BASIC KNOWLEDGE
TURBOCHARGING, FUNCTION - GF09.00-P-2000M
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:
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.
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.
Function
Fig. 44: Switchover Valve Function Diagram

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.
Location
The variable intake manifold switchover valve is mounted at the front of the variable intake manifold.
Task
Pressurize intake manifold switchover aneroid capsules with vacuum or admitting air.
Design
Electromagnetic switchover valve in the plastic housing, coil resistance approx. 30. Ventilation via cap.
Function
The variable intake manifold switchover valve is actuated on the earth side by the engine control unit through
its own output stage. The voltage is supplied through circuit 87.
A valve plate operated by a coil armature shifts between atmosphere and vacuum storage.
Location
The variable intake manifold is located in the middle between the cylinder heads.
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.

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

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:
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.

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

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.
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).
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.

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.
Charge air For each cylinder bank, a charge air cooler is mounted behind the air
cooler position filter.

Engine 275.98, 285.98: In front of the cooler of the engine cooling system.
Task of the low The coolant which is heated in the charge air cooler is cooled off in the low
temperature cooler temperature coolant circuit.
The low temperature cooler is designed as an air/fluid heat exchanger.
Design of the low
Engine 275.98, 285.98: Increased cooling due to larger low temperature

coolers.
Function of the low The airstream flows through the numerous cooling fins and thus cools the
temperature cooler coolant flowing through the low temperature cooler.
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:
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.
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).
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.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
REMOTE TRUNK CLOSING, LOCATION OF COMPONENTS - GF80.20-P-0002-01LE
MODEL 221.0 /1 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC [HDFS])
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.
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 via TLC button (S62/26)
Function sequence for closing trunk lid via trunk lid open/close switch (S20/1s6)
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.

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

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.
Function
The central locking (CL) controls electric locking and unlocking of the vehicle doors, the trunk lid and the fuel
filler flap.

Operation
On vehicles with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC), the trunk lid can be opened and closed
hydraulically. For this purpose, see separate function description "Remote trunk closing (RTC) function".
The vehicle doors can always be opened from the inside regardless of the status of the central locking (CL). The
corresponding door lock is then unlocked.
Special case
Globally unlocked 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.
National 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).

This mechanical lockout can be overridden with the safety lever on the rear doors.
As an alternative, the lockout can be released for 5 s by pressing the interior actuation CL switch while
actuating the left rear child safety lock motor (A85/3m5) and right rear child safety lock motor (A85/4m5).
Function requirement
Interior protection activated (on vehicles with code (882) Interior monitoring (only with ATA))
Function
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 (N73). The doors can now be opened again from the
inside.
Emergency opening
The emergency opening function unlocks the doors of the vehicle after an accident. The restraint systems
control unit (N2/7) transmits the corresponding message to the EIS control unit and the central gateway control
unit (N93). After a waiting time of 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.
The trunk lid emergency release switch (S88/10) is located on the inside of the trunk lid and is read in by the
rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2). When actuated, the rear SAM control unit actuates
the trunk lid CL motor (M14/7) to unlock the trunk lid lock. This function is accomplished regardless of the
vehicle speed.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MODEL 221.0 /1 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC [HDFS])
MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 with CODE (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC [HDFS]) up to Model Year 8
Central locking (CL), operation with transmitter key (A8/1) function, general
The operation of the transmitter key comprises the following partial functions:
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.
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:
Model 216:
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:
For further information on visual feedback see separate function description on exterior lights.
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).
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.
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.

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.
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).
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.

hydraulic drive.
Function requirements
Function
Actuation differs only up to the time the request is present at the TLC control unit.
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.
The TCL button is read in directly by the TLC control unit. Momentary actuation is sufficient.
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.
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.

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

(A2/35), left rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/39) and right rear door KEYLESS-GO antenna (A2/41).
The transmitter key then transmits its position to the rear window antenna amplifier module (A2/12) which is
read in by the KEYLESS-GO control unit (N69/5).
When touching the comfort sensor, it transmits a signal to the KEYLESS-GO control unit. The KEYLESS-GO
control unit transmits the signal "Comfort closing" to the following control units via the interior CAN:
The left front door control unit actuates the left front power window motor, the right front door control unit
actuates the right front power window motor, the left rear door control unit actuates the left rear power window
motor and the left rear side window roller sun blind motor and the right rear door control unit actuates the right
rear power window motor and right rear roller sun blind motor to close the side windows and the rear side roller
sun blinds.
The overhead control panel control unit actuates the roof system drive unit to close the tilting/sliding roof.
The panoramic sliding roof control unit actuates the integrated panoramic sliding roof motor, the front roller sun
blind motor and rear roller sun blind motor to close the panoramic sliding roof and the roller sun blinds.
During comfort closing, the roller sun blinds and the rear roller sun blinds are actuated only after the side
windows, the panoramic sliding roof or the tilting/sliding roof are completely closed and a new request is
present.
The convenience function is a manual closing function, i.e. the comfort sensor must be touched during the
entire closing procedure; when the sensor is released, the procedure is stopped.
If during comfort closed or max. t = 2 s after the same KEYLESS-GO door handle is pulled, the emergency
opening function is activated. In this case, the side windows, the tilting/sliding roof or the panoramic sliding
roof are actuated in the opening direction. Actuation is performed for min. t = 2 s or as long as the KEYLESS-
GO door handle is pulled, max. t = 90 s.

Function requirements
Function
When the "Lock or unlock" button on the transmitter key is pressed and held down (t > 1 s), it transmits an
infrared command "Convenience feature" to the driver door infrared sensor. This signal is read in by the left
front door control unit and transmitted to the EIS control unit via interior CAN. The EIS control unit checks the
access authorization of the transmitter key. If the access authorization is valid, the EIS control unit transmits the
"Convenience feature" command via the interior CAN to the door control units, and overhead control panel
control unit which actuate the corresponding motors.
When the "Lock or unlock" button is released, the convenience feature is stopped.
Function requirements
Circuit 15 On
Function
When the recirculated air button in the upper control panel control unit is actuated for longer than 1.5 s, the
"Convenience actuation" command is transmitted to the door control unit and overhead control panel control
unit via the interior CAN. The current positions are stored and convenience closing is performed. When the air
recirculation switch is actuated again for longer than 1.5 s, the corresponding windows and tilting/sliding roof
are automatically moved the position they were in before convenience closing was started.
The convenience feature is immediately stopped when the air recirculation switch is actuated again.
Function requirements
Function
When a comfort sensor is touched (t > 1.5 s), it transmits a signal to the KEYLESS GO control unit. The
Keyless Go control unit then transmits the "Convenience actuation" command to the door control units and
overhead control panel control unit for the duration of the actuation via the interior CAN
If the same door handle is pulled during convenience closing, or max. 2 s thereafter, emergency opening is
activated. Actuation is performed for min. 2 s or as long as the door handle is pulled, max. 90 s.

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW])
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 comprises the following partial functions described in separate documents:
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.

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
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.
Function requirement
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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 corresponding signals from the EIS control unit are read in by the rear SAM control unit, which deactivates
the ATA.
The alarm signal horn with additional battery outputs an acoustic feedback by buzzing once.

