warning lamp lights up during the warning chime sequence (A1e9).

The seat belt reminder warning is given once for each journey but can be activated again by driving the
vehicle at a speed below 5 km/h.

General

The electronic speedometer is used to display vehicle speed. The electronic speedometer is displayed in the
multifunction display.

The electronic speedometer can be displayed as follows:

 Ring speedometer
 Strip speedometer (on vehicles with code (610) Night View Assist)

In addition to the electronic speedometer an additional speedo can be faded in in the multifunction display.

Measuring the vehicle speed

The wheel speeds from the following sensors are evaluated to calculate the vehicle speed:

 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1/)


 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2/)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3/)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4/)
Additional speedometer shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06

Function

The additional speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle in a digital numerical display in the lower left
multifunction display. The dimensional unit of speedometer scale of the electronic speedometer is as follows in
relation to the dimensional unit of the additional speedometer:

 If the dimensional unit of the speedometer scale of the electronic speedometer is kilometers, the
additional speedo is displayed in miles.
 If the dimensional unit of the speedometer scale of the electronic speedometer is miles, the additional
speedo is displayed in kilometers.

Switching on or off additional speedometer

The additional speedometer is switched on or off as follows:


 use the system selection button (S110s3) of the left multifunction steering wheel button group (S110) to
select the "Settings" menu item.
 Using the scroll forward/back button (S110s1) of the Left multifunction steering wheel button group
select the "additional speedometer" menu item and confirm with the OK button (S110s6).
 Use the OK button to switch the additional speedo on or off.
 The displayed function is stored and exited using the "Back" and SBS off button (S110s4).

Evaluating the wheel speed signals

Since the wheels do not always rotate at the same speed, all 4 wheel speeds must be evaluated. As the
evaluation procedure is very complex, a simplified version is described here:

 The individual wheel speeds are compared and submitted to a plausibility check. If there are no
significant differences, the vehicle speed is determined using the rotational speed of the left front wheel.
 If the individual wheel speed signals differ considerably, the speed signals may be faulty or the vehicle
may be cornering.
 If appropriate comparison of the wheel speeds (between the two sides of the vehicle) by the instrument
cluster indicates that the vehicle is cornering, the speed is determined from the mean value of the front
wheel speeds.
 If the comparisons indicate one or more incorrect wheel speeds, the speed is calculated from the highest
wheel speed. This also applies if an error message is received instead of a rotational wheel speed. In this
case a corresponding fault message is also output.

If error messages are received for all wheel speeds, the speed 0 km/h or 0 mph is displayed (speed display
pointer at start of scale).

Networking shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06

Fig. 63: Instrument Cluster CAN Networking Diagram


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
Reading in the data for the vehicle speed signal:

 The left front RPM sensor, right front RPM sensor, left rear RPM sensor and right rear RPM sensor are
read in by the ESP control unit.
 The ESP control unit places the RPM sensor signals on the chassis CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the chassis CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN and calculates the vehicle speed from
them. The instrument cluster indicates the vehicle speed as a ring or strip speedometer (only on code
(610) Night View Assist) in the electronic speedometer and places the vehicle speed signal on the central
CAN.

Cruise control display

For the cruise control function the speedometer scale in the multifunction display is displayed in the form of a
segment band in the ring speedometer or band speedometer of the electronic speedometer. The individual
segments symbolize various vehicle speed ranges and can be actuated individually with different brightness and
color.

The brightened segments are shown as follows:

 The cruise control without limiter is displayed with a brightened segment above the speed to be regulated
by the cruise control.
 The cruise control with limiter (except code (494) USA version) is displayed with a brightened segment
between the cruise control speed and limiter speed.
 The cruise control with Distronic (with code (219) Distronic (DTR)) or cruise control with Distronic Plus
(with code (233) Distronic Plus) is displayed by a brightened segment between the measured speed of the
vehicle driving in front and the adjusted speed.

Limiter, except code (494) USA version

With the functionality of the limiter a maximum speed below the maximum speed of the vehicle actually
achievable or (if switched on) up to the adjusted speed of the "Permanent Limiters". If the vehicle gets close to
the adjusted speed, the limiter ensures that the adjusted maximum vehicle speed is maintained by engine
intervention. The limiter is adjustable in the range from 30 km/h up to the maximum speed. The adjustment
takes place via the CC [TPM] switch (S40/4) in steps of ten and one (km/h or mph). In the electronic
speedometer in the multifunction display the segments of the ring speedometer or the strip speedometer then
light up from the scale start up to the adjusted value.

Permanent Limiter, except code (494) USA version

A permanent speed limit (adjustable in 10-km/h steps of 160 km/h to 240 km/h or in 10-mph steps from 100
mph to 150 mph) can be adjusted via the "Settings" menu and the "Speedtronik" submenu item in the
multifunction display. The adjustment takes place via the buttons of the left multifunction steering wheel button
group and the "Back" and VCS [SBS] off button. The permanent speed limit is displayed by a segment band
above the electronic speedometer from the start of the scale up to the adjusted speed limit value.
Correspondingly a warning message appears in the multifunction display and a warning chime is output when
the adjusted vehicle speed is exceeded.

DISPLAY OPERATING CONDITIONS, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-3041LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 15 ON

The EZS control unit (N73) places the status of circuit 15 on the chassis CAN (CAN E). The central gateway
control unit (N93) forwards this to the instrument cluster (A1) via the central CAN (CAN F).

Display operating state function (general)

The operating conditions display provides the driver with permanent information about the current operating
conditions of the vehicle.

The Display operating conditions function is comprised of the following partial functions:

 Function sequence for vehicle speed display


 Display of engine speed function sequence
 Display of coolant temperature function sequence
 Display of fuel quantity function sequence
 Display of travel distance function sequence
 Function sequence, gear display and transmission mode display
 Function sequence for display of charge level of high-voltage battery (A100g1) (on model
221.095/195)

Additional function requirements for vehicle speed display

 Vehicle speed v > 0 km/h

Function sequence for vehicle speed display

The ESP control unit (N47-5) (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit
(N30/6) (on model 221.095/195) reads in the signals from the left front RPM sensor (L6/1), right front RPM
sensor (L6/2), left rear RPM sensor (L6/3) and right rear RPM sensor (L6/4) directly and transmits them via the
chassis CAN.

The central gateway control unit forwards these signals to the instrument cluster via the central CAN. The
instrument cluster receives the signals from the RPM sensors, calculates the current vehicle speed and actuates
the electronic speedometer (A1p8) by means of a stepper motor.

In the multifunction display (A1p13), the vehicle speed can also be displayed digitally. This function is
selected in the "Trip" menu.

In the "Settings" menu, it is also possible to select an additional speedometer. This additional speedometer
always shows the vehicle speed in the units not shown in the display in the instrument cluster, i.e. in miles per
hour (mph) in the kilometers speedometer and in kilometers per hour (km/h) in the miles speedometer.

On vehicles with code (833) Great Britain version, the additional speedometer is displayed permanently and
cannot be deselected.

Additional function requirements for display of engine speed

 Circuit 61 ON

Display of engine speed function sequence

The engine speed is detected by the crankshaft Hall sensor (B70) (except engine 275) or by the crankshaft
position sensor (L5) (with engine 275). The CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or the ME-SFI [ME]
control unit (N3/10) (with gasoline engine) reads in the signals from the crankshaft Hall sensor or the crankshaft
position sensor, uses them to calculate the engine speed and transmits a corresponding value on the chassis
CAN. The central gateway control unit forwards this to the instrument cluster via the central CAN. The
instrument cluster receives the value for the engine speed and actuates the tachometer (A1p5) accordingly by
way of a stepper motor.

Display of coolant temperature function sequence

Coolant temperatures are monitored by the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4). The CDI control unit or the
ME-SFI [ME] control unit reads in the signal from the coolant temperature sensor, uses it to calculate the
coolant temperature and transmits a corresponding value on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit
passes this value on to the instrument cluster via the central CAN. The instrument cluster receives the value for
the coolant temperature and actuates the coolant temperature display (A1p1) accordingly.

Function sequence for fuel quantity display

The left tank half fuel level indicator sensor (B4/1) and the right tank half fuel level indicator sensor (B4/2)
detect the fill level of the fuel tank. The rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) reads in the
signals from the fuel level indicator sensor and transmits them on the interior CAN (CAN B). The central
gateway control unit forwards these signals to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

The instrument cluster receives these signals, evaluates them and actuates the fuel level and reserve indicator
(A1p2) accordingly by means of a stepper motor.

When the reserve range is reached, the instrument cluster actuates the fuel reserve warning lamp (A1e4). The
reserve range is defined by comparing the measured fill level against a stored tank characteristic.
If the reserve range drops to approx. 50 %, a gas station symbol in the form of a gasoline pump is shown in the
Range menu instead of the distance reading.

Display characteristics of fuel level indicator:

 After switching on circuit 15, the current fill level is displayed. In the process, the pointer runs up without
being buffered.
 While the vehicle is driving, the display is updated via a buffering system.
 After circuit 15 is switched off, the pointer of the fuel level and reserve indicator is moved back to zero.

A fuel level indicator sensor which is jammed tight is detected by comparing the change in fill level of the
fuel tank with the calculated composite mileage. If the fill level drops faster over a particular distance than is
technically feasible with the composite mileage, a defective fuel level indicator sensor is detected and an
appropriate message is shown in the multifunction display.

Display of travel distance function sequence

The travel distance display function is made up of the following subfunctions:

 Determination of travel distance function sequence


 Display of main odometer reading function sequence
 Display of trip distance function sequence
 Storage of counter readings function sequence

Determination of travel distance function sequence

The instrument cluster calculates the travel distance from the signals received from the RPM sensors taking the
tire circumference into consideration.

The tire size is coded via the diagnostics tester.

Function sequence, display of main odometer reading

The main odometer reading display is shown in the multifunction display. The maximum displayed counter
reading on the main odometer is 1, 700, 000.

The display does not then start again at zero.

Display of trip distance function sequence

The trip distance display is shown in the multifunction display. The maximum displayed counter reading of the
trip distance is 9999.9. If this value is achieved, the figure returns to zero.

Storage of counter readings function sequence


The main odometer reading is saved continuously to the nonvolatile part of the instrument cluster's internal
memory. This memory guarantees the retention of the counter reading for at least five years even when the on-
board electrical system battery (G1) is disconnected.

The current reading of the trip odometer is likewise stored in the nonvolatile memory of the instrument cluster.

Function sequence, gear display and transmission mode display

The data required for the gear indicator is transmitted by the EGS control unit (N15/3) (with transmission
722.6) or the fully integrated transmission control unit (VGS) (Y3/8n4) (with transmission 722.9) on the drive
train CAN (CAN C).

The transmission mode information is made available on the drive train CAN by the intelligent servo module
for DIRECT SELECT (A80). The CDI control unit or the ME-SFI [ME] control unit passes the information on
to the central gateway control unit via the chassis CAN.

The central gateway control unit forwards the information to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.

Possible transmission modes are:

 "C" = Comfort (up to 31.8.10)


 "E" = Economy (as of 1.9.10)
 "S" = Sport
 "M" = Manual

The current gear is shown in the gear indicator (A1p12) and the current transmission mode is shown in the
transmission mode display (A1p16) in the multifunction display.

Function sequence for display of charge level of high-voltage battery (on model 221.095/195)

The charge level of the high-voltage battery is indicated in the multifunction display in the form of a battery
symbol together with power level as a percentage.

The display is called up by the following selection:

 Select "Trip" menu using system selection button (S110s3)


 Select hybrid display by scrolling using scroll forward and back button (S110s1)

The charge level of the high-voltage battery is also shown in the COMAND display (A40/8) (without code
(867) SPLITVIEW) or in the SPLITVIEW display (A40/10) (with code (867) SPLITVIEW). Here too, the
power level is given as a percentage.

Additionally, the energy flow of the hybrid drive is shown by arrows.

The data required to display this is sent by the battery management system control unit (N82/2) to the
COMAND display or the SPLITVIEW display via the drive train sensor CAN (CAN I), ME-SFI [ME] control
unit, chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The instrument cluster and the COMAND display or the SPLITVIEW display receive this data and evaluate it
accordingly so that it can be displayed.

Display fuel supply, networking shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06

Fig. 66: Display Operating Conditions Function Diagram

General

The fuel level and reserve indicator is located in the left of the Instrument cluster and is designed as an analog
display. The fuel level and reserve indicator is driven by a stepper motor. If the "circuit 15 ON" status exists, the
pointer of the fuel level and reserve indicator is run up slowly to the respective value.

Refueling recognition of fuel level and reserve indicator with "circuit 15 OFF"

If the vehicle is refueled with "circuit 15 OFF", the fuel level and reserve indicator is updated when the "circuit
15 ON" state exists again, provided that approx. 3 liters of fuel have been added.

Refueling recognition of fuel level and reserve indicator with "circuit 15 ON"

With "circuit 15 ON", the current tank content is displayed on the fuel level and reserve indicator.

If the vehicle is refueled with "circuit 15 ON", the fuel level and reserve indicator is not updated until approx. 7
liters of fuel have been added.

The fuel level and reserve indicator is always updated after a delay and the pointer of the fuel level and
reserve indicator always runs up to the new fuel value slowly. This ensures that fluctuations in the fuel level
resulting from vehicle movement are not shown on the fuel level and reserve indicator.

Reserve indication range

If the reserve range is reached, the fuel reserve warning lamp lights up yellow. The lamp is triggered with a
delay period to prevent the lamp flickering. The tank contents are still approx. 12 l when the fuel reserve
Information flow and networking

The flow of information is as follows:

 The left tank half fuel level sensor and right tank half fuel level sensor measure the tank capacity and are
read in by the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.
 The signals from the fuel level sensor, left tank half and fuel level sensor, right tank half are converted
into a percent value by the Rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module and interior CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the interior CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The Instrument cluster receives these signals from the central CAN and actuates the stepper motor of the
fuel level and reserve indicator corresponding to the tank contents

Jammed fuel tank sensor recognition

The jammed fuel tank sensor recognition function becomes active after the vehicle has covered a distance of s >
160 km. Tank sensor seized is detected, if the sensor resistance value of the Left tank half fuel level sensor or
right tank half fuel level sensor does not change by at least a defined resistance value within a certain distance.

If this condition occurs, a corresponding fault bit is set in the fault memory of the rear SAM control unit with
fuse and relay module. The erroneous bit is erased again if the requested change in resistance value of the left
tank half fuel level sensor or right tank half fuel level sensor has occurred.

If a fault occurs, the pointer of the fuel level and reserve indicator moves to the beginning of the scale. The
fuel reserve indicator lamp is not actuated.

Networking of outside temperature indicator, shown on model 221 with engine 272 up to 31.8.06
Fig. 67: Networking Of Outside Temperature Indicator
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The outside temperature indicator takes account of the following data to display the temperature value:

 Outside temperature value


 Vehicle speed signal
 Coolant temperature
 Engine running time

The instrument cluster processes this data and actuates the outside temperature indicator in the multifunction
display accordingly. The outside temperature indicator is actuated as of circuit status "circuit 15 ON".

The fact that the outside temperature indicator is dependent on the outside temperature, coolant temperature,
vehicle speed and engine operating time prevents too high a temperature as can be caused by engine heat
dissipation being displayed when the vehicle is stationary or driving slowly.

coolant temperature < 60 °C

When the coolant temperature is < 60 °C, the current outside temperature value is displayed continuously when
the instrument cluster is activated.

Coolant temperature > or =60 °C

If the coolant temperature is > or =60 °C, with a status change from "Circuit 15 ON" to "Circuit 15 OFF" the
temperature value last measured is stored and displayed in the instrument cluster. When the instrument cluster is
activated, the stored temperature is always displayed. If the measured outside temperature drops below the
stored value, the current measured temperature is displayed with a delay period of 8 s.

When the vehicle is being driven, the delay periods also depend on the vehicle speed:

 At speeds of 20 to 45 km/h rising outside temperatures are displayed after a delay period of 3 minutes.
 At speeds > 45 km/h rising outside temperatures are displayed after a delay period of 90 s.
 With a reduction in speed < 20 km/h the display is only changed when the measured outside temperature
value drops.

If the instrument cluster does not receive a valid coolant temperature from the central CAN, the outside
temperature is determined in the same way as for a coolant temperature > or = 60 °C.

Rising outside temperature with engine OFF following engine running period

If the outside temperature rises above the stored value with the engine OFF, the outside temperature currently
measured is only shown in the outside temperature indicator of the multifunction display after 6-times the
engine running time, however after a maximum of one hour.

If the coolant temperature drops below 60 °C, the delay time counter is canceled immediately and rising
temperatures are shown in the outside temperature indicator of the multifunction display.

Example: Delay period for outside temperature indicator

The preceding engine running time was 5 minutes. The delay time is then 6x5 minutes. The current temperature
is thus only displayed after 30 minutes.

If the engine running time was more than 10 minutes, a maximum of 10 minutes is taken into account when
calculating the delay time. The maximum delay period is thus 60 min.

Information flow and networking

Reading in the data required for the coolant temperature value:

Reading in data required for the outside temperature value:

The outside temperature indicator temperature sensor

 The coolant temperature sensor changes its resistance corresponding to the coolant temperature. The
sensor has a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistance, i.e. the resistance reduces as temperature
increases.
 The resistance of the coolant temperature sensor is read in by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or by the
CDI control unit (N3/9) (model 221).
 The ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI control unit (model 221) converts the measured resistance values
of the coolant temperature sensor into a temperature value and places this on the chassis CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the chassis CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN and processes them.
 changes its resistance according to the outside temperature. The sensor is an NTC resistor.
 The resistance value of the outside temperature display temperature sensor is read in discretely by the
front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.
 The front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module places the signal on the interior CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the interior CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN and processes them.

Reading in the data for the vehicle speed signal:

 The left front RPM sensor, right front RPM sensor, left rear RPM sensor and right rear RPM sensor are
read in by the ESP control unit.
 The ESP control unit places the RPM sensor signals on the chassis CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the chassis CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN and processes them.

The Instrument cluster processes all the data received and actuates the outside temperature indicator in the
multifunction display.

Range

The display range is -40 to +85 °C or -40 to +185 °F. The resolution of the outside temperature indicator is 0.5 °
C or 1 °F. If the outside temperature measured exceeds the display range the maximum display value of the
display range is shown. If the outside temperature measured drops below the display range, the minimum
display value of the display range is shown.

Adjustment from degrees Celsius (°C) or degrees Fahrenheit (°F)

The dimensional unit of the outside temperature indicator is adjusted at the end of the assembly line to (°C) or (°
F) depending on the country.

General

The coolant temperature display is located on the left of the instrument cluster and is designed as an analog
display. The display is driven by a stepper motor. It is actuated as of circuit status "Circuit 15 ON".

Fault behavior

If the Controller Area Network (data bus/CAN bus) (CAN) signal is defective or if the instrument cluster does
not receive a coolant temperature signal, the pointer is moved back to the start of the scale in a damped manner.
In addition an erroneous bit is set in the fault memory of the instrument cluster.

Networking and information flow

Information flow, engine fan defective:

 If there is a defect in the engine fan, a fault signal is placed on the chassis CAN by the ME-SFI [ME]
control unit or by the CDI control unit (model 221).
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signal from the chassis CAN and places it on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signal from the central CAN and processes it

Coolant temperature characteristics

Display range of the coolant temperature display in normal mode (plateau characteristic):

 In the measured coolant temperature range of > or = °C to < 120 °C the values of the plateau
characteristic are displayed in the coolant temperature display.
 In the measured coolant temperature range of > or =120 °C to < 130 °C the values of the plateau
characteristic are displayed in the coolant temperature display.
 In the measured coolant temperature range of > or =130 °C the pointer of the coolant temperature display
is controlled at the scale end value.

The plateau characteristic should prevent the driver being unnecessarily disturbed by a high temperature but one
which is not critical for the vehicle, e.g. at a high outside temperature.

If the engine fan is defective the plateau characteristic is exited and the measured coolant temperature is
always displayed in the coolant temperature display.

Warning range

The warning range of the coolant temperature display highlighted in red starts at 120 °C.

If the coolant temperature is too high a warning is output in the multifunction display and in addition a warning
tone sounds.

General

The tachometer is located in the right of the instrument cluster and is designed as an analog display. The display
is driven by a stepper motor.

Networking

The flow of information is as follows:

 The RPM is recorded by the crankshaft Hall sensor.


 The signals from the crankshaft Hall sensor are read in by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or by the CDI
control unit (model 221) and placed on the chassis CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the chassis CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster receives these signals from the central CAN and actuates the tachometer stepper
motor corresponding to the RPM.

In the event of the implausible values from the CAN the pointer of the tachometer is controlled to the start of
the scale. An error message is also stored in the fault memory.

Calculation of mileage

The travel distance is derived from the speed of the vehicle and the length of time that the respective speed was
maintained.

Information flow and networking

Reading in the data for the vehicle speed signal:

 The left front RPM sensor, right front RPM sensor, left rear RPM sensor and right rear RPM sensor are
read in by the ESP control unit.
 The ESP control unit places the RPM sensor signals on the chassis CAN.
 The central gateway control unit reads in the signals from the chassis CAN and places them on the central
CAN.
 The instrument cluster reads in the signals from the central CAN, calculates the vehicle speed from them
and places them on the central CAN.

