are not covered by the MERCEDES-BENZ Limited Warranty.
For model year 1986, all gasoline models except 190 E 2.3 require premium unleaded gasoline. As
of model year 1987, all gasoline engines require premium unleaded gasoline
Use only premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number posted at
the pump must be at least 91 min. In the U.S., this octane number is an average of the Research
octane number (R) and the Motor octane number (M): (R + M) / 2. The octane number is also
known as the Anti-Knock Index.
CAUTION! To maintain the engine's durability and performance, only premium unleaded gasoline
is to be used. If premium unleaded is not available and low octane gasoline is used, follow these
precautions:
- Partially fill the fuel tank with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with premium unleaded
gasoline as soon as possible.
- Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. Do not exceed an engine speed of 2000 rpm if
the vehicle has a light load (two occupants and no luggage for example). Do not exceed 2/3 of
maximum accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous
terrain.
Model years 1975 - 1985 and model year 1986 model 190 E 2.3

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation Air-Flow Position Sensor Indicator
Fig. 5 Air Flow Sensor Position Indicator
The air-flow sensor position indicator is a potentiometer which informs the CIS-E control unit of the
need for extra enrichment during cold-engine part-throttle acceleration. The potentiometer signals
how fast and how far the sensor plate moves as air flow increases. This prevents the familiar "flat
spot" that accompanies an abrupt opening of the throttle valve. The potentiometer operates with a
constant voltage of approx. 8 volts supplied by the ECU. During acceleration, the movement of the
sensor plate produces an output (voltage) signal which is transmitted to the ECU via the
potentiometer contacts. From this input, the ECU calculates the need for enrichment and sends a
compensating voltage to the electro-hydraulic actuator. For approx. 1 second, the current to the
actuator increases which allows more fuel to be injected into the cylinders. The greatest enrichment
takes place when the engine is cold; partial enrichment when the engine is cool and no enrichment
when the engine is above 175°F.

Figure 2 and C, Figure 4).
Tightening torque: 7.5 + 0.5 N-m
CAUTION:
The threads of the service valves are treated with a chemical thread locker, which becomes
effective after 15 minutes. When installing the hose, make certain that the hose and service valve
do not come in contact with any moving parts. Removal of the service valve beyond this time span
is not possible.
Note:
The adapter hose (4, Figure 7) is designed for use in areas with difficult access to the service
valve. Additionally, depending on the application (high- or low-pressure side), the standard service
valve with respective protective cap (Figure 5) must be installed on the open end of the adapter
hose (circle, Figure 7).
CAUTION
Be careful not to mix up low-pressure (blue) and high-pressure (red) service valve caps when
installing the service valves into A/C lines.

Diagram Information and Instructions
Power Mirror Switch: Diagram Information and Instructions
How to Use Information In Diagrams
How to Read Schematic Diagrams:
Electrical components which work together are shown together. Schematic drawings are arranged
so that current flows from positive at the top of the screen/page, to negative at the bottom. Fuses
are shown at the top of the screen/page. All wires, connectors, switches, and motors are shown in
the flow of current to ground at the bottom of the screen/page. The "hot" labels appearing at the top
of fuses or components show the Ignition Starter/Switch positions which supply power to the point.
(See Circuit Identification).
The terminal number "30" appearing on the Ignition/Starter Switch and Exterior Lamp Switch
means that these terminals are always supplied with power. The terminal number "15" on the
Ignition/Starter Switch means that this terminal is supplied with power only when the Ignition/Starter
Switch is in the "Run" or "Start" positions.
Component and Wire Representation:
All wiring between components is shown exactly as it exists on the vehicle. Wiring inside
complicated components has been Simplified to aid in understanding their electrical operation.
Transistorized components are shown as plain boxes labeled with a solid state symbol. Switches
and sensors are shown "at rest," as if the Ignition Starter/Switch were off. Notes are included which
describe how switches and other components work.
Circuits Which Share Power and/or Grounds:
Each circuit is shown completely on one schematic diagram. Wires common to different schematics
are cross referenced and marked with arrows. To find other circuits which might share fuse
terminals or screw terminal blocks, look on the Power Distribution or Fuse Block Details
schematics. To find other circuits which might share connections to ground terminals, look on the
Ground Distribution schematics. (See Starting and Charging, Power and Ground Distribution)
The Power Distribution diagrams show connections from the Battery and Alternator to the fuses,
and to the Ignition Starter/Switch and Exterior Lamp Switch. This will tell you how each circuit gets
its power, and what circuits share common fuses. Ground Distribution diagrams show how several
circuits are connected to common grounds.
Component Identification:
Component names are found underlined next to or above each component. Above the component
name, you will find a Component Identification Code Number.

The control unit processes the vehicle deceleration during a frontal collision and is rigidly coupled
on a support bracket with the transmission tunnel of the vehicle (as before). By means of an
integral safety switch which interrupts the ignition circuits for the driver airbag and belt tensioner
restraint system during normal driving, the airbag and belt tensioners can only be triggered by an
actual acceleration. This prevents any malfunctions.
An acceleration sensor installed in the control unit detects the deceleration acting on the vehicle in
the longitudinal direction and sends an appropriately conditioned signal to the trigger switches for
evaluation. If the fixed triggering thresholds of both trigger switches are exceeded, the output
stages are activated as is appropriate for the circumstances detected via the belt buckle switch
(buckle latch in/not in belt buckle) This results in triggering of the system (see table below). If the
power supply is interrupted during a collision, the driver airbag can still be triggered within 100 ms,
but not the two belt tensioners. The warning lamp lights up if the vehicle voltage is < 9.5 V for longer
than 10 s. The lamp goes out at a voltage > 10 V .
The housing and the electrical connections have been designed in such a way as to virtually
exclude malfunctions due to electrical interference in the vehicle electrical system caused by the
switching of electric consumer units on and off, and by electromagnetic radiation on public
highways.

Preliminary Check
Preliminary Check
On models equipped with electronic level controls, ensure proper system operation prior to
adjusting wheel alignment.
Front Camber & Caster
The front axle provides for combined camber and caster adjustment. Both wheel adjustments can
be made together. Adjustments are made by means of eccentric bolts at the lower control arm
bearing and brake support ball pin supporting joint. To adjust eccentric bolt on lower control arm
bearing, loosen hex nut, then tighten hex nut while applying counter hold to eccentric bolt. When
increasing camber on eccentric bolt, caster will also increase. When decreasing camber, caster will
also decrease. To adjust supporting joint ball pin, loosen clamp and turn ball pin in supporting tube
(ball pin is right hand threaded). Turning outward will increase caster, turning inward will decrease
caster. When increasing caster, camber will decrease, when decreasing caster, camber will
increase. On 300E & TE w/4MATIC camber cannot be adjusted using the control arm eccentric
bolts. Additional adjustment is available at the mounting of the strut to the steering knuckle.
Toe-In
Toe-In
Toe-in is the difference between the distance of the front end of the front wheels to the rear wheels
measured at the rim flanges. The elastic support of the control arms requires a higher toe-in value,
which is reduced to the correct size when driving. When measuring toe-in, spread wheels apart
using a suitable wheel spreading tool. This will eliminate any elasticity in steering linkage. Adjust
toe-in to specifications.

Service and Repair
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair
Brake fluid: Use specified brake fluid only.
Important note: handle brake fluid with care. Fill brake fluid only into container from which the fluid
cannot be consumed by mistake (fatal dose 100 cc). Even slight traces of mineral oil will lead to
failure of brake system. When brake fluid is from colourless up to yellow, particular attention is
required since in such a case the risk of making a mistake is the highest. If mineral oil is found in
brake system or if the presence of mineral oil is suspected, thoroughly flush entire brake system
with brake fluid. Also renew main cylinder. Do not permit brake fluid to come into contact with paint
work of vehicle, since the fluid contains constituents, which act as solvents for the paint work.
Brake fluid is highly hygroscopic, that is, fluid will take up moisture from the air, so that the boiling
point will be reduced. For this reason, store brake fluid in well sealed storage containers only.
Note. During its service life the boiling point of the brake fluid will go down as a result of constant
absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. When the brakes are sharply applied, there is a
possibility of vapor lock in brake system. For this reason, change the brake fluid once a year, if
possible in spring. To facilitate inspections, attach a new sticker to brake unit following each
change of brake fluid, indicating year and month of next change.
Attention: The 4.piston fixed caliper, installed starting September 1985, has one vent screw each
inside and outside. For venting brake system, or for replacing brake fluid, remove front wheels so
that the outer pressure chamber can also be vented.
Bleeding 1. When using a bleeding unit, observe operating instructions of pertinent manufacturer.
To remove all air bubbles from tandem main cylinder, be
sure to step down fully on brake pedal at least 3 times while bleeding, with bleed screws of brake
pedal opened,
2. When bleeding by "pumping" the brake pedal, close the respective bleeder plug each time prior
to releasing the brake pedal, so that no air will
enter through the threads of the bleeder plug.
Note: Slowly retract brake pedal, so that enough brake fluid is drawn from expansion tank during
piston return stroke.
3. Stop bleeding when clear brake fluid, free of bubbles, emerges from bleeding hose.
Attention: Do not use the pumped-out brake fluid again, since it may contain foreign bodies, which
will then again enter the brake system.
4. Fill expansion tank with brake fluid up to "maximum" mark.
Renewing (changing) the brake fluid 5. Pump empty or draw fluid out of expansion tank down to a
fluid level of approx. 10 mm.
Attention: Do not empty expansion tank completely, so that no air can enter the brake system.
Renewing (changing) the brake fluid with bleeding unit: Permit approx. 80 cc of brake fluid to flow
out at each brake caliper, so that the lines and the pressure cylinders of the brake calipers will also
be filled with fresh brake fluid. Renewing (changing) the brake fluid without bleeding unit: Fill
expansion tank with fresh brake fluid up to "maximum" mark. Pump used brake fluid out of each
brake caliper with approx. 10 pump strokes each. Top up brake fluid,
Note: For both kinds of renewal, brake fluid should flow out through vent hose clear and free of
bubbles.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
Oxygen Sensor (Three-Wire Type)
Oxygen Sensor With Internal Heater
An oxygen (Lambda) sensor located in the exhaust system upstream of the catalytic converter is
used to provide more precise control of air/fuel mixtures. This system operates by measuring
oxygen content in exhaust gases, as the amount of oxygen remaining in the exhaust gas is directly
proportional to the air/fuel ratio of mixtures entering the engine. The sensor, mounted in the
exhaust stream, reacts to the oxygen remaining in the exhaust gases and produces a variable
voltage signal (0.4 - 1.0 vdc) depending upon the oxygen content.