Central locking operating properly
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)).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
ATA activated
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)
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.
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.
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.

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 as of model year 09 /YoM 08 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW])
If one of the alarm inputs of the activated ATA exits its non-actuated state, an alarm is triggered.
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)
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.
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:
Alarm is recognized before a wheel looses ground contact when lifting the vehicle.
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.
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.
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)
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).
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.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM SYSTEM TRIGGER, FUNCTION - GF80.50-P-2004SX
MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA [EDW]) up to Model Year 8
Alarm actuation by opening a door, the trunk lid or the engine hood
Function requirements:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

[EDW]) with CODE (763) Radio remote control with panic switch
C. 15C OFF
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:
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:
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.
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).
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.
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.

MODEL 221.0 /1, 216.3 with CODE (494) USA version with CODE (551) Anti-theft alarm system (ATA
[EDW]) with CODE (763) Radio remote control with panic switch up to Model Year 8
Function requirements:
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.
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.

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:
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)

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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
Deactivating circuits
Turning transmitter key back to left switches off the engine. The following functions are implemented in the
EZS control unit:
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
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
power supply voltage is switched to the emergency path. A spring-loaded actuator is actuated in the intelligent
servo module for DIRECT SELECT and the transmission is shifted to the "Park position". The electrical and
mechanical system in the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT are synchronized automatically after
reproducing the functionality.

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

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.

Terminal 15C OFF
Locking/unlocking, general
To open trunk:
TLC button (S62/26) (model 221 with code (881) Remote trunk closing (RTC), 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
Global unlocking:
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:
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:
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)
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.
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:
For further information on visual feedback see separate function description on exterior lights.
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).
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.
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.

Locking possibilities:
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.
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".
Global unlocking
The entire vehicle can be unlocked by gripping and pulling a 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.

The engine start/stop function allows to start and stop the 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
regenerative breaking system (N30/6) (on model 221.095/195))
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.
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).
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.

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:
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.
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.
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".

When doing so, move the torque converter back and forth until the drive spigots of the oil pump
engage in the disengagement shift tubes of the torque converter.
An incorrectly inserted torque converter will be damaged when the transmission is installed, and will
cause damage to the oil pump.
If the torque converter is inserted correctly, the sum (D1+D2) corresponds to the thickness (D3) of the
parallel gauge (01): D1+ D2= D3.
If D1+ D2 D3: remove and insert the torque converter again and check whether it is seated correctly.

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.
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).
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.

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

clutch through a clean cloth.
If there are metal shavings in the cloth: replace the start-up clutch as any remaining metal shavings
will damage the transmission.
4.2 If automatic transmission fluid is burnt or interspersed with abrasive particles: Rinse start-up clutch,
oil cooling lines and oil cooler.
Do not use force, otherwise the axial end stop of the start-up clutch will be irreparably damaged.
When doing so, move the start-up clutch back and forth until the drive spigots of the oil pump engage
in the disengagement shift tubes of the startup clutch.
An incorrectly inserted start-up clutch will be damaged when the transmission is installed, and will
cause damage to the oil pump.

If D1+ D2 is not equal to D3: remove and insert the start-up clutch again and check whether it 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.
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.
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.)
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
Training
We strongly advise that each company should appoint a trained ESD officer in accordance with DIN EN 61340-
5-1.
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
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.
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.
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.
All models
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:
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.

All models
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.
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.
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.
All models
The external differentiation features between these batteries and conventional batteries are:
Black housing

Instead of the acid in a conventional battery, a conductive fabric (bonded fiber) (V) is used.
Special properties:
Distinguishing features
No stop plugs
No acid level markings
No externally vented stop plugs
Information plate on the battery
If the battery is replaced, the vent hose with an elbow to one side of the battery and the stop plugs on the
other side of the battery must be pressed in.
When properly used the high-voltage battery will not present any hazard.
Avoid inhaling any dust, vapors or mist.
Additional information on handling and safety requirements is available in the High-voltage battery safety
data sheet in the Daimler Hazardous Materials Management System http://gms.aftersales.daimler.com.
There is a risk of explosion if mechanical forces or heat act on the high-voltage battery.
Do not subject high-voltage batteries to direct heat, welding and do not throw them into the fire.
Do not exert any pressure on high-voltage batteries and do not deform them.
Improper use can result in leakage, evaporating electrolyte flue gas, and - where ignition sources are
present - fire and explosions.
Ensure that there is always sufficient air exchange and/or evacuation in the working premises.
Wear personal protective equipment (for high-voltage batteries that are not transport protected):
Safety glasses
Because short circuits can result in burns, leakages and risk of explosion, the batteries must never be
stored in bulk containers.
Keep in a cool and well-ventilated location.
Protect against humidity.
Avoid any ingress of the product into the sewage system, water drains or the ground.
The high-voltage battery presents hazardous material and is classified in line with the international dangerous
goods regulations as:
High-voltage batteries may only be transported in compliance with the applicable international and national
dangerous goods regulations for each particular mode of transport.
Each high-voltage battery is to be checked with regard to suitability for transportation before any renewed
transport. High-voltage batteries that have been damaged, are to be classified as NOT safe for transport, where
in conjunction with the transport:
High-voltage batteries safe for transport may only be shipped in the original packaging, insofar as the high-
voltage battery was packed in accordance with the as-delivered condition. The following requirements must at
least be observed:
The high-voltage battery is to be safeguarded against external short circuits, e.g. by using a terminal cap.
All openings on the high-voltage battery, in particular, the coolant connections, must also be sealed.
The high-voltage battery is to be free of any hazardous contamination on the outside.
All requirements with regard to flawless condition of the packaging, the sealing of the packaging using adhesive
tape and dual strapping, the identification of the packaging as per the relevant dangerous goods regulations, as
well as additional requirements with regard to transport must be observed.
High-voltage batteries not safe to transport A high-voltage battery is deemed to be UNSAFE for transport
according to the following criteria:
Visual inspection
Crack in housing
Housing deformed
Housing tarnished.
Electrolyte leakage
High-voltage connection damaged.
High-voltage batteries that are not safe for transport may only be transported in road traffic or maritime traffic
with exemptions issued by the responsible national authorities and in keeping with the systematic application of
the exemption's specified conditions. High-voltage batteries that are not safe for air traffic transport must never
be transported by air!

The release CD is integrated into the DAS-DVD and together with the Workshop Information System DVD is
delivered monthly by the Daimler AG. Delivery is free of charge for the case of repair.
The control unit software of the Release CD can be installed on the hard disk in the case of the "STAR
DIAGNOSIS Compact" diagnosis system.
Installation of the data is not possible in the case of the "STAR DIAGNOSIS Basic" diagnosis system. In this
case, the Release CD must be inserted into the CD or DVD drive.
The information on the Release CD provides a "basic supply" of control unit software for the vehicle. The
current software releases of all programmable control units are located on the Release-CD. An old
software release can therefore be repeatedly replaced (updated) by a new software release.
If a plant service measure requires a change in software release in a programmable control unit, the
workshop can carry out this change with the Release CD.

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.