The time period is determined internally in the instrument cluster.

Displaying the total mileage

The total mileage is a 6-digit display in kilometers or miles in the basic display of the multifunction display as
The range for the main odometer is from 0 to 999, 999 kilometers or miles. If the maximum mileage is reached,
the counter is not reset to 0 kilometers or miles. The instrument cluster must be replaced in this case.

Displaying the trip mileage

The trip odometer is a 5-digit display in kilometers or miles in the basic display of the multifunction display as
soon as the instrument cluster has been activated.

The range for the trip odometer is from 0 to 9999.9 kilometers or miles. Once the maximum reading is reached
the display reverts to 0 kilometers or miles.

Resetting the trip odometer

In order to reset the trip odometer, the instrument cluster must be activated and the basic display of the trip
computer (RRE) must be shown.

The trip odometer is reset to 0 km or miles by pressing "Back" and SBS off button (S110s4) for at least 3
seconds.

Storage of data

When the on-board electrical system battery is disconnected the main odometer reading remains stored G1 for
at least 5 years in the instrument cluster memory and in the memory of the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73).

The trip odometer is also protected against data loss when the onboard electrical system battery is disconnected.

Fault behavior and shutdown interlock:

 A shutdown interlock protects the odometer against speed values which are not in the plausible range.
 In the event of a defective RPM sensor fault value is placed on the CAN by the ESP control unit. The
instrument cluster receives this fault value and determines the travel distance from the remaining RPM
values. In addition, an erroneous bit is set for the faulty RPM sensor in the fault memory.
 If the instrument cluster cannot receive a valid speed signal via the central CAN, the mileage display is
set to the value 0 km or miles in the multifunction display or miles and a fault bit is set in the fault
memory.

COMFORT DISPLAYS, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-3043LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Instrument cluster (A1) activated

Comfort displays, function (general)

The comfort displays provide a fast overview of the information, which is not required to operate the vehicle.

The comfort display function is made up of the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for displaying outside temperature


 Function sequence for displaying the time
 Night View Assist display function sequence (with code (610) Night View Assist)
 Function sequence for illumination of instrument cluster

Function sequence for displaying outside temperature

The outside temperature value is defined through the resistance value of the outside temperature indicator
temperature sensor (B14). The front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) reads in the
resistance value of the outside temperature indicator temperature sensor directly, calculates from this the outside
temperature T in °C and transmits a corresponding signal to the instrument cluster via the interior CAN (CAN
B), central gateway control unit (N93) and central CAN (CAN F). The instrument cluster receives the signal
and actuates the outside temperature indicator (A1p4) accordingly.

The outside temperature is displayed according to the country coding in either °C or °F.

The following parameters must also be taken into account to determine a correct value of outside temperature:

 Vehicle speed (falsification of value through airstream)


 Coolant temperature (falsification of value through radiant heat)
The vehicle speed is calculated on the basis of the wheel speeds. The wheel speeds are recorded by the
following components:

 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1)


 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4)

The ESP control unit (N47-5) (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit
(N30/6) (with model 221.095/195) reads in the signals from the RPM sensors and sends them to the instrument
cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The instrument cluster receives the signals from the RPM sensors and uses them to calculate the current vehicle
speed.

The coolant temperature is recorded by the coolant temperature sensor (B11/4). The CDI control unit (N3/9)
(for diesel engine) or the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) (for gasoline engine) reads in the coolant
temperature sensor signal, calculates the coolant temperature and transmits the corresponding value via the
chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit passes this value on to the instrument cluster via the central
CAN.

The coolant temperature values have an influence on the outside temperature indicator as follows:

 Coolant temperature T < 60 °C:

The current outside temperature value is always displayed.

 Coolant temperature T > 60 °C and circuit 61 ON:

At vehicle speeds of v < 20 km/h (12 mph), the outside temperature display only changes if the measured
outside temperature value drops.

At vehicle speeds of v = 20 to 45 km/h, rising outside temperatures are displayed after a delay period of t
= 3 min. At vehicle speeds of v > 45 km/h rising outside temperatures are displayed after a delay period
of t = 90 s.

 Coolant temperature T > 60 °C and circuit 61 OFF:

A delay period (maximum t = 2 h) ensures that any apparent increase in outside temperature due to heat
dissipated from the engine is not displayed. A rise in display value is not permitted during this delay
period.

With circuit 15 OFF, the coolant temperature value last measured is stored and displayed when the circuit is
reactivated. The display range is between -40 °C and +85 °C or between -40 °F and +185 °F. The display
appears in the lower range of the multifunction display (A1p13).
The EZS control unit (N73) sends the status of circuit 15 to the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN (CAN
E), central gateway control unit and central CAN.

If the instrument cluster receives implausible or no values at all from the temperature sensor for the outside
temperature indicator, then the display of outside temperature is controlled as if the coolant temperature were T
> 60 °C.

Function sequence for displaying the time

The time is shown on the analog clock (A70/1).

The time is adjusted via the COMAND controller unit (A40/3).

When adjusting, the instrument cluster reads in the signals directly via the central CAN.

For vehicles with code (527) COMAND APS with single DVD drive (with navigation) or code (529) HIGH
Class Japan or code (530) COMAND APS USA (with navigation) the time synchronizes itself automatically via
the Global Positioning System (GPS) signal received by the COMAND controller unit.

Manual adjustment of the time is only possible here if automatic synchronization is switched off on the
instrument cluster.

After updating the internal time, the instrument cluster transmits a corresponding signal via the central CAN,
central gateway control unit and interior CAN to the upper control panel control unit (N72/1).

The upper control panel control unit actuates the analog clock via the instrument panel LIN (LIN 1).

Additional function requirements, Night View Assist display (with code (610) Night View Assist)

 Night View Assist active

The instrument cluster replaces the standard display of the electronic speedometer (A1p8) with the bar graph
display with video image. The Night View Assist control unit transmits the

Night View Assist display function sequence (with code (610) Night View Assist)

By pressing the Night View Assist button (S1s9) the display of Night View Assist camera (B84/2) pictures on
the multifunction display is requested. The upper control panel control unit reads in the status of the Night View
Assist button via the instrument panel LIN and transmits this on the interior CAN. The central gateway control
unit forwards this via the central CAN to the instrument cluster and, up to 31.5.09, via the chassis CAN to the
ESP control unit and via the vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H) to the Night View Assist control unit (N101) or,
as of 1.6.09, via the chassis CAN to the Night View Assist control unit.

video images from the Night View Assist camera via the low voltage differential signal (LVDS) line to the
instrument cluster.
image areas that blind the driver are suppressed. Consequently it is made possible for the driver to be aware of
other picture contents (e.g. obstacles, pedestrians or cyclists).

The brightness distribution is controlled by the Night View Assist control unit.

Instrument cluster illumination function sequence

The following events will activate the background illumination of the multifunction display and the scale
illumination of the instrument cluster:

 Unlock the vehicle with the transmitter key (A8/1)


 Open or close driver door
 Change of status "Transmitter key inserted"
 Switching on the standing lights
 Switching on circuit 15R
 Operation of OK button (S110s6)
 Operation of "Back" and VCS OFF button (S110s4)
 Operation of electric parking brake switch (S76/15)

If the scale illumination of the instrument cluster has been activated and no further action takes place, the
instrument cluster switches off the scale illumination after a time interval of t = 30 s has passed. If a fault
message is displayed, this time interval increases to t = 120 s.

The EIS [EZS] control unit transmits the central locking status and the circuit status of circuit 15R to the
instrument cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or the front left door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) transmits
the driver door status via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument
cluster.

The front SAM control unit transmits the status of the standing light actuation to the instrument cluster via the
interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.

The steering column tube module transmits the status of the left multifunction steering wheel button group
(S110) to the instrument cluster (N80) via the steering LIN (LIN E1), chassis CAN, central gateway control unit
and central CAN.

The electric parking brake controller unit (A13) transmits the electric parking brake switch status via the front
end CAN (CAN G), central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

The instrument cluster illumination is automatically adapted to the brightness conditions of the interior
corresponding to the signals from the right brightness sensor (A1b2) and left brightness sensor (A1b3).

Depending on the light incidence the instrument cluster regulates the illumination between P = 80 and 100 % of
the maximum brightness.
When the rain/light sensor (B38/2) transmits the status "Darkness recognized" the instrument cluster switches
over to night mode automatically.

The brightness is then approx. 50 % of day mode. As soon as the rain/light sensor transmits the "Day" status,
the instrument cluster regulates the lighting again to between P = 80 % and 100 % of the maximum brightness.

The overhead control panel control unit (N70) reads in the rain/ light sensor signal and sends this via the interior
CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster. The instrument illumination
brightness can also be changed individually by using the switch and controls illumination/Night View Assist
display brightness control (S6/2r1), provided that the exterior lighting is turned on.

TRIP COMPUTER, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-3044LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 15 ON

The EZS control unit (N73) sends the status of circuit 15 to the instrument cluster (A1) via the chassis CAN
(CAN E), central gateway control unit (N93) and central CAN (CAN F).

Trip computer (TRIP) function, general

The trip computer provides data and information on average fuel consumption, trip time, average speed, travel
distance and remaining range. The information is shown in the multifunction display (A1p13) in the instrument
cluster.

The trip computer provides the following display screens:

 "AFTER START" (short-distance memory)


 "After reset" (long-distance memory)

The information displayed refers to the point in time of the last reset of the short-distance memory ("After
start") or of the long distance memory ("After reset").

The following content can be shown on the trip computer:

 Selected display screen "After start" or "After reset"


 Travel distance driven "After start" or "After reset"
 Time passed "After start" or "After reset"
 Average transportation speed
 Average fuel consumption

The corresponding display screen can be selected by scrolling with the scroll forward and back button (S110s1)
and then selecting with the system selection button (S110s3).

The steering column tube module (N80) reads in the corresponding selection via the steering LIN (LIN E1) and
transmits this to the instrument cluster via the interior CAN (CAN B), central gateway control unit and central
CAN.

The trip computer function is made up of the following component functions:

 Display of travel distance function sequence


 Function sequence for the time display
 Function sequence for the average speed display
 Function sequence for displaying average and present consumption
 Function sequence for remaining distance display
 Function sequence for reset display

Display of travel distance function sequence

The travel distance is calculated in the instrument cluster from the wheel speeds.
The wheel speeds are recorded by the following components:

 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1)


 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4)

The ESP control unit (N47-5) (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit
(N30/6) (with model 221.095/195) reads in the signals from the RPM sensors and sends them to the instrument
cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN. The instrument cluster receives the
signals from the RPM sensors and uses them to calculate the travel distance.

The travel distance "After start" is displayed in a range of 0 to 9999 km. An automatic reset is performed
following a travel distance "After start" overflow.

If a period of more than t = 4 h lies between the time when circuit 15 is switched off and then switched on
again, then the "After start" odometer is automatically reset to 0.

The "AFTER RESET" travel distance display is shown in a range of 0 to 99, 999 km. An automatic reset takes
place at a value of the travel distance "After reset" of more than 100.000 km.

Depending on the setting in the instrument cluster and the national version code, the travel distance is displayed
in:

 Kilometers (e.g. Economic Commission for Europe (ECE))


 Miles (e.g. USA)

When changing over from kilometers to miles a changeover from liters to gallons also takes place
automatically.

Function sequence for the time display

With circuit 15 ON, a time counter in the instrument cluster adds up the time "After start" or "After reset". The
display ranges from 0 to 999 h and 59 min.

The time "After reset" is determined analog to determining the time "After start", though here the display takes
place in a range of 0 to 9999 h and 59 min.

Function sequence for the average speed display

The trip computer calculates the average speed from the ratio between the travel distance driven and the
time passed (trip time) since the last reset of the short-distance memory or long-distance memory.
Depending on the setting (kilometers/miles) and national version code, the average speed display is shown
in:
 mph (miles per hour)

Function sequence for displaying average and present consumption

The trip computer calculates the fuel consumption using the following information:

 Consumption signal from CDI control unit (N3/9) (for diesel engine) or from ME-SFI [ME] control unit
(N3/10) (for gasoline engine)
 Travel distance covered "After start" or "After reset"

Depending on the unit setting (kilometers/miles) and the national variant coding of the instrument cluster the
fuel consumption is displayed in:

 l/100 km (liters per 100 kilometers)


 mpg (miles per gallon)
 km/l (kilometers per liter)

The CDI control unit or the ME-SFI [ME] control unit transmits the relevant information over the chassis CAN,
central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.

Bar graph display of present consumption (as of 1.6.09):

Function sequence for remaining distance display

The trip computer determines the expected range from the ratio between the current tank capacity and the
average fuel consumption.

The current tank contents are recorded by the fuel level sensor, left tank half (B4/1) and fuel level sensor, right
tank half (B4/2). The rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) reads in the signals from the
fuel level indicator sensors and transmits them via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central
CAN to the instrument cluster. The average fuel consumption is gathered from the short-distance memory or
long-

The following static displays are possible in the multifunction display:

 At vehicle standstill v = 0 km/h and circuit 15 OFF, a present consumption of "0 l/100 km" is shown.
 At vehicle standstill v = 0 km/h and circuit 15 ON, a present consumption of "0 l/100 km" is shown.
 At vehicle standstill v = 0 km/h and circuit 61 ON, the maximum present consumption is shown.

distance memory.

Function sequence for reset display

The trip computer is reset by pressing the OK button (S110s6) in the left multifunction steering wheel button
group (S110). Only the currently displayed information is reset.

COOLANT/WASHER FLUID LEVEL VOLTAGE CODING, FUNCTION - GF54.30-P-4001SX

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 up to Model Year 8

Diagram for low washer fluid level


Fig. 83: Coolant/Washer Fluid Level Voltage Circuit Diagram
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The coolant level indicator switch and windshield washer fluid level indicator switch are connected in series
and are read in by the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.

Voltage coding

The switch (s1 ) and switch (s2 ) are connected in parallel for voltage coding of the resistor (r1 ) and the resistor
(r2 ), the values of resistance (r1 ) and resistor (r2 ) must differ. These resistors (r1 , r2 ) form, when switches
(s1 , s2 ) are open, together with the resistor (r3 ) of the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module, a
voltage divider which is supplied with constant voltage (u). The voltage (ue ) at the input of the Front SAM
control unit with fuse and relay module is dependent on the positions of the switch (s1 ) and switch (s2 ) and the
values of the resistances (r1 , r2 , r3 ). Each of the switch combinations (s1 , s2 ) produces a different voltage
value (ue ) at the input of the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.

Evaluation

The voltage (u e) is applied at the input of the ADC of the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module.
The ADC converts the analog voltage into a digital value. The processor compares the digitized value with the
threshold values stored in a memory and if necessary places the corresponding messages ("Refill washer fluid",
"Check coolant level") on the interior CAN.

The messages can be acknowledged with the OK button (S110s6) of the left multifunction steering wheel
button group (S110) of the multifunction steering wheel (MFL).

Switch status and messages


The coolant level indicator switch and the windshield washer fluid level indicator switch result in a total of the
following 4 switch combination options and the resultant requests in the multifunction display (A1p13):

 When the coolant level indicator switch is open and the windshield washer fluid level indicator switch is
open, there is no message in the multifunction display.
 When the coolant level indicator switch is open and the windshield washer fluid level indicator switch is
closed, a request to replenish the washer fluid appears in the multifunction display.
 When the coolant level indicator switch is closed and the windshield washer fluid level indicator switch is
open, a request to check the coolant level appears in the multifunction display.
 When the coolant level indicator switch is closed and the Windshield washer fluid level indicator switch
is closed, the requests to check the washer fluid and to check the coolant level appear alternately in the
multifunction display.

The COMAND display is a swiveling "8 -Thin Film Transistor (TFT) color screen" in 16:9 format with a
resolution of 800 x480 red, green and blue (RGB) pixels.

The "8 TFT color screen" enables a horizontal viewing angle of a maximum of ±80° and a vertical viewing
angle of a maximum of ±30°.

However, the quality of the display decreases as the viewing angle increases!

In addition 2 photosensors, for automatic brightness control and an electric motor for manual adjustment about
the vertical axis are integrated in the COMAND display.

Function

The displays and the menu display of the user-relevant operating/ information windows are conveyed from the
display and displayed there.

This is connected to the telematics CAN for control and diagnosis of the COMAND display.

The brightness is automatically controlled via the two photosensors integrated in the COMAND display. The
changeover between day and night design takes place via the COMAND controller unit. For this purpose the
COMAND controller unit reads in the Controller Area Network (data bus/CAN Bus) (CAN) messages of the
rain/light sensor (B38/2) via the central CAN from the central gateway control unit (N93). After evaluating the
CAN messages the COMAND controller unit transmits the corresponding signal to the COMAND display via
the LVDS connection.

The manual brightness control of the COMAND display and the adjustment of the COMAND display about the
vertical axis take place via the buttons of the COMAND display brightness control integrated in the cockpit
switch group (S6/2r2), COMAND display swivel left switch (S6/2s13) and the COMAND display swivel right
switch (S6/2s14). The COMAND display can be adjusted in the following 3 stages with the associated angles:

 1 = -10°
 2 = 0°
 3 = +10°

The cockpit switch group is read by the upper control panel control unit and the resulting CAN messages are
transmitted to the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit reads in these CAN messages and passes them
on to the COMAND controller unit via the central CAN. The COMAND controller unit reads in these CAN
messages and passes these on to the COMAND display via the telematics CAN.

Task

The SPLITVIEW display serves the uniform presentation of user-relevant operating and information windows
as well as the presentation of video picture information.

Moreover, the SPLITVIEW display makes possible the presentation of two different views at the same time.
This function enables the driver and front passenger to access video picture information or vehicle system
information at the same time and independently of each other (dual viewing mode). The SPLITVIEW display is
equipped with an infrared transmitter/receiver which makes it possible to actuate infrared headphones. The
SPLITVIEW display for the front passenger is operated via a remote control. A uniform picture can be output
via a mono output mode.

Caused by the design of the SPLITVIEW display the visual range of the driver (1) and visual range of the front
passenger (2) is defined in a fixed manner, an insufficient picture quality is possible in the section area (3) of
the visual ranges.

In order to prevent the SPLITVIEW display from overheating it is air-cooled by an internal blower motor. The
temperature of the SPLITVIEW display is kept below T = 85 °C during operation. The temperature of the
SPLITVIEW display is kept below T = 95 °C when the vehicle is at a standstill. Cooling is controlled internally.

FANFARE HORN SYSTEM, FUNCTION - GF54.35-P-0001LE

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of Model Year 09 /Modification year 08

General function requirements

 Circuit 15 On

The status of circuit 15 is transmitted by the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) via the interior CAN.

Fanfare horns general

The left fanfare horn (H2) and right fanfare horn (H2/1) are the audible warning system on the vehicle.

Function sequence - operate fanfare horns

The operation of the fanfare horns is requested by pressing fanfare horns buttons (S110s5, S111s5). The status
of the fanfare horn buttons is read in by the steering column tube module (N80) via the steering LIN.

The steering column tube module transmits the request on further to the central gateway control unit (N93) via
the interior CAN. The central gateway control unit transmits the request to the front SAM control unit with fuse
and relay module via the interior CAN (N10/1).

The front SAM control unit actuates the fanfare horns relay (N10/1kF). As a result of this the fanfare horns
relay switches through the power supply (circuit 30) to the fanfare horns.

The signal tone sounds as long as one of the fanfare buttons is pressed.

Function
The pressing of the fanfare horn system button is read in by the steering column module via the steering LIN
and passed on to the central gateway control unit via the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit passes
on the request to the front SAM control unit via the interior CAN.

The front SAM control unit actuates the fanfare horns via the fanfare horns relay.

The circuit status is transmitted by the EIS [EZS] control unit on the interior CAN.

1. Blow out oil ducts with compressed air.


2. Clean bearing points in cylinder crankcase upper section, main bearing cap or cylinder crankcase lower
section and main bearing journal on crankshaft with chamois leather.

If a bearing damage has occurred, it may be necessary to remove any swarf from the connecting rod
bores, oil ducts on the crankshaft as well as the crankcase! Do not use any hard objects for cleaning.

Assignment of the upper bearing shell halves to the basic journal of the crankshaft occurs via color
markings on the rear side of the upper bearing shell halves and numbers on the upper cylinder crankcase
(see picture).

Only the assigned letter and number combinations should be fitted together.

 First number "1": A bearing shell halve with the color coding blue must be inserted in the bearing
cap '1'.
 Second number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the
bearing cap '2'.
 Third number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the
bearing cap '3'.
 Fourth number "2": A bearing shell halve with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the
bearing cap '4'.
 Fifth number "1": A bearing shell halve with the color coding blue must be inserted in the bearing
cap '5'.

The bottom halves of the bearing shells (15) are assigned to the basic journal of the crankshaft by
means of the first letter of the respective color.

The color coding of the bottom halves of the bearing shells is located at the rear of the lower bearing shell
halves.

The initial letters of the particular colors are engraved on the journal of the crankshaft (15).

When installing the lower bearing shell halves the order of the colors engraved on the journal of the
crankshaft (15) must be observed.

Example: Assignment of the upper bearing shells halves

 Y = YELLOW
 R = RED
 Y = YELLOW
 R = RED
 Y = YELLOW

The bearing shells are marked on the side in color.