1. Gasoline Engines
Reformulated gasolines (RFG) and/or unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as Ethanol,
TAME, ETBE, IPA, IBA and TBA can be used provided that the ratio of any one of these
oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10 percent. MTBE may be added up to 15 percent. The
ratio of Methanol to gasoline must not exceed 3% plus additional co-solvents.
Mixtures of Ethanol and Methanol must not be used. Gasohol, which contains 10% Ethanol and
90% unleaded gasoline, can also be used. These blends must also meet all other fuel
requirements such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc.
Gasoline Additives
A major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build-up caused by gasoline.

MERCEDES-BENZ recommends to use only quality gasoline containing additives that prevent the
build up of carbon deposits.
After an extended period of using fuels without such additives, carbon deposits can build up,
especially on the intake valves and in the combustion area, leading to engine performance
problems such as:
- warm-up hesitation,
- unstable idle,
- knocking pinging.
- misfire,
- power loss.
DO NOT blend other fuel additives with the fuel. These additional additives only result in
unnecessary cost and may be harmful to engine operation.

On the above mentioned vehicles a 4-pole, 5-pole or 7-pole overvoltage protection relay may be
installed depending on vehicle model (Figures 1-3).
Note:
The 4-pole relay is no longer available, and when necessary, is to be replaced with the 5-pole
relay.
The overvoltage protection relay protects the control unit(s) of various electronic systems (e.g.
CIS-E, ABS, etc.).
Note:
A 9-pole relay is in use on European version vehicles equipped with 4MATIC, ASD or ASR. The
9-pole relay will be available on U.S. vehicles with the introduction of one of these systems.
On 4 and 5-pole relays battery voltage is continuously supplied via circuit 30. On the 7 and 9-pole
relays, the voltage is additionally supplied to circuit 30a via the 10A relay fuse.
In steering lock position 2, voltage is applied to circuit 15 and the relay closes the circuit. Voltage is
supplied to circuit 87 (5-pole relay) or circuits 87E and 87L (7 and 9-pole relays).
When the main power supply exceeds 22 volts, the Z-diode (zener diode) directs the voltage to
ground, causing the fuse to blow.
In case of a voltage overload occuring through the overvoltage relay, the electrical circuit is
interrupted by the 10A relay fuse.
Note:
The 9-pole relay is separately fused on circuit 87E and 87L, whereby in case of an open circuit
(blown fuse) on 87E, circuit 87L will also switch off (see Figure 4).

REF.NO.: MBNA 58/60, 83/4
DATE: February 1993
SUBJECT: BEAR ELECTRONIC REFRIGERANT LEAK DETECTOR FOR R12 AND R134a
Via the Mercedes-Benz Standard Equipment Program, Bear Automotive has sold an electronic
refrigerant leak detector which is applicable for use with both R12 and R134a automotive
refrigerant. These units were sold under model number HI-134a, and were sold together with
extension probe model HI-135.
Some early-version units (identified by a yellow colored case) of this model may have displayed
either a lack of sensitivity or what were interpreted as false signals. These conditions were due to
the extreme sensitivity of this unit to proper adjustment by the operator. Consequently, the
manufacturer has redesigned the unit to eliminate this over-sensitivity to adjustment, thereby
enhancing its effectiveness/accuracy. This redesigned unit can be identified by its black colored
case.
Presently, the manufacturer is making a one-time offer to exchange the earlier version units (yellow
colored case) for the later version units (black colored case) at no charge to any Mercedes-Benz
dealer.
NOTE:
This offer is only valid through April 1, 1993.
The extension probe, model HI-135, should he included with the returned leak detector. It will be
tested and returned together with the new version leak detector.
The subject leak detector should be sent prepaid/insured to:
Hitech Instruments 40 McLean Road Brevard, NC 28712-9989

SUBJECT: BRAKE SYSTEM GENERAL PRECAUTIONS A.
CLEANING AND FLUSHING
B. DUST SHIELDS
REF. NO. MBNA 42/7 A.
Cleaning and Flushing It has come to our attention that in numerous instances the cleaning and
flushing of hydraulic brake systems are not handled correctly. Many products are on the market
which were neither tested nor approved by us. Use of these products could lead to damage of the
brake system.
As published in our S.I. 42/89, January 1985, you should use only Mercedes-Benz approved brake
fluid for cleaning or flushing the reservoir, hydraulic lines and brake cylinders.
When working on the brake system, use only the following approved products:
^ Original Mercedes-Benz brake fluid (part no. 000 989 08 07 10) for topping up and annual
replacement (see SMS repair instructions 42-010 and product label, regarding handling of brake
fluid).
^ Mercedes-Benz brake pad paste (part no. 001 989 10 51) for coating the edges of the brake pad
backing plate.
To ensure safe operation and to prevent corrosion, we request that you use only these
factory-approved products (see also M-B Specifications for Service Products, pages 331.0 and
332).
Note: Cleaning of brake system components with alcohol as suggested in S.I. MBNA 42/2,
November 1983, is no longer valid as indicated in S.I. 42/89.
B. Dust Shields The automotive aftermarket is offering disc brake dust shields designed to prevent
deposits of brake dust on the light alloy wheels. This is to advise you that the information published
in our S.I. 42/69, April 1981, is still valid. MBNA disapproves the use of such shields for the
following reasons:
The shields are installed between brake disc and wheel and may affect the ventilation of the brake
discs. The resulting buildup of heat in the brake disc and caliper could lead to the formation of
vapor in the brake fluid. Since vapor is a gas and thus compressible, this may lead to reduced
brake efficiency and possible brake failure. In addition, some of the installation instructions for the
shields contain, in part, recommendations to rework brake calipers by removing material from them
if it is found that dust shields scrape against calipers. For safety reasons, such reworking of brake
calipers should never be attempted.
Dust shields can also cause brake squeal.

Evaporator Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
EVAPORATOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR:
Evaporator Temperature Sensor (B10/6)
The air conditioner temperature sensor is located in the air stream after the evaporator. Its
resistance is relative to the temperature at the evaporator, and the sensor sends this value to the
control unit This temperature sensor causes the compressor to switch off and on more frequently
during cooling operation. In this way, the outlet temperature at the nozzles displays only slight
variation. It also prevents the evaporator icing up.

SUBJECT: All Passenger and Light Truck Models
Defective Refrigeration Circuit / Refrigerant Compressor
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles related to "no or low AC cooling
performance", it may be due to a locked refrigerant compressor, a broken torque limiter on the
refrigerant compressor, the refrigeration circuit blocked or an electrical defect in the refrigerant
compressor. To remedy any of these issues please proceed with the following.
Note:
This document is intended as a supplement to the SDS function test "Refrigerant circuit test". Only
perform repair and replacement work on the refrigerant circuit if the SDS refrigerant circuit test was
unsuccessful and you have received appropriate instructions in the SDS function test.
Prerequisites:
1. Before parts can be replaced, the exact quantity of the refrigerant in the refrigeration circuit must
be determined by evacuating the system. When returning parts be sure to indicate the exact
amount of refrigerant in the circuit and any other findings by the technician. If the filling capacity is
not indicated, warranty claims may be rejected.
2. If the fill level of the refrigerant circuit is too low, parts should only be replaced if the torque
limiter is broken.
3. If the fill level of the refrigerant circuit is too low and the torque limiter is damaged, the leak test
(Test 6 "Leak in refrigeration circuit") must be performed using the "Technology Guide Vehicle
Climate Control" located in SDS SDMedia first and then the system must be refilled and checked. If
the amount of refrigerant in the circuit is less than 80% of the normal level, it is too low. Inadequate
fill levels may be the cause of the air conditioning shutting down or malfunctioning.
Remedy A - Broken Torque Limiter:
1. Ensure the alternator freewheel (when applicable) is not damaged and that the belt pulley of the
refrigerant compressor rotates in the belt drive.
2. If the alternator freewheel is blocked, replace the alternator freewheel. For refrigerant
compressors with a replaceable belt pulley, replace the belt pulley only, otherwise replace the
refrigerant compressor. Refer to EPCNet for applicable part number.
3. If the alternator freewheel is not blocked and black refrigerant/oil is evacuated from the system,
replace the AC compressor. Refer to EPCNet for applicable part number.
Remedy B - Blockage in the Refrigeration Circuit
1. Identify through SDS function test "Refrigeration circuit test" that the refrigerant circuit has not
been underfilled or overfilled.
2. Inspect along the AC lines to check for blockage at the points with marked temperature
differences.
3. Identify and replace the blocked components in the refrigeration circuit. Refer to EPCNet for
applicable part number.
Remedy C - Electrical Defect in Refrigerant Compressor
2. After ruling out a short circuit in the actuation and ground wiring, replace the refrigerant
compressor only. Refer to EPCNet for applicable part number.
Note:
^ Always empty the oil from the new refrigerant compressor before installing.