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.
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.
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).
Product description:
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.
The cavity preservation with wax already performed at the factory completes the corrosion prevention
measures.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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:

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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.

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).
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

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.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL INFORMATION ON BODY REPAIR - AH60.00-N-0001-01A
All models
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 country specific and generally applicable protective equipment/safety information
Repair of damaged body panels is one of the most economical and time-saving measures and is preferable to
replacing assemblies. If repair work is not possible, the connection type priorities should be observed as follows
during the repair:
Paneling
Separating points should not be located in the area of the foam pieces (for exceptions see repair description)
Structural parts
Cut and replace structural parts only at standard joints and service separating points (see repair description)
Ensure on glued multiple-layer sheet metal connections, that the maximum permissible temperature does
not exceed 120 C°. Higher temperatures permanently destroy the glue.
Always check temperature during heating (e.g. temperature measuring instrument, see Gotis).
Always observe detailed work instructions included in gluing set, otherwise secure bonding of the glued
connection cannot be ensured.
Stitch weld
Continuous weld

General information
DIN 8593 describes rivets as non-detachable fasteners for parts of the same or different materials.
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:
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.
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
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.
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.
Steel
Aluminum alloys
Riveting procedure
All models
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.
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.
gotis://K_60-65_17.1
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,
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.
Model 169, 171, 172, 204, 211, 215, 216, 219, 221, 240, 245.2, 414, 636, 639
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
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.
Model 166, 172, 197, 204, 207, 209, 212, 216, 218, 221
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
When a certain temperature is exceeded, the corresponding fields on the temperature measuring strips
change color.
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. Cold fissures
2. Hot fissures
3. Ground fissures
4. Fissures with strong blistering
5. Pores of various sizes
6. Nests of pores
7. Spongy structure
8. Pores with strong blistering
9. Stress
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).
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.
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.
Straightening work
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).
The detailed work description included with glue set must be strictly observed!
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).
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
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.
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.
All EU vehicles
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.
The vehicle identification number starts and ends with the "Mercedes star" trademark (1, 19) and has 19
punched numbers with a total length of 103 mm.
If, in case of repair, the area where the vehicle identification number has been embossed is replaced, it is
necessary to punch in the vehicle identification number at the same point.
This involves a change to the vehicle which is subject to compulsory notification. In the Federal Republic of

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
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:
Access to rooms with explosion-hazard areas must be marked with the proper prohibition sign
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
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
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 %.

BRAKES
BASIC KNOWLEDGE
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE, LOCATION OF COMPONENTS - GF42.20-P-0001-01LE
C. 30 ON
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:
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).
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).
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:
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.
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.
Front wheel "stationary" and rear wheels turn slowly (roller brake test stand)
ESP Off switch (S6/2s11) operated
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.
Function requirement
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.
Function requirement
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).
Function requirement
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 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.
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.
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:
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.
The regenerative braking system control unit is connected to the CAN interconnection of the vehicle via the
chassis CAN (CAN E) and vehicle dynamics CAN (CAN H) and exchanges data with other control units.
The following input signals are evaluated by the regenerative braking system control unit and the corresponding

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.
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
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
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).

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.
Schematic representation
Fig. 12: Identifying Vehicle Understeer & Oversteer

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.
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
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
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:
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:
ASR control
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.
ASR-control
MSR-control
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.
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 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.
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.
The current condition of the ESP can be reported to the driver via the ESP warning lamp.

Task
Recording the rotational speed (yaw angle velocity) of the vehicle about the vertical axis as well as the lateral

The ESP control unit determines the lateral forces at the wheels from the yaw angle velocity, the lateral and

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.

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.

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).
General
The Adaptive Brake (ABR) system assists the driver in dangerous situations which suddenly occur and thus
serves active safety. The ABR system is an electrohydraulic brake system which regulates the braking
requirements for each wheel individually.
For vehicle test purposes the ABR system can be set to dynamometer test mode, if the workshop menu is
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 prevents the drive wheels from spinning while driving. In addition it causes improved driving stability for
increased traction potential over the entire speed range.
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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:
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.
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".
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 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.
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.
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:
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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:
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.
ABR assists the driver in dangerous situations which occur suddenly and thus serves active safety.
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:
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.
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 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.
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 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).
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.

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.
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.

Overview of system components, GF42.47-P-
Adaptive Brake (ABR) 9997LE
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
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).
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
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.
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).
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.
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.
Additional function
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).
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.
Additional 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).
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
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).
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
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):
The following events lead to actuation of the EFB and the Intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT:
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.

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.
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.
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.
The numbering of the bleed screws (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) indicates the opening sequence.
8 Detach bleed hose (02) and bleed wrench (03) and fit caps (10) to bleed screws (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
NIGHT VIEW ASSIST, LOCATION OF COMPONENTS - GF54.30-P-0005-01LE
MODEL 216.3, 221.0 /1 with CODE (610) Night vision assist as of model year 2009 /YoM 08
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.
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).

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 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:
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:
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:
The Night View Assist control unit receives this information via the following:
The Night View Assist control unit receives the data from the rain/ light sensor via the following:
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:
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:
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:
The front SAM control unit receives this "infrared emitters ON" request via the following:
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 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.
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.
Intelligent Nightview (person detection), function (model 221 as of 1.6.09, model 216 as of 1.6.10)
Adaptive high beams function activated (combination switch (S4) in position "high beams")
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.
The Night View Assist control unit monitors the Night View Assist system. Detected malfunctions or faults are
recorded and shown to the driver as fault messages in the multifunction display.
The Night View Assist control unit sends corresponding data via the following:

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.
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.

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).
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:
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).
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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
The recognition of steering patterns is suppressed in the event of a recognized control intervention at one of the
following components:
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.
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.

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).
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).
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.
The Speed Limit Assist function consists of the following partial functions:
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 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").
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.
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.
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.
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.
Changing traffic signs on which the outer circle is missing are not shown either.
Traffic signs erected immediately after junctions, turn-offs which the vehicle takes, can be "missed" by the
multifunction camera.
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.
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.
The sensitivity and dynamics of the multifunction camera is limited. This results in traffic signs not being
recognized under the following conditions:
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.