The upper crankcase section carried letters, which correspond to the sequence of the bearing shells (1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7) in the upper crankcase section. The bearing shells should be selected according to the letter
sequence (only shown in picture with "b"). Letters "g" and "r" may also be used. The following letters
require the following wheel offset code numbers of bearing shells (upper section):

b (blue) = wheel offset code number 52

g (yellow) = wheel offset code number 54

r (red) = wheel offset code number 56

1. Clean crankshaft bearing points in crankcase, crankshaft bearing cap and crankshaft journal for crankshaft
with a chamois leather.

The top crankshaft bearing shells are assigned to the crankcase by means of color codings (on the
reverse side of the crankshaft bearing shells) and numbers which are stamped on the crankcase (see
arrows).

Only assigned color and numerical combinations (see table) may be fitted together.

If a bearing damage has occurred, it may be necessary to remove any swarf from the connecting rod
bores, the crankshaft and crankcase oil galleries as well as the crankcase!

Do not use any hard objects for cleaning.

Blow through oil galleries in direction of flow oil with compressed air.

Assignment of the bottom crankshaft bearing shells to the crankshaft journal is by means of letters
(initial letter of the particular color).

The initial letters of the particular colors are engraved on the front journal of the crankshaft (arrow).
The color coding on the lower crankshaft bearing shell is located on its rear side.

When installing the crankshaft bearing shells, it is important to keep to the order of the colors
which is engraved on the crankshaft journal!

Arrow identifies direction of travel.

 First letter "b ": A crankshaft bearing shell with the color coding blue must be inserted in the
crankshaft bearing cap (1).
 Second letter "g ": A crankshaft bearing shell with the color coding yellow must be inserted in the
crankshaft bearing cap (2).
 Third letter "r ": A crankshaft bearing shell with the color coding red must be inserted in the

Altered crankshaft flange diameter

As of engine production date 06/10/08 crankshafts were installed whose crankshaft flange (3) had a diameter of
96 mm (it was previously a diameter of 93 mm).

During assembly of the end cover (2) (with a vulcanized crankshaft radial sealing ring (1)), it is therefore
necessary to use the insertion tool as mentioned.

HEAT LEFT/RIGHT OUTSIDE REARVIEW MIRRORS FUNCTION - GF88.79-P-2000LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 09 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 C. 61 ON (with automatic switch-on)


 On-board electrical system consumer shutoff not active

Heat left/right outside mirror, general

The outside mirror heater keeps the mirror glasses free of ice and fog.

The outside mirror heater is switched on automatically or manually.

Heat left/right outside mirror, function sequence

The heated outside mirror is automatically switched on and off dependent on the outside temperature and the
dew point temperature.

The outside temperature is sensed by the outside temperature indicator temperature sensor (B14) and relayed to
the front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1) which transmits the signal to the interior CAN.

The dew point temperature is sensed by the KLA multifunction sensor (B31/1) and relayed to the AAC control
unit (N22/1), which transmits the signal to the interior CAN.

The left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) and the right
front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221) or right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) read in the signals
and switch the outside mirror heater on or off.

The outside mirror heater is switched on when the vehicle engine is running if

 Outside temperature > or = Dew point temperature + 2 °C (programmable via STAR DIAGNOSIS)
 outside temperature < 15 °C

The outside mirror heater is switched off when the vehicle engine is running if

 Outside temperature > or = Dew point temperature + 5 °C (programmable via STAR DIAGNOSIS)
 Outside temperature > 16 °C=

If the dew point temperature value is implausible, the default value is used.
When the rear window heater is switched on and off, the outside mirror heater is also switched on and off.

A signal is transmitted to the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) by the upper control
panel control unit (N72/1) or AAC control unit and is placed on the interior CAN. The door control units read in
the signals and switch the outside mirror heater on and off.

Detailed information is given in the separate function description "Heated rear window (HSS)".

FOLD LEFT/RIGHT OUTSIDE MIRROR, FUNCTION - GF88.79-P-2002LE

MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 as of model year 09 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Mirror glass adjustment not active


 On-board electrical system consumer shutoff not active

Folding left/right outside mirror, general

The outside mirror housings can be folded in and out electrically in pairs. This can be done both automatically
as well as manually. If circuit 15R is switched off during an active housing adjustment, the housing adjustment
is nevertheless completed.

If a new housing adjustment request is recognized during an active housing adjustment, the housing adjustment
is directly switched to the opposite direction.

The fold left/right outside mirror function comprises the following subfunctions:

 Manual folding in/out, function sequence


 Automatic folding in/out, function sequence

Additional function requirements for manual folding in and out

 C. 15R On
 Vehicle speed v < 47 km/h

Manual folding in/out, function sequence

When the outside mirror fold-in/out switch (S20/1s9) in the driver outside mirror and trunk lid power window
switch group (S20/1) is pressed momentarily, the mirror housings folded in (garage position) or folded out
(driving position).

The corresponding adjustment request is read by the left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door
control unit (N69/1) (model 216) via the front door LIN.

The left door control unit takes over the master function during adjustment and relays the signals to the right
front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221) or right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) via the interior
CAN.

The left door control unit actuates the power folding mirror motor (M21/1m3) in the left electrically adjustable
and heated outside mirror (M21/1) and the right door control unit actuates the power folding mirror motor
(M21/2m3) in the right electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/2).

The mirror fold-in function is no longer possible at a vehicle speed of v > or = 47 km/h.

The instrument cluster (A1) transmits the vehicle speed signal via the central CAN to the central gateway
control unit (N93), which relays the signal to the left door control unit via the interior CAN.

Additional function requirements for automatic folding in and out

 C. 15C OFF
 Function in COMAND controller unit (A40/3) activated
 Mirror housing actuated last in folding out direction (with fold-in function)
 Mirror housing previously folded in automatically (with fold-out function)

Automatic folding in/out, function sequence


When the vehicle is locked using the central locking system (CL [ZV]) from the outside with the transmitter key
(A8/1), both mirror housings are folded in automatically.

The mirror housings are folded out again the next time the CL is unlocked and the driver or passenger door is
opened.

The status of the driver door is sensed by the left front rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 221) or right
rotary tumbler switch (A85s1) (model 216). The signal from the left rotary tumbler switch is read in by the left
door control unit.

The status of the passenger door is sensed by the right front rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1) (model 221) or
right rotary tumbler switch (A85/1s1) (model 216). The signal from the right rotary tumbler switch is read in by
the right door control unit.

If the mirror housings are still folded in with circuit 15R ON by a previous automatic folding-in procedure, the
mirror housings are folded out immediately.

If the mirror housings were folded in manually prior to that, the mirror housings are not actuated via the
automatic adjustment.

Manually folding-in/out, function

Function requirements

 C. 15R On
 No mirror lens adjustment active
 Speed signal < 47 km/h for folding in mirror housing

Function

When the outside mirror fold-in/out switch is switched momentarily, the mirror housings can be moved to the
garage position (folded in) or driving position (folded out). The corresponding adjustment request is read in by
the left door control unit via door LIN.

The left door control unit has the master function during adjustment and relays the signal to the right front door
control unit via the passenger compartment CAN-B bus.

The left door control unit actuates the mirror fold-in motor in the left outside mirror and the right door control
unit actuates the mirror fold-in motor in the right outside mirror.
If the function requirement c. 15R ON is not present after starting to fold in or out the adjustment is continued
until the end position is reached.

Automatically folding in/out, function

Function requirements

 Circuit 15C OFF


 Function in COMAND controller unit activated
 Mirror housing last actuated in folding out direction (when folding in)
 Mirror housing previously folded in automatically (when folding out)

Function

When the vehicle is locked with the central locking (CL) from outside with the transmitter key (A8/1), both
mirror housings are folded in automatically (garage position). The next time the vehicle is unlocked with the CL
and the driver or passenger door are opened, the mirror housings are returned to the previous position

If the mirror housings are still folded in with circuit 15R ON by a previous automatic folding-in procedure, the
mirror housings are folded out immediately.

If the mirror housings were manually adjusted to the garage position, the mirror housings are not adjusted via
the automatic adjustment

The master for this function is the left front door control unit, responsible for adjusting the left mirror housing
as well as for transmission of the corresponding signals to the right front door control unit via the interior CAN
to actuate the right outside mirror housing.

Abort conditions

Movement to the position is interrupted if:

 Active outside mirror lens adjustment


 Manual fold-in/out

After interruption, function is continued.

The park position is stored by the left front seat operation switch group (S22).

After momentarily pressing the memory switch (S22s6) and actuating the outside mirror adjustment selection
switch within t = 3 s to the passenger side position, the momentary outside mirror position is stored as park
position in the right door control unit.

Move to drive position function sequence

The right outside mirror is automatically returned to the original position, when:

 a forward gear is engaged and a time of approx. t = 10 s has elapsed or


 the vehicle speed is greater than t = 10 km/h or
 the outside mirror adjustment selection switch is switched to the driver mirror position.

The original mirror position is resumed, even when the right outside mirror has been moved to the park position
manually.

If the right outside mirror is located in the park position with circuit 15 Off, it is returned after t = 0.6 s when
circuit 15 is switched back on and the transmission is no longer shifted to reverse. If the reverse gear is
recognized with circuit 15 On, the mirror moves to the last park position set after 0.6 s.

MODEL 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08

MODEL 221.0 /1 with CODE (249) Automatically dimming inside rearview mirror and outside mirror
(driver) as of model year 09 /YoM 08

Function requirements

 Reverse gear not engaged


 Interior illumination not switched on

The reverse gear status is transmitted by the central gateway control unit (N93) to the interior CAN.

Automatically dimming outside mirror and inside rearview mirror, function sequence

The mirror glass of the inside rearview mirror (A67) and left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror
(M21/1) is electro-chromatically dimmable. This is realized by a layer of electrolyte gel in the mirror which
controls the light permeability in increments depending on the voltage applied.

The inside rearview mirror unit senses the ambient light via the mirror dimming sensor, forward (A67h1) and
the light hitting the mirror glass via the mirror dimming sensor, rearward (A67h2).

The inside rearview mirror evaluates these input variables and supplies dimming information to the overhead
control panel control unit (N70), which transmits the message for mirror dimming to the passenger
compartment CAN-B bus.

The left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) relays the
dimming information and transmits the corresponding actuation voltage to the mirror dimming circuit
(M21/1h1) in the left electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror.

The inside mirror dimming information is sent to the overhead control panel control unit, which supplies the
voltage to the inside rearview mirror dimming circuit.

If an interior lamp is switched on during mirror dimming or the reverse gear is engaged, the dimming is
interrupted.

Function requirements

 C. 15R On

Function

The mirror lens of the inside rearview mirror and left outside mirror can be dimmed electro-chromatically. This
is realized by a layer of electrolyte gel in the mirror which controls the light permeability in increments
depending on the voltage applied. The inside rearview mirror senses the ambient light via the front mirror
dimming sensor and the light hitting the surface of the mirror lens via the rear mirror dimming sensor.

The inside rearview mirror evaluates these input variables and supplies dimming information to the overhead
control panel control unit which transmits the message for mirror dimming to the passenger compartment CAN-
B bus.

The left door control unit relays the dimming information and supplies the corresponding actuation voltage to
the automatic dimming mirror of the left outside mirror. The dimming information for the inside rearview
mirror is taken over by the overhead control panel control unit, which supplies the voltage to the mirror
dimming of the inside rearview mirror.

If an interior lamp is switched on during mirror dimming or the reverse gear is engaged, the dimming is
interrupted.

 Mirror fold-in motor (M21/1m3, M21/2m3)
 Mirror heater (M21/1r1, M21/2r1)
 Left outside mirror ambient lamp (M21/1e1)
 Right outside mirror ambient lamp (M21/2e1)

mirror and outside mirror (driver) and on model 216)
 Left outside mirror turn signal lamp (E6/5)
 Right outside mirror turn signal lamp (E6/6)

On model 221 with code (275) Memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors) and on model 216,
the mirror adjustment motors are equipped with one potentiometer (M21/1r2, M21/1r3, M21/2r2, M21/2r3)
each for sensing the position of the mirror lens. The mirror fold-in motors are integrated firmly in the frame of
the corresponding mirror and cannot be replaced separately. The mirror adjustment motors are combined as
drive unit.

The mirror heater and the automatic dimming mirror are integrated directly into the mirror lens.

Automatic dimming mirror function

The mirror lens is electro-chromatically dimmable. This is realized by a layer of electrolyte gel in the mirror
which controls, in increments, the light transmission, depending on the voltage applied.

Actuation

All components are actuated directly by the

RELEASE PRESSURE IN PRESSURE RESERVOIR FOR HYDRAULIC POWER WINDOW IN


FRONT DOOR - AR72.10-P-1800-06SXS

When relieving the pressure in the pressure reservoir for the hydraulic power window on the front door,
ensure that the transmitter key is removed from the EIS control unit.

1. Open front door and remove emergency operation handle (1) from door lining.

The emergency operation handle (1) serves for manual actuation of the hydraulic valves in the block
valve (2) for lifting and lowering the crank window.
Fig. 38: Releasing Pressure In Pressure Reservoir

2. Attach emergency operation handle (1) to bottom valve actuation, pull upward and hold until crank
window is fully lowered.
3. Attach emergency operation handle (1) to upper valve actuation, pull down and hold until crank window
is fully rolled up.
4. Roll crank window up and down until it stops indicating that the pressure in the pressure reservoir is
completely relieved.

Rolling the crank window up and down causes the hydraulic oil to flow out of hydraulic reservoir
back into the power window hydraulic pump.

RELEASE PRESSURE IN PRESSURE RESERVOIR FOR HYDRAULIC POWER WINDOW IN


REAR DOOR - AR72.12-P-1810-06SXS

When relieving the pressure in the pressure reservoir for the hydraulic power window on the rear door,
ensure that the transmitter key is removed from the EIS control unit.

1. Open rear door and remove emergency operation handle (1) from door lining.

The emergency operation handle (1) serves for manual actuation of the hydraulic valves in the block
valve (2) for lifting and lowering the crank window.
Fig. 107: Releasing Pressure In Pressure Reservoir
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

2. Attach emergency operation handle (1) to bottom valve actuation, pull upward and hold until crank
window is fully lowered.
3. Attach emergency operation handle (1) to upper valve actuation, pull down and hold until crank window
is fully rolled up.
4. Roll crank window up and down until it stops indicating that the pressure in the pressure reservoir is
completely relieved.

Rolling the crank window up and down causes the hydraulic oil to flow out of hydraulic reservoir
back into the power window hydraulic pump.

In model 414 the battery must be disconnected for the tests. Otherwise the electrical system may be
damaged.

If possibly, perform test on remaining vehicles with battery installed and connected. Do not connect tester to
jump start or charging terminal point, always connect it directly with the battery.

Battery tester gotis://E_15/54_02.0

All test steps and entries must be performed thoroughly, otherwise the test result will be distorted.

Test prerequisites:

 Tester with software release 2.0


 Ignition off
 Rotary light switch in position "0"
 Audio component (e.g. radio) switched off
 Battery voltage higher than 12.4 V
 Good contact of the tester on the battery
If the message "Surface voltage" is displayed during the test, the tester has detected that the battery voltage is
apparently too high. This increased voltage can be reduced as follows:

 Battery installed: Decrease increased voltage as per the specifications of the tester (e.g. switch on driving
lights).
 Battery removed: reduce increased voltage using a suitable volt/amp(s) tester (load battery for approx. 60
s with 20 A to 30 A amps).

As an example, the test procedure for passenger cars is described below.

1. Clip tester (1) on to battery.

Once the tester is connected the current measured battery voltage is displayed for approx. 2 s. If a so-
called "System noise" is detected by the tester, check whether all consumers are switched off and wait
(for approx. 2 min), until the quiescent current is minimized and the bus systems are switched off.

Function

The Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) is a component of the navigation system.

ETC was developed in order to simplify payments for toll roads. The electronic toll collection (ETC) antenna
and the electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit are installed in the vehicle for this purpose. An electronic
toll collection (ETC) antenna is used by the electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit to communicate with
the toll collection center and it automatically processes all payment modalities, without the driver having to stop
the vehicle. For automatic payment a special ETC card must be inserted into the electronic toll collection (ETC)
control unit. All information concerning the user and the fees that have already been paid are stored on this
card. The electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit is connected in the vehicle over an RS-232C interface to
the COMAND controller unit.

The ETC system also has voice output and visual output (pop-ups).

The voice output is:

 ETC card read error


 ETC card not accepted
 ETC card reader error
 ETC gate communication error
 Detailed information about previous fee payments (if the UP or RPT button is pressed)

The pop-ups on the COMAND display are:

 COMAND controller unit booted and no ETC card inserted ("Please insert ETC card into ETC unit, when
using ETC")
 COMAND controller unit booted and ETC card inserted ("ETC is available. Please eject ETC card from
ETC unit, when you leave the vehicle for security.")
 Approaching a fee payment station (e.g. "ETC gate on left side is permitted.")
 Positive feedback from fee payment station ("Passing OK, Fee: xx.xx Yen")
 Negative feedback (no authorization) ("Please Stop")

ETC card must be inserted into the electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit. All information concerning the
user and the fees that have already been paid are stored on this card. At the vehicle side, the electronic toll
collection (ETC) control unit is connected via an RS-232C interface to the COMAND controller unit. The ETC
also has voice output and visual output (pop-ups).

The voice output is:

 ETC card read error


 ETC card not accepted
 ETC card reader error
 ETC gate communication error
 Detailed information on the last fee payments (menu, navigation system, navigation system menu, ETC
history)
 ETC card not inserted

The multifunction steering wheel (MFL), in combination with the multifunction display (A1p13) of the
instrument cluster (A1), serves to enhance active driving safety in road traffic. The driver can concentrate on the
traffic without distraction when controlling and operating various vehicle components. The MFL allows the
driver to operate and call up the systems and their submenus: The number of menus is dependent on the vehicle
equipment level. e. :

 Cellular telephone
 Audio
 Navigation
 Vehicle and setting configuration
 Fault and warning messages (if applicable)
 Tire pressure monitor

The selected system is displayed in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster.

The fanfare horns are operated via the impact plate of the multifunction steering wheel.

When changing to another system, the start screen of the selected system is always displayed and not the
submenu last selected in this system.

Left multifunction steering wheel button group

The left multifunction steering wheel button group contains the system selection button (S110s3), OK button
(S110s6) and the scroll forward/back button (S110s1). Each of the systems can be called with the system
selection button. It is possible here to "scroll" forward and backward from system to system. It is also possible
to "scroll" forward and backward with the scroll forward and backward button within a system, i.e. additional
submenus can be called up. The OK button can be used to accept the selection.

Right multifunction steering wheel button group

The right multifunction steering wheel button group contains the accept/terminate phone call button (S111s3),
and the buttons + and - for setting of specific functions and volume control (S111s1). A telephone call can be
accepted or terminated with the accept/ terminate phone call button.

The buttons + and - for setting specific functions and volume control can be used to adjust the volume of the
currently active system.

VCS [SBS] on button

The VCS [SBS] on button can be used to activate the voice control system (VCS [SBS]). An acoustic signal is
emitted after activation has taken place.

"Back" and SBS off button

The "Back" and SBS off button is used to deactivate the voice control system.
Signal transmission

The signals are read in via the steering LIN by the steering column module (N80) and transferred to the chassis
CAN.

Steering wheel gear shift

The following functions are possible using the left steering wheel gear shifter and right steering wheel gear
shifter:

 Preselection of shift range.


 Shifting into a gear from which the vehicle can be easily accelerated or decelerated.
 Direct shifting of all forward gears.

Transfer of shift signals

The left steering wheel gear shifter and right steering wheel gear shifter are read in via the steering LIN by the
steering column module. The steering column module transfers the "Upshift" or "Shift down" signal to the
chassis CAN. The ETC [EGS] control unit (N15/3) actuates the gear change.

Gear shifts which would lead to impermissibly high or low motor speeds are not carried out.

MODEL 221 up to 31.5.09 with CODE (864) Rear entertainment system with CODE 863 Digital/analog
TV tuner as of model year 2009 /YoM 08

Function requirements, general

 Circuit 30g ON and telematics CAN (CAN A) for t = 10 min active (a vehicle door is opened)

Rear entertainment TV reception general

The TV combination tuner (analog/digital) (A90/1) (with code (863) Digital/analog TV tuner) provides all the
customary playback options familiar from the predecessor model series. The interface is generated by the DVD
player (A40/4) in the "TV" menu and shown on the screen of the left rear display (A40/5) or right rear display
(A40/6).

The TV application and the relevant settings (brightness, contrast and color) can be called up and modified
using the controls on the RCP (HBF) control unit (N72/2):

 Right screen button (N72/2s4)


 Left screen button (N72/2s5)
 Right "Back" button (N72/2s6)
 Left "Back" button (N72/2s7)
 Rear rotary pushbutton (N72/2s8)

The signals for the listed controls on the RCP (HBF) control unit are read in by the RCP (HBF) control unit and
sent over the telematics CAN to the DVD player. The additional settings using the respective buttons on the rear
display are also sent over the telematics CAN to the DVD player.

When the left rear display is switched on, the TV application can only be run on the left rear display.

When the right rear display is switched on, the TV application can only be run on the right rear display.