Oil Filter: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Oil Filter Precaution For O-Ring/Gasket
TO: OUR MERCEDES BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS
DATE: June 1990
SUBJECT: OIL FILTER O-RING SEAL/GASKET ALL ENGINES
REF. NO. MBNA 18/10 To prevent oil loss related engine damage, caused by blow-out of the oil
filter O-ring/gasket, make certain that the O-ring/gasket is properly seated.
When replacing a spin-on oil filter on M102 and M103 engines, ensure that the old filter gasket is
completely removed from the base before installing the new filter, and that the gasket on the new
filter is properly and securely seated in the groove of the filter and a film of oil is applied to the
gasket.
On all other engines which utilize a housing and cover, make certain that the old O-ring gasket is
removed from the filter housing or cover before installing a new one. Also ensure that the new
gasket is properly seated and pressed into the groove in the filter housing/cover. Failure to do so in
either case may result in a blow-out of the filter gasket and subsequent loss of engine oil, which will
lead to engine damage.
Engine damage caused by blow-out of tbe oil filter O-ring/gasket attributable to improper
installation, is not covered under warranty.

When disconnection the 10-pole plug connection (X29/9), pins 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 are short-circuited on
the lower half of the plug.
When disconnecting the connection for the ETR squibs (R12/1, R12/2) and the airbag squib
(R12/3), they are short-circuited.

Compressor Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Compressor RPM Sensor (L4)
PURPOSE
The RPM sensor which is located at the rear of the refrigerant compressor, measures the speed of
the compressor.
CONSTRUCTION
The RPM sensor consists of a magnetic core and a coil.
OPERATION
When the A/C system is engaged, compressor rotation causes an alternating voltage to be induced
in the coils of the RPM sensor. The frequency produced by the alternating voltage informs the
compressor cut-out control unit of the compressor speed. If the compressor speed differs more
than 30% from that of engine speed, the compressor cut-out control unit considers the compressor
to be jammed (overcharged or internally damaged parts) and current to the electro-magnetic clutch
will be disengaged to protect the common engine drive belt and accessories.

the reserve power source and voltage transformer previously accommodated in separate housings
are no longer required.
Function:
The control unit processes the vehicle deceleration during a frontal collision and is rigidly coupled
on a support bracket with the transmission tunnel of the vehicle (as before). By means of an
integral safety switch which interrupts the ignition circuits for the driver airbag and belt tensioner
restraint system during normal driving, the airbag and belt tensioners can only be triggered by an
actual acceleration. This prevents any malfunctions.
An acceleration sensor installed in the control unit detects the deceleration acting on the vehicle in
the longitudinal direction and sends an appropriately conditioned signal to the trigger switches for
evaluation. If the fixed triggering thresholds of both trigger switches are exceeded, the output
stages are activated as is appropriate for the circumstances detected via the belt buckle switch
(buckle latch in/not in belt buckle) This results in triggering of the system (see table below). If the
power supply is interrupted during a collision, the driver airbag can still be triggered within 100 ms,
but not the two belt tensioners. The warning lamp lights up if the vehicle voltage is < 9.5 V for longer
than 10 s. The lamp goes out at a voltage > 10 V .
exclude malfunctions due to electrical interference in the vehicle electrical system caused by the
switching of electric consumer units on and off, and by electromagnetic radiation on public
highways.
Belt Buckle, Except Coupe
Belt Buckle, Coupe
In order to detect whether the buckle latches are inserted in the belt buckles or not, new belt
buckles with separate switches and resistors were necessary. This results in the triggering logic
listed below.

1. Activate the fuel pumps for 5 seconds in order to zero the sensor plate position.
2. Slip a (0.002in.) feeler gauge between the sensor plate and the cylindrical part of the air funnel.
^ The feeler gauge should be able to be slipped freely around the sensor plate. Recenter the plate
if necessary.
^ The air-flow sensor plate should not bind even under slight, lateral pressure.
3. Push down on the sensor plate slightly.
4. Release the sensor plate.
^ The sensor plate should not bind when released and audibly touch the sensor plate stop bracket.

Ignition Control Module: Description and Operation
Fig. 55 EZL Control Unit
The EZL ignition control unit contains a microcomputer, pressure sensor and the power output
stage for control of the ignition coil. It is fitted to the left wheelhouse and is installed with heat
conducting paste. The control unit receives information concerning engine speed (crankshaft
position), intake manifold vacuum (load condition), engine temperature (coolant), and full load
(throttle valve switch).
Ignition Map
The EZL control unit compares information from these inputs with ignition maps for typical load and
speed ranges which are stored in the microcomputer. The optimal ignition timing for each operating
condition is instantaneously determined from the stored maps and the power output stage switches
the primary current of the ignition coil between terminals 16 and 31 of the control unit. Furthermore,
a TD (top dead center) reference signal is provided to the CIS-E control unit, tachometer, fuel
pump relay, and diagnostic socket. During cranking and up to approx. 450 RPM, the ignition timing
is controlled via the segment edges (fixed) of the flywheel. After approx. 460 RPM has been
attained a transition from the fixed ignition timing to dynamic ignition timing (instantaneous, ignition
map comparison) is made. Various ignition characteristic curves are inhibited in the warm-up range
depending on the coolant temperature in order to reach the normal operating temperature as
rapidly as possible. When a full load signal is received from the throttle valve switch the control unit
adapts a fixed full load ignition map characteristic. At temperatures above approx. 203°F the
ignition will be retarded to counter any further rise in temperature.

Wheel Speed Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 3 Wheel Speed Sensor
Fig. 4 Rear Wheel Speed Sensor
The sensor sends wheel speed information to the ECU where the speed signals are used to
determine when anti-lock control is required. Each wheel speed sensor consists of a magnet
surrounded by a coil of wire. Mounted next to each sensor is a toothed ring that rotates along with
the brake disc.
As each tooth passes, the magnetic field in the wheel sensor is strengthened momentarily. This
field strength change, repeated as each tooth passes the sensor, induces voltage in the wheel
speed sensor coil and coaxial cable. The ECU compares the frequency of the AC signals from the
wheel speed sensors to detect rapid wheel deceleration, indicating possible wheel locking.
NOTE: Tire size determines the number of teeth on the front reluctor ring. It's therefore important
that the vehicle be equipped with the original equipment tire sizes. Changing tire size could affect
system function.
NOTE: Always route these cables in exactly the same position as original manufacture. Electronic
noise from improper cable routing can cause improper signals to be sent to the ECU.

Repair Work - Check Engine Light ON
Note
Intake and exhaust system must be tight.
Tighten all negative electrical connections as well as exhaust manifold and flange, and loosen and
tighten 02 sensor. (Negative electrical connection through engine and exhaust).
Cause:
1. Intermittent or continuous malfunction of 02-sensor while driving vehicle.
2. Coaxial-cable between 02-sensor plug (G3/2x2) and CIS-E control unit pin 8 has short to
ground.
3. Loose connection or intermittent interruption at connector sleeve Z (solder joint in harness) in

CIS-E control unit plug.
Remedy:
1. Check on-off ratio while driving (tester needle must oscillate). If the needle of the on-off ratio
tester moves slowly to the right end stop of the dial (02-sensor at operating temperature), the
02-sensor must be replaced.
2. Unplug CIS-E control unit and check resistance between socket 7 and socket 8. Nominal value:
Ohm (above 10 k Ohm).
If resistance is below 1 Ohm, replace engine wiring harness.
3. Open CIS-E control unit plug and resolder connector sleeve Z (solder joint in harness) on socket
7.

Engine - Oil Level Checking Procedure Revised
Engine Oil: Technical Service Bulletins Engine - Oil Level Checking Procedure Revised
REF. NO. MBNA 00/57A
TO: ALL MERCEDES-BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS
DATE: November 1995 (Supercedes S.I. MBNA 00/57 October 1994)
Revision: Revised checking/correcting oil level procedure
SUBJECT: ALL MODELS ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It has recently come to our attention that some Mercedes-Benz vehicles are being operated with
too much engine oil. Additionally, it is important that the oil dipstick remain fully inserted in the oil
dipstick tube for a minimum of 3 seconds before rechecking the oil level again. Removing the oil
dipstick immediately after insertion, will result in an erroneous indication of the oil quantity within
the engine.
Excess engine oil affects the engine's driveability and performance, and may lead to engine
damage.
Dealers are reminded to fill the engine with the exact amount of engine oil specified for that engine
(e.g. if specified quantity is 8.5 quarts, do not fill with 9.0 quarts or 9.0 liters of engine oil). The MAX
mark on the oil dipstick must not be exceeded (upper arrow, Figure 1).
Also, please remind your customers of the proper procedure for checking/correcting the engine oil
level. Emphasizing that the engine should be at normal operating temperature (80°C) and that the
vehicle is parked on a level surface The engine must not have run for approx. 2 minutes, to allow
the engine oil to drain into the oil pan.
Then after removing and wiping off and reinserting the oil dipstick, allow the oil dipstick to remain
fully Inserted in the oil dipstick tube for a minimum of 3 seconds before rechecking the oil level
again
Ideally, the engine oil level should be around halfway between the MAX and MIN marks on the oil
dipstick.
Also, the customer should refrain from frequently "topping off" the engine oil level.
Never add engine oil above the MAX mark on the oil dipstick (upper arrow, Figure 1).
For approved engine oil classifications and correct viscosity grades, refer to the latest edition of the
Factory Approved Service Products sheet.