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).
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:
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
The acoustic indicator and warning messages are issued using the following instrument cluster components:
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:
The messages inserted in the multifunction display are subdivided into four categories corresponding to their
urgency:
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.
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.
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)
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.
(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).
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))
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.
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.
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
system control unit (on model 221.095/195) detects ESP malfunctions, the ABS indicator lamp (A1e17) lights
up and appropriate messages additionally appear in the multifunction display. Fault messages are placed on the
chassis CAN by the ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control
unit (on model 221.095/195). The central gateway control unit passes on all the relevant information to the
instrument cluster via the central CAN.
If there is a fault in the supplemental restraint system, the restraint systems control unit (N2/7) sends
corresponding information via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument
cluster.
The instrument cluster receives this information, actuates the airbag indicator and warning lamp (A1e15) and
issues appropriate messages via the multifunction display.
If a fault is present in the PRE-SAFE system, the left front reversible emergency tensioning retractor (A76) (on
model 221) or the right front reversible emergency tensioning retractor (A76/1) (on model 221) sends
appropriate information via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster receives this information, actuates the airbag indicator and warning lamp
(A1e15) and issues appropriate messages via the multifunction display.
Function sequence for STH warning messages (with code (228) Stationary heater)
The function of the STH is monitored by the STH control unit (A6n1) (model 216) or by STH or ZUH control
unit (A6n1) (model 221).
If the STH control unit detects an error or a malfunction in the STH, it sends a corresponding signal via the
interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster
receives the signal and issues a corresponding message via the multifunction display.
Additional function requirements for tire pressure loss warning (without code (475) Tire pressure
monitor (Premium))
Tire pressure loss warning function sequence (without code (475) Tire pressure monitor (Premium)
A pressure loss at one of the tires is recognized by the change in wheel circumference and the associated change
in wheel speed. If the ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control
unit (on model 221.095/195) detects a pressure loss at a tire, it sends a corresponding signal via the chassis
CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster receives this signal and issues a corresponding message on the multifunction display.
If the RDK control unit (N88) identifies a pressure loss on a tire, it transmits a corresponding signal
The central gateway control unit relays the signal via the central CAN to the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster receives this information, actuates the tire pressure monitor warning lamp (A1e66) and
issues appropriate messages via the multifunction display.
Function sequence for memory adjustment control messages (on model 216, on model 221 with code (275)
Memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors))
When storing a memory position, the left front seat control unit (N32/1) or right front seat control unit (N32/2)
transmits a request to output an acknowledgment tone to the instrument cluster via the interior CAN, central
gateway control unit and central CAN. The instrument cluster receives this request and outputs the
acknowledgment tone.
The information on audio systems fitted in the vehicle is shown in the multifunction display.
Furthermore navigation information is shown in the multifunction display. The instrument cluster receives the
information from the COMAND controller unit (A40/3) via the central CAN.
In addition the telephone book is displayed via the multifunction display and can be processed accordingly. The
COMAND controller unit passes on the required information to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.
Additional function requirements for Keyless-Go control/ warning messages (with code (889) Keyless Go)
Function sequence for Keyless-Go control/warning messages (with code (889) Keyless Go)
If, during a start attempt, the KEYLESS-GO control unit (N69/5) does not recognize a valid transmitter key
(A8/1) or the DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch (S16/13) is not in the "P" or "N" position, a message
appears in the multifunction display. The KEYLESS-GO control unit transmits the corresponding information
via the interior CAN.
The vehicle-related services are shown in the multifunction display. If the emergency call system control unit
(N123/4) establishes a fault on a self-test or if the emergency call system is activated, an appropriate message
appears in the multifunction display. The emergency call system control unit transmits the information
necessary for this via the diagnostic CAN (CAN D), central gateway control unit and central CAN to the
instrument cluster
The steering column tube module (N80) transmits the status of the DIRECT SELECT gear selector switch via
the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit passes on all the relevant information to the instrument
cluster via the central CAN.
(on model 221 without code (487) Active Body Control (ABC), on model 216 with code (489) AIRmatic
(air suspension with continuous damper adjustment))
Circuit 61 ON
The status of circuit 61 is sent by the CDI control unit (N3/9) (with diesel engine) or the ME-SFI [ME]
control unit (with gasoline engine) via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the
instrument cluster.
Function sequence for AIRmatic control/warning messages (on model 221 without code (487) Active
Body Control (ABC), on model 216 with code (489) AIRmatic (air suspension with continuous damper
adjustment))
If the AIRMATIC with ADS control unit (N51) identifies a fault in the AIRMATIC system, it sends
corresponding information via the chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster receives this information and issues corresponding messages via the
multifunction display. There are various system messages or warning messages with different fault priorities. If
several faults exist at the same time, they are all displayed.
Circuit 61 ON
Function sequence for ABC control/warning messages (on model 221 with code (487) Active Body
Control (ABC), on model 216 without code (489) AIRmatic (air suspension with continuous damper
adjustment))
The ABC system offers the driver different vehicle level settings. The set vehicle level is shown in the
multifunction display. Setting is performed via the level control switch (S6/2s10).
It is also possible to change the suspension tuning using the transmission mode button (A40/9s8). The
corresponding selection is shown in the multifunction display as well. The upper control panel control unit
reads in the status of the level control switch and the status of the transmission mode button via the instrument
panel LIN and transmits them on the interior CAN. System and warning messages with operating instructions
for the driver are also shown on the multifunction display. For this purpose, the ABC control unit (N51/2)
transmits corresponding information on the chassis CAN. The central gateway control unit forwards this to the
instrument cluster via the central CAN.

The "trailer recognized" status is transmitted by the trailer recognition control unit (N28/1) on the interior
CAN. The ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit (on
model 221.095/195) sends active ABS/ESP control intervention functions to the instrument cluster via the
chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.
(with code (220) PARKTRONIC or on model 221 as of 1.6.09 and model 216 as of 1.9.10 with code (230)
Exclusive parking assist)
PARKTRONIC:
PARKTRONIC is displayed by means of a bar graph display in the electronic speedometer and on the rear
headliner. In addition an acoustic warning sounds depending on the distance to the obstacle.
The central gateway control unit forwards them to the instrument cluster via the central CAN.
The PARKTRONIC function can be manually deactivated or activated using the PTS OFF switch (S6/2s12).
The light emitting diode in the PTS OFF switch lights up when the PARKTRONIC function is deactivated.
The status of the PTS OFF switch is read in by the upper control panel control unit via the instrument panel LIN
and is passed on to the PTS control unit via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and chassis CAN. As
a result of this the PTS control unit deactivates or activates the PARKTRONIC function.
Parking system (without code (498) Japan version in model 221 as of 1.6.09 or in model 216 as of 1.9.10):
Based on the PARKTRONIC function the parking assist system indicates potential longitudinal parking spaces
in the multifunction display after it has measured them.
If the system measures a possible lengthwise (parallel) parking space, a white highlighted "P" symbol appears in
the multifunction display. Provided that the longitudinal parking space is defined as suitable, a blue stored "P"
symbol with direction arrow appears in the multifunction display.
The PTS control unit transmits corresponding information for this to the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN,
central gateway control unit and central CAN.
Provided that the vehicle has stopped with the usual parking distance to the longitudinal parking space shown
and reverse gear is engaged, the multifunction display in the strip speedometer changes and shows the vehicle
schematically from a bird's eye view in its position relative to the parking space.
Guide lines and steering instructions are displayed to ensure the driver parks the vehicle optimally. The output
of chimes points out
The measurements are made by the outer left front PTS ultrasonic sensor (B8/1) or outer right front PTS
ultrasonic sensor (B8/6), located in the side of the front bumper.
The data from the corresponding PTS ultrasonic sensor are read in and evaluated by the PTS control unit.
The intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80) sends information about the current transmission
selector lever position to the PTS control unit via the drive train CAN (CAN C), ME-SFI [ME] control unit or
CDI control unit and chassis CAN.
(ATA))
Function sequence for ATA control/warning messages (with code (551) Antitheft alarm system (ATA))
The rear SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/2) is the master control unit for the antitheft alarm
system. The rear SAM control unit transmits fault messages and information messages to the instrument cluster
via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN. The instrument cluster receives this data
and then issues corresponding messages on the multifunction display.
Function sequence for Night View Assist warning messages (with code (610) Night View Assist)
The Night View Assist control unit (N101) monitors the Night View Assist function. If the Night View Assist
control unit identifies an error or a malfunction, it sends corresponding information
up to 31.5.09 via the vehicle dynamics CAN, ESP control unit, chassis CAN, central gateway control unit
and central CAN to the instrument cluster.
as of 1.6.09 via chassis CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster receives this data and then issues corresponding messages on the multifunction display.
Vehicle speed v = 80 to 180 km/h (calculated by ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or
regenerative braking system control unit (on model 221.095/195))
Attention assist assists the driver on long monotonous trips 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 are issued by
the instrument cluster.
The ESP control unit (except model 221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit (on model
221.095/195) sends the appropriate request to the instrument cluster via the chassis CAN, central gateway
the driver to take a break, and a warning tone sounds.
An active warning can be confirmed and thus terminated using the OK button (S110s6) on the left
multifunction steering wheel button group (S110). The next warning is only possible after t > 15 minutes. The
status of the multifunction steering wheel button group is made available to the ESP control unit (except model
221.095/195) or the regenerative braking system control unit (on model 221.095/195) via the steering LIN (LIN
E1), steering column tube module and chassis CAN.
Additional function requirements for automatic lane recognition warning messages (as of 1.9.10 with