When the left rear display and right rear display are switched on, the TV application can be called up on both
rear displays. Only when operating the TV application through the RCP (HBF) control unit does the left screen
button or the right screen button need to be used to select the corresponding display.

The "Rear entertainment TV reception" function consists of the following subfunctions:

 Selection of TV channel function sequence


 Function sequence for settings in "TV" menu on rear display
 Transmission of audio and picture signals function sequence

Selection of TV channel function sequence

The TV channel is chosen through the COMAND controller unit (A40/3) and the front central operating unit
(A40/9). The screen button is used to activate the menu on the rear display screen. The user can select the "TV"
menu with the aid of the front central operating unit and then the desired TV channel through the COMAND
display (A40/8).

The TV combination tuner receives the TV signals from the TV antennas 1 to 4 in the rear window over the
following path:

 Direct lines
 Rear window antenna amplifier module (A2/12)
 Direct lines

The front central operating unit sends the control signals over the telematics CAN to the COMAND controller
unit. The COMAND controller unit evaluates them, generates the picture signals for the interface on the
COMAND display and sends them over a low voltage differential signal (LVDS) line to the COMAND display.
The COMAND controller unit also sends the control signals of the front central operating unit over the Media
Oriented System Transport (MOST) to the TV combination tuner.

The TV combination tuner then sends, on the one hand, the signals of the received and selected TV channel
over a direct line to the COMAND controller unit and, on the other hand, the analog audio signals over a stereo
line and the analog picture signals over a Y-brightness (luminance)/C-color information (chrominance) (Y/C)
line to the DVD player.
The DVD player forwards the analog audio and picture signals over a low voltage differential signaling line to
the respective display. The user interface is displayed on the screen of the respective rear display.

Function sequence for settings in "TV" menu on rear display

The DVD player generates the interface for the "TV" menu item on the rear display screen. With the aid of the
listed controls on the RCP (HBF) control unit the following menu in the function bar can be used to change the
relevant settings:

 "TV":
 Settings ("Brightness", "Contrast", "Color", "16:9 optimized", "4:3" or "Wide screen")

The following setting can also be made:

 Data storage device is inserted into the DVD drive of the DVD player (A40/4) or the COMAND
controller unit (A40/3)

Rear entertainment disc applications, general

The following video or audio sources are available to the rear passengers in the "Disc" basic function: DVD
player or COMAND controller unit

 Video DVD
 Audio CD or DVD
 MP3-CD or DVD

After inserting a CD/DVD into the DVD player's drive, the video or audio source is automatically recognized
and started. Depending on the video or audio source, the corresponding screen in the "Disc" basic function is
shown on the left rear display (A40/5) or the right rear display (A40/6). The rear passengers can now view or
hear the video or audio source inserted into the DVD drive of the DVD player on the rear display. The menus
and their submenus are displayed on the screen of the rear display.

Furthermore, the rear entertainment system also permits access to video or audio sources of the COMAND
controller unit, and alternatively it is also possible for the driver and the front passenger to select video or audio
sources of the DVD player. The disk applications are operated using the remote control.

The control signals are transmitted via the infrared (IR) interface of the remote control to the respective IR
interface of the rear display or the SPLITVIEW display (A40/10) (with code (867) SPLITVIEW). The controls
of the COMAND controller unit are also available to the driver.

Rear entertainment disk applications, function sequence

The DVD drive integrated in the DVD player decodes the digital data of the inserted audio or video source and
passes this data on internally to the DVD player. The DVD player generates the analog audio and video signals
from the digital data. The audio signals are then transmitted to the appropriate rear display via a stereo line. On
receiving the analog picture signals from the DVD player via the Y-brightness (luminance)/C-color information
(chrominance) (Y/ C) line, the respective rear display generates the digital picture signals for the corresponding
screen. The digital picture signals are displayed via the rear display.
Due to the large number of available data storage devices, it is impossible to guarantee that the rear
entertainment system can play back a burned CD/DVD.

CD/DVD videos conforming to the "PAL" or "NTSC" standard which fulfill the following conditions can be
played back as standard:

 "Region code 2" (for Europe)


 "Region code 0" (no region code)

On vehicles without code (494) USA version, the rear entertainment system is factory-set to "Region code 2".
The country-specific coding is performed using the IS tester.

After receiving the analog audio signals via the stereo line from the DVD player or from the COMAND
controller unit, the respective rear display generates the analog IR signals or radio signals (as of 1.9.10). These
are transmitted via the IR interface of the respective rear display to the display and the IR interface (up to
31.8.10) or radio interface (as of 1.9.10) of the respective connected headphones to these (cordless).
Alternatively, it is possible to output the audio signals via the vehicle's speaker system. The audio signals are
output at the volume set at the COMAND controller unit. For this, the signals are sent by the COMAND
controller unit via Media Oriented System Transport (MOST) to the audio tuner control unit (N93/1) or to the
digital sound processor (A2/69) (as of 1.9.10 with code (811) Advanced sound system). The audio signals are

 Video or audio devices are connected to the AUX jack of the left rear display (A40/5), right rear display
(A40/6), DVD player (A40/4) or to the COMAND controller unit

Rear entertainment AUX applications, general

The AUX jack on the DVD player, on a rear display or on the COMAND controller unit can be used to connect
external audio or video equipment (e.g. portable MP3 player or games console) to the rear entertainment
system.

The rear entertainment AUX applications are then operated using the remote control. The control signals are
transmitted over the infrared (IR) interfaces in accordance with the desired AUX source to the following
components:

 SPLITVIEW display (A40/10) (with code (867) SPLITVIEW)


 Left rear display
 Right rear display

The control signals are transmitted via the telematics CAN to the component that is to be operated using the
remote control.

If an audio source is connected, the background (headphones picture) remains and the source is played back (no
automatic recognition!). If a video source is connected, this is automatically recognized and the background
disappears and the video source is played back. As soon as it has been detected, this is indicated in the "Aux"
menu on the active rear display.

The audio and video units are operated at the units themselves. The received data is displayed graphically on the
active rear display.

From the received data, the rear display or the DVD player generates analog or digital audio signals and digital
picture signals for display on the rear display.

If the external audio or video unit is not connected to a rear display, the analog picture signals are passed on to
the rear display via the following path.

For COMAND controller unit AUX source:

The emergency call system control unit is used to implement current and future vehicle-related services. The
vehicle-related services currently supported are:

 Telematic Alarm Identification on Demand (emergency call system) (TELE AID) (incl. police emergency
call number "911") manual/automatic
 MB information call
 Telediagnosis/roadside assistance
 Tracking (dynamic assignment)
 Remote Door Unlock (vehicle remote door locking)
 Remote Door Lock (vehicle remote door unlocking)
 Authorization

The emergency call system control unit is not used for regular telephone calls.

All vehicle-related services are integrated in the emergency call system control unit and they run fully
automatically.

The information is shown in the COMAND display and in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument
cluster. As position finding is required for the vehicle-related services, the navigation unit integrated in the
emergency call system control unit is used. The navigation unit is a global positioning system (GPS) receiver in
the emergency call system control unit, which allows precise position finding. The position and direction of
travel of the vehicle are determined automatically and provided in the form of a history. The navigation unit
receives its GPS data over the antenna splitter from the telephone and GPS roof antenna (on model 221) or from
the telephone and GPS antenna (A2/49) (on model 216). The communication unit is a cellular phone that was
adjusted to the American cellular mobile telephone network and is only used to process the telematics functions.
The communication unit transmits and receives its data over the telephone and GPS roof antenna (on model
221) or over the telephone and GPS antenna (on model 216). A prerequisite for using the vehicle-related
services, however, is a communication module of the emergency call system control unit that is authorized for
the respective vehicle-related service.

Function requirements

Each vehicle-related service must be authorized separately. In the event of a defect or missing authorization, a
fault message appears in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster and in the COMAND display.

Self-test

After activation of circuit 15R, the emergency call system control unit performs a self-test (for approx. 3.5 s). If
the self-test is successful, the TELE AID is operational. If a fault is detected, the multifunction display of the
instrument cluster shows a corresponding fault message.

Basic functions

The TELE AID offers of the following basic functions:


 Performs cyclic self-diagnosis
 Keeps vehicle data available and transmits them securely in case of requirement
 Transmits data messages (via SMS, not with Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS))
 Placing telephone calls in hands-free mode

Emergency call system

In the event that the driver has an emergency in a remote area, a Customer Assistance Center (CAC) technician
can use a voice connection to obtain an overview of the situation in the vehicle interior with the aid of the
emergency call system control unit and initiate the appropriate emergency measures (automatic emergency
call). It is also always possible to transmit a manual emergency call by actuating the SOS pushbutton switch in
the overhead control panel control unit. The TELE AID is activated in 2 different ways:

 Automatically, in the event of a crash (through the crash data of the supplemental restraint system (SRS))
 Manually by actuating the SOS pushbutton switch in the overhead control panel control unit

In both cases, an emergency message is transmitted immediately to the closest emergency center. Contents of
the emergency call message are:

 vehicle position, direction of travel and history


 vehicle data and crash detection (severity of the accident)
 customer data of the emergency service provider

Authorization

A prerequisite for using the vehicle-related services is a communication module of the emergency call system
control unit that is authorized for the respective vehicle-related service. In other words, the communication
module of the emergency call system control unit must have been configured ex factory with the telephone
number of the corresponding service provider.

Subsequently, the user has to authorize himself in the CAC with this call number. The authorization can already
be done, in part, at the factory. The vehicle-related services are activated by pressing the corresponding button
in the MB-Info and telediagnosis button group or for a manual emergency call by pressing the SOS pushbutton
switch in the overhead control panel control unit.

After activation, the emergency call system control unit sends an SMS to the CAC. Once the SMS is sent (not
with AMPS), a voice connection is immediately established to the CAC.

Misuse of emergency call alarm is subject to punishment!

Terminating the emergency call

Usually, the emergency service center deactivates the emergency call.

After several unsuccessful attempts to establish a connection, the emergency call system control unit stops
trying to establish an emergency call.

MODEL 221 with CODE (359) TELE AID emergency call system as of model year 09/YoM 08

Function requirements

 Circuit 30 or Circuit 15R


 Emergency call system authorized and operating properly
 Each vehicle-related service is authorized separately
 An emergency call system control unit (N123/4) communication module authorized for the corresponding
vehicle-related service is configured ex-factory with the telephone number of the corresponding service
provider
 The customer is registered and authorized at the service center
 One mobile phone network is available in sufficient strength and quality

Self-test

After activation of circuit 15R, the emergency call system control unit performs a self-test (for approx. t = 3.5
s). If the self-test is successful, the emergency call system is then ready for operation.

If a fault occurs, depending on the type of fault a fault message appears in the instrument cluster (A1), and
the red light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the SOS push button (S93/3), the MB info button (S93/6s1) and the
telediagnosis button (S93/6s2) are permanently actuated. Depending on the fault type, the fault is also stored in
the emergency call system control unit's memory.

General

The emergency call system control unit enables the following vehicle-related services to be realized:

 Authorization
 Emergency call (E-Call) manual or automatic, including police emergency call number "911"
 MB-Info call
 Breakdown assistance (Roadside Assistance)
 Vehicle tracking
 Vehicle remote door unlock
 Vehicle remote door lock

The emergency call system control unit is not used for regular telephone calls.

The emergency call system consists of the following subfunctions which are described in separate documents:

 Voice connection between vehicle and service center


 MB information call
 Display of emergency call system status
 Manual or automatic emergency call
 Data from restrain systems control unit
 Vehicle remote unlocking
 Vehicle remote locking
 Vehicle tracking
 Roadside assistance
 Position finding
 Telephone antenna selection

Prioritization
All listed vehicle-related services run automatically in the emergency call system control unit. The emergency
call system control unit has a priority management feature to ensure that it does not have to manage several
vehicle-related services at the same time. This determines the point at which a vehicle-related service is to be
activated and which vehicle-related service has a higher priority. Depending on which vehicle-related service is
to be activated, the emergency call system control unit releases resources in accordance with the priority list and
activates the vehicle-related service or refuses activation because a vehicle-related service with a higher priority
is already active. Automatically completing an emergency call has the highest priority.

Actuation

The telediagnosis call can be triggered by pressing the telediagnosis button (with a wrench symbol on it)
(S93/6s2) in the MB-Info and telediagnosis button group (S93/6). Pressing the telediagnosis button for longer
than 0.5 s activates the telediagnosis call. Activation of the telediagnosis call is indicated by the light emitting
diode (LED) integrated in the telediagnosis button flashing on and off. Regardless of the request, the
telediagnosis button is read in by the emergency call system control unit (N123/4) over a discrete line. The
emergency call system control unit automatically sets up a voice connection to the Customer Assistance Center
(CAC).

Telediagnosis call (roadside assistance call)

When the telediagnosis button is pressed, an SMS (not with Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS)) is
automatically sent to the CAC. Data, which are automatically transmitted in the event of a telediagnosis, are:

 Vehicle position
 Customer identification data
 Vehicle identification data
 Condition data
 Fault code

Transmitting a telediagnosis telegram

In the event of a service call (telediagnosis), active telephone connections are interrupted. The emergency call
system control unit transmits an SMS (not with AMPS) to the closest CAC and establishes a telephone
connection to the CAC.

General

The MB-Info call function enables the customer to call up information on Mercedes-Benz brand products as
well as further voice-based services (e.g. hotel booking).

This vehicle-related service is primarily an oral information service that is provided via the communications
module integrated into the emergency call system control unit.

The MB-Info function consists of the two following subfunctions:

 MB-Info call function sequence


 Function sequence for remote destination feed or points of interest (POI)

MB-Info call function sequence

The MB-Info button is read in by the emergency call system control unit over a discrete line. The emergency
call system control unit then completes a voice connection to the service center. After the service center replies
with a special tone, the emergency call system control unit automatically sends an SMS with the following data
to the service center over the integrated communication module:

 Vehicle position
 Customer identification data
 Vehicle identification data
The communication module integrated into the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the
mobile phone signals or data via the following route:

 Direct line
 Frequency switchover control unit (N96), model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with
universal interface, USA/Canada
 Emergency call antenna (A2/52), model 216
 Telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), model 221

The emergency call antenna is integrated in the GPS antenna (A2/49a2) in model 216.

As long as the MB-Info call is active, the light emitting diode (LED) integrated into the MB-Info button
flashes. This is also indicated in the instrument cluster (A1) and on the COMAND display (A40/8).

In the event of an MB-Info call, other vehicle-related services (e.g. vehicle remote door unlock) are
interrupted.

If the telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221, or the emergency call antenna, model 216, fails (e.g.
malfunction caused by rollover) the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the mobile radio
signals and data via the following route in order to transfer mobile radio signals and mobile radio data:

 Direct line
 Emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25)
 Direct line
 Emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54)
 Emergency call system right backup antenna (A2/55)

Function sequence for remote destination feed or points of interest (POI)

During an MB-Info call, for example, the address of a hotel can be loaded into the navigation module in the
COMAND controller unit (A40/3).

The service center transmits the address of the hotel by means of mobile phone signals or data to the COMAND
control unit via the following route:

 Emergency call antenna, model 216


 Telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221
 Frequency switchover control unit, model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with
universal interface, USA/Canada
 Direct line
 Emergency call system control unit
 Diagnostic CAN
 Central gateway control unit (N93)
 Central CAN

The customer confirms receipt of the hotel address and can then start the navigation.

Detailed information on starting the navigation is given in the specific system description for the
COMAND controller unit.

The displays for remote destination feed or points of interest (POI) are shown by the emergency call system
control unit on the display of the COMAND controller unit via the following route:

 Diagnostic CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Central CAN
 COMAND controller unit
 Low voltage differential signal (LVDS) line

Actuation

The MB-Info call can be triggered by pressing the MB-Info and telediagnosis button (S93/6s1) (symbol is the
letter "i") in the MB-Info and telediagnosis button group (S93/6). The system is activated by pressing the MB-
Info-call button for longer than 0.5 s. Activation of the MB-Info call is indicated by the light emitting diode
(LED) integrated in the MB-Info call button flashing on and off. Regardless of the request, the MB-Info button
is read in by the emergency call system control unit (N123/4) over a discrete line. The emergency call system
control unit automatically sets up a voice connection to the Customer Assistance Center (CAC).

Generating an MB-Info call telegram


The service is activated by the user by actuating the MB-Info button. Once the service is authorized and no
service with higher priority is active, the emergency call system control unit sends an SMS (not with Advanced
Mobile Phone System (AMPS)) to the CAC. The SMS contains the following data:

 Vehicle position
 Customer identification data
 Vehicle identification data

Transmitting an MB-Info call telegram

In the event of a service call (MB-Info call), any currently active telephone connections are interrupted. The
emergency call system control unit transmits an SMS (not with AMPS) to the closest CAC and establishes a
telephone connection to the CAC.

The state display in the SOS pushbutton switch (S93/3) serves for checking the function of the Telematic Alarm
Identification on Demand (emergency call system) (TELE AID).

Switch-on characteristics

Every time TELE AID is switched on, the state display of the SOS pushbutton switch comes on for 4 s and thus
signals TELE AID readiness. If there is no fault, the state display of the SOS pushbutton switch goes out after 4
s.

Fault behavior

A TELE AID error is present if the state display of the SOS pushbutton does not go out 4 s after switching on or
if it comes on at a later time. In the event of a fault, a fault message appears in the multifunction display
(A1p13) of the instrument cluster (A1).

Triggering a TELE AID telediagnosis

When a TELE AID telediagnosis has been triggered, the state display of the SOS pushbutton flashes at a
frequency of approx. 1 Hz. In addition, a state message appears in the multifunction display of the instrument
cluster and in the COMAND display (A40/8). If it was not possible to carry out TELE AID telediagnosis, the
state display of the SOS pushbutton switch is illuminated without interruption. Furthermore, a fault message
appears in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster. When a voice connection is established, the state
display of the SOS pushbutton switch returns to the status it was in before a TELE AID telediagnosis was
triggered. A status message appears in the instrument cluster of the multifunction display and in the COMAND
display.

If the TELE AID is in diagnostic mode, the state display of the SOS pushbutton switch also starts to flash
on and off.

Continuous illumination of the state display of the SOS pushbutton switch can have the following causes:

 Power supply too low


 No or wrong subscriber identification module (SIM) card installed
 Communication with restraint system control unit (N2/7) interrupted
 Communication error with the ESP control unit (N47-5)
 Error in SOS pushbutton switch
 Error in Global Positioning System (GPS) antenna system
 Reception interference (emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54), emergency call system right
backup antenna (A2/55) or telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) (on model 221) or telephone and
GPS antenna (A2/49) (on model 216)
 Vehicle is not authorized or is in the progress of authorization
 Memory fault in emergency call system control unit (N123/4)
 Personal Identification Number (PIN) has not been stored in the emergency call system control unit by
the user or at the factory
 Integrated telephone components in emergency call system control unit faulty

The emergency call system control unit can be coded using STAR DIAGNOSIS so that despite missing
authorization neither the state displays of the SOS pushbutton switch light up, nor the corresponding messages
are shown in the instrument cluster of the multifunction display and in the COMAND display. Deactivation of
the status display must be confirmed by the customer to the dealer, in writing, on a preprinted form.

State displays

Actuation

In the event that the driver has an emergency in a remote area, a Customer Assistance Center (CAC) technician
can use the data received (SMS and a voice connection) from the emergency call system control unit (N123/4)
to obtain an overview of the situation in the vehicle interior and then initiate the appropriate emergency
measures. A Telematic Alarm Identification on Demand (emergency call system) (TELE AID) emergency call
can be initiated automatically or manually.

Manual emergency call

A manual emergency call can be made at any time. A manual emergency call is triggered by actuating the SOS
pushbutton switch (S93/3) labeled with "SOS". It is integrated into the overhead control panel control unit
(N70).

The SOS pushbutton switch is read in by the emergency call system control unit over a discreet line. To
manually trigger an emergency call, the SOS pushbutton switch has to be actuated for more than 0.5 s. The red
light emitting diode (LED) in the SOS pushbutton switch flashes on and off for the duration of the emergency
call. After this, an emergency call message is sent immediately to the nearest emergency call center.

automatic alarm call


An automatic emergency call is possible after "circuit 15R ON". A vehicle crash is automatically detected by
the restraint systems control unit (N2/7). The emergency call system control unit receives the crash information
as a digital crash signal from the restraint systems control unit via a discrete line, and additionally (redundantly)
via the interior CAN. In the event of an accident, an emergency call is automatically sent out immediately.

An emergency call is sent out regardless of the severity of the accident. In the event of a crash triggering, the
red LED in the SOS pushbutton switch flashes on and off for the duration of the emergency call. The user can
now get in contact with the emergency call center by telephone. After the conversation is completed, the
connection is deactivated by the emergency call center. The emergency call system control unit deactivates the
emergency call request both for a manual and an automatic emergency call after several unsuccessful attempts.

It is only permissible to trigger a TELE AID emergency call in case of an emergency; violations are a
punishable offense.

