GPS G lobal P ositioning S ystem. Satellite-supported system for precise positioning and navigation. At
present 26 satellites are in operation orbiting the earth on 6 orbits.
AMPS: A dvanced M obile P hone S ystem. The AMPS network is now available to 98% of the
population in the most densely-populated areas of the USA .
SOC: S ervice O perating Center. The SOC takes over all individual requirements of the driver and
transmits the corresponding information to the vehicle.
Concept of personal information service:
Individual information and news transmission according to personal interest profile (stock exchange,
weather, sport...)
Transmitting a request via a button (SVC button) to the S ervice O perating C enter (SOC )
e S ervice O perating C enter (SOC ) transmits the customer profile corresponding to the individual
information and news.
The data transmitted is indicated on the display of the radio and navigation module (A2/56) and can
then be read.

W4B035.
3.2 Automatic transmission fluids (ATF), sheet 236.2 , for MB passenger car and commercial vehicle
transmissions with non-ferrous metal synchronization except front-wheel drive manual transmissions of
the A-Class (see Section 2.5, Sheet 235.10), Allison transmission, commercial vehicle power steering,
hydraulic fan drive.
The ATF must meet all the requirements of the transmissions with nonferrous metal synchronization.
These include, in particular, wear protection against pitting and seizure as well as a defined friction
coefficient of the synchronizer components that is as constant as possible over the entire service life. As a
hydraulic fluid, the ATF is used for hydraulic power transmission and for protecting the hydraulic
assemblies from wear. The seal compatibility must be ensured with all elastomer materials used.
If the approved ATF are not available, engine oils according to sheet 227.0, SAE 10W or, depending on
the outside temperature, 20W-20 can be used in the above-mentioned synchronized manual transmissions
as a makeshift measure (queries should be directed to the Abt. Betriebstoffe EP/QWB (EP/QWB
Operating Fluids Dept.).
The approved ATF according to Sheet 236.2 correspond to the currently no longer valid GM specification
Type A Suffix A. The kinematic fresh oil viscosity at 100°C must be at least 7.0 mm
2 /s, after shearing
(as per CEC- TLPG 7) at least 6.0 mm
2 s.
3.3 Steering gear oil, sheet 236.3 , for all commercial vehicle steering systems, except vans T0 and T1N,
power steering systems for passenger cars, except
S-Class W220, power pack of the A-Class, and cross-country vehicles, manual steering L 075 Z for
passenger cars and manual steering in cross-country vehicle.
In the S class W220, in the Power-Pack of the A class as well as in the Transporters T0 and T1N as
of/below outside temperatures of 25°C the hydraulic fluids according to sheet 345.0 must be used.
3.4 Automatic transmission fluids (ATF) and/or engine oils, sheet 236.5 , for Allison transmission HAT
700
The oils listed here correspond to the Allison-C4 specification. Allison automatic transmissions in makes
AT 500, MT 600, S1000, S2000, World Transmission MD 3000, HD 4000 must only be filled with the
oils specified in Sheet 236.9 or TES 295.
If prior to starting the vehicle the gear oil temperature is below the critical temperature for the oil used,
then either the gear oil should be prewarmed or the transmission should be warmed up while in neutral.
Automatic transmissions in the model series CLBT 750 must only ever be filled with oils according to
Sheet 236.5. Under extreme operating conditions or for off-road use and/or with outside temperatures
higher than 30°C an engine oil of SAE grade 30 and/or 15W-40 from Sheet 236.5 should be used.
Depending on the outside temperature during vehicle operation, the oils used must be selected from the
followin
g diagram according to their SAE viscosity class and/or Dexron specification:

The opening angle of the throttle valve will only be determined by the accelerator pedal specification when no
limiting functions are active.
The accelerator pedal position is detected by the set value potentiometer (B37r1) or Hall sensor in the pedal
value sensor (B37) and information is released to the ME control unit (N3/10). In this way, the ME-SFI control
unit determines the position of the throttle valve and actuates the throttle valve motor (M16/1 m1).
The actual value potentiometer in the actuator (M16/1r1) signals the throttle valve position back to the ME-SFI
control unit.
The second potentiometer in the actuator (M16/1 r2) and the second signal from the pedal value sensor
(potentiometer or Hall sensor) supplies a reference value for the plausibility check. In addition, the system
switches over to the second potentiometer or the Hall sensor if the first potentiometer or Hall sensor fails
(emergency mode).
Adaptive accelerator pedal (model 203, 209, 211, 215, 220, 230):
The engine control unit recognizes how the accelerator pedal is being actuated and switches between
characteristic curves. Eighty percent of the engine load is released for a pedal travel of about 50 % for a sporty
driver and about 40 % for a quiet driver. There is no further difference felt above a pedal travel of about 90 %.

If, for example, the characteristic curve for a quiet driver is active after a long drive on the motorway then the
accelerator pedal must be pressed down unusually hard to obtain a higher acceleration level.
Kickdown switch (S16/6)
The kickdown switch was no longer used from 9/01. Recognition of full load is now achieved over the signal
from the pedal value sensor. The pressure point on the accelerator pedal before achieving the full load position
remains.