216 as of 1.9.10 with code (476) Automatic lane recognition or as of 1.9.10 with code (238) Active Lane
Keeping Assist)
The automatic lane recognition function recognizes when the vehicle pulls out of a lane and warns the driver so
that he/she can react accordingly.
The traffic space in front of the vehicle is recorded and evaluated by the multifunction camera (A40/11). As
soon as a front wheel touches or drives over the road marking, the multifunction camera issues the request to
output the haptic warning. This takes place by actuating the steering wheel vibration motor (M99).
The current status of the automatic lane recognition function is shown in the multifunction display.
With code (238) Active Lane Keeping Assist, lane-correcting intervention by the brake system is requested if
the driver does not react fast enough.

The adaptive highbeam function is an assistance function in which the headlamp range of the xenon bulbs is
adapted to the distance of the nearest road user in front or approaching from the opposite direction. The status of
the adaptive high beams function is shown in the multifunction display.
For this purpose, the multifunction camera transmits corresponding information via the chassis CAN, central
gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument cluster.
Function sequence for trailer recognition control/warning messages (on model 221 with code (550)
Trailer hitch)
If the trailer recognition control unit identifies a malfunction in the electrical system (e.g. exterior lights) then a
corresponding signal is relayed via the interior CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN to the
instrument cluster.
The instrument cluster outputs the respective fault message in the multifunction display.
If an open door, open trunk lid or open engine hood (with code (551) Antitheft alarm system (ATA [EDW])) is
detected at a speed of v > 3 km/h, the instrument cluster issues an acoustic warning and displays an appropriate
message in the multifunction display. The following control units provide the status of the doors, trunk lid and
engine hood available via the interior CAN:
Left door control unit (N69/1) (model 216) or left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221): left front
door status
Right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216) or right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221): right
front door status
Left rear door control unit (N69/3) (model 221): left rear door status
Right rear door control unit (N69/4) (model 221): right rear door status
Rear SAM control unit: trunk lid status and engine hood status
The central gateway control unit passes on all the relevant information to the instrument cluster via the central
CAN.
The functions of the relevant exterior lighting (ABL) components are permanently monitored.
If a fault is detected at a component, the monitoring control unit transmits an appropriate signal on the interior
central CAN. The instrument cluster receives this data and issues a corresponding message on the multifunction
display.
The following control units monitor the function of the relevant exterior lighting (ABL) components:
Front SAM control unit with fuse and relay module (N10/1)
Rear SAM control unit
Left door control unit or front left door control unit
Right door control unit or front right door control unit
Trailer recognition control unit (on model 221 with code (550) Trailer hitch)

with integrated asymmetrical curve illumination, model 221 as of 1.6.09, on model 216)
Xenon headlamp control unit (E2n1) at right front lamp unit (E2) (on model 221 up to 31.5.09 with code
(615) Bi-xenon headlamp unit with integrated curve illumination or code (616) Bi-xenon headlamp unit
with integrated asymmetrical curve illumination, model 221 as of 1.6.09, on model 216)
On model 216, model 221 (as of 1.6.09) and model 221 with code (615) Bi-xenon headlamp unit with
integrated curve illumination or code (616) Bi-xenon headlamp unit with integrated asymmetrical curve
illumination) (up to 31.5.09), the xenon headlamp control unit at the left front lamp unit and the xenon
headlamp control unit at the right front lamp unit monitor the cornering lights and dynamic curve illumination
functions.
If a xenon headlamp control unit identifies a fault or the failure of a relevant component, it sends corresponding
information via the front end CAN (CAN G), central gateway control unit and central CAN to the instrument
cluster. The instrument cluster receives this data and then issues corresponding messages on the multifunction
display.
Standing lights ON
Driver door OPEN
Transmitter key removed
The logic for actuating the lights on reminder warning function is stored in the instrument cluster. The front
SAM control unit transmits the status "Standing lights actuation active" to the instrument cluster via the interior
CAN, central gateway control unit and central CAN.
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.
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.
If the transmitter key is removed from the EIS [EZS] control unit when the rear fog light actuation is active, and
then the driver door is opened, the instrument cluster actuates the warning buzzer and issues a corresponding
message on the multifunction display. The request to deactivate rear fog light actuation prevents the rear fog
light actuation from being activated automatically the next time the vehicle is driven with the low beams
switched on.
If the electric parking brake switch (S76/15) is activated at a speed of v > 5 km/h or the electric parking brake
controller unit (A13) detects a fault in the system, the instrument cluster actuates the electric parking brake
warning light (red) and issues a chime as well as a corresponding message in the multifunction display. The
electric parking brake controller unit reads in the status of the electric parking brake switch and transmits this as
well as system fault messages to the instrument cluster via the front end CAN, central gateway control unit and
central CAN.
Additional function requirements for speed warning (with code (623) Gulf States version)
Vehicle speed warning function sequence (with code (623) Arab States of the Gulf version)
At speeds of v > 120 km/h, the instrument cluster issues a warning by means of:
The instrument cluster calculates the vehicle speed from the wheel speeds that are provided by the ESP control
unit (except model 221.095/195) or by the regenerative braking system control unit (on model 221.095/195) via
the chassis CAN and forwarded by the central gateway control unit on the central CAN.
If, immediately prior to starting a journey or during a journey, a seat belt is detected to be not fitted, the
instrument cluster issues a country-specific optical and acoustic seat belt reminder warning. The instrument
cluster reads in the following information in order to issue the country-specific seat belt reminder warning:
Internal:
Vehicle speed
From WSS (weight sensing system) control unit (N2/13) (model 221 with code (494) USA version up to
31.8.08):