Generating an emergency call telegram

In the event of an emergency call, all the data for an emergency call telegram are compiled by the emergency
call system control unit. The following data are automatically transmitted as an SMS (not with Advanced
Mobile Phone System (AMPS)) in the event of an emergency telegram:

 Subscriber identification module (SIM) data


 Phone number
 Type of deployment (manual or automatic emergency call)
 Vehicle data (e.g. circuit status)
 Crash information (severity of accident), only for an automatic emergency call
 Vehicle position and history
 Direction of travel and speed

Transmitting an emergency call telegram

In the event of an emergency call, in addition to active telephone connections, active service calls (MB-Info or
telediagnosis) are also interrupted. The emergency call system control unit transmits an emergency call telegram
to the closest emergency call center and then establishes a telephone connection to the emergency call center. If
the emergency call was started automatically and the connection to the emergency call center was not possible,
a telephone connection is automatically established to the police emergency phone number "911". In this case,
no emergency call data are transmitted. The emergency call data must then be communicated verbally. This
process can be configured for manual calls.

The TELE AID must be authorized for transmission of an emergency call telegram.

General

The vehicle remote door unlock function allows customers to have the vehicle unlocked remotely when the
have locked the transmitter key (A8/1), for example, and a 2nd transmitter key is not available.

Function sequence

Actuation of the tailgate external operation switch is received by the emergency call system control unit via the
following route:

 Direct line
 Rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2)
 Interior CAN
 Central gateway control unit (N93)
 Diagnostic CAN

The emergency call system control unit then automatically transmits an SMS with the following data to the
service center, via the communication module integrated into emergency call system control unit:

 Vehicle identification number (FIN)


 Vehicle model

The communication module integrated into the emergency call system control unit transmits the mobile phone
signals or data via the following route:

 Direct line
 Frequency switchover control unit (N96), model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with
universal interface, USA/Canada
 Emergency call antenna (A2/52), model 216
 Telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), model 221

The emergency call antenna is integrated in the GPS antenna (A2/49a2) in model 216.

The service center compares the data sent with the request and customer legitimization and if the data matches a
"vehicle remote door unlock request" is sent to the vehicle. the communication module integrated into the
emergency call system control unit receives the "Vehicle remote door unlock request" and the mobile phone
signals or data over the following via the following route:

 Emergency call antenna, model 216


 Telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221
 Frequency switchover control unit, model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with
universal interface, USA/Canada
 Direct line

After receiving the "Vehicle remote door unlock request", the emergency call system control unit transfers the
request to the EIS control unit via the following route:

 Diagnostic CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Chassis CAN

The EIS [EZS] control unit then initiates the unlocking of all vehicle doors and the unlocking of the trunk lid.

If the "Vehicle remote door unlock request" is refused by the service center because, for example, the trunk
lid external operation switch was not actuated at the time agreed on or legitimization was incorrect, the vehicle
remote door unlock function is disabled for t = 15 min.

The execution of the vehicle remote door unlock is displayed by a message in the instrument cluster (A1).
Moreover, the red light-emitting diode (LED) in the SOS pushbutton switch (S93/3) flashes.

In the event of vehicle remote door unlock, other vehicle-related services (e.g. MB-Info call) are
interrupted.

If the telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221, or the emergency call antenna, model 216, fails (e.g.
malfunction caused by rollover) the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the mobile radio
signals and data via the following route in order to transfer mobile radio signals and mobile radio data:
 Direct line
 Emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25)
 Direct line
 Emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54)
 Emergency call system right backup antenna (A2/55)

The maximum period of time between actuation of the trunk lid external operation switch and unlocking
all vehicle doors and unlocking the trunk lid is t = 5 min (normally t = 1 min).

General

The vehicle remote door unlock function is a vehicle-related service of the Telematic Alarm Identification on
Demand (emergency call system) (TELE AID) system. If the transmitter key (A8/1) was locked in the vehicle
and no 2nd transmitter key is available, the service provider can remotely unlock the vehicle. The following
function requirements must be met:

 C. 30 ON
 The TELE AID has been authorized by the service provider
 A cellular mobile telephone network in adequate quality is available
 To activate the service, the customer needs the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and the vehicle
model

How to proceed
The customer contacts the service provider via telephone. The Customer Assistance Center (CAC) technician
then requires the user name and PIN, which were assigned during authorization of the TELE AID, as well as the
vehicle model to be able to check the authorization for vehicle remote door unlocking. Once the CAC employee
has checked the request, the driver has to return to the vehicle and operate the trunk lid external operation
switch (S88/8) for at least 15 s. The emergency call system control unit (N123/4) establishes a telephone
connection to the service provider. The CAC employee compares the request of the vehicle with the customer
request that was made over the phone. If the data match, the CAC employee enables the function with the
corresponding "Remote Door Unlock" message, which is transmitted to the vehicle. The vehicle is unlocked.

Function sequence

Operation of the trunk lid external operation switch is read in by the rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay
module (N10/2) and forwarded via the interior CAN to the central gateway control unit (N93). The central
gateway control unit forwards the "Trunk lid external operation switch" message via the diagnostic CAN to the
emergency call system control unit. The emergency call system control unit establishes a telephone connection
to the service provider after receiving the "Trunk lid external operation switch operated" message. Depending
on the mobile phone network quality, the phone connection is established over the frequency switchover control
unit (N96) and, for model 221, over the telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) or, for model 216, over the
telephone and GPS antenna (A2/49) or over the emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25) and over the
emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54) as well as the emergency call system right backup antenna
(A2/55).

The CAC employee checks whether the customer has made a request over the phone and whether the
corresponding authorization is present and transmits the corresponding "Remote Door Unlock" message to the
vehicle. The emergency call system control unit transmits the message received to the central gateway control
unit via the diagnostic CAN. The central gateway control unit transmits the message via the chassis CAN to the
EIS control unit (N73), which initiates the unlocking of the vehicle. Once the customer has opened a vehicle
door, he/she can confirm with the CAC employee using the voice connection that still exists that the remote
door unlocking of the vehicle has been successful. Following this, the connection is terminated by the CAC
employee.

 Central gateway control unit (N93)
 Chassis CAN

The EIS [EZS] control unit then checks whether the locking of all vehicle doors and the locking of the trunk lid
is possible. If it is possible to lock all the vehicle doors and the trunk lid, then the EIS [EZS] control unit
initiates the locking of all the vehicle doors and the locking of the trunk lid. If not, feedback is sent to the
service center in the same way as for the "vehicle remote door lock request".

If the vehicle doors and the trunk lid have been locked, feedback is also sent to the service center via the same
route as the "vehicle remote door lock request".

After receiving the feedback, the CAC notifies the customer of the vehicle remote locking result (locked: yes or
no) via the phone call which is still active.

If the telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221, or the emergency call antenna, model 216, fails (e.g.
malfunction caused by rollover) the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the mobile radio
signals and data via the following route in order to transfer mobile radio signals and mobile radio data:

 Direct line
 Emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25)
 Direct line
 Emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54)
 Emergency call system right backup antenna (A2/55)

General

The vehicle remote locking function is part of the Telematic Alarm Identification on Demand (emergency call
system) (TELE AID). The customer has forgotten to lock the vehicle. The customer can initiate the remote
vehicle locking via the service provider. The following function requirements must be met:

 C. 30 ON
 The TELE AID has been authorized by the service provider
 A cellular mobile telephone network in adequate quality is available
 To activate the service, the customer requires the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and the vehicle
model

How to proceed

The customer contacts the service provider via telephone. The Customer Assistance Center (CAC) technician
then requires the user name and PIN, which were assigned during authorization of the TELE AID, as well as the
vehicle model to be able to check the authorization for vehicle remote locking. The CAC employee transmits
the "Remote Door Lock" message to the vehicle. The vehicle checks the request and transmits a message to the
service provider that contains the information whether or not it was possible to lock the vehicle. Then the CAC
employee informs the customer of the result.

Function sequence

The CAC employee checks the customer request made over the phone and transmits the Remote Door Lock
request (vehicle remote door locking) to the vehicle. The emergency call system control unit (N123/4) receives
the "Remote Door Lock" message depending on the mobile phone network quality over the frequency
switchover control unit (N96) and, for model 221, over the telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49) or, for
model 216, over the telephone and GPS antenna (A2/49) or over the emergency call system antenna splitter
(A2/25) and over the emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54) as well as the emergency call system
right backup antenna (A2/55), and forwards this message over the diagnostic CAN to the central gateway
control unit (N93).

The central gateway control unit transmits the request to the EIS control unit (N73) via the chassis CAN. The
EIS control unit checks whether the vehicle can be locked and transmits the result to the central gateway control
unit. The central gateway control unit forwards the result to the emergency call system control unit. The
emergency call system control unit transmits the result to the service provider via the cellular mobile telephone
network. Then the CAC employee informs the customer of the result.

Function requirements for vehicle theft telephone message from customer to police and then to service
center

 Customer has been notified about the activation of the ATA [EDW] alarm by the service center
 Customer notices that vehicle has been stolen

Function sequence for vehicle theft telephone message from customer to police and then to service center

If the customer has been informed by the service center that his vehicle has been stolen or if the customer
himself notices that the vehicle has been stolen, it is first necessary for the customer to report the theft to the
police. The customer receives a special number from the police, which confirms that the vehicle theft has been
reported.

With this special number, the customer can report to the service center, by telephone, and give this special
number to the employee there. The service center checks the request and legitimation (authorization) of the
customer.

"Tracking" function requirements

 Vehicle reported as stolen by customer, by telephone, to police and then to service center as well as
legitimation (authorization) by service center
 An emergency call system control unit communication module authorized for the corresponding vehicle-
related service is configured ex-factory with the telephone number of the corresponding service provider
 A higher-priority vehicle-related service is not active

General

In the event that a driver is confronted with an emergency situation in a remote location, a service center
employee can obtain an overview of the situation inside the vehicle with the aid of the data received from the
emergency call system control unit (voice connection and SMS) and initiate the action required for help. An
emergency call be triggered manually or automatically. The objectives of these emergency calls are:

 Automatic alerting of the rescue services after an accident


 Alerting of rescue workings at the press of a button (own emergency situation, observed accident)
 Reduction of rescue times through fast emergency notification with details on exact location involved

The emergency call function consists of the following subfunctions:


 Function sequence for initiating manual emergency call
 Function sequence for initiating automatic emergency call
 Function sequence for transmission of emergency call data and communication with the service
center

Function requirements for initiating manual emergency call

 Circuit 30
 Triggering a manual emergency call by pressing the SOS push button (S93/3) > 0.5 s
 A higher-priority vehicle-related service is not active

Function sequence for initiating manual emergency call

The emergency call system control unit reads in the SOS pushbutton switch directly via a discrete line.

Function requirements for initiating automatic emergency call

 Circuit 15R
 Triggering an automatic emergency call by the crash signal and receiving the crash level from the
restrain systems control unit

Function sequence for initiating automatic emergency call

The emergency call system control unit receives the crash signal from the restraint systems control unit
via a discrete line. Simultaneously. the emergency call system control unit receives the crash signal
(redundant) and the crash level from the restrain systems control unit via the following route:

 Chassis CAN
 Central gateway control unit (N93)
 Diagnostic CAN

Function sequence for transmission of emergency call data and communication with the service
center

After a manual or automatic emergency call has been triggered, the emergency call system control unit
completes a voice connection to the service center.

After the service center replies with a special tone, the emergency call system control unit automatically
sends an SMS with the following data to the service center over the integrated communication module:

 Vehicle position, direction of ravel and history


 Vehicle data and crash analysis (accident severity)

The communication module integrated into the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives
the mobile phone signals or data via the following route:

 - Direct line
 Frequency switchover control unit (N96), model 221 with code (389) Mobile phone preinstallation
with universal interface, USA/Canada, and direct line
 Emergency call antenna (A2/52), model 216
 Telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), model 221

The emergency call antenna is integrated in the GPS antenna (A2/49a2) in model 216.

If connection to the service center cannot be established when an automatic emergency call is
triggered, a voice connection is automatically set up using the emergency number "911" and it is then
necessary to communicate the listed data verbally.

When a manual or automatic emergency call is active, this status is indicated by the two red light-
emitting diodes (LED), integrated into the SOS pushbutton switch, flashing. This is also indicated in the
instrument cluster (A1) and on the COMAND display (A40/8).

In the event of a manual or automatic emergency call, other vehicle-related services (e.g. MB-Info
call) are interrupted.

If the telephone and GPS roof antenna, model 221, or the emergency call antenna, model 216, fails
(e.g. malfunction caused by rollover) the emergency call system control unit transmits and receives the
mobile radio signals and data via the following route in order to transfer mobile radio signals and mobile
radio data:

 Direct line
 Emergency call system antenna splitter (A2/25)
 Direct line
 Emergency call system left backup antenna (A2/54)
 Emergency call system right backup antenna (A2/55)

General

For the Global Positioning System (GPS) position finding, the emergency call system control unit requires the
satellite-supported GPS. It is available worldwide. The GPS satellites permanently transmit time and position
data (longitude and latitude). GPS position finding is irretrievable after vehicle transport (e.g. by train or ferry
or after towing). Relocating with GPS (after interruption of satellite reception) may require several minutes (up
to 20 min when emergency call system control unit is commissioned). Basic position finding runs parallel to
GPS position finding. The position finding function consists of the following subfunctions:

 Function sequence for GPS position finding


 Basic position finding function sequence

GPS position finding function requirements

 Status "Circuit 15R ON" or one of the following vehicle-related services actuated:
 Emergency call (E-Call) manual or automatic, including police emergency call number "911"

 MB-Info call

 Breakdown assistance (Roadside Assistance)

 Vehicle tracking

 No fault in GPS antenna systems and signals from at least 3 GPS satellites

Function sequence for GPS position finding

The GPS receiver that is integrated in the emergency call system control unit receives the GPS signals from the
GPS antenna (A2/49a2), model 216, or the telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), model 221, via the
following route:

 Direct line
 Antenna splitter (A2/5)
 Direct line
The GPS signals are used by the emergency call system control unit to calculate the current vehicle position
(receiver). In addition, the vehicle's direction of travel is determined with the aid of the sequence of the
locations calculated with GPS.

Basic position finding function requirements

 Status "Circuit 15R ON"

Basic position finding function sequence

For basic position finding, the emergency call control unit requires the following information:

 Wheel speed signals


 Distance traveled data
 Direction of travel data (forwards or backwards)

The wheel speed signals are detected by the following RPM sensors:

 Left front RPM sensor (L6/1)


 Right front RPM sensor (L6/2)
 Left rear RPM sensor (L6/3)
 Right rear RPM sensor (L6/4)

The wheel speed signals from the RPM sensors are received by the emergency call system control unit via the
following route:

 Direct line
 ESP control unit
 Chassis CAN
 Central gateway control unit (N93)
 Diagnostic CAN

The distance traveled data from the instrument cluster (A1) is received by the emergency call system control
unit via the following route:

 Central CAN
 Central gateway control unit
 Diagnostic CAN

The emergency call system control unit receives the data on the direction of travel (forwards or backwards)
from the central gateway control unit over the diagnostic CAN. After this the emergency call system control
unit uses the distance traveled, the vehicle alignment and the direction of travel to calculate the vehicle position
(degree of longitude and degree of latitude) at any given time.
Error during position finding

Basic position finding is falsified when a vehicle rolls backwards with "circuit 15 OFF" (ignition switched off)
or if it is transported somewhere. In both instances, the deviation is automatically corrected by the navigation
processor integrated into the emergency call system control unit when it receives GPS data.

If an accident occurs, the emergency call system control unit (N123/4) automatically generates an emergency
call telegram containing the vehicle position data and transmits the telegram over the cellular telephone system
of the vehicle. The emergency call signal reaches the service provider. With the equipment there, the exact
position of the vehicle is determined using the position data. The vehicle position data are determined in parallel
with 2 methods which complement each other. The methods are known as Global Positioning System (GPS)
position finding and basic position finding.

GPS position finding

The GPS is a satellite-assisted localizing system that has been set up by the American Ministry of Defense. It is
free and available worldwide.

The GPS satellites permanently transmit time and position data (longitude and latitude). GPS position finding is
irreplaceable for journeys outside the digitized map area and after vehicle transport (e.g. by train or ferry or
after towing). Relocating with GPS (after interruption of satellite reception) may require several minutes (up to
20 min when emergency call system control unit is commissioned). The processor and receiver unit for the GPS
are integrated into the emergency call system control unit. If signals from at least 3 satellites are received on
model 221 over the telephone and GPS roof antenna (A2/49), or on model 216 over the telephone and GPS
antenna (A2/49), it is possible to calculate the position and the accuracy of position finding of the receiver
(vehicle). In addition, the vehicle's direction of travel is determined with the aid of the sequence of the locations
calculated with GPS.

Basic location finding


For basic position finding, which runs in parallel to the GPS position finding, the emergency call system control
unit requires the following information:

 The signals processed by the ESP control unit (N47-5) from the left front RPM sensor (L6/1), right front
RPM sensor (L6/2), left rear RPM sensor (L6/3) and right rear RPM sensor (L6/4) are sent to the central
gateway control unit (N93) over the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit receives the message
and transmits it over the diagnostic CAN to the emergency call system control unit.
 The data of the turn rate sensor (gyro sensor) integrated in the emergency call system control unit (the
emergency call system control unit uses these data to calculate the vehicle orientation (compass
direction)).
 The data on the direction of travel (forward or reverse).

The basic position finding is performed continuously by the emergency call system control unit with "circuit
15R ON". The current vehicle position (longitude/latitude) is calculated from the traveled distance under
consideration of the vehicle orientation and direction of travel.

Errors with basic position finding

Rolling backwards with "circuit 15 OFF" (ignition switched off) or a transport of the vehicle can falsify the
position finding. In both cases, when GPS data are received, the deviation is automatically corrected by the
navigation processor integrated into the emergency call system control unit.

Tracking (dynamic assignment)

Tracking is used e.g. to be able to track stolen vehicles.

Actuation

To track the vehicle, the function has to be activated first. The following possibilities exist to do this:

 Customer reports the theft


 The anti-theft alarm system (ATA) is active for more than 30 s

The difference in procedures only lies in how tracking is activated.

Reporting a theft (over the phone)

The customer calls the service provider and reports the theft of the vehicle. Next, the customer has to prove
his/her identity. This is accomplished with the user name and the Personal Identification Number (PIN) of the
customer. If the service provider has determined that the message has been received from a proper customer
then the function is activated by telephone.

To do so, the service provider transmits an initiation command to the vehicle. The vehicle receives the message
on model 221 over the telephone and GPS roof antenna and on model 216 over the telephone and GPS antenna
and forwards the message to the emergency call system control unit.
The emergency call system control unit activates the locating calculation, which is performed with the aid of the
satellite signals that are received on model 221 over the telephone and GPS roof antenna and on model 216 over
the telephone and GPS antenna. Next, the emergency call system control unit cyclically transmits the position
data to the service provider. The service provider forwards the location of the vehicle to the command staff (e.g.
police). The command staff can activate the hands-free system and decide, whether to eavesdrop or talk to the
driver.

ATA (automatic)

If the ATA is triggered and is active for more than 30 s, the emergency call system control unit establishes a
voice connection to the command staff. The emergency call system control unit activates the locating
calculation, which is performed with the aid of the satellite signals that are received on model 221 over the
telephone and GPS roof antenna and on model 216 over the telephone and GPS antenna.

Following this, the emergency call system control unit sends the position data cyclically to the service provider
on model 221 over the telephone and GPS roof antenna and on model 216 over the telephone and GPS antenna.
The service provider forwards the location of the vehicle to the command staff (e.g. police).

Tracking can only be deactivated by the service provider.

A vehicle crash is automatically detected by the restraint systems control unit. The emergency call system
control unit receives the crash information as a digital crash signal from the restraint systems control unit via a
discrete line, and additionally (redundantly) via the chassis CAN from the central gateway control unit. In the
event of an accident, an emergency call is automatically sent out immediately. An emergency call is sent out
regardless of the severity of the accident.

Error messages
The restraint systems control unit sends a signal every 500 ms. This indicates to the emergency call system
control unit that the crash recognition feature is operating properly.

The restraint systems control unit performs a self-test cyclically. Any lighting of the red light emitting diode
(LED) in the SOS pushbutton switch (S93/3) in normal mode indicates a fault in the Telematic Alarm
Identification on Demand (emergency call system) (TELE AID). The corresponding error message is then
shown on the COMAND display (A40/8) and in the multifunction display (A1p13) of the instrument cluster
(A1). The red LED in the SOS pushbutton switch is illuminated until circuit 15 is switched off or the fault has
been rectified. The SOS pushbutton switch is monitored. A stuck SOS pushbutton switch is detected. The fault
signal is ignored and TELE AID remains operational.

Function

In the park position, electric current flows through the control resistor installed in the SOS pushbutton switch
(parallel to switch contact). When current is flowing through the resistor, the emergency call system control unit
(N123/4) knows that the voltage supply line and the ground line are functioning properly. When pressing the
SOS pushbutton switch, the control resistor is bridged by a switch contact. The SOS pushbutton switch is read
in by the emergency call system control unit over a discreet line. When the SOS button is pressed, a manual
emergency call is recognized by the emergency call system control unit and then transmitted.

Engine Cooling System - General Information - S-Class (221)

GENERAL INFORMATION
NOTES ON COOLANT - AH20.00-N-2080-01A

All engines

Coolant composition

Passenger car and commercial vehicle engines (normally): 50% water by volume and 50%
anticorrosion/antifreeze agent by volume.