X92 Test coupling for diagnosis, 8-pin (flashing code)
There is a diagnosis program integrated in the control unit to test the control unit and the electrical
components of the airbag system. When a fault is detected, the warning lamp (A1e15) does not go
out after 4 s or it will come on while driving. The faults detected are stored and may be called up in
the form of a pulse display by means of the warning lamp (A1e15) or digitally by means of a pulse
meter.
Note on Pulse Display: The digits 1 - 10 appear on the display of the pulse meter. A 1 signifies that
no fault is stored in the system. All other numbers are assigned to a certain group of faults. If there
are several faults in the system the fault with the lowest pulse number is displayed first.
- If the light-emitting diode "U-Batt" lights up after connection, the pulse meter and power supply for
the pulse meter are in order.
- When the first number reappears during the test after at least two or more pulse outputs
(numbers) all faults have been read.
Diagnosis With Pulse Display: -
Connect pulse meter in accordance with the connection diagram.
NOTE: The light-emitting diode "U-Batt" in the display must light up.
- Switch on ignition.
- Press the start button for between 2 and 4 s.
- Display 1 means no fault in the system. If another number appears, rectify the fault in accordance
with the fault-finding flow diagram. See: Restraint Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component

CAUTION!
All tires on the vehicle must be in the same speed rating category. Clients should be made aware
of the maximum speed ratings (refer to table). This is especially important if winter tires are
installed which have a lower speed rating than the summer tires normally used.
^ In case of a wheel change (e.g., light alloy wheels for steel wheels), be certain that the proper
spare lug bolts are kept conspicuously near the spare wheel. Ensure the proper bolts are used with
each set of wheels.
^ Retightening of the lug bolts after approx. 100-500 miles as previously specified is no longer
necessary.
^ Before mounting the wheels, clean all dirt and corrosion from the contact surfaces of the wheels
and axle flanges.
^ Some tires have a direction of rotation embossed in the sidewall. Please be certain to mount the
tire on the wheel rim in the proper direction of rotation as required by the direction indication of the
arrow.
^ Asymmetric tires will have the word "Outer"and may have an arrow embossed in the sidewall.
Please be certain to mount the tire on the wheel rim with the correct side out and in the correct
direction of rotation.
^ On models equipped with COMAND, the navigation system must be calibrated each time new
tires are installed on the vehicle.
^ In general, use only tires and wheels with tire/wheel match points when replacing tires. Match
points are designed to cancel out tire/wheel out-of-round dimensions.
Match point identification regarding winter tires

^ Tires with color dot on outside sidewall
^ Steel wheels via a color dot or center punch mark on the outside wheel rim.
^ Light-alloy wheels via valve stem hole in wheel. Additionally on Model 140 use of color dot or
notch in the tire bead area of the wheel rim.
Note:
Due to improved wheel and tire manufacturing tolerances, the match point marks were phased out
on original equipment alloy wheels during model year 1994 (except on model 140). As a result,
some model year 1994 vehicles already have the tires mounted with no regard for the match point
that is present on the wheel. This condition is not considered a production error.
Mercedes-Benz clip on wheel weights cannot be installed on the outside of some Mercedes-Benz
and AMG accessory wheels light alloy wheels. These wheels require stick on wheel weights (43c,
Figure 2), part no. B 6 6 40 8121.
CAUTION!
Non-Mercedes Benz stick-on wheel weights must not be used for clearance reasons. Contact with
brake/suspension components may result, causing the wheel to go out of balance. As previously
indicated, clip-on wheel weights (43a) can be installed on the inside of the accessory wheel.

560 SL
Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation 560 SL
Component Locations
The fuel pump relay controls various functions of the CIS-E system such as fuel pump operation,
maximum engine speed limitation, oxygen sensor heater supply voltage, cold start valve activation,
transmission (automatic) kickdown cutoff, and fuel pump cutoff in the event of an interruption of the
ignition signal (TD) to the fuel pump relay. An input from the ignition control unit provides a TD
signal which energizes the fuel pump relay during starting or with the engine running. The fuel
pump relay is also activated briefly when the ignition is turned to the run (ON) position. If no TD
signal is received or the engine reaches maximum RPM limits the fuel pump relay will then switch
the pumps off. Cold start valve activation depends on coolant temperature and cranking speed
signal. Voltage supply is via the fuel pump relay. The length of time during which the starting valve
injects fuel is dependent on the coolant temperature. If the engine starts before the cold start valve
completes its cycle, cold start injection is cancelled. If the fuel pump relay receives a certain
frequency signal corresponding to the maximum engine RPM, the contact between circuit 30 and
87 is interrupted and the fuel pumps are turned off. Activation for the A/T kickdown solenoid valve
is routed via the fuel pump relay. The circuit to the kickdown solenoid valve is interrupted approx.
200 RPM prior to maximum engine RPM cut-out and the transmission shifts to the next gear. This
will assure that shifting occurs prior to maximum engine RPM cutout.

Air Flow Sensor
Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation Air Flow Sensor
The air flow sensor is mounted in the intake air stream between the air cleaner and throttle plate
valve. The unit consists of an air flow sensor plate, venturi funnel, and a sensor plate position
sensor. The air flow sensor plate is mechanically connected to the control plunger in the fuel
distributor, causing the plunger to rise and fall in direct relation to the amount of air entering the
engine.
Air Flow Funnel Principle
Air/fuel mixtures are also tailored to engine operating conditions by the venturi shape of the cone in
which the air flow sensor plate operates. At idle, when air flow volume is relatively low, the cone
shape increases pressure above the sensor plate, providing additional force to richen air/fuel
mixtures. At part throttle the cone design causes the sensor plate to float higher than air flow
through a straight sided cone would dictate, providing leaner mixtures for improved economy.
During full throttle operation the venturi shape increases air velocity, providing additional force on
the sensor plate and richer air/fuel mixtures for maximum power output.

Revision: Updated to include information for winter steel wheels
SUBJECT: ALL MODELS WITH LIGHT ALLOY WHEELS, STEEL WHEELS FOR WINTER TIRES
CENTERING ADAPTERS FOR WHEEL BALANCERS DUO-EXPERT AND FLANGE PLATE
Suspension systems have become more complex, wheel/tire combinations more unique and
therefore, more sensitive to wheel/tire imbalance. Repeatability in off-vehicle wheel balancing has
always been an important factor. With most any wheel balancer, a technician can mount and
balance a wheel to zero, given weights in 1 gram increments. While a wheel may seem perfectly
balanced, the true test is to rotate the wheel on the balancer shaft 90, 180 and 270 degrees and
have the wheel balance out to zero each time. when this is possible, then perfect balance can be
assured. To accomplish this, accurate centering of the wheel on the balancer shaft is necessary.
For off-vehicle wheel balancing MBNA strongly recommends that all original equipment, light alloy
wheels and steel wheels for winter tires mounted on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, be balanced using
balancing equipment as recommended in the MB Standard Service Equipment Program catalog.
Additionally, it is required that Mercedes-Benz dealers equip balancing equipment with MB special
centering tools, the DUO-EXPERT centering adapter and corresponding flange plate adapter. By
replacing the previously used backcone and pressure cup with these centering tools, an accurate
location of the wheel/tire assembly onto the wheel balancer shaft of the wheel balancer is
consistently assured. This will determine the repeatability and ultimate quality of the balancing
operation. By using the DUO-EXPERT adapter and flange plate adapter as a set, near perfect
repeatability can be achieved.
The DUO-EXPERT adapter (Figure 1, arrow) is a two piece, hub-centric, expanding inner and outer
collet system. The two machined collets are held together with a flat elastic band.
The DUO-EXPERT adapter is first slipped onto the balancer shaft. Then the wheel/tire assembly is
slipped onto the balancer shaft, seating the wheel hub securely against the DUO-EXPERT adapter.
The flange plate adapter along with the wing nut are tightened against the wheel/tire assembly. The
collets of the DUO-EXPERT adapter expand against each other to secure the adapter to the shalt
and the wheel to the adapter.

Seat Belt Control Module: Description and Operation
Vehicles up to 09/87:
The control unit, also referred to as the triggering unit or crash sensor, is responsible for
determining the severity of a collision and, if necessary, triggering the restraint system at the
correct time.
General:
Two integrated circuits are accommodated together with an acceleration sensor in a common
housing.
exclude any malfunctions due to electrical interference in the vehicle electrical system caused by
the switching of various electrical consumer components on and off, and by electromagnetic
interference on public highways.
Function
The electronic control unit processes the deceleration of the vehicle during a frontal collision and
must therefore be rigidly coupled with the vehicle.
Incorrect triggerings are avoided by means of an integral mercury switch which interrupts the
ignition circuits of the airbag and belt tensioner restraint system during normal driving, and by a
predetermined deceleration threshold (as).
The acceleration sensor (1) in the control unit records the deceleration or acceleration acting on the
vehicle on the longitudinal direction. and generates a signal. This signal is sent via the high-pass
filter (2) to the amplifier (3) which adapts the signal strength to the following processing stages. The
acceleration signal is restricted in the limiter (4) and is reduced by a constant acceleration
threshold (as) in a subtractor circuit (5).
The integrator (6) then integrates the signal produced and passes it on to the trigger switch (7) for
evaluation. If the fixed triggering speed V is exceeded, the output stages (20) are activated. This
effects triggering of the driver's airbag and the belt tensioners by means of the detonators (19)
when the test cycle is complete. An additional precaution against incorrect triggering is a mercury
switch (18) installed in the control unit. The control unit also contains a further circuit to monitor the
ignition circuits and to perform its own function check. Malfunctions are indicated by the warning
lamp (21).