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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:
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
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.
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.
Additional function requirements for windshield washer system fluid level warning messages
Function sequence for windshield washer system fluid level warning messages
The fluid level in the washer fluid reservoir is monitored by the windshield washer system fluid level indicator
switch (S42). The status of the windshield washer system fluid level indicator 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 this signal and issues a corresponding message on the multifunction display.
Acoustic feedback about the active turn signal light actuation is realized by the acoustic turn signal indicator
integrated into the instrument cluster.
Visual feedback takes place via the left turn signal indicator lamp and right turn signal indicator lamp.
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)
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.
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.
Function sequence for ECO start/stop function (with code (B03) ECO start/stop function)
The ECO start/stop function can be activated or deactivated using a menu in the instrument cluster.
The status of the ECO start/stop function is signaled by the ECO indicator in the multifunction display.
The request for this is sent by the ME-SFI [ME] control unit via the central CAN to the central gateway control
unit and from there via the chassis CAN to the instrument cluster. The ECO indicator can be displayed in two
colors:

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
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.
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.
Fig. 32: Schematic Representation Of Adjust Switch And Controls Illumination Duty Cycles
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
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 %.
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 some indicator and warning lamps a fault message in the multifunction display ensues at the same time
as actuation. While most of the messages can be acknowledged, the indication and warning lamps remain lit as
long as the fault is present. Messages cannot be acknowledged.
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
Priority 2
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.
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.
Except for a few exceptions fault messages are first displayed when the engine is running. Current fault
messages are faded in immediately.
With "circuit 15 OFF" the faults are stored in an error list and a displayed again as a reminder.
Warning message of priority 1, car is too low, shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06
Warning message of priority 2, washer fluid level, shown on model 221 up to 31.8.06
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.
For acoustic fault and warning signals 2 different sound patterns are available to the instrument cluster (A1). On
the one hand the instrument cluster generates chime. The chime is emitted via the internal speaker. On the other
hand the instrument cluster can produce and output a warning tone (audible beep) via the internal warning
buzzer (A1h1). The warning tones can be output as a single chime or single beep as well as intermittent chime
or intermittent beep. The audible turn signal indicator (A1h2) with turn signal knocking forms an exception.
This is produced via a relay located in the instrument cluster and is actuated depending on the function (turn
signaling or hazard warning flasher).
Turn signal knocking always sounds at the same time as hazard warning flashing. The following functions can
trigger hazard warning flashing:

General
The electronic speedometer is used to display vehicle speed. The electronic speedometer is displayed in the
multifunction display.
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.
The wheel speeds from the following sensors are evaluated to calculate the vehicle speed:
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.
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).
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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).
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:
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.
Circuit 61 ON
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.
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.
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.
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.
The instrument cluster calculates the travel distance from the signals received from the RPM sensors taking the
tire circumference into consideration.
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 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.
The current reading of the trip odometer is likewise stored in the nonvolatile memory of the instrument cluster.
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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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 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
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:
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.
When the coolant temperature is < 60 °C, the current outside temperature value is displayed continuously when
the instrument cluster is activated.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.

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
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

It shows the driver the engaged gear "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7".
The arrows in the gear indicator show the driver which permissible gear selector switch position he can
change to. The decisive factor here is whether the speed, at which the vehicle is moving, is under or above the
speed threshold of 5 km/h.
It indicates to the driver the program selection (S16/5) program selection "S" (Sport-program), "C" (comfort

The comfort displays provide a fast overview of the information, which is not required to operate the vehicle.
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:
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:
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.
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.
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)
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.
The following events will activate the background illumination of the multifunction display and the scale
illumination of the instrument cluster:
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.
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).
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 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 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 travel distance is calculated in the instrument cluster from the wheel speeds.
The wheel speeds are recorded by the following components:
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:
When changing over from kilometers to miles a changeover from liters to gallons also takes place
automatically.
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.
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)
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:
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.
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-
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.
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.

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).
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 instrument cluster requires the instrument cluster/ COMAND display additional fan for cooling. This is
fitted on the side of the air conditioning. The instrument cluster/ COMAND display additional fan has no
influence on the displays in the instrument cluster.
The COMAND display is located centrally above the upper control panel control unit next to the instrument
cluster.
Task
The main task of the COMAND display is the uniform display of user-relevant operation/information windows
as well as the display of video picture information of the following systems:

The rear roller blind function is available as standard equipment on model 221.1 and available on model
221.0 with code (540) Electric rear window roller blind or with code (498) Japan version.
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.

Circuit 15 On
The status of circuit 15 is transmitted by the EIS [EZS] control unit (N73) via the interior CAN.
The left fanfare horn (H2) and right fanfare horn (H2/1) are the audible warning system on the vehicle.
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.

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):
The bearing shells are marked on the side in color. Letters for assigning the bearing shells to the bottom part
of the crankcase are included on the crankshaft journal. Select the bearing shells to match the letters.
Shown on engine 137
ENGINE 273
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!
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!
Example:
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
crankshaft bearing cap (3).
Fourth letter "w ": A crankshaft bearing shell with the color coding white must be inserted in the
crankshaft bearing cap (4).
Fifth letter "r ": A crankshaft bearing shell with the color coding red must be inserted in the
crankshaft bearing cap (5).

2. Lubricate top crankshaft bearing shells (1) with the oil holes (2) and the oil grooves (3) and insert in the
crankcase.
When doing this ensure that the anti-twist locks (4) for the bearing shell halves (1) are located in the
recesses of the crankcase.
3. Lubricate lower crankshaft bearing shell (7) and insert in the crankshaft bearing cap (6).
When doing this, ensure that the anti-twist locks (5) of the bottom bearing shell halves (7) are located
in the recesses of the crankshaft bearing cap (6).

There is only one fitted bearing width therefore only one washer disc thickness is used.
The oil grooves of the thrust washers (8) must point toward the crankshaft webs (10).
When installing the fit bearing cap (3) hold both thrust plates (8) tight. The anti-twist locks (11) of the lower
thrust plates (8) must be located in the slots (12) of the fit bearing cap (3).
The oil grooves (9) of the lower thrust plates (8) must point toward the crank webs (10).

DIAMETER OF THE CRANKSHAFT FLANGE ALTERED - BT03.20-P-0003-01A
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.

Overview of system components, GF88.79-P-
electric outside mirrors 9997LE
The outside mirror heater keeps the mirror glasses free of ice and fog.
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)".

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:
C. 15R On
Vehicle speed v < 47 km/h
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.
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)
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.

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.
Function requirements
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.

Function in COMAND controller unit (A40/3) activated
Position measurement supplies valid readings
To monitor the curb while backing up, a park position of the right electrically adjustable and heated outside
mirror (M21/2) can be stored and actuated electrically.
The function of the passenger side outside mirror park position comprises the following subfunctions:
The status reverse gear engaged is transmitted by the intelligent servo module for DIRECT SELECT (A80) via
the drive CAN to the CDI control unit (N3/9) (on diesel engine) or ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) (on gasoline
engine) and from there to the central gateway control unit (N93) via the chassis CAN. The signal is transmitted
from the central gateway control unit to the right front door control unit (N69/2) (model 221) or right door
control unit (N69/2) (model 216) via the interior CAN and the right outside mirror is adjusted to the stored park
position.
First adjust desired position of the right outside mirror manually via the outside mirror adjustment rocker switch
(S20/1s12).
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.
The right outside mirror is automatically returned to the original position, when:
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 221.0 /1 with CODE (249) Automatically dimming inside rearview mirror and outside mirror
(driver) as of model year 09 /YoM 08
Function requirements
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
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.

