"Retarded" if:
Intake air temperature > 35 °C
Coolant temperature > 105 °C
In supercharged engines the charge air temperature is used as information for the ignition timing adjustment in
place of the intake air temperature.

The values of the retardation of the ignition angle of intake air temperature and coolant temperature are added
together.
2.5 Transmission overload protection
In order to protect the shift elements of the automatic transmission during power shifts (1-2-1, 2-3-2) from
excessive thermal stresses, the ignition angle is briefly retarded during the gearshift and the engine torque
reduced as a result. The ME-SFI control units are supplied with a signal for this purpose from the ETC control
unit (N15/3) over the CAN databus.
2.6 ESP/ASR control mode
In order to reduce the engine torque as rapidly as possible in the ESP/ ASR control mode, the ignition angle is
retarded by the throttle valve actuator (opening angle reduced) prior to the control mode being activated. The
information from the ESP/ASR control unit is supplied over the CAN databus to the ME-SFI control unit.
2.7 Anti-knock control (AKC)
If uncontrolled combustion (knocking) occurs at one or several cylinders, the ignition angle at the relevant
cylinder or cylinders is "Retarded".
2.8 Smooth engine running analysis
To restrain the three way catalytic converter from thermal overload through combustion misfiring and in order
to keep the exhaust emission values, the smooth operation of the engine is continuously monitored.
If combustion misfiring is identified at one or several cylinders, the corresponding fuel injection valves are no
longer actuated after a certain number of misfires.
Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120: Smooth operation evaluation is performed through the signals of the
crankshaft position sensor.
Engine 137: Identification of combustion misfiring by means of ionic current signal, see ECI ignition system
function.

Two spark plugs for each cylinder are beneficial because of the arrangement of the valves for achieving optimal
emission levels and smooth engine running.
Each spark plug is actuated separately by the ME-SFI control unit through its own ignition coil. On engine 112,
113 both ignition coils of a cylinder are combined to form a dual ignition coil.
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. In this case, the sequence of actuation is constantly varied in order to achieve a uniform wear of
both spark plugs and to avoid deposits on only one side of the combustion chamber.

For troubleshooting in the dual ignition system, it is possible to switch off one ignition circuit each with HHT or
STAR DIAGNOSIS.