A. Modified Control Unit
As of July 1989, only SRS control units with a reed contact switch, instead of the previous mercury
switch, are installed. (The mercury switch or reed switch functions as a mechanical "safing sensor"
and must close before the electronic sensing system can trigger a deployment).
The modified control units are recognizable by the raised oval on the control unit housing (1, Figure
1).
Important Note:
Defective control units with the raised oval which are out-of-warranty may be discarded without
further precautions.
Defective control units without the raised oval (mercury switch) must be returned to MBNA,
Warranty Inspection regardless of whether or not warranty is still in effect. Federal law prohibits the
disposal of any mercury product (except as a toxic waste), even in such small quantities as
contained in the control unit's mercury switch. MBNA will assume the responsibility of toxic waste
disposal after the mercury has been recovered from the control units. In-warranty units will be
requested for return by MBNA via the Parts Return Request form. Dealers should collect
out-of-warranty warranty units and periodically ship them to MBNA, Warranty Receiving
Department.
Control units with the raised oval which are under warranty shall be returned in the usual manner.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Description and Operation
This solid-state component evaluates wheel speed signals, and calculates allowable wheel slip for
optimum braking. In order to determine optimum wheel slip precentages the ECU monitors inputs
from the wheel speed sensors, brake switch, pump relay, and hydraulic modulator solenoids. After
making this calculation, it controls wheel circuit hydraulic pressure. When a wheel sensor signals
excessive wheel deceleration (imminent lockup), the ECU first sends a signal that tells the
hydraulic modulator to isolate that hydraulic wheel circuit. If excessive wheel deceleration
continues, the ECU signals the hydraulic modulator to reduce the hydraulic pressure in that wheel
circuit. After reducing pressure, the wheel accelerates; when acceleration reaches a preset level,
the ECU signals the hydraulic modulator to increase wheel circuit pressure. This action again
causes wheel deceleration, and the control cycle begins over. In addition to being the "brain" of the
ABS, the ECU tests and monitors itself and the anti-lock system using a defined program.

Cabin Temperature Sensor / Switch: Description and Operation
In-Car Temperature Sensor Location
PURPOSE
The in-car (interior) temperature sensor, which is located in the overhead lamp, sends interior
temperature information to the push-button control unit.
CONSTRUCTION
The in-car temperature sensor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) type resistor. As the
surrounding temperature increases the resistance decreases.
OPERATION
When the ignition is switched "ON", a blower aspirator pulls interior air across the surface of the
sensor element. The passing air produces a resistance value in the sensor. The resulting current
flow in the sensor circuit is recognized by the ACC control unit as a measurement of the interior air
temperature. The constant air flow past the sensor, produced by the blower aspirator, increases the
accuracy of the ACC system.

SUBJECT: ALL MODELS OIL EVACUATION EQUIPMENT
Mercedes-Benz engines are designed to allow engine oil extraction from under the hood via the
dipstick tube. The dipstick tube has an enlarged cross section and a formed extension at the top
end. On the other side it ends a short distance from the oil pan bottom. Engine oil can be extracted
using the dipstick tube.
Note:
Inserting tubular probes through the dipstick tube is NOT recommended.
Engine oil drain plugs will continue for the time being, although access to them may only be
possible with the removal of engine compartment trim or noise encapsulation panels.
A pneumatic oil suction unit, manufactured by Deutsche Tecalemit in Germany, is approved by

DBAG for use with M-B engines. The unit has recently been added to the MBNA Standard
Equipment Program and is available for order in the USA via the sole importer/distributor: AGA,
Inc. of Bettendorf, IA.
This portable unit (Figure 1) utilizes the suction principle via an air-powered piston pump. The
engine oil extraction is accomplished by connecting a specialized Suction Adapter from the unit to
the dipstick tube.
Additionally, a variety of flexible probes and fittings are also supplied for other oil removal
applications e.g. power steering reservoir, rear axle, etc. Waste oil collected in the tank of the unit
can be emptied using the unit's pump.

SUBJECT: MY-All, All Models
Preventing Damage to Electronic Components Due to Electrostatic Discharge
Warning!
Every contact and each physical separation of material or any movement of solid substance, fluids
or particulate loaded gases can generate electrostatic charges. Plastic generally produces the
highest electrostatic charge.
The following electronic components listed as an example can be damaged by ESD:
- Airbag components
- Control units, in particular their bus connections: Control Area Network (data bus/CAN bus)
(CAN), local interconnect network (LIN), etc.
- Sensors
- Antenna amplifier
- Receivers and displays (Radio, TV, GPS, telephone, etc.)
- Multifunction antenna assembly
Safety precautions:
- Avoidance of contact with electrostatic chargeable materials such as PE, PVC, Styrofoam.
- Use only original packaging or specially labeled and defined packaging and transport materials.
- Electronic components which have been removed must be put down on an ESD workplace.
(Example: when swapping the painted cover from one multifunction antenna to another, this must
be performed on an ESD table mat (000 589 52 98 000).
- Touch connectors on electronic components and wiring harness on the housing only. Do not
touch the pins and contacts!
- Electronic components must be installed before they are connected so that potential equalization
with the body can take place.
Returning electronic components in warranty and goodwill cases:
When returning electronic components it is absolutely essential to observe the procedure and
safety precautions listed in WIS doc. AH54.00-P-0001-01A. Electrostatic charge or discharge
means the original fault can be falsified or overlaid. This can lead to distorted faults symptoms in
the case of the fault analysis of the component concerned.

Oxygen Sensor: Technical Service Bulletins O2 Sensors - Avoiding Bogus Test Results
DATE: May 1990
SUBJECT: O2 SENSOR REPLACEMENT ENGINE 103, 116, 117 STARTING MODEL YEAR 1986
ENGINE 102 STARTING MODEL YEAR 1987
REF.NO. MBNA 07.3/11 In a recent test of returned warranty parts, almost 60% of the tested 02
sensors were not defective.
It is therefore important to check the sensor and sensor circuit according to the O2 Sensor Signal
and Heater Test in the Diagnostic Manual.
Additionally, we would like to point out that it is very important to check the following before testing
and/or replacing an O2 Sensor.
1. Before testing the O2 Sensor, make sure that the ground connection is OK. Loosen and
retighten the O2 Sensor. Retighten the exhaust flange and manifold and check and clean, if
necessary, all ground connections between engine and chassis.
2. Do not test O2 sensor after a long engine idle period.
3. Make sure engine is at operating temperature.
To avoid false readouts, a tester with an input impedance of greater than one megaohm must be
used (Sun DMM5, Fluke 23). There are many testers on the market which are not up to this
standard and can cause false readouts and unnecessary replacement of oxygen sensors.

Group: 40
SUBJECT: MY-All, Models All
Radial Crack in Light Alloy Disk Wheel
Through inspection of returned warranty parts, it has become evident that light alloy disk wheels
are being replaced under warranty for radial cracks. This type of damage is attributable to driving
over obstacles and resulting punctures. The rim flange becomes deformed and a radial crack
occurs immediately or later due to the vehicle's operating load. This type of damage is not covered
under warranty.
Low section tires also significantly contribute to mechanical damage because of their lower side
wall height and the possibility of a crack can be exacerbated by low tire inflation pressure.
For safety reasons, a tire should be replaced after it has been punctured to preclude internal fabric
damage of the tire carcass.

Group 58
SUBJECT: ALL ENGINES APPROVED OIL EVACUATION EQUIPMENT
The purpose of this Service Information is to inform dealers that Approved Oil Evacuation
Equipment, which is used to extract used engine oil from the engine via the oil dipstick tube, is now
available for order. Mercedes-Benz engines are designed to allow the extraction of engine oil from
under the hood via the dipstick tube. The engine dipstick tube has an enlarged cross section, plus
a formed extension at the top end where the dipstick is inserted and the approved engine oil
evacuation equipment interfaces. The opposite end of the dipstick ends just short of the oil pan
bottom, thus engine oil can be extracted via the approved oil evacuation equipment by using the
dipstick tube. Additionally, the engine dipstick tube itself is the conduit through which spent engine
oil is moved to the oil evacuation equipment.
In addition, service and repair components for existing approved oil evacuation equipment is also
available.
Note:
Because the engine oil dipstick tube is the conduit through which spent engine oil is extracted,
inserting tubular probes through the dipstick tube is NOT recommended.
Special Note for M-class:
Due to the location of the vehicle frame and suspension components, the draining of engine oil via
the engine crankcase oil drain plug is not recommended, since this can lead to engine oil coming in
contact and subsequently be damaging to the rubber suspension components. Thus, it is strongly
recommended to use the approved oil evacuation equipment contained in the Service Information
for this purpose.

** If there are only three valves listed it means there isn't a right rear valve and therefore no wire in
Pin 19. If a wire exists in Pin 19 it will mean the system has four solenoid valves.
*** Not all Bosch ABS 2 have a Solenoid valve on the right rear wheel. This does not mean that if a
system has only three solenoid valves that it will only have three wheel speed sensors. These
differences are sorted out in the chart.
**** Not all Bosch ABS 2 have a wheel speed sensor on the right rear wheel. Systems that have
only three wheel speed sensors have the rear sensor mounted in the differential housing. The
easiest way to determine how the wheel speed sensors are wired is to inspect the 35 Pin plug and
see what contacts are used for in system being tested.

Drive Belt: Service and Repair Notes Regarding Replacing and Tensioning V-Belts
Checking V-belt condition
Replace belts which are split, scorched or worn.
Checking V-belt tension
See operating instructions and Replacing and tensioning V-belts on how to use instrument.
The adjustment data stated relate to the KG scale of the measuring instrument (arrow).
Used V-belts
Check tension of the V-belts and compare with the figures which are stated in the table for used
belts. Re-tension belt, if necessary.
Fitting on and tensioning new V-belt:
To fit on a V-belt properly. it is necessary to slacken the relevant ancillary or tensioning device of
the belt sufficiently to allow the belt to be fitted on without force In addition, the running surfaces for
the belt must be free of burrs, rust and dirt.
Keep free of oils, greases and chemicals. Do not use belt wax or similar products. Problems such
as belt squeal and short service life will be avoided by now optimally adjusting the belt tension (see
specifications for settings, See: Specifications).
When performing servicing work, fit on V-belt before checking the engine and tension to the figure
stated in the table for new belts.
If belt tension is checked during final inspection or after a road test, the reading obtained in this
case should be compared with the figure stated in the table for used belts. Re-tension V-belt, if
necessary.