MODEL 221.0 /1 with CODE (275) Memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors) as of model
year 09 /YoM 08
C. 15R On
To increase comfort, it is possible to store the mirror position together with the seat and steering column
positions.
The function store /call outside mirror position comprises the following partial functions:
Three memory locations can be assigned manually with the left front seat adjustment group (S22).
For this purpose press memory switch (S22s6) and hold down, parallel to this momentarily press one of the
following switches:
The signal for storage request is relayed by the left front door control unit (N69/1) (model 221) or left door
control unit (N69/1) (model 216) to the left front door control unit (N32/1) via the interior CAN. It transmits the
storage request to store the position data to the left door control unit and right front door control unit (N69/2)
(model 221) or right door control unit (N69/2) (model 216).
When switching off the motor (as of c. 15C) and when the driver door is closed, the current position of the
left outside mirror and right outside mirror is stored automatically in the corresponding door control unit.
The position of the steering column and driver seat are stored and an acknowledgment tone sounds in the
instrument cluster (A1).
The position stored in the left door control unit and right door control unit can be called via the left front seat
operation switch group.
For this purpose, press desired memory switch 1, 2 or 3. The left seat control unit receives the request by the left
door control unit via the interior CAN and relays it to the left door control unit and right door control unit via
the interior CAN.
The left door control unit actuates the left outside mirror and right door control unit actuates the right outside
mirror as long as the memory switch 1, 2, 3 is pressed or the end position for the memory location selected is
reached.
The steering column and driver seat are moved to the associated memory positions for the selected memory
location at the same time when the outside mirror positions are retrieved.
The last position of the driver seat, steering column and outside mirror is adjusted as of circuit 15C ON.

right electrically adjustable and heated outside mirror (M21/2):
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.
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.

1. Loosen nut on ground line (1) and remove ground line (1) from negative terminal of on-board electrical
system battery (G1).
Installation: Ensure that the ground line (1) is seated tightly, otherwise the electrical system may be
damaged.
2. Using a diode test lamp, check the electrical system for voltage between the positive line of the on-board
electrical system battery (G1) and the disconnected ground line (1).
If the diode test lamp lights up, the on-board electrical system is still active because of a defect in the
electrical system.
In this case the ground line of the additional battery should be disconnected.
After this the electrical system is to be repaired upon completion of the work carried out.

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.
All test steps and entries must be performed thoroughly, otherwise the test result will be distorted.
Test prerequisites:
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).
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.

5. Follow the menu selection and select the test standard for the cold cranking amps.
The test standard is printed on behind the specification of the cold cranking amps.
If the imprint of the test standard is not available, select the cold cranking amps "EN".
The battery test starts after confirmation of the cold cranking amps entry.
The test result or one of the following messages appears after approx. 15 s:

Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
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).

Function requirements
General
The ETC simplifies the process of payment on toll roads. It settles payment procedures automatically without
the driver having to stop the car.
The ETC has its own power supply. However, voice output is not possible when the COMAND controller
unit is switched off.
Function sequence
The Electronic Toll Collection antenna (ETC) (A2/94) and Electronic Toll Collection control unit (ETC)
(A50/3) are installed in the vehicle for transmitting and receiving the data. The Electronic Toll Collection
control unit (ETC) communicates with the toll booth over the ETC antenna. 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. 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).
Location
The electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit is attached to a bracket and installed in the glove compartment
together with the bracket.
Tasks
The Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC) was developed to make payment easier on toll roads. A separate
electronic toll collection (ETC) antenna (A2/94) 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.
Location
The electronic toll collection (ETC) antenna is installed on the dashboard behind the windshield on a bracket.
Tasks
The electronic toll collection (ETC) antenna transmits and receives the Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC)
signals to/from the toll collection center that are processed by the electronic toll collection (ETC) control unit
(A50/3).

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The following functions are possible using the left steering wheel gear shifter and right steering wheel gear
shifter:
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.

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
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:
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.
After several unsuccessful attempts to establish a connection, the emergency call system control unit stops
trying to establish an emergency call.

Function requirements
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:
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.

Irrespective of the type of emergency call, a voice connection to the Customer Assistance Center (CAC) is
established immediately after the SMS has been transmitted (not with Advanced Mobile Phone System
(AMPS)) and the user can talk to a service receptionist. Both, the emergency call and the information service
are free services provided by Mercedes-Benz customer support. The hands-free system microphone group
(A67b1) is used for voice input. Voice output is performed exclusively over the cockpit center speaker
(centerfill) (H4/27). The center cockpit speaker (centerfill) is actuated via a discrete line by the emergency call
system control unit (N123/4).
On model 221 up to 31.8.06, voice input is conducted over the 4 microphones integrated in the hands-free
system microphone group in the inside rearview mirror unit (A67). On model 221 as of 1.9.06 and on model

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).
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

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).
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:
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
The state displays provide the driver with an overview of the TELE AID status. This can be seen by the state
display of the SOS pushbutton switch either flashing on and off or being illuminated continuously.
MODEL 221.0 /1 with CODE (389) Mobile phone preinstallation with universal interface, USA/Canada
up to Model Year 8
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.
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.
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.
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:
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 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.

The "vehicle remote door lock request" is received by the communication module integrated into the emergency
call system control unit via the following route:
After receiving the "Vehicle remote door lock request", the emergency call system control unit transfers the
request to the EIS [EZS] control unit via the following route:
Diagnostic CAN
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:

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
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:
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
Vehicle tracking
No fault in GPS antenna systems and signals from at least 3 GPS satellites
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.
For basic position finding, the emergency call control unit requires the following information:
The wheel speed signals are detected by the following RPM sensors:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Actuation
To track the vehicle, the function has to be activated first. The following possibilities exist to do this:
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).

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.