Different coolant composition for CV engines, refer to MB Specifications for Operating Fluids .

Tasks of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent

 Corrosion and cavitation protection for all components in cooling system

 Antifreeze protection (frost protection)


 Increase the boiling point so that coolant does not evaporate so rapidly. Avoiding ejection of coolant at
high coolant temperatures.

Antifreeze protection

50% anticorrosion/antifreeze agent by volume provides antifreeze protection down to approx. -37°C. A higher
concentration is only necessary if the ambient temperatures are even lower. 55% anticorrosion/antifreeze agent
by volume provides antifreeze protection down to approx. -45°C.

A concentration of more than 55% anticorrosion/antifreeze agent by volume should not be used as the
maximum antifreeze protection is already reached at this concentration. An even higher concentration once
reduces antifreeze protection and impairs heat dissipation. Reduced heat dissipation can result in damage to
components of the cooling system and to the engine.

Water

Use water which is clean and not too hard. Drinking water often satisfies requirements, but not always The
amount of dissolved substances in the water may be of significance for the occurrence of corrosion. If in doubt,
analyze the water.

For fresh water specifications refer to MB Specifications for Operating Fluids.

Period of use
The maximum permissible period of use of the coolant is given in the maintenance booklet, the applicable
"Service/Maintenance Sheet" or the MB-Specifications for Operating Fluids.

For the period of use for a varying coolant composition for CV engines, refer to MB Specifications for
Operating Fluids.

Before pouring in fresh coolant, flush the used coolant out of the cooling system. In the case of severe
fouling by dirt or oil, clean the cooling system otherwise components of the cooling system can be damaged.

If the drained coolant is reused, it is essential that the coolant be filtered before it is filled into the cooling
system. No dirt particles may enter the cooling system, otherwise components of the cooling system may be
damaged.

Disposing of coolants

Observe the legal provisions and local waste water regulations. The following brochures are available about
disposing of waste products in auto repair trade for the location Federal Republic of Germany:

5. Attach feed hose (4) of coolant to coolant container (4a)

To avoid suctioning in of air put at least 2 l more coolant in the coolant reservoir (4a) than the
maximum filling capacity of the cooling system.

6. Guide waste air hose (5) into an empty container (5a).


7. Connect compressed-air hose (6) to venturi nozzle (9) and apply pressure.

The overpressure in the compressed air supply must be at least about 8 bar so that sufficient
vacuum can be generated through the Venturi nozzle (9).
8. Open drain valve (8).

A vacuum is created in cooling system.

9. Open feed valve (7) until feed hose (4) has filled with coolant.
10. Close drain valve (8) if display of the control unit (3) is in the green area.
11. Detach compressed air hose (6) from the venturi nozzle (9) and monitor whether vacuum remains stable
for 30 seconds.

If this is not the case, check hoses and connections and if necessary, repair and create a new
vacuum.

12. Open feed valve (7).

The cooling system is filled.

13. Open drain valve (8) if coolant is no longer suctioned.


14. Remove control unit (3) along with all connections and test cap (2).
15. Fill coolant up to bottom edge of filler neck of coolant expansion reservoir (1).
16. Screw cooling system closure cap (10) onto coolant expansion reservoir (1).

PREPARE THE LOW TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT FOR THE BLEEDING PROCESS - AR20.00-P-
1145-02R

1. Connect the connections (A, B) to the service connections of the charge air cooler.

Fig. 22: Identifying Charge Air Cooler Connections


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
2. Close all the valves (C, D, H, HA, O, P) on the control unit, the Y-fitting and the vacuum box.

Fig. 23: Identifying Valves On Control Unit, Y-Fitting And Vacuum Box
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

All the connections described in steps 3 to 5 will be maintained throughout the bleeding process.
Interchanging the hoses (E, J, S) will damage the bleeding devices.

3. Connect the coolant feed (J) to connection (N).


4. Connect the coolant drain (E) to connection (F).
5. Lay down the waste air hose (S) in the receptacle.

6. Connect the control unit (5) to the test connection - connection (L) to the test connection.
7. Connect the venturi nozzle (6) to the control unit (5) - connection (U) to connection (T).
8. Connect the compressed air (Z) to the venturi nozzle (6) - compressed air (Z) to connection (M).

An audible air discharge is normal.


9. Generate a vacuum in the control unit (5) - open valve (P).
10. By regulating the valve (O) (arrow), draw in the coolant up to the control unit (5) by suction. Then again
close valve (O).

Fig. 26: Identifying Control Unit And Valve


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

11. Test the low temperature circuit for leaks - close valve (P).

The unchanged display (arrow) of the pressure gauge shows that the vacuum has been
maintained, thereby indicating the leak tightness of the low temperature circuit.

12. Detach the venturi nozzle (6) from the control unit (5).

The display of the pressure gauge (arrow) must continue to show a vacuum even after the
preparatory tasks have been completed.

1. Connect venturi nozzle (6) with vacuum box (1) connection (U) to connection (G).
2. Generate vacuum in vacuum box (1) - open valve (H).

3.1 Model 215, 220, 230, 240:

Actuate circulation pump for low-temperature circuit. Switch on switch on relay slot.

3.2 Model 216, 221:

Actuate circulation pump for low temperature circuit via STAR DIAGNOSIS.

4 Generate vacuum in low temperature circuit - open valves (C, D) and wait for 15 seconds.
5 Start venting process - open valve (O) for at least 5 minutes.
The air in the coolant is removed by flushing the low temperature circuit.

6 Observe coolant flow in the area of the Y-fitting (arrow) during the flushing process. If the coolant is
flowing free of bubbles after 5 minutes then the low temperature circuit has been bled.

Fig. 30: Flushing Low Temperature Circuit

7 Stop coolant flow by first closing valve (O), switching off the switch for the circulation pump, actuating
STAR DIAGNOSIS and then closing valves (C, D).
8 Remove vacuum - disconnect compressed air (Z) from venturi nozzle (6) connection (M).
9 Decouple connection (L) to test cap.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
RISK OF INJURY TO SKIN AND EYES SUFFERING SCALDING FROM CONTACT WITH HOT
COOLANT SPRAY. RISK OF POISONING FROM SWALLOWING COOLANT. - AS20.00-Z-0001-
01A

Do not open cooling system unless coolant temperature is below 90 °C. Open cap slowly and release the
pressure. Do not pour coolant into beverage bottles.

Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection.

Possible hazards

Risk of injury

When the engine is warm, the cooling system is pressurized. If the cooling system is opened suddenly, there is a
risk of scalding from hot coolant which splashes out.

Danger of poisoning
If coolant is swallowed, this can result in manifestations of poisoning such as headaches, dizziness, stomach
pain, respiratory paralysis, unconsciousness, vomiting and cramps.

Safety precautions/instructions

 Allow cooling system to cool down to a coolant temperature of less than 90 °C.
 Open cap of cooling system slowly; turn a conventional coolant cap as far as the first detent and turn a
screwed coolant cap approx. 1/ 2 turn and release the pressure.

Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection. Do not pour coolant into beverage bottles.

First aid measures

 Rinse affected skin with large quantities of cold water and cover with sterile bandages.
 Allow the person affected to drink plenty of water with the addition of medicinal charcoal.
 If the person has suffered severe burns or has swallowed coolant, contact a doctor.

Location

Fig. 85: Identifying Two-Disk Thermostat And Two-Disk Thermostat Heating Element
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The heating element is located on two-disk thermostat housing.

Task

The heating element regulates the engine coolant temperature within the range from approx. 85°C to 105°C.
From a coolant temperature of about 105°C the coolant thermostat opens independently of actuation (limp-
home function).

By regulating the coolant temperature the following benefits result:


 Operating temperature is reached faster
 Reducing exhaust gas emissions
 Improved heat comfort.

Function

Actuation of the heating element takes via a PWM signal (pulse width modulated signal) from the ME-SFI
[ME] control unit (N3/10). The voltage is supplied through "terminal 87 M2e".

The open cross-section of the two-disk thermostat is determined via the duty cycle (frequency of the PWM
signal).

The limp-home function ensures that the two-disk thermostat is completely opened above around 105 °C,
irrespective of actuation.

Function of two-disk thermostat, schematic

NOTES ON AVOIDING DAMAGE TO IGNITION SYSTEM - AH15.10-P-0002-01D

Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120, 156, 271, 272 with ME-SFI gasoline injection and ignition system

 To avoid damage to control unit, only connect and disconnect the two connectors on control unit when
ignition is switched off.
 Terminal 1 of ignition coils must not be short-circuited to GND, e.g. as antitheft protection.
 Only install original ignition system components.
 Do not operate ignition system at starting speed unless all of the ignition cables are connected.
 No tests such as holding ignition cable 4 at a distance to GND, unplugging a spark plug connector or
pulling cable 4 out of the ignition coils, may be performed at starting speed or when the engine is
running.
 Every high voltage circuit must be loaded with at least 2 k ohms (spark plug connector).
 If it is necessary to test the ignition spark when providing roadside assistance, this must only be done with
a spark plug at a cylinder ignition cable. Ensure that spark plug has good contact to ground.
 Before working at cranking speed, e.g. checking compression pressure, switch off ignition and disconnect
connector "2" from control unit.

Engine 120 has two injection / ignition systems.

Use of testing units

 Only connect and disconnect secondary measuring sensor to corresponding ignition cables when vertical
engine and ignition are switched off.
 If the short-circuit protection is operated (cylinder comparison) and the engine stays upright, it is not
possible to conduct the test with this test instrument.
 Do not connect test lamp to ignition coil terminals 1 and 15.

INFORMATION ON AVOIDING DAMAGE TO IGNITION SYSTEM - AH15.10-P-0002-01L

Engine 137, 275, 285

Engine 137, 275, 285 with ignition system ECI

It is not possible to test the ignition sparks for example during a roadside assistance on this ignition system.

It is only possible to determine faults in the ignition system through read out of diagnostic trouble code memory
by means of STAR DIAGNOSIS.

The separation of electrical connectors at components of ignition system can only take place after switching off
the ignition.

To avoid damage, the ignition must not be switched on without ground supply at power supply unit ECI (N91).
A sufficient ground supply can only be assured, if the power supply unit ECI (N91) is bolted to the intake
manifold (1).

 Before disconnecting the connector (R) at the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10), turn the key in the
ignition switch (EIS [EZS] control unit) to the "0" position.
 Disconnect the battery before disconnecting the connector (L) at the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10).
 Only install original ignition system components.

 Do not run the ignition system without fully connected lines or without the spark plug connector (a).
 Do not disconnect the connectors at the ignition coils (T1/1 to T1/8) at starting speed or when the engine
is running.
 Do not take off the ignition coils (T1/1 to T1/8) from the spark plugs at starting speed or when the engine
is running.
 Before working at starting speed, for example, check the compression pressure, turn the key in the EIS
[EZS] control unit to the "0" position.

RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY CONTACT WITH PARTS CONDUCTING HIGH VOLTAGES. -


AS15.10-Z-0001-01A

Do not touch parts which conduct high voltages. Persons who wear electronic implants (e.g. heart
pacemakers) should never perform any work on the ignition system

Risk of death caused by high voltages in the ignition system

Electronic ignition systems operate within a hazardous power range both at the low voltage side (primary
circuit) as well as on the high voltage side (secondary circuit). Contacts with such parts can result in burns,
heart flutter or cardiac arrest.

Fig. 62: High Voltages Caution


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Safety instructions/precautions

 Persons with heart pacemakers must not perform any work on the ignition system.
 Switch ignition off before commencing any work on the ignition system.
 Do not touch or dismantle components of ignition system when working on running or rotating engine
with cranking speed.
 Wear safety shoes (with rubber soles).
 Detach the crankshaft position sensor connection either at the control unit or at the position sensor.
 Do not install any electrically conducting, uninsulated adapters or installation sensors into the ignition
cable.

First aid measures

 Switch off current, bring injured person to safety.


 Immediately notify an emergency physician.
 Perform mouth to mouth respiration, if necessary.
 Perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, if necessary.

RISK OF DEATH CAUSED BY COMING INTO CONTACT WITH HIGH-VOLTAGE PARTS


ALTHOUGH IGNITION IS TURNED OFF. - AS15.15-Z-0001-01A
After ignition is turned OFF, only disconnect the plug on the ECI power pack after first waiting for 3
minutes.

Fig. 63: ECI Ignition System Power Pack Connector Assignment


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

 After ignition is OFF there is still a voltage of more than 48 V at plugs 9 and 16 on the ECI ignition
system power pack. Remove plug from ECI power pack unit only after first waiting for 3 minutes. The
voltage is then no longer dangerous because the capacitor has had time to discharge.
 For safety reasons the 180 V may only be measured with the corresponding insulated measuring
equipment and lines.

On each cylinder, a spark plug is inserted from the top of the cylinder head to centrally in the combustion
chamber.

Task

The spark plugs ignite the suctioned and compressed fuel-air mixture due to arcing between the electrodes.

Function

The ignition voltage flows from the ignition lines of the directly plugged in ignition coils to the spark plugs and
causes arcing in the air gap between the central electrode and ground electrode.

All the spark plug characteristics are defined by the type symbols provided by the manufacturer (e.g. heat
rating, seat shape, thread, width across flats, electrode material, spark position).

A dedicated ignition coil is plugged straight onto the spark plug (R4) for each cylinder.

Task

The ignition coils provide sufficient ignition energy under all operating conditions for the respective ignition
circuit.

Design (ignition coil with integrated output stage)

Fig. 67: Design Of Ignition Coil With Integrated Output Stage


Function

An output stage is located in each ignition coil for the ignition coil primary circuit. The ME-SFI control unit
(N3/10) actuates the ignition coil primary circuit between connection (2) and (4). The current flow in the
primary coil (P) causes a magnetic field to form. The dwell angle control determines the operating time of the
ignition coil primary circuit and thus the magnetic saturation of the ferrous core of the ignition coil.

The primary current flow is interrupted at the moment of ignition timing point. The sudden collapse of the
magnetic field generates the ignition voltage in the secondary coil (S), which is fed directly to the spark plugs
(R4).

The diode (D) is fitted to suppress an additional ignition spark when the primary current is switched on.

Because of the diode it is not possible to measure the resistance of the secondary coil.

For diagnosis of the ignition coils, the primary current is measured. The capacitive tap is used to connect
measuring equipment.

Function

An output stage is located in each ignition coil for the primary circuit. The ME control unit actuated the ignition
coil primary circuit between terminals 2 and 4. The current flow in the primary coil (L1) causes a magnetic field
to form. The dwell angle control determines the operating time of the ignition coil primary circuit and thus the
magnetic saturation of the ferrous core of the ignition coil.

The primary current flow is interrupted at the moment of ignition timing point. The sudden collapse of the
magnetic field generates the ignition voltage in the secondary coil (L2) which is fed directly to the spark plugs.

The voltage supply of the ignition coils is protected at circuit 87 M1

A diode is integrated in each ignition coil for suppressing additional ignition sparks when the output stage is
switched off.

Because of the diodes, it is not possible to measure the resistance in the secondary windings. For diagnosis
of the ignition coils, the primary current is measured. The capacitive tap is used to connect measuring
equipment.

Fig. 75: ME-SFI Ignition System Function Diagram

When the crankshaft is rotating, an alternating voltage is generated in the crankshaft position sensor by the teeth
of the drive plate.

During this operation, each tooth generates an alternating voltage signal. No voltage is generated as a result of
the gap created by 2 missing teeth. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit detects the TDC position of cylinders 1 and 7
via the 2nd negative signal edge after the gap:

If the signal from the camshaft Hall sensor of the respective cylinder bank is at 0 V ("Low") at this moment, the
ME-SFI [ME] control unit processes this to detect ignition TDC for cylinder 1 and, with the ME-SFI 2.7.1,
additionally for cylinder 7. This is used to actuate the ignition modules and the fuel injection valves.

The high voltage distribution is performed statically and directly from the ECI ignition modules to the spark
plugs.

1. Determining the ignition angle in line with the input signals and actuating the ECI ignition modules

For determining the ignition angle, the ME-SFI control unit essentially analyzes the signals of the
following sensors:
 Pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator (engine load)
 Crankshaft position sensor
 Camshaft Hall sensor
 Coolant temperature sensor
 Charge air temperature sensor

The ME-SFI [ME] control unit actuates the output stages in the ECI ignition modules. The output stages
generate the high voltage from an AC voltage for each spark plug.

The ignition angles can be checked using the DAS.

2. Ignition angle adaptations

2.1 Catalytic converter heating up (warming-up phase)

The ignition angle is continuously retarded for about 20 seconds in order to warm up the catalytic
converter more rapidly to its operating temperature, if:

 coolant temperature at start > 15°C and < 40°C


 Selector lever position P or N

At the same time idle speed is increased by the idle speed control.

2.2 No-load speed

To assist idle speed control, the ignition angle can be retarded briefly by as much as 36° crank angle or
advanced by as much as 20° crank angle.

The control by altering the ignition angle reacts more rapidly than altering the position of the throttle
valve (idle speed control).

2.3 Deceleration fuel shutoff

When combustion is restored (actuation of the fuel injectors), the ignition angle is briefly retarded in
order to prevent a sudden increase in torque.

2.4 Overheating and pinging protection

The ignition angle is retarded under load, as a function of the charge air temperature and coolant
temperature, in order to prevent any knocking tendency at high charge air and coolant temperatures.

2.5 Transmission overload protection

In order to protect the shift elements of the automatic transmission from excessive thermal stresses during
powershifts (1-2-1, 2-3-2), the ignition angle is briefly retarded during the gearshift and the engine torque
is thus reduced. The ME-SFI [ME] control unit is supplied with a signal from the ETC [EGS] control unit
for this purpose via the CAN.

2.6 ESP control mode

In order to reduce the engine torque as rapidly as possible in the ESP/ASR control mode, the ignition
angle is retarded by the throttle valve actuator (opening angle reduced) before the commencement of the
control cycle. The information flows from the ESP/ASR control unit over the CAN data bus to the ME-
SFI control unit.

2.7 Anti-knock control (AKC)

If uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs at one or several cylinders, the ignition angle at the
relevant cylinder or cylinders is "retarded".

2.8 Smooth engine running analysis

To restrain the three way catalytic converter from thermal overload through combustion misfiring and in
order to keep the exhaust emission values, the smooth operation of the engine is continuously monitored.

If combustion misfiring is identified at one or several cylinders, the corresponding fuel injection valves
are no longer actuated after a certain number of combustion misfires.

Detection of combustion misfires is performed through a smooth running analysis and at high RPM, in
addition through the evaluation of the ion current. The size of the ion current is detected by the ECI
ignition module and is transmitted to the ME-SFI control unit.

2.9 Double ignition

Two spark plugs for each cylinder are beneficial on the basis of the valve arrangement for achieving
optimal exhaust emission levels and smooth engine running.

Each spark plug is actuated via its own ignition coil in the ECI ignition modules separately by the ME-
SFI control unit.

In the lower part load range up to approx. 2000 RPM both ignition sparks of a cylinder are triggered
simultaneously. At medium and high loads, ignition is offset by up to 10° crank angle.

The order of actuation is constantly varied in this case in order to ensure uniform wear of both spark plugs and
to avoid deposits on one side of the combustion chamber. The signals for ignition circuit change and ignition
offset are transmitted by the ME-SFI control unit to the respective ECI ignition module.

 Idle speed control
 Overheating / knock protection
 Deceleration fuel shutoff
 Transmission overload protection (with automatic transmission 722.9)
 Anti-knock control [AKC]

Fig. 79: Anti-Knock Control Function Diagram

The task of the anti-knock control AKC is to ensure knock-free operation of the engine with different fuels and
in all operating conditions from idling speed up to maximum engine speed.

For this purpose, if uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs, the ignition angle at the relevant cylinder or
cylinders is retarded. The anti-knock control (AKC) function is integrated in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit
(N3/10).

Input signals:
 Engine speed (crankshaft position sensor)
 Camshaft position (camshaft Hall sensor)
 Recognition of knocking over 4 knocking sensors
 Engine temperature (coolant temperature sensor)
 Engine load (pressure sensor downstream of throttle valve actuator)
 Accelerator pedal position (accelerator pedal sensor)
 Precontrol by means of automatic RON switch (internal)
 RON correction with STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Output signals:

 Ignition angle correction for specific cylinder to the map value


 calculated by the alternator control unit
 Ignition angle emergency mode if fault identified.

Anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of 70°C. If cylinder knocking is recognized above an
engine load of about 40%, its ignition angle is retarded by approx. 3.0° crank angle after the next ignition. If
knocking continues to be detected, the ignition angle is continuously retarded in 3° crank angle increments until
the maximum retardation is reached (approx. a 10 - 15° crank angle, depending on the engine speed). The
automatic RON switch also influences the maximum retardation of ignition timing - the higher the selected
RON stage, the less the maximum retardation of ignition timing.

If knocking-free combustion exists, retardation is reduced in approx. 0.75° crank angle increments after a few
ignitions (depending on the engine speed) until the performance map value is achieved, or knocking occurs
again.

Adaptation of anti-knock control

Adaptation of anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of approx. 75°C. Any corrections required
to the ignition angle due to knocking combustion are constantly detected for the specific cylinder and stored
together with the relevant operating state of the engine (engine load/speed range).