Barometric Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation
Fig. 7 Altitude Sensor
In areas of high altitude the air pressure is lower than at sea level. This results in the air being
"thinner" or less dense, which means the engine will have less oxygen to burn. Depending on
altitude, the amount of fuel is changed based on a signal from the altitude correction sensor. With
the ignition switched ON or with the engine running, the altitude correction sensor will receive a
constant voltage signal (approx. 8 volts) from the CIS-E control unit. With increasing altitude
(decreasing air pressure), the air/fuel mixture will be adapted to the altitude by a reduction of
current to the electro-hydraulic actuator. Thus, less fuel is injected at the cylinders. This function is
deleted if the ECU is in "Limp Home" mode.

SUBJECT: ALL MODELS USING R12 REFRIGERANT IN VEHICLES USING NIPPONDENSO

10P, 10PA A/C COMPRESSORS, CONVERSION OF R12 TO ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
R134a
General Information
With the introduction of model 140 in model year 1992. Mercedes-Benz was the first car
manufacturer worldwide to use environmentally friendly refrigerant R134a. Beginning in 1991, all
other models (except 201) were converted to use refrigerant R134a.
Due to the increasingly scarce availability and eventual production phase out (1995) of refrigerant
R12, models using Nippondenso 10P and 10PA A/C compressors may be converted for use with
refrigerant R134a.
In case of a necessary repair under the terms of the Limited New Vehicle Warranty or the Spare
Parts Warranty and if R12 is no longer available, a warranty claim for the conversion can be
submitted. In all other cases any conversion to R134a is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
In performing this conversion, the following steps must be followed:
A. Preparation/Testing of the A/C system B. Testing A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks C. Removal
of Mineral Oil from A/C System D. Replacing Receiver/Drier E. Installation of Service Valves F.
Filling A/C System with R134a Refrigerant
G. Affixing new R134a Label H. Performing Final; Function Test of A/C System
Conversion Steps A - H
Before proceeding with the conversion to refrigerant R134a, park vehicle inside workshop and
allow vehicle to attain workshop temperature (approx. 70 ° F).
A. Preparation/Testing of the A/C System
B. Testing A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks 1. If A/C system is void of any R12 refrigerant or the
compressor will not engage, check refrigerant compressor for binding by rotating A/C
compressor by hand.

Parts Information
As of July 1989, after existing supplies of the previous version control unit have been exhausted,
only the modified version is available as shown.
Note:
When using the modified version SRS unit as a replacement for previous version control units up to
9/87 (production code 749), The energy accumulator and voltage converter installed in the vehicle
are no longer required as these are integrated into the modified version control unit's design.
However, the energy accumulator and voltage converter will continue to be available as separate
units should their replacement become necessary (while retaining the previous version control unit)
Note:
When replacing a SRS control unit manufactured prior to 9/87 (production code 749) with the
modified version, the existing voltage converter as well as the energy accumulator must be
removed from the vehicle and discarded (if installed).
The wire ends should be insulated with electrical tape and secured to the existing harness (2 & 3,

Fuel Pump Relay: Description and Operation 560 SEL/SEC
The fuel pump relay controls various functions of the CIS-E system such as fuel pump operation,
maximum engine speed limitation, oxygen sensor heater supply voltage, cold start valve activation,
transmission (automatic) kickdown cutoff, and fuel pump cutoff in the event of an interruption of the
ignition signal (TD) to the fuel pump relay. An input from the ignition control unit provides a TD
signal which energizes the fuel pump relay during starting or with the engine running. The fuel
pump relay is also activated briefly when the ignition is turned to the run (ON) position. If no TD
signal is received or the engine reaches maximum RPM limits the fuel pump relay will then switch
the pumps off. Cold start valve activation depends on coolant temperature and cranking speed
signal. Voltage supply is via the fuel pump relay. The length of time during which the starting valve
injects fuel is dependent on the coolant temperature. If the engine starts before the cold start valve
completes its cycle, cold start injection is cancelled. If the fuel pump relay receives a certain
frequency signal corresponding to the maximum engine RPM, the contact between circuit 30 and
87 is interrupted and the fuel pumps are turned off.

Revision: Updated to include information for winter steel wheels
SUBJECT: ALL MODELS WITH LIGHT ALLOY WHEELS, STEEL WHEELS FOR WINTER TIRES
CENTERING ADAPTERS FOR WHEEL BALANCERS DUO-EXPERT AND FLANGE PLATE
Suspension systems have become more complex, wheel/tire combinations more unique and
therefore, more sensitive to wheel/tire imbalance. Repeatability in off-vehicle wheel balancing has
always been an important factor. With most any wheel balancer, a technician can mount and
balance a wheel to zero, given weights in 1 gram increments. While a wheel may seem perfectly
balanced, the true test is to rotate the wheel on the balancer shaft 90, 180 and 270 degrees and
have the wheel balance out to zero each time. when this is possible, then perfect balance can be
assured. To accomplish this, accurate centering of the wheel on the balancer shaft is necessary.
For off-vehicle wheel balancing MBNA strongly recommends that all original equipment, light alloy
wheels and steel wheels for winter tires mounted on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, be balanced using
balancing equipment as recommended in the MB Standard Service Equipment Program catalog.
Additionally, it is required that Mercedes-Benz dealers equip balancing equipment with MB special
centering tools, the DUO-EXPERT centering adapter and corresponding flange plate adapter. By
replacing the previously used backcone and pressure cup with these centering tools, an accurate
location of the wheel/tire assembly onto the wheel balancer shaft of the wheel balancer is
consistently assured. This will determine the repeatability and ultimate quality of the balancing
operation. By using the DUO-EXPERT adapter and flange plate adapter as a set, near perfect
repeatability can be achieved.
The DUO-EXPERT adapter (Figure 1, arrow) is a two piece, hub-centric, expanding inner and outer
collet system. The two machined collets are held together with a flat elastic band.
The DUO-EXPERT adapter is first slipped onto the balancer shaft. Then the wheel/tire assembly is
slipped onto the balancer shaft, seating the wheel hub securely against the DUO-EXPERT adapter.
The flange plate adapter along with the wing nut are tightened against the wheel/tire assembly. The
collets of the DUO-EXPERT adapter expand against each other to secure the adapter to the shalt
and the wheel to the adapter.

Flow Noises from Area of Power Steering Pump and/or Foaming of Power Steering Oil in Reservoir
If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of flow noises from the area of the
power steering pump, and/or foaming of the power steering fluid in the reservoir following work
carried out on the hydraulic steering system; this may be caused by an improper procedure
followed for filling fluid and bleeding of the hydraulic power steering system.
To remedy, it is absolutely necessary to make sure that the procedure described in the WIS
documents is strictly adhered to. In particular, it is necessary to turn the steering to full lock-to-lock
at least 30 times BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE. If this is not done prior to starting engine,
there is a high risk of air entering the steering system, which is subsequently very difficult to
eliminate.
NOTE:
Starting the engine prior to bleeding can cause irreparable damage to the power steering pump
and will cause an air cushion to form in the steering gear which causes noise. Once the air is
ingested, the ingested air will only dissipate after driving the vehicle for more than 30 miles.

PURPOSE
The heat exchanger temperature sensor sends heating temperature information to the push-button
control unit. This information, along with information provided by the interior temp. sensor, is used
to calculate necessary correction for maintaining interior temperature.
LOCATION
Heat Exchanger Temp. Sensor Location
The heat exchanger temperature sensor is located behind the ACC control unit, at the front of the
heater box.
OPERATION
The temperature of the heating air within the heater box produces a resistance value in the sensor
circuit. The resulting current flow in the sensor circuit is recognized by the ACC control unit as a
measurement of the evaporator temperature. Together with the interior sensor and heater
temperature senor, the potentiometer in the ACC control unit produces a nominal value for
temperature control.

Coolant: Description and Operation
Coolant/Water Specifications
Water
Use water which is clean and not too hard. Drinking water frequently, but not always, satisfies
requirements. The content of dissolved substances in the water may be of significance for the
occurrence of corrosion. If the water quality is not known, distilled or fully desalinated water should
be used.
Anticorrosion/antifreeze agent
The anticorrosion/antifreeze agent performs the following tasks:
- provides adequate corrosion and cavity protection for all components
- provides antifreeze protection
- Increases boiling point
About 50 % by vol. of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent must be added to the water. This

concentration offers antifreeze protection down to about -37 °C A higher concentration is only
recommended for even lower ambient temperatures. More than 55 % by vol.
anticorrosion/antifreeze agent reduces the antifreeze protection and impairs the dissipation of heat.
An anticorrosion/antifreeze concentration of 55 % by vol. offers antifreeze protection down to about
-45 °C. Anticorrosion/antifreeze agent increases the boiling point, which means that the coolant
does not evaporate as rapidly. The ejection of coolant is avoided at high coolant temperatures. Use
only approved anticorrosion/antifreeze agents.