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 .
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.
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:

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. 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.
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).
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.
CARRYING OUT THE BLEEDING PROCESS FOR THE LOW TEMPERATURE CIRCUIT -
AR20.00-P-1145-03R
1. Connect venturi nozzle (6) with vacuum box (1) connection (U) to connection (G).
2. Generate vacuum in vacuum box (1) - open valve (H).
Actuate circulation pump for low-temperature circuit. Switch on switch on relay slot.
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.
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.
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.
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.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
HEATING SYSTEM SHUTOFF VALVE, COMPONENT DESCRIPTION - GF20.00-P-2200AMG
Location
The shutoff valve is located at the rear on the right cylinder head.
Task
To warm up the engine quickly following a cold start, the shutoff valve can close off the coolant circuit to the
heating system.
Design
The shutoff valve consists of a solenoid with a coil resistance of around 12 ohms at 25 °C.
Function
The heating system shutoff valve is actuated by the ME-SFI control unit (N3/10) via a ground signal if required.
The shutoff valve is opened without a current.
If the vehicle heater is switched on, the shutoff valve is always open (not actuated).
Location
The heating system shutoff valve is located behind the left cylinder bank at the coolant outlet of the engine.
Task
To rapidly warm up the engine following a cold start, locks the coolant circuit to the heat exchangers. When the
vehicle heater is switched on, the valve is always open.
Function
The heating system shutoff valve is actuated by the ME control unit via a ground signal. The valve is opened
without a current. The coil resistance at room temperature is approx. 12.
Location
Task
independently of the control.
Function
Voltage supply to terminal 87, actuation of the heating element on the ground side of the ME control unit. The
opening cross-section is set via the operating time.
Location
Fig. 85: Identifying Two-Disk Thermostat And Two-Disk Thermostat Heating Element
Courtesy of MERCEDES-BENZ USA
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).
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL NOTES: PASSENGER CARS: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - ENGINE - AH15.00-Z-9999AZ
MODEL all
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.
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.
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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
SAFETY INFORMATION: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - ENGINE - AS15.00-Z-9999ZZ
MODEL all
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
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.
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.
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.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION FOR SPARK PLUGS - GF15.10-P-2000AMG
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).
Location
In the cylinder head, each cylinder has a spark plug located in the center between the engine valves.
Task
The compressed fuel-air mixture is combusted by sparks between the electrodes according to the actuation from
the ME control unit.
Design
In the manufacturer's specific type symbols, all the spark plug features are assigned (e. g. heat rating, shape of
seating, thread, width across flats, electrode material, spark position).
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.
Location
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.
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.
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.

central electrode and ground electrode.
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 angle is continuously retarded for about 20 seconds in order to warm up the catalytic
converter more rapidly to its operating temperature, if:
At the same time idle speed is increased by the idle speed control.
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).
When combustion is restored (actuation of the fuel injectors), the ignition angle is briefly retarded in
order to prevent a sudden increase in torque.
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.
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.
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.
If uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs at one or several cylinders, the ignition angle at the
relevant cylinder or cylinders is "retarded".
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.
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.

The ME-SFI control unit essentially analyzes the following signals for determining the ignition angle:
Air mass
Position and RPM of crankshaft
Positions of intake camshafts
Positions of exhaust camshafts
Coolant temperature
Intake air temperature
Knock sensor signals
Intake manifold air pressure
Engine torque requests
The ME-SFI [ME] control unit interrupts the respective ignition coil at the moment of the ignition timing of the
primary circuit to "terminal 1".
For the following partial functions an ignition angle adjustment in the direction "retarded" or "advanced" can
take place:
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:
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 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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Any vibrations which occur are converted with the aid of the piezo ceramic into electrical signals.
Piezo-electric effect: If a mechanical force acts on a crystal, electrical voltages are produced.
Knock sensor signals may also indicate engine damage, e.g. increased engine noise resulting from a widened
piston groove.

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.
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.
Change of ignition
Ignition offset
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Electrical structure:
The DC converter is built discretely out of condensers, coils, transistors etc.. The DC voltages so generated
have a load dependent duty cycle of about 10 to 90%, while the frequency is about 20 kHz (180 volts) and 65
kHz (23 volts).
The ECI ignition system power pack is fitted with an electronic overload protection for the voltages 180 volts
and 23 volts. The outputs are switched off if a short-circuit or overload situation arises. They will remain locked
out until the ignition is switched on again.
Protection of the battery voltage which is looped to the ignition modules takes place on the vehicle side.
Mechanical structure:
The ignition must not be switched on without an earth connection to the power pack for the ignition system ECI
is order to avoid any damage occurring. The earth connection is achieved over the housing.

An L/C/R coil/condenser/resistance) - oscillating circuit with control and regulating circuit generates a 180 volt
AC voltage (primary voltage) for every spark plug. This is then stepped up in the ignition coils above in the
spark plug sockets to create the ignition voltage (secondary voltage).
Once ignition has taken place there is then a switch-over to the auxiliary voltage of about 23 volts. This is used
to measure the ion currents at the spark plugs.
The ion current signal is decoupled in the ignition module, filtered and then transferred over a screened cable to
the ME control unit.
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.
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:
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.

Starter control actuates the starter and provides the circuit (terminal 50) when the engine speed is achieved to
the starter solenoid switch (starter disconnection).
By operating the ignition start switch on the EIS control unit, from position "2" (ignition ON) to position
"3" (START), the ME control unit detects the start
The solenoid switch of the starter is actuated by the ME-SFI 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-SFI 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

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.
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.
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:
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:
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:
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.

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 local
interconnect network is used as the alternator interface between the engine control unit and the alternator. The
LIN bus is a bidirectional single-wire interface with a maximum transfer rate of 20 kbit/s.
Messages between the engine control unit and the alternator are exchanged via the alternator interface. This

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.
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
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.
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.
1. Outlet of air through prechamber or spark plug bore of adjacent cylinder or cylinders, air bubbles
in coolant expansion reservoir:
2. Outlet of air through air intake area: For inspecting by listening, open throttle valve
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.

With OM 642 the engine number is located on the left front on the cylinder crankcase below the vacuum
pump
With OM 651 the engine number is located on the left side on the cylinder crankcase below the vacuum
pump
Individual blank points, e.g. in middle of cylinder or in area of cylinder head bolts.
Reuse crankcase.

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.

Visible imprints in the upper and lower piston ring reversal range are not a reason for complaint.
Reuse crankcase.
Fig. 4: Identifying Ring Shaped Imprints

Usually starting from the first piston ring, in the upper area of cylinder, with measurable partial cylinder
wear.
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.
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.
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 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.
Visible in the upper and lower reversal range of piston rings, are not a reason for complaint.
Brown coloration (oil varnish) over large areas of the cylinder barrel indicates that the engine has been driven at
a high temperature level. This is normal and not a cause for complaint.
Individual blank points, e.g. in middle of cylinder or in area of cylinder head bolts. An all-round impression at
the piston ring reversing point above and below.
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.
The cooling bore in the crankcase shows a different coloration to the cylinder barrel.
A washboard type surface structure of the cylinder barrel, partially or all around.
Material deposits and perceptible scoring marks on cylinder wall and at piston skirt.

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
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.
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:
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:

The above reconditioned engines are equipped with these harder valve seat inserts and therefore can be operated

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).
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.

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).
This causes the quadrant (01z) to arrest the tooth flanks (2a, 2b) on the camshaft adjuster (2) in
relation to one another.
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).

filled valves. Risk of injury caused
by skin contact with sodium
resulting in heat or chemical
burns.
Potential risks
Risk of explosion
Sodium has a very low self-ignition temperature (121 °C) and may spontaneously ignite in moist air.
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.
Remove sodium, treat the injured area with an oily solution, e.g. Biseptol and consult a physician.

BASIC KNOWLEDGE
ADJUSTABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING SOLENOID, COMPONENT DESCRIPTION - GF05.20-P-
2100AMG
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
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.
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.
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".
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.
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
DISPOSAL OF SODIUM-FILLED VALVES - OS05.30-P-0001-01A
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.
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.
