It is recommended to place the child seat in the rear area if

possible.

If, in exceptional cases, the owner wishes a rearward mounted child
seat to be expressly attached on the front passenger seat, the front

passenger airbag should be immobilized.

As a general rule, there is no approval for immobilizing the front

passenger airbag on models fitted with ACSR, which is visible from

the "airbag OFF" indicator light in the center console. On such

models, an MB child seat with ACSR should be used for safety and

cost reasons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On models fitted with seat belt force limiter, it is essential for

safety reasons to

D
program the front passenger ETR to "NO".

D
unplug the connector at the front passenger ETR.

No provision is made for immobilizing the seat occupied

recognition, the automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), as well as

the side airbag and window airbag.

In the event that it is necessary to immobilize the seat occupied

recognition and automatic child seat recognition (ACSR), for example

if a Recaro seat is installed, this can be carried out in exceptional

cases after agreement has been obtained from GSP/SPS, tel. 07031

/ 90 - 81815.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After immobilizing the front passenger airbag or additionally the

ETR, it is essential to

D
have the customer sign the confirmation after immobilization.

D
affix a sticker at a clearly visible point in the area of the front

passenger airbag.

D
affix a sticker in the Owner's Manual, in the section Airbag.

Carry out the remaining procedure as stated below.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deactivation can be reversed at any time.

Immobilization and re-activation must be entered in the

vehicle documents!

The vehicle should be presented in such a case to a technical

inspection center (DEKRA, TÜV). The completed confirmation

should be submitted to the vehicle registration authorities for

entry.

Oil sludging in gasoline engines with ASSYST maintenance

system

Recently we have determined that time and time again oil

sludging occurs in gasoline engines with an ASSYST maintenance

system.

Oil sludging can lead to the following complaints:
D
engine oil consumption

D
engine smoke (white/blue)

D
influencing of oil level indicator

D
clogged oil filter, engine oil thickened like jelly

D
Check engine lamp illuminated

D
oil sludge visible during assembly job, e.g. in oil filter, in cylinder

head covers, condensation sludging
(engine 166) etc.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following list of causes may lead individually or as a combination
to engine oil sludging:

D
Crankcase ventilation inoperable, function orifices, bores,

passages in cylinder head cover, cylinder head, crankcase etc.

are mechanically sealed. A nonfunctioning crankcase

ventilation boosts loads on the engine oil through organic

nitrates. The risk of oil sludging increases.

The mechanical condition of the engine is always to be

checked, i.e. all engine oil drain orifices on the cylinder head

and crankcase and all crankcase ventilation ducts must be free

of obstacles. Crankcase breather lines may not be kinked.
Check the ventilation bores in the cylinder head covers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D
The engine oil used does not comply with the specifications in

Sheet 229.1 or 229.3 of the Specifications for Service Products.

The additive process, e.g. dirt-carrying capability, neutralization

capability and oxidation resistance as well as the quality of the

base stock influence sludging time.

Use of engine oils with best possible resistance to formation of

sludge, i.e. use only tested and approved engine oils (from

Sheet 229.1 or 229.3). The best protection is afforded by the

engine oils on Sheet 229.3, which fulfill more stringent

specifications with regard to preventing sludge and deposits
(see Sheet 221.0, page 11). These oils have a distinctly better

anti-sludge characteristic than other engine oils.

D
Sludging after adding a fuel or engine oil special additive.

Do not use fuel or engine oil special additives. More information

hereto is available on Sheet 219.0 of the Specifications for

Service products. Reference to customer not to use special

additives.

D
Engine oil change not performed according to ASSYST

specifications. At driven distances

exceeding > approx. 3000 km, engine oil sludging may occur.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comply with engine oil and filter change as under ASSYST

specifications. Observe remaining distance.

D
Fuel grade lies outside standard (regionally contingent). If

contaminated, deficient fuel is used, then engine oil sludging

may occur even where approved engine oil is used.

Operation with fuel, e.g. as under DIN EN 228. Clarify refueling

behavior of customer. If engine operation regional, is

temporarily possible with deficient oil only, then the startup

distance has to be individually reduced, i.e. the oil change

temporarily performed at an interval of, e.g. 10,000 km.

D
Radiator antifreeze penetration into engine oil, e.g. through an

internal engine leak (cylinder head gasket, casting porosity).

The engine oil sludges within a short period. The crankcase

ventilation clogs up and stops functioning. Condensation

sludging clogs up the oil separator cells

(engine 166).
Rectify coolant leakage. Clean all sludged engine parts, in

particular the crankcase ventilation parts. If the occurrence

repeats, and casting porosity is suspected, e.g. replace

crankcase.

The sliding /pop-up roof is a combination of a sliding roof and pop-up

roof. It is controlled by the motor for the
sliding /pop-up roof drive

assembly (M12)
located on the sliding roof frame below the

overhead control panel.

Two types of control are possible:

D
Opening/closing sliding roof (sliding roof opens toward rear)

D
Opening/closing pop-up roof

The sliding and pop-up roof cannot be opened simultaneously.

Operation is controlled by the
sliding/pop-up roof switch (S13/2)
in

the overhead control module.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following functions can be controlled with the switch:

D
Closing
sliding /pop-up roof (1 or 3); the sliding roof or pop-up

roof is closed depending on which is open.

D
Opening
sliding roof (2); if the pop-up roof is open it is closed

previously.