DANGER!
Potential dangers
Risk of explosion, poisoning and injury
Fuels are highly flammable and are poisonous if swallowed. Fuel can cause damage to the skin.
Contact with gasoline fuel, for example, removes the skin's natural oils. Fuel vapors are explosive
and invisible, and spread out along the floor. They are poisonous if inhaled and can cause
unconsciousness in high concentrations.
Protective measures/rules for handling fuels
- Observe local national safety regulations.
- Fire, the creation of sparks, naked lights and smoking forbidden.
- Make sure that the work area is sufficiently well ventilated.
- Never drain or add fuels over workshop pits.
- Always put drained fuel into containers which are suitable and can be properly closed off.
- Immediately remove any fuel which has been spilt.
Working on the vehicle using a naked flame
(e.g. when welding etc.).
- Before carrying out such work, remove the relevant parts of the fuel system and seal off open fuel
lines with plugs.
First aid measures
- Wash any fuel from skin using soap and water.
- Change out of clothing on which fuel has been spilt as soon as possible.
- If fuel is splashed into the eyes, rinse out the eyes immediately with water; consult a doctor if
appropriate.
Possible dangers
Risk of accident
From vehicle starting off during starting operation (e.g. when testing compression pressure) as a
result of gear engaged or when engine running and vehicles with automatic transmission as a
result of selector lever position "P" or "N" not engaged (with the exception of vehicles which do not
have any selector lever position "P").
Risk of injury
Severe injuries may be caused by freely rotating parts in the area of the running engine. The heat
produced by the engine when it is, operating can result in severe burns if contact is made with
individual, unshielded parts.

Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation Air-Flow Position Sensor Indicator
The air-flow sensor position indicator is a potentiometer which informs the CIS-E control unit of the
need for extra enrichment during cold-engine part-throttle acceleration. The potentiometer signals
how fast and how far the sensor plate moves as air flow increases. This prevents the familiar "flat
spot" that accompanies an abrupt opening of the throttle valve. The potentiometer operates with a
constant voltage of approx. 8 volts supplied by the ECU. During acceleration, the movement of the
sensor plate produces an output (voltage) signal which is transmitted to the ECU via the
potentiometer contacts. From this input, the ECU calculates the need for enrichment and sends a
compensating voltage to the electro-hydraulic actuator. For approx. 1 second, the current to the
actuator increases which allows more fuel to be injected into the cylinders. The greatest enrichment
takes place when the engine is cold; partial enrichment when the engine is cool and no enrichment
when the engine is above 175°F.

SUBJECT: ALL ENGINES APPROVED OIL EVACUATION EQUIPMENT
The purpose of this Service Information is to inform dealers that Approved Oil Evacuation
Equipment, which is used to extract used engine oil from the engine via the oil dipstick tube, is now
available for order. Mercedes-Benz engines are designed to allow the extraction of engine oil from
under the hood via the dipstick tube. The engine dipstick tube has an enlarged cross section, plus
a formed extension at the top end where the dipstick is inserted and the approved engine oil
evacuation equipment interfaces. The opposite end of the dipstick ends just short of the oil pan
bottom, thus engine oil can be extracted via the approved oil evacuation equipment by using the
dipstick tube. Additionally, the engine dipstick tube itself is the conduit through which spent engine
oil is moved to the oil evacuation equipment.
In addition, service and repair components for existing approved oil evacuation equipment is also
available.
Note:
Because the engine oil dipstick tube is the conduit through which spent engine oil is extracted,
inserting tubular probes through the dipstick tube is NOT recommended.
Special Note for M-class:
Due to the location of the vehicle frame and suspension components, the draining of engine oil via
the engine crankcase oil drain plug is not recommended, since this can lead to engine oil coming in
contact and subsequently be damaging to the rubber suspension components. Thus, it is strongly
recommended to use the approved oil evacuation equipment contained in the Service Information
for this purpose.

Ignition Rotor: Description and Operation
Ignition Distributor View
The resistor rotor is mounted on the distributor shaft which rotates at the rpm of the camshaft. The
distributor, cap, and rotor are set so that when an ignition impulse is generated by the coil, the rotor
points to the appropriate terminal of the distributor cap and the ignition energy is directed to the
correct cylinder through the ignition wires. A 1K ohm resistor is molded into the rotor for radio
frequency suppression.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation Ignition (EZL/AKR)
The EZL ignition control unit contains a microcomputer, pressure sensor and the power output
stage for control of the ignition coil. It is fitted to the left wheelhouse and is installed with heat
conducting paste. The control unit receives information concerning engine speed (crankshaft
position), intake manifold vacuum (load condition), engine temperature (coolant), and full load
(throttle valve switch).
Ignition Map
The EZL control unit compares information from these inputs with ignition maps for typical load and
speed ranges which are stored in the microcomputer. The optimal ignition timing for each operating
condition is instantaneously determined from the stored maps and the power output stage switches
the primary current of the ignition coil between terminals 16 and 31 of the control unit. Furthermore,
a TD (engine speed) signal is provided to the CIS-E control unit, tachometer, fuel pump relay, and
diagnostic socket. During cranking and up to approx. 450 RPM, the ignition timing is controlled via
the segment edges (fixed) of the flywheel. After approx. 460 RPM has been attained a transition
from the fixed ignition timing to dynamic ignition timing (instantaneous, ignition map comparison) is
made. Various ignition characteristic curves are inhibited in the warm-up range depending on the
coolant temperature in order to reach the normal operating temperature as rapidly as possible.
When a full load signal is received from the throttle valve switch the control unit adapts a fixed full
load ignition map characteristic. At temperatures above approx. 203°F the ignition will be retarded
to counter any further rise in temperature.

Tire - Aerosol Inflator/Sealer Flammability Hazard
Spare Tire: Technical Service Bulletins Tire - Aerosol Inflator/Sealer Flammability Hazard
REF. NO. MBNA 40/16
IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVISORY
All appropriate personnel should be informed of this potential hazard and a copy of this Service
Information should be posted near the changing equipment.
DATE: December 1990 REF. NO. MBNA 40/16
SUBJECT: AEROSOL TIRE INFLATOR/SEALER FLAMMABILITY HAZARD
During dismounting of any tire from a wheel rim we recommend, effectively immediately, that you
take the following precautions:
^ ALL WHEELS SHOULD BE HANDLED AS IF THEY CONTAIN AN EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE

OR EXPLOSIVE GAS USED TO SEAL AND INFLATE THE TIRE AS A TEMPORARY REPAIR
PRODUCT.
^ KEEP SPARKS, FIRE OR OTHER IGNITION SOURCES THAT COULD EXPLODE THE GAS IF
PRESENT, AWAY FROM THE DEFLATION/DIS-MOUNTING AREA.
^ INFLATE AND DEFLATE THE TIRE FOUR (4) TIMES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO BREAK THE
BEAD.
^ NEVER REPAIR A TIRE OR RIM BEFORE COMPLETELY REMOVING THE TIRE FROM THE
RIM. THIS INCLUDES WELDING, USING A TIRE REAMER, RASP, PLUG OR SIMILAR TOOL.
We are providing this advisory based on information from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission which has received reports of more than 6 deaths/serious injuries associated with the
explosive ignition of the propellant gas in tires which were being repaired. The injuries have
included brain damage, loss of vision, loss of hearing, and broken bones.
The product involved is an aerosol can holding a liquid (latex) sealer and a propellant of
pressurized gas (propane/butane). The contents of the can is emptied into a flat tire to temporarily
seal/inflate it.
Be aware that millions of cans using flammable gas products are used each year and therefore a
safe course of action is to assume any tire/wheel is inflated with a flammable gas. Recently
marketed products may have a peel-off warning label (such as the ones depicted below) which
consumers are asked to affix to the wheel.
DO NOT RELY ON FINDING A LABEL OR CUSTOMER INFORMATION. TREAT EVERY WHEEL

AS IF AN INFLATOR/SEALER WITH A FLAMMABLE GAS WAS USED!

SUBJECT: All Models
Chrome Plating of Mercedes-Benz Light Alloy Wheels
Warning!
Chrome plating of Mercedes-Benz light alloy wheels is not recommended.
The reason that we do not recommend chrome plating is as follows:
When chrome plating an Mercedes-Benz light alloy wheel, the wheel must first be anodized
(copper plated).
The difference in EMF (Electro-Motive Force) values between copper and aluminum results in
electrolytic corrosion with aluminum being the sacrificial metal. This will result in weakening of the
base metal as well as poor adhesion of the subsequent plating, and thereby premature flaking of
the chrome finish.
Wheels of cast light alloy, with their porous surface, are even more susceptible to this condition
than those of forged light alloys.

Use only premium, leaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number (posted at
the pump) must be at least 91 min. It is an average of both the research (R) octane number and the
Motor (M) octane number: (R+M)/2. This is also known as, the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX.
CAUTION!:
To maintain the engine's durability and performance, premium unleaded gasoline must be used. If
premium unleaded is not available and low octane fuel is used, follow these precautions:
^ Have the fuel tank filled only partially with unleaded regular and fill up with premium unleaded as
soon as possible.
^ Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
^ Do not exceed an engine speed of 2,000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded with a light load, such as two
persons and no luggage.
^ Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded, towing a
trailer or operating in mountainous terrain.
Model years 1975-1985 and M.Y. 1986 model 190E 2.3
Use regular unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be at least 87 min (premium unleaded may also be used).
Model years 1972-1974
Use leaded or unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number (posted at
the pump) must be at least 87 min. When only unleaded gasoline is being used, check valve
clearance at half the recommended interval.
Pre-model year 1972
Use premium unleaded gasoline meeting ASTM standard D439. The octane number (posted at the
pump) must be at least 91 min. Check valve clearance at half the recommended interval.
2. Diesel Engines
Use only commercially available vehicular diesel fuels No. 2 or No. 1 (ASTM D975 No. 2-D or No.
1-D).
For information on cold weather operation, refer to the respective Owner's Manual or Service
Information MBNA 00/07, November 1982.
3. Approved Additives - For Diesel Fuel
CAUTION!:
If non-approved fuel additives are used in vehicles with a Trap Oxidizer, the Trap Oxidizer could be
damaged, resulting in severe engine power loss and expensive repairs not covered under the new
vehicle warranty.

