Antitheft System - Interruptions In Radio Operated Systems

Order No.: V-B-80.57/01

Group: 80

SUBJECT:

MY-All, Models 903, 904, 906

Interruptions in Radio-Operated Vehicle Systems

In the frequency range of the transmitter key or KEYLESS-GO, many other radio-operated systems can also be transmitting and with a stronger

signal. Systems such as, radio frequency headphones, radio thermometer, garage door opener, alarm systems, etc. can prevent or interrupt unlocking,

locking, and engine starting via a KEYLESS-GO.

Fortunately, in parallel with radio remote control, most MB vehicles also have infrared remote control, so that even with radio disturbance, the

transmitter key will unlock and lock at short range. Exceptions are the 903 and the 904 as they do not have additional infrared remote control, but the

mechanical key will always work.

Advise customers that taking a vehicle key is always recommended as it is conceivable that a criminal might use a radio interferer to block the

locking of a vehicle. Locking is ensured by 3-signal flashing.

MY-All, Model 906 with Codes C40 Front Axle Stabilizer Bar and C45 Reinforced Front

Axle Stabilizer Bar (except Codes ZG1 Engageable All-Wheel Drive and Except Code ZG3

Engageable All-Wheel Drive With Gear Reduction)

Replacing Torsion Bar Mounts

As of production period 07/2010, a modified rubber

mount (Figure 1) (1) to the stabilizer bar on the front axle is available. In contrast to the old rubber mount Figure 1 (3) this is a torsion bearing,

which has to be installed and bolted at the zero position. The stabilizer bar (Figure 1) (2) is then hooked into the link rods.

When a repair is necessary only install the new rubber mounts (Figure 1) (1) and make sure to do both

sides.

The bearing shells with bolts must also be replaced to maintain proper balance of the parts.

See WIS document AR32.20-D-0300H for instructions on removing and installing the stabilizer bar on the front axle.

Test and Adjustment Values for Torsion Bar

The Installed dimension for the lower edge of front axle carrier to stabilizer bar (Figure 2) (dimension A) is 59.5mm. (WIS document