The stored adaptation value is taken into account in the output of the individual cylinder angles so that each
cylinder is immediately operated with the optimal ignition angle.

During abrupt acceleration, no values are stored for about 2 seconds to avoid any incorrect adaptation values.

Faults in knocking detection

If no signals are received from the knock sensors or from ionic current measurement, the ignition angle of all
cylinders is retarded for safety reasons by as much as approx. 11° crank angle depending on engine speed and
temperature. The anti-knock control and the adaptation are deactivated and a fault is stored.

Automatic RON switch


In addition to the RON correction using STAR DIAGNOSIS, the anti-knock control features an automatic RON
switch. This detects a persistent high knocking tendency of the engine and assists the anti-knock control by
means of an appropriate pre-control.

This is done by analyzing the stored adaptation values, the ignition angles of all the cylinders and the number of
control interventions in certain engine load and speed ranges. Depending on the threshold exceeded, the RON
value is adjusted by one or several stages. The value is retained until the engine is switched off.

After engine start, only the RON correction performed via STAR DIAGNOSIS is active at first.

The engines are designed to run with RON 98 fuel. If only fuel with RON 91 is available, the RON correction
must be carried out immediately using STAR DIAGNOSIS, otherwise engine damage is possible.

The task of the anti-knock control AKC is to ensure knock-free operation of the engine with different fuels and
in all operating conditions from idling speed up to maximum engine speed. For this purpose, if uncontrolled
combustion (knocking) occurs, the ignition angle at the knocking cylinders is retarded. The anti-knock control
(AKP) is integrated in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit.

Input signals:

 Motor speed (crankshaft Hall sensor)


 Camshaft position (camshaft Hall sensor)
 Recognition of knocking over 2 knocking sensors
 Engine temperature (coolant temperature sensor)
 Engine load (hot film mass air flow sensor)
 Accelerator pedal position (accelerator pedal sensor)
 Precontrol by means of automatic RON switch (internal)
 RON correction with STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Output signals:
 Ignition angle correction for specific cylinder to the map value calculated by the ME control unit
 Ignition angle emergency mode if fault identified.

The anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of 40°C. If cylinder knocking is recognized above
an engine load of about 40%, its ignition angle is adjusted to retarded by about a 3.0° crank angle after the next
ignition. If knocking continues to be detected, the ignition angle is continuously retarded in steps of a 3° crank
angle until the maximum retardation is reached (approx. a 10 -15° crank angle, depending on the engine speed).
The automatic RON switch also influences the maximum retarding of the ignition timing - the higher the
selected RON stage, the less is the maximum retarding of the ignition timing.

If knocking-free combustion exists, the retardation is reduced in steps of approx. 0.75° crank angle after a few
ignitions (depending on the engine speed) until the map value is achieved, or knocking occurs again.

Adaptation of anti-knock control

The adaptation of the anti-knock control is active from a coolant temperature of approx. 75°C. Any corrections
required to the ignition angle because of knocking combustion are constantly detected for the specific cylinder
and stored together with the relevant operating state of the engine (engine load/speed range). The stored
adaptation value is taken into account in the output of the individual cylinder angles so that each cylinder is
immediately operated with the optimal ignition angle.

During abrupt acceleration, no values are stored for about 2 seconds in order to avoid any incorrect adaptation
values.

Faults if knocking is detected

If no signals are received from the knock sensors, the ignition angle of all cylinders is retarded by as much as a
11° crank angle for safety reasons, depending on engine speed and temperature. The anti-knock control and the
adaptation are deactivated and a fault is stored.

Automatic RON switch

In addition to the RON correction using STAR DIAGNOSIS, the anti-knock control features an automatic RON
switch. This detects a persistent high knocking tendency of the engine and assists the anti-knock control by
means of an appropriate pre-control.

This is done by analyzing the stored adaptation values, the ignition angles of all the cylinders and the number of
control interventions in certain engine load and speed ranges. Depending on the threshold which has been
exceeded, the RON value is adjusted by one or several stages. The value is retained until the engine is switched
off.

After engine start, only the RON correction which is carried out by means of STAR DIAGNOSIS is at first
active.

The short name for the AC ignition system ECI means:

E = Energy (energy)

C = Controlled (controlled)

I = Ignition (ignition system)

The ignition system ECI must initiate combustion by creating a spark at the spark plugs. This requires an
adequately high voltage for generating a spark at the end of the spark plug and the sparks must also have
sufficient energy to ensure guaranteed combustion of the fuel / air mixture.

The ignition system must be insensible to carbon fouled spark plugs and guarantee a high spark plug working
life.

The ignition system ECI consists of:

 The ignition module ECI for the right cylinder bank


 The ignition module ECI for the left cylinder bank
 ECI ignition system mains unit
 Evaluation circuit for the ion current in the ME control unit
 Actuation of the ignition system ECI by the ME control unit
 Ignition map in the ME control unit.
The ignition system ECI has the following sub-functions:

1. Generation of the ignition voltage (AC voltage).

There is an output stage for each spark plug in the ignition modules. The ignition coils are arranged in the
spark plug connectors. The output stages with oscillating circuit generate the ignition voltage from an
input of about 180 V.

The ME control unit produces the following actuation impulses:

Triggering of the ignition spark according to the ignition angle


 Permanent control of the ignition process

 Change of ignition

 Ignition offset

2. Measurement of the ion current.

There is a switchover to ion current measurement at the end of the ignition spark phase and the ion
current on the spark plug is measured with the help of an auxiliary voltage of about 23 V. Evaluation of
the ion current signals takes place in the ME control unit. The signals are used for detection of
combustion misfires at high RPM.

3. The power pack generates the required voltages of two times about 180 volts and two times about 23
volts.

Fig. 85: Ignition Voltage Generation Circuit (AC Voltage)


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Generation of the ignition voltage (AC voltage)


The ignition voltage is generated in two steps:

1. Transistor (T R) closed - the voltage U 180 is transferred to the secondary side.


2. Transistor (T R) opened - the negative half wave of the AC voltage develops and is also transferred to the
secondary side.

Control of the transistor can theoretically allow generation of an AC voltage of any desired duration and energy
level.

The maximum spark burning period is, however, limited by the rated output of the power pack ECI of two times
55 watts depending on the engine speed to about 0.15 to 1.5 msecs. A spark burning period of about 0.1 msecs
is usually quite adequate for guaranteed combustion of the fuel / air mixture.

The rapid increase in ignition voltage makes the ignition system ECI insensible to carbon fouled spark plugs
e.g. due to frequent cold starts.

Permanent control of the ignition process

Adjustment of the spark energy over the spark duration to the actually required ignition energy of the fuel / air
mixture occurs controlled by the ME control unit according to the performance map.

The spark plugs enjoy 4 times their usual working life due to spark duration control. Combining this at the same
time with the use of spark plugs with platinum electrodes allows the working life to be extended even further.

Ignition offset and ignition change

In the lower part load range up to approx. 2000 RPM both ignition sparks of a cylinder are triggered
simultaneously. At moderate and high engine loads, the ignition sparks are triggered offset by as much as 10°
crank angle.

Here the order of actuation is changed each 720° crank angle in order to achieve even wear of both spark plugs
in a cylinder and to prevent one-sided accumulation of deposits in the combustion chamber.

Ion current measurement

Ions are created in the flame front during combustion (particles which have various different electrical charges)
which balance each other out again in the burnt mixture. The application of a relatively small measuring voltage
to the end of the spark plug allows one to measure this ion current through the flame. The measuring voltage is
applied to the primary side of the ignition coils (auxiliary voltage of about 23 volts). This gives an AC voltage
on the secondary side of about 1 kV with about 65 kHz on the spark plug electrodes. The ion current modulates
this voltage. Decoupling and filtering allows one to obtain an ion current signal. The ion current signal gives
information about the rate of cylinder pressure with a degree of accuracy, which allows the detection of
combustion misfirings.

The ion current signal is transferred to the control unit ME for every 3 cylinders. The cylinder concerned in
each case is allocated in the control unit ME with the help of measuring windows.
The chemical formula for the creation of ions in the flame is:

CH + O --> CHO+ + e -

CHO+ + H2 O--> H3 O+ + CO

H3 O+ + e- --> H2 O + H

Fig. 86: View Of Ions In Flame

Ion current measurement at the spark plug delivers a signal directly from the combustion chamber without the
use of any additional components such as combustion chamber pressure sensors.

The measurement is taken after ignition has been initiated by both spark plugs and

The profiles of the ion current signal and cylinder pressure are the same during combustion.

Through this behavior, the evaluated ion current signal is used to detect combustion misfires reliably in all
operating conditions and at all engine speeds. This is used for actuating the spark duration, for spark plugs
diagnosis, for diagnosis according to OBD or EURO4 and for cylinder specific fuel cut-off.

a short waiting time. The measurement is only taken on the spark plug which first sparked. The distance
between the electrodes does not have any effect on the ion current signal.

Ignition system, general points

The short name for the AC ignition system ECI means:

E = E nergy

C = C ontrolled

I = I gnition

The ECI ignition system initiates combustion by generating sparks at the spark plug (R4). To do this, it must
provide a sufficiently high voltage to cross the spark gap and sufficient energy to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
The ignition system is impervious to spark plug carbon fouling and ensures long service life for the spark plugs.

The ignition system ECI consists of:

 ECI ignition system power pack (N91)


 ECI ignition module, RH cylinder bank (N92/1)
 ECI ignition module, LH cylinder bank (N92/2)
 ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (for evaluation of ionic current, actuation at "tml. 1", ignition maps)
 Spark plugs

No spark tests can be carried out on the ECI ignition system.

ECI ignition system function sequence

The ECI ignition system is divided into the following subfunctions:

 Ignition voltage generation function sequence


 Ignition spark control function sequence
 Ionic current measurement function sequence

Ignition voltage generation function sequence

The power pack generates the required ignition voltages (AC voltages) of 2 x 180 V approx. and the auxiliary
voltages of 2 X 23 V approx. for ionic current measurement.

One output stage per spark plug is provided in the ignition modules. The ignition coils are integrated in the
spark plug connectors. The output stages generate the ignition voltage from about 180 V.

The ignition voltage is generated in two steps:

1. Transistor closed in the ECI power pack - 180 V voltage transferred to the secondary side.
2. Transistor open in the ECI power pack - the negative half-wave of the AC voltage is generated and is also
transferred to the secondary side.

Control of the transistor can theoretically allow generation of an AC voltage of any desired duration and energy
level.

However, the maximum spark duration is limited by the rated output of the ECI power pack (2 x 55 W) to
between about 0.15 and 1.5 ms, depending on RPM. A spark duration of about 0.1 ms is sufficient to ignite the
mixture.

The rapid increase in ignition voltage makes the

The ECI ignition system is impervious to carbon fouling of the spark plugs, for example due to frequent cold
starts.
Ignition spark control function sequence

The ignition sparks are triggered by the ME-SFI control unit according to the ignition map.

Spark duration control

Adaptation of the spark energy by spark duration to the actual energy requirement for ignition of the fuel-air
mixture is map-controlled by ME-SFI control unit.

The spark plugs enjoy 4 times their usual working life due to spark duration control. Combining this at the same
time with the use of spark plugs with platinum electrodes allows the working life to be extended even further.

Ignition offset and ignition change

In the lower part load range up to approx. 2000 RPM both ignition sparks of a cylinder are triggered
simultaneously. At medium and high loads ignition is displaced by up to 10° CKA (C rank A ngle).

The actuation sequence is changed every 720° crank angle, to ensure even wear on the two spark plugs in the
cylinder and prevent single-sided deposits in the combustion chamber.

Ionic current measurement function sequence

When the ignition spark has ended, ionic current measurement is started and the ionic current at the spark plug
is measured with the auxiliary voltage of about 23 V. Evaluation of the ionic current signals takes place in the
ME control unit. The signals are used for detection of combustion misfires at high RPM.

ionic current measurement at the spark plug delivers a signal directly from the combustion chamber without the
use of any additional components such as combustion chamber pressure sensors.

The measurement is taken after a successful ignition at both spark plugs and a brief waiting time. The
measurement is only taken on the spark plug which first sparked. The electrode gap has no effect on the ionic
current signal.

During combustion, ions are created at the flame front (particles with different electrical charges), which are
balanced out again in the burnt fuel-air mixture.

By applying a relative low measurement voltage to the spark plug (about 23 V) after the spark has ended, the
ionic current can be measured through the flame.

The measurement voltage is applied to the primary side of the ignition coils. On the secondary side, this
produces an AC voltage of about 1 kV at 65 kHz at the spark plug electrodes. The ionic current modulates this
voltage.

Decoupling and filtering allows one to obtain an ionic current signal. The ionic current signal gives information
about cylinder pressure characteristics, with some accuracy, and can therefore be used to detect combustion
misfires.
The ionic current signal is transferred to the control unit ME for every 3 cylinders. The cylinder concerned in
each case is allocated in the control unit ME with the help of measuring windows.

Ionic current signal and cylinder pressure

The characteristics of the ionic current signal and cylinder pressure are the same during combustion.

The ionic current can thus be used to securely detect combustion misfires in all operating conditions and at all
engine speeds.

The ionic current signal is also used to control spark duration, and for spark plug diagnosis, diagnosis (as in on-
board diagnosis (OBD) or EURO4) and cylinder-specific fuel shutoff.

Fig. 98: Starter Control CAN Function Diagram


Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The starter control which is integrated in the ME control unit takes over the actuation of the starter and the
deactivation of the starter after reaching the engine starting speed.

Starting prerequisites

Actuation of the starter only takes place for "start enable" (drive authorization) from EIS [EZS] control unit and
by recognition of engaged drive position "P" or "N" by the electronic selector lever module control unit (for
model 209, 211, 219) or by the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (for model 164, 216, 221, 251).

Starting

Through actuation of ignition in the start position, the ME control unit receives the "tml. 50 signal" from the
EIS control unit via the CAN data bus. Start control is carried out automatically by the ME control unit (touch
start). It actuates the starter relay with a ground signal. The power contact on the starter relay closes and the
starter solenoid switch is supplied at "terminal 50" with voltage from "terminal 15 unfused".

Ending start
(dependent on the coolant temperature), the ME control unit interrupts the negative activation to the starter relay
and therefore ends the starting procedure.

Once the start operation is initiated, switching off "Terminal 50" (ignition/starter switch) has no further
influence on the starting procedure.

The starter control takes over the actuation of the starter (M1) and interrupts the circuit (circuit 50) to the
solenoid switch of the starter (starter deactivation) after reaching the engine cranking speed.

By actuating the ignition starter switch at the electronic ignition switch control unit (N73), from position
"2" (ignition ON) in position "3" (START), starter detection is performed by the ME control unit (N3/10).

The solenoid switch of the starter is actuated by the ME control unit via the starter relay.

The voltage supply of the starter relay (coil) is supplied through circuit 87. The starter relay is actuated by the
ME control unit with a ground signal.

If the starting procedure has started, the actuation of the ignition starter switch from position "3" back into
position "2" no longer has any influence (touch start).

When reaching the engine cranking speed of 400 up to 700 RPM or a starting time of approx. 5 to 40 seconds
(dependent on the engine temperature), the ME control unit interrupts the negative activation to the starter relay
and therefore ends the starting procedure.

 Engine OFF
 Drive authorization system 3 (DAS 3) start enable
 Engaged gear range "P" or "N"

Starter control general points

Starter control which is integrated in the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) takes over actuation and shutoff of
the starter (M1).

The ME-SFI control unit manages the starter control according to the following sensors and signals:

 Coolant temperature sensor (B11/4)


 Crankshaft Hall sensor (B70), motor speed
 EIS control unit (N73), tml. 50 signal over the chassis CAN (CAN E)
 Electric controller unit (VGS) (Y3/8), gear range over the drive train CAN (CAN C)

Starter control function sequence

The function sequence is subdivided into the following steps:

 Start function sequence


 End of start function sequence

Start function sequence

When the transmitter key (A8/1) is moved to the start position, the ME-SFI control unit receives the "tml. 50
signal" from the EIS control unit over the chassis CAN.

It then actuates terminal 50 starter relay (N10/1kH) with a ground signal. The power contact on the starter relay
closes and the starter solenoid switch is supplied at "circuit 50" with voltage from "circuit 30".
End of start function sequence

Start control is carried out automatically by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (touch start). This means that if the
start process is initiated switching off of "circuit 50" has no further influence on the start process.

When the engine cranking speed of 400 to 700 RPM is reached, or after a starting time of about 5 to 40 s
(depending on coolant temperature), the ME-SFI control unit breaks off the negative activation of terminal 50
relay (starter) and thus terminates the start procedure.

The start sequence can only be aborted by switching off the ignition.

General

When the engine is running, the alternator supplies the on-board electrical system with electrical energy and
charges the battery. For this purpose, the alternator generates three-phase current which is rectified. A bit
synchronous data interface is used as the alternator interface between the ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI
control unit and the alternator. The data rate between the engine control unit and alternator is up to 1250 bit/s.

Function and task

Messages between the engine control unit and the alternator are exchanged via the alternator interface. This
follows the master-slave principle. The engine control unit is the master and the alternator acts as the slave. The
alternator only sends when it is requested to do so by the master. The following tasks are performed:

 Switching on of the alternator after the engine has been started, and regulation of the alternator according
to the information stored in the engine control unit. To do this, the control voltage is preset by the engine
control unit.
 Protecting the alternator against overheating.
 Delayed adaptation of the regulation voltage in the case of a major change in alternator load.
 Generation of terminal 61 (information "alternator is turning") in the engine control unit.

The alternator constantly performs self-diagnosis and sends the results when requested to the engine control
unit. The engine control unit compares them with other signals (e.g. engine speed, battery voltage and time after
engine start) and detects the following faults:

 Electrical and mechanical faults at the alternator (regulator or diodes defective, stator interruption or short
circuit, exciter interruption, regulation voltage and charging current may not be achieved, regulation
voltage too high, cracked or loose poly-V belt).
 Short circuit or open circuit at output terminal 61 of engine control unit.
 Line for the alternator interface interrupted between engine control unit and alternator. With this fault, the
alternator operates using its fixed parameters. A regulation voltage of approx. 14.3 V is predefined.

The DFM connection outputs a signal which indicates the capacity utilization of the alternator.

This signal is used for electrical control of the engine heater booster. In model series 211, the AAC [KLA]
control and operating unit evaluates the signal and regulates the heater booster according to the alternator load
condition.

Networking

The engine control unit uses the alternator interface to control the control response of the alternator in order to
reduce, in idle, the generator torque which is produced at a high power output. As a result of the reduced engine
load, less fuel is injected and the exhaust characteristics are optimized.

Terminal 61 is simulated in the control unit using the information which the ME-SFI [ME] engine control unit
or CDI engine control unit receives via the alternator interface. This information is supplied to the driver-side
SAM control unit with fuse and relay module via Controller Area Network bus class C or via a signal line.

The driver-side SAM control unit with fuse and relay module conditions the signal and makes it available to the
instrument cluster via Controller Area Network bus class B.

The upper limit value of the regulation voltage can be up to approx. 15 V.

Engine speed

Depending on the variant, the pulses from the Hall sensor or position sensor on the crankshaft are read in by the
ME-SFI [ME] control unit or CDI control unit.

The control unit relays the "engine speed" (in RPM) message onto the CAN-C.

Diagnosis

The following faults are detected after "ignition ON" and may be stored as a fault entry in the ME-SFI [ME]
engine control unit or CDI engine control unit:

 Alternator interface defective


 Line interruption (circuit 30)

The following faults are detected after "engine start" and may be stored as a fault entry in the ME-SFI [ME]
engine control unit or CDI engine control unit:

 Electrical fault at alternator


 Mechanical fault at alternator
 Line interruption (circuit 30)
 Undervoltage and defective alternator interface

The "battery symbol" and the "Visit workshop" message also appear in the multifunction display in the
instrument cluster.

This fault message in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster can also be triggered by information
from the following control units:

 Battery control unit (N82)


 EIS [EZS] control unit (N73)

If malfunctions occur, always perform an alternator diagnosis using the diagnosis assistance system (DAS).

Emergency running

If the communication between the alternator and engine control unit is interrupted, the alternator continues to
run at its fixed default parameters during normal engine operation.

The test prerequisites for the alternator test are listed in the DAS and must always be observed. The test itself is
a test routine and is menu-assisted.

Emergency start

The alternator has an emergency start function. If the communication between the alternator and engine control
unit is interrupted, the alternator can, depending on the rotational speed, generate a voltage from the residual
magnetism.

If, on the basis of the voltage and frequency, the regulator detects that the alternator is rotating, it automatically
begins energizing of the field and enters regulation mode.

Limitations:

 The "regulation OFF" command from the control unit interrupts this emergency running state.
 Precise specification of the starting speed for the emergency start function is not possible.

Engine speed

Pulses from the Hall sensor or position sensor to the crankshaft are read in by the engine control unit.

The engine control unit sends the motor speed (in RPM) message to the Controller Area Network bus Class C.