Coolant: Service and Repair
AH20.00-N-2080-01A Notes on coolant
Coolant composition
passenger car and commercial vehicle engines (normally)
50 water in % by volume and 50 corrosion/antifreeze agent in % by volume.
Observe different coolant composition for CV engines.
Tasks of corrosion and frost protection
^ Corrosion and cavitation protection of all components in cooling system
^ Antifreeze protection (frost protection)
^ Increase the boiling point so that coolant does not evaporate so rapidly. Avoiding ejection of
coolant at high coolant temperatures.
Antifreeze protection
50% by volume of anticorrosion/ antifreeze agent offers antifreeze protection down to approx.
-37°C A higher concentration is only necessary if the ambient temperatures are even lower. 55 %
by volume of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent offers antifreeze protection down to approx. -45°C.
A concentration of more than 55 % by volume of anticorrosion/ antifreeze agent should not be used
as the maximum antifreeze protection is already reached. An even higher concentration once
reduces antifreeze protection and impairs heat dissipation. Reduced heat dissipation can lead to
damage to components in the cooling system or damage to the engine.
Water
Use water which is clean and not too hard. Drinking water often satisfies requirements, but not
always the contents 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 can be taken from the maintenance booklet.
Before pouring in fresh coolant, flush the used coolant out of the cooling system. In the event of
high pollution or oil fouling levels, clean the cooling system, otherwise damage can occur to the
components of the cooling system.
Disposing of coolants
Pay attention to legal provisions and local wastewater regulations.

unit provides an output signal for operation of the fuel pump relay, air injection relay, diagnostic
socket (air/fuel mixture information, and fault diagnosis), and the "CHECK ENGINE" light operation.
Malfunctions resulting from open or short circuits or failure of the oxygen sensor will be indicated by
the "CHECK ENGINE" light at the instrument cluster. Because the CIS-E control unit does not have
memory capabilities, intermittent failures may cause the "CHECK ENGINE" light to flicker or go out
when the fault is not present. Fault diagnosis is accomplished by the use of the Bosch on/off ratio
tester ((Bosch KDJE-P 600, lambda tester) via the diagnostic socket.

Examination of returned oil level sensors often indicates no faults in the component. To avoid
unnecessary removal, this S.I. explains the operation and testing of the oil level indicator.
A. Function/Testing of the Low Oil Level Indicator
1. Function The low oil level indicator monitors the oil level in the oil pan when the engine is
running and when the oil temperature is over 60~ C (under 60~ C there is no low oil level
indication). The indicator lamp comes on when the ignition is turned on, and goes out as soon as
the engine is running.

SUBJECT: ALL MODELS USING R12 REFRIGERANT IN VEHICLES USING NIPPONDENSO

10P, 10PA A/C COMPRESSORS, CONVERSION OF R12 TO ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
R134a
General Information
With the introduction of model 140 in model year 1992. Mercedes-Benz was the first car
manufacturer worldwide to use environmentally friendly refrigerant R134a. Beginning in 1991, all
other models (except 201) were converted to use refrigerant R134a.
Due to the increasingly scarce availability and eventual production phase out (1995) of refrigerant
R12, models using Nippondenso 10P and 10PA A/C compressors may be converted for use with
refrigerant R134a.
In case of a necessary repair under the terms of the Limited New Vehicle Warranty or the Spare
Parts Warranty and if R12 is no longer available, a warranty claim for the conversion can be
submitted. In all other cases any conversion to R134a is the responsibility of the vehicle owner.
In performing this conversion, the following steps must be followed:
A. Preparation/Testing of the A/C system B. Testing A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks C. Removal
of Mineral Oil from A/C System D. Replacing Receiver/Drier E. Installation of Service Valves F.
Filling A/C System with R134a Refrigerant
G. Affixing new R134a Label H. Performing Final; Function Test of A/C System
Conversion Steps A - H
Before proceeding with the conversion to refrigerant R134a, park vehicle inside workshop and
allow vehicle to attain workshop temperature (approx. 70 ° F).
A. Preparation/Testing of the A/C System
B. Testing A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks 1. If A/C system is void of any R12 refrigerant or the
compressor will not engage, check refrigerant compressor for binding by rotating A/C
compressor by hand.

in the form of a resistance value. Under certain operating conditions, if the exhaust gas
temperature decreases to less than approx. 290°F while driving, the CIS-E control unit will
recognize this as a fault (no exhaust gas recirculation). The "Check Engine" light will illuminate and
a fault code will be stored in the ECU memory.

Air Flow Sensor
Air Flow Meter/Sensor: Description and Operation Air Flow Sensor
The air flow sensor is mounted in the intake air stream between the air cleaner and throttle plate
valve. The unit consists of an air flow sensor plate, venturi funnel, and a sensor plate position
sensor. The air flow sensor plate is mechanically connected to the control plunger in the fuel
distributor, causing the plunger to rise and fall in direct relation to the amount of air entering the
engine.
Air Flow Funnel Principle
Air/fuel mixtures are also tailored to engine operating conditions by the venturi shape of the cone in
which the air flow sensor plate operates. At idle, when air flow volume is relatively low, the cone
shape increases pressure above the sensor plate, providing additional force to richen air/fuel
mixtures. At part throttle the cone design causes the sensor plate to float higher than air flow
through a straight sided cone would dictate, providing leaner mixtures for improved economy.
During full throttle operation the venturi shape increases air velocity, providing additional force on
the sensor plate and richer air/fuel mixtures for maximum power output.

Air Injection takes place only when the coolant temperature is between 17°C (63°F) and 70°C
(158°F), the engine speed is less than 2500 RPM, the full load contact is not closed, and the
oxygen sensor is not in closed loop operation. Under these conditions the electromagnetic clutch of
the air pump is switched on by the CIS-E control unit via the air injection relay. The injection relay
simultaneously powers the change-over valve which provides vacuum to the air shut-off valve in
the pump circuit. Air is then pumped through the check valve and into the exhaust ports of the
cylinder heads.

Coolant: Service Precautions
AH20.00-N-2080-01A Notes On Coolant
Coolant composition Passenger car and commercial vehicle engines (normally): 50% water by
volume and 50% anticorrosion/antifreeze agent by volume.
Different coolant composition for CV engines, refer to MB Specifications for Operating Fluids.
Tasks of anticorrosion/antifreeze agent
- Corrosion and cavitation protection for all components in cooling system.
- Antifreeze protection (frost protection).
- Increase the boiling point so that coolant does not evaporate so rapidly. Avoiding ejection of
coolant at high coolant temperatures.
Water Use water which is clean and not too hard. Drinking water often satisfies requirements, but
not always. The amount of dissolved substances in the water may be of significance for the
occurrence of corrosion. If in doubt, analyze the water. For fresh water specifications refer to MB
Specifications for Operating Fluids.
Period of use The maximum permissible period of use of the coolant is given in the maintenance
booklet, the applicable "Service/Maintenance Sheet" or the MB-Specifications for Operating Fluids.
For the period of use for a varying coolant composition for CV engines, refer to MB Specifications
for Operating Fluids.
Before pouring in fresh coolant, flush the used coolant out of the cooling system. In the case of
severe fouling by dirt or oil, clean the cooling system otherwise components of the cooling system
can be damaged.
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.
Disposing of coolants Observe the legal provisions and local waste water regulations.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation
Spark Plug View
The spark plugs provide the gap across which the high tension voltage jumps, to create the spark
that ignites the compressed air-fuel mixture. The center electrode is insulated from the spark plug
shell by means of a porcelain insulator. The side electrode protrudes from the bottom edge of the
spark plug shell. It is positioned so that there is a gap between it and the center electrode.

Revision: Updated approved tire list for all Model Years through 1999
SUBJECT: ALL MODELS, MODEL YEARS 1986-1999 FACTORY-APPROVED

SUMMER/ALL-SEASON/WINTER TIRES, FACTORY-APPROVED SUMMER TIRES FOR
ACCESSORY WHEELS
AND STEEL WHEELS FOR WINTER TIRES
This following is a list of summer/winter tires, steel wheels and snow chains currently approved by
DaimlerChysler AG for all Mercedes-Benz models sold in the USA/Canada by MBUSA/MBC
starting 1986 through 1999. A chart showing the maximum speed ratings is also included.
We recommend that only DaimlerChrysler AG approved tires be used on any Mercedes-Benz

vehicle.
Note:
Some of the approved tires listed may not be factory installed on USA or Canadian Mercedes-Benz
passenger cars and may not be available in the USA or Canada, or their production may be
discontinued by the manufacturer. If the original tire is no longer available for replacement
purposes, a replacement tire from the same manufacturer with the same size, speed and load
rating but with a different sidewall and/or tread pattern may be substituted.
For those models where the Operator's Manual indicates there is sufficient clearance for snow
chains, approved snow chains can be purchased directly from:
RUD Chain Inc. P.O. Box 8145 Cedar Rapids, IA 52408 Phone: (319) 390~040
The approved snow chain model is the Euromatic S.
^ Speed and load ratings for the previous VR tires can be confirmed by the individual tire
manufacturer.
^ The tire speed rating symbol "W" has been added to the familiar speed symbols
"Q/R/S/T/H/V/VR/ZR". This new symbol is used to designate tires approved for a top speed of 162
mph. When installing new tires, these tires can be used to replace VR and ZR tires, because the
affected vehicles have a limited top speed of 150 mph.