Diagnosis

The following faults are detected after "ignition ON" and may be stored as a fault entry in the engine control

Assignment of connection for signal lines

Connector on alternator, pin 1:


 Alternator with multifunction regulator without interface: Connection for alternator (G2) to driver-side
SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1)
 Alternators with bit synchronous data interface (BSS): Connection for alternator to engine control unit
ME (N3/10) or CDI (N3/9)
 Alternators with local interconnect network interface (LIN): Connection for alternator to engine control
unit ME or CDI

Connector on alternator, pin 2:

 This is a Dynamo Field Monitor (DFM) signal. It provides information about the load condition of the
alternator. This signal is used for electrical control of the engine heater booster. In model series 211 the
AAC [KLA] control and operating unit (N22) evaluates the signal and regulates the heater booster
(R22/3) depending on the alternator load.

Pre-excitation power circuit

Alternators receive the pre-or excitation current directly from the battery (G1), via circuit B+ at the alternator.
The switch-on signal at Pin 1 of the alternator takes place:

 for multifunction regulator without interface with a discrete signal from the driver-side SAM control unit
with fuse and relay module
 for BSS or LIN interface with a valid message from the engine control unit

Excitation power circuit

Alternator are self-exciting power generators. The excitation current builds up the magnetic field in the
excitation coil of the rotor. It is branched off from the current flowing in the three-phase AC winding.

Charge power circuit

The charge power circuit supplies the on-board electrical system with electrical energy.

Control

Regulation of alternator with multifunction regulator takes place by integral electronics depending on the
rotational speed and on-board power supply voltage.

For alternators with BSS or a LIN interface the engine management intervenes in the regulation.

GENERAL INFORMATION
DETERMINE LOSS OF PRESSURE AT CYLINDER - AH01.00-N-1300-02A

All engines

If an increased pressure loss was found with the cylinder leaktightness tester, inspect engine by listening at
cylinder head gasket, air intake area, exhaust, oil filler opening and prechamber or spark plug bores of the
adjacent cylinder or cylinders.

Check the coolant in the coolant expansion reservoir for the formation of air bubbles.

Possible causes for the pressure loss are:

1. Outlet of air through prechamber or spark plug bore of adjacent cylinder or cylinders, air bubbles
in coolant expansion reservoir:

pressure loss at cylinder head gasket

2. Outlet of air through air intake area: For inspecting by listening, open throttle valve

pressure loss at inlet valve(s)

3. Outlet of air through exhaust:

pressure loss at exhaust valve(s)

4. Outlet of air through oil filler opening:

pressure loss through pistons and piston rings

It is possible to pinpoint the pressure loss of the relevant cylinder by spraying with engine oil. Engine oil seals
off the gap between piston and cylinder briefly.

If a reduced pressure loss now occurs for a short time, the cause is very likely to be at the pistons, piston rings
or cylinder contact surface of the relevant cylinder.

Determining the cause can be falsified by the position of the piston ring joints. If suspicion exists that the loss of
pressure is caused by the piston ring joints being positioned directly one above the other, fit parts to engine and
repeat test after running engine for a short time.
NOTES ON POSITION OF ENGINE NUMBER - AH01.00-P-0001-01D

GENERAL INFORMATION ON INSPECTING CYLINDER WALLS - AH01.00-P-0300-01AMG

1. Pressure gloss marks, smooth spots

Individual blank points, e.g. in middle of cylinder or in area of cylinder head bolts.

Reuse crankcase.
Fig. 2: Identifying Pressure Gloss Marks, Smooth Spots On Cylinder Wall

2. Visible mottling, friction marks

Starting from first piston ring, tapering to an end after about 30 mm. Traces of dry friction marks which
cannot be felt, caused by oil film being washed off by fuel, e.g. during frequent cold starts associated with
short-distance driving. These traces of friction marks which occur principally in area of cylinder head
bolts and on pressure side are not a problem provided they are smoothed. The piston rings are not
damaged.

Reuse crankcase.

3. Ring shaped imprints

Visible imprints in the upper and lower piston ring reversal range are not a reason for complaint.

Reuse crankcase.

4. Rotary bright, specular, polished upper surfaces of cylinder

Usually starting from the first piston ring, in the upper area of cylinder, with measurable partial cylinder
wear.

Cylinder wall unusable.

5. Roughened mottling, friction scoring

Starting from first and second piston ring, tapering to an end only in bottom part of cylinder. Traces of
rubbing as described in item 2, which have advanced to signs of seizure. Piston rings may be damaged.

If damage can be felt, cylinder wall unusable.

6. Continuous individual traces of scratch

Caused by contamination, e.g. through reverse pulsation of soot particles out of exhaust.

Reuse crankcase.

7. Piston seizure

Most of cylinder wall perceptibly roughened over the entire length. Material deposits and perceptible
scoring marks on cylinder wall and at piston skirt.

Cylinder wall unusable.

8. Brown coloring of cylinder upper surface.

Oil varnish is over large areas of cylinder contact surface and indicates, that engine was driven at high
temperature level. Reuse crankcase provided no impermissible cylinder distortion is present. Oil varnish
above piston ring zone is normal and is not a reason for complaint.

GENERAL INFORMATION ON INSPECTING CYLINDER WALLS - AH01.00-P-0300-01VA

General note

If a complaint is made about an engine, for example because of noises, overheating, oil consumption etc.,
perform a visual inspection of the mounted cylinder head by inspecting with light probe with an endoscope. The
following notes should be helpful in assessing the cylinder barrels to allow a professional decision to be made
about the condition and further use of the crankcase. If this can cannot be assessed with sufficient security
through inspecting with an endoscope then the work "Check compression pressure" and "Check cylinder
leakage" must be performed before removal of the cylinder head as described in the Workshop Information
System (WIS).

The results of checking should be documented on a repair order. For deviations from the prescribed wear and
tolerance values one should particularly determine the direction of the leakage while checking the leaktightness
of the cylinder (in the direction valve or in the direction of the crankcase).

In the case of deviating compression pressure values, in particular when not achieving the installation
tolerance/new values (measured with a compression recorder), one should check for indications of a fluid lock
(e.g. wet piston crown, wet air filter, water-oil-glycol residues).

Ideal condition

A matt gray user interface, no honing pattern, a dry cylinder barrel, without polished sections or mirror polished
flats.

It is also possible that irregularities can occur which should be individually assessed.

Optical stripes, friction marks

Starting from the first, second or third piston ring, run out after approx. 30 mm. Traces of dry friction marks
which cannot be felt, caused by soot particles and oil film being washed off by fuel, e.g. from frequent cold
starts associated with short-distance driving. These traces of friction marks which occur principally in area of
cylinder head bolts and on pressure side are not a problem provided they are smoothed.

Continue to use crankcase.

USE OF ENGINE NO. WHEN INSTALLING RECONDITIONED ENGINES AND FACTORY-NEW


REPLACEMENT ENGINES OR CRANKCASES - AH01.10-P-0001-01A

All engines
The engine number has a different legal significance in individual countries. In the Federal Republic of
Germany, for example, it has been classified by the legislative authorities since mid-1972 as "insignificant in
terms of traffic legislation". It is therefore no longer included in the vehicle title document and vehicle
registration document.

Practically all other countries continue to require the indication of the engine number on motor vehicles which
are registered in such countries. In dealing with international traffic, the authorities proceed on the basis of the
provisions of the country in which the vehicle is registered.

In order to avoid any problems on the occasion of vehicle checks or when crossing international frontiers as a
result of the lack of or incorrect engine number, the following directives have to be observed when carrying out
repairs.

1. Directives for vehicles which are registered in the Federal Republic of Germany
a. In the case of vehicles for which no engine number is indicated in the vehicle registration
document (first registration after approx. mid-1972), it is not necessary to stamp or revise an
engine number if a replacement engine or crankcase of the same type is fitted.
b. If an engine number is indicated in the vehicle registration document , it is possible, if an
engine of the same type is fitted, to transfer the number of the removed component to the new
engine, or the appropriate authority (vehicle inspection authority, vehicle registration authority)
should be requested to delete the engine number in the vehicle title document or registration
document. The German Federal Minister of Transport has issued appropriate ministerial orders in
Transport Gazette 1973, p. 66.
2. Vehicles which are registered outside of the Federal Republic of Germany

If a reconditioned engine or factory-new replacement engine or crankcase is fitted and this is of the
identical type, it is then necessary to adopt the engine number of the engine removed and to transfer it to
the new engine or crankcase.

NOTE: It is possible in the case of various engines only to stamp the engine
number in place when the engine is removed.

For this reason, pay attention to the particular directives stated in Para 3 for the installation of
reconditioned engines, crankcases and shortblocks.

3. Special directives

3.1 Installation of factory-new replacement engine of identical type


a. If a factory-new engine is installed and an engine number is required (e.g. vehicle registered
outside of the Federal Republic of Germany), the number of the factory-new engine must be ground
off and the number of the originally installed engine of identical type stamped in its place.
b. If the factory-new engine is fitted with an engine type plate (older car engines) and it is necessary
to indicate an engine number in the vehicle documents, in this case take the engine type plate off
the engine removed and affix it at the same point on the engine of identical type to be installed.
3.2 Installation of reconditioned engine of identical type
a. The reconditioned engine plate must not be removed either from the reconditioned engine to be
installed, nor from the engine removed, if the latter was a reconditioned engine.
b. If the engine removed is fitted with an engine type plate (older car engines) and it is necessary to
indicate an engine number in the vehicle documents, the engine type plate then has to be taken off
the engine removed and affixed at the same point to the reconditioned engine to be installed. This
plate should be affixed in addition to the reconditioned engine plate.

In the event that a vehicle owner has problems on the occasion of vehicle checks or when crossing
international frontiers because of the lack of an engine number, the workshop in question may in certain
circumstances be held liable.

After replacing an engine, the engine number has to be altered in the vehicle maintenance booklet and on
the vehicle data cards as well as in the repair customer file. These documents should clearly show which
engine is installed in the vehicle in order to ensure smooth parts service.

In addition, the copy of the vehicle data card which is held at the Parts Department of the relevant Branch
or Importer should also be altered.

3.3 Model designation identification of crankcases and shortblocks

Crankcases and shortblocks available in the parts sector are not provided with an engine model designation
identification and also not with an engine number.

To make it possible to identify the engine on the occasion of vehicle inspections (e.g. by an inspection authority
when a vehicle is taken out of service or at the Customs on the occasion of importation of vehicle), the
workshop carrying out the repairs has to stamp the engine model designation in the crankcase or the shortblock
in the space provided for the engine number.

Example:

Type Engine model designation 201.024 102.962

Extract from Transport Gazette 1973 p. 66

(applies only to the Federal Republic of Germany)

Official Gazette of the Federal Minister of Transport

Directive in respect of vehicle title document (VkBI 1972 p. 354)

Bonn, 28 December 1972 StV 2/36.15.17

Pursuant to the directive relating to the vehicle title document dated 20 June 1972, Part C. No. 9.1, a dash
should be inserted at the relevant point in the place of data which are no longer required in future (e.g. in the
case of the "factory number of engine") in those instances where the older type of title documents are used for
the preparation of the vehicle title document.
The question which is now posed is what procedure should be adopted in respect of the vehicle title document
or the vehicle registration document in the event that the factory number of the engine from the past is still
entered in the older type of title documents and a replacement engine with a new number is now installed in the
vehicle in question. Following consultation with the competent authorities in the regions, I now provide the
following instructions:

I. In view of the fact that the factory number of the engine is regarded as insignificant in respect of traffic
legislation, no change requires to be made to the vehicle documents. This also does not conflict with 27
Para 1 StVZO pursuant to which the data in the vehicle title and registration documents constantly have
to reflect actual circumstances. This requirement namely covers only those particulars relating to actual
circumstances which are of significance in terms of traffic legislation. This is no longer the case,
however, in respect of the factory number of the engine.

II. In order to spare the relevant vehicle owner any misunderstandings or indeed possible disadvantages (e.g.
on the occasion of checks when abroad), I recommend proceeding as follows:

In the event that the replacement engine installed has a different number than that entered in the title and
registration document, the figures in the column "engine factory number" shall be deleted and the following
endorsement made at a suitable point both in the title as well as in the registration document:

"Entry of engine factory number no longer necessary".

If the endorsement is made close to the deletion, it is sufficient to state:

"Entry no longer required".

The Federal Minister of Transport

Permanent operation with unleaded fuel requires installation of harder valve seat inserts.

The above reconditioned engines are equipped with these harder valve seat inserts and therefore can be operated
permanently with unleaded fuel without limitation.

INFORMATION ON CYLINDER HEAD CONTACT SURFACE - AH01.30-P-1000-05A

The cylinder head contact surface should only be machined if there is mechanical damage.

It should not be machined (by face grinding) if the contact surface of the cylinder head is uneven (warped) in
the longitudinal and transverse directions.
When the cylinder head is mounted again, surface warping will be evened out when the cylinder head bolts are

1. Cover over timing case recess with a clean cloth.

The timing case recess must be secured against parts falling down. Parts that have fallen into the
timing case recess must be removed.

2. Connect the new timing chain (2) and the old timing chain (1) with the assembly link (01).

Fit the lock of the assembly link (01) in the direction opposite to that in which the timing
chain is drawn; otherwise it could get jammed on the slide rails and come off when the timing chain is
drawn.

3. Remove the rags from the timing case recess.


Otherwise, they could get pulled into the timing case recess when the engine is cranked.

4. Turn the crankshaft slowly in the engine's direction of rotation (arrow) and draw in the new timing chain
(2) until the ends of the new timing chain (2) can be connected.

As the new timing chain (2) is being drawn in (arrows), pull out the end of the old timing chain
(1) evenly as it becomes free.

5. Cover over timing case recess with a clean cloth.

The timing case recess must be secured against parts falling down. Parts that have fallen into the timing
case recess must be removed.

6. Detach the assembly link (01), and separate the old timing chain (1) from the new timing chain (2).

The assembly link (01) must be removed. The assembly link is only an aid for assembly and is
not suitable for engine operation.

Remove camshafts:

1. Turn the exhaust and intake camshaft only until the base circles of the cams abut the cup tappets as much
as possible.

The camshafts (4) are highly sensitive to fracturing. When removing and installing the camshafts,
make sure that the base circles of the cams abut the cup tappets as much as possible. The camshafts (4)
are thus mainly free from tension in the bearing points.

If the camshafts (4) and camshaft bearing caps (3) have no identification markings, these must be
marked. Interchanged bearing caps can lead to engine damage.

2. Unscrew the bolts (2) and remove the camshaft bearing caps (3)
3. Remove the camshafts (4).

Install the camshafts:

4. Lubricate the cup tappets and camshaft bearing points.


5. Place the exhaust and intake camshafts into the camshaft bearing points so that the base circles of the
cams abut the cup tappets as much as possible.

When installing the camshaft bearing caps (3), pay attention to the identification markings and
install the camshaft bearing caps (3) in the same locations.

6. Attach the assigned camshaft bearing caps (3) with bolts (2).
7. Tighten the bolts (2) evenly.

Pay attention to the tightening torque and tightening diagram.

The tooth flanks (2a, 2b) are pressed against one another under spring tension. Ensure that the tooth
backlash compensation is arrested before installing the camshaft adjuster.

1. Insert retaining bolt (01b) for tensioning tool (01) in to camshaft adjuster (2).

The tensioning tool (01) should make even contact with the camshaft adjuster (2).

2. Screw in bolt (01s) as far as possible.

This causes the quadrant (01z) to arrest the tooth flanks (2a, 2b) on the camshaft adjuster (2) in
relation to one another.

LOCK THE GEAR BACKLASH COMPENSATION - AR05.20-P-7201-05VA

The tooth flanks (1, 2) are held against each other by spring pressure and should not be skewed, otherwise
the camshaft adjuster will be irreparably damaged

1. Insert the drift (3, diameter 3mm) into the bore (4) of the cover plate and lock the tooth flanks (1, 2) with
each other.

Push the drift (3) through to the end of tooth flank (2).

To allow the drift (3) to be inserted more easily, align the tooth flanks with each other (in the direction of
the arrows).

skin contact with sodium resulting
in heat or chemical burns.

Potential risks

Risk of explosion

Explosion may occur when melting down sodium-filled valves.

Sodium has a very low self-ignition temperature (121 °C) and may spontaneously ignite in moist air.

Improper disposal may lead to fires due to moisture in scrap containers.

Risk of poisoning

The inhalation of toxic vapors causes severe irritation, shortness of breath, headaches, nausea and vomiting.

Risk of injury

Leaked sodium that comes into contact with moist body tissue (perspiration on hands, tears) may undergo a
severe, explosive reaction and generate heat. This may lead to skin irritation and burns, and to corneal damage
with possible blinding.

Safety instructions/precautions

 Keep water and sources of heat and ignition away from sodium.
 When handling damaged, sodium-filled valves, wear suitable protective gloves and safety glasses, if
necessary.
 Never machine sodium-filled valves.
 Do not open sodium-filled valves.
 Observe all additional safety requirements and regulations in your country.

First aid measures

Skin and eye contact

 Remove sodium, treat the injured area with an oily solution, e.g. Biseptol and consult a physician.

Ingestion

 Do not give the affected person anything to drink, consult a physician.


Vapor inhalation

 Move the victim out of the risk area.


 If victim has the urge to vomit, give him/her oxygen.
 In the event of respiratory failure, administer artificial respiration and notify a physician.

Location
Fig. 190: Identifying Camshaft Solenoids
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

The camshaft solenoids are located at the front on respective cylinder head.

Task

The camshaft solenoids actuate camshaft adjustment, whereby camshafts are continuously adjusted up a 42°
crank angle. Adjustment of camshaft optimizes engine torque development and improves exhaust
characteristics.

Design

Solenoids are designed as proportional solenoids which means travel of the anchor and thus the location of the
control plunger in the integral control valve is dependent on the current strength in the coil.

Function

Solenoids are actuated at the ground end by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit (N3/10) by means of a PWM signal
(pulse width modulated signal). The voltage supply to the solenoid is via "terminal 87".

The integral control plungers are actuated via the map-dependent duty cycle of the PWM signal. To achieve
rapid adjustment of the armature, the maximum current (duty cycle 100%) is output for a short period (approx.
0.5 sec). Then a hold-in winding voltage with a lower duty cycle is set.

Solenoid actuate via the duty cycle of control plunger in control valves whereby more or less switching oil
(pressure oil) flows in the swivel motor adjuster.

The amount of switching oil in swivel motor adjuster is controlled according to the position of control plunger.
This is achieved by bore holes located at various points in the control valves as well as by oil ducts in the swivel
motor adjuster rotors.

The camshaft adjustment range is mechanically restricted by the shape of the swivel motor adjuster. If the
solenoids are no longer actuated then a rest occurs against the direction of rotation in which the camshafts are
mechanically locked (start position).

Location

The solenoids are located in front of the respective camshaft.


Fig. 193: Locating Camshaft Solenoids
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Task

The solenoids actuate the control plunger on the vane-cell adjuster according to the performance map related
duty cycle. Depending on their position, more or less pressure oil flows from the hollow camshaft into the oil
galleries of the vane-type adjuster.

Design

The solenoids for camshaft adjustment are designed as proportional magnets, i.e. the direction of the armature
and thus the position of the control plunger in the vane-type adjuster are dependent on the intensity of the
current in the coil.

Shown on engine 272


Fig. 194: Camshaft Solenoid Function Diagram
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA

Function

The solenoids before the camshafts are actuated by the ME control unit at the ground end by means of a PWM
signal (150 Hz). The voltage supply for the solenoid takes place from circuit 87. The vane-cell adjuster are
actuated according to the performance map related duty cycle.

The maximum current (duty cycle 100 %) is emitted for a short time about 0.5 seconds) for rapid adjusting of
the anchor. A hold-in winding voltage with a small duty cycle is then set afterwards. The coil resistance at room
temperature is approx. 7.5 ohms.

Depending on their position, the oil volume in the vane-type adjusters is controlled. This takes place through
differently arranged holes in the control plunger as well as through oil ducts in the vane-cell adjusters. The
adjusting range of the camshaft is limited by the forming of the vane-cell adjuster mechanically. If the solenoids
are no longer actuated then resetting takes place against the direction of rotation.

The following positions are possible:

 Filling the oil gallery

Pressure oil flows out of the hollow camshafts into the vane-cell adjuster. The camshafts adjust
themselves to the respective direction of rotation. The inlet camshafts adjust to "advanced". The exhaust
camshafts adjust themselves due to their reversed direction of rotation to "retarded".

 Oil gallery closed

Each camshaft position is detected by a camshaft Hall sensor. Once the requested adjustment has been
achieved then the respective solenoid will be actuated in such a way that oil galleries in the vane-cell
adjusters are closed.

 Emptying the oil gallery

The camshafts adjust themselves against their direction of rotation.

MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
DISPOSAL OF SODIUM-FILLED VALVES - OS05.30-P-0001-01A

Exhaust valves filled with sodium

Collecting and storing

The sodium-cooled valves must be inspected for leaks and neutralized if any leakage exists. Neutralizing should
be performed in the open in a vessel containing a 2:1 mixture of spirit and water. After this, the cleaned valves
can be gathered together with other scrap items, in a closed removable open container for scrapping.

Disposal

The parts are scrapped by the scrap trade. Documentary proof of disposal, accompanying or delivery documents
as well as other disposal documents are not necessary.

Legal right in respect of information

The competent authority is obliged to provide information regarding waste disposal installations on request.
National or local legislation determines which authority is responsible for providing such information.

Disposal of larger quantities of leaktight valves is possible through:
