Ashtray Illumination Connector
Pay attention to the correct contacting for the connectors of the ashtray illumination and label illumination for the ashtray cover. Remember to mark
the lines before disconnecting them and upon conclusion of the work, carry out a function check with the ignition switched on and the interior
illumination activated.
Carry out function check for other-make installations in the area of the center console (front or rear) and produce the original condition of plug
couplings. As a result connected work must be billed to the customer and must not be invoiced via warranty and goodwill.
Refer to SI54.21-P-0007A Malfunctions due to other-make installations.
Should vehicle electronics fail in any control unit with no corresponding fault entry, check for foreign parts in the interior wiring harness of the
vehicle. (Note example of TV enable module for COMAND APS NTG2 in Figure 1.)
Sample malfunctions might be:
^ Random unlocking or locking of the vehicle while driving
^ Temporary or continuous set off of the hazard warning system
^ Sudden rise in travel distance in the IC.
The presence of non-approved accessories will null and void any warranty obligations and material defect liability obligations, where the installation
of non-approved accessories has caused faults or damage.
Repair costs must then be charged to the customer and they must not be settled through warranty claims.

Order No.: S-B-98.00/28
Group: 98
SUBJECT:
Models 164,170,171, 203, 204, 207, 209, 211, 212, 215, 216, 219, 220, 221, 230, 251, 463
Clearcoat Paint Systems with Higher Scratch Resistance
Since June 2002, starting with the model 215, clear paint Systems with higher scratch resistance came into use. The changeover took place in the
following years and was completed by mid 2004.
From June 2002 up to 06/30/2010 with a few exception (see Table) all vehicles with a more scratch resistant clear paint system, are marked with a
"C" in front of the paint code on the model plate.
As since 2005 on all models only the scratch resistant clear paint systems are always used, the identification "C" is deleted as of 7/1/2010.
In the table below, the data for the production changeover and marking are once again listed for the period 2002 up to June 2010.
Special protection vehicles (Guard) were painted with conventional dual-component Systems up to 01/2005 The changeover to the new scratch
resistant systems took place in 02/2005. As of this time all vehicles are also marked with a "C".
In collaboration with all of our approved paint partners suitable paint repair systems have been developed for the new clearcoat paints with improved
scratch resistance and these have been approved after comprehensive on-road testing.
All the paint partners we approve have incorporated the repair instructions and materials to be used in their repair guidelines.
These can be found on the After-Sales paint technology internet page.
The paint specialists of these companies are also available to help you on site, if required. Please remember to ensure without fail, that only these
2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)

approved refinish systems are used for paint repair.
This also always applies to Mercedes-Benz service operations that out source their paint work to external paint operators.
These Mercedes-Benz service operations are responsible for ensuring that only the approved refinish systems are used.
The application methods have not been changed.
The plastic attachment parts continue to be coated with conventional 2-K-clear coats. In the case of repair we recommend the scratch resistant repair
systems for plastic parts.
The existing sanding and polishing process has been changed. These techniques for scratch resistant paint are described in the work instructions
AR98.00-P-0012A.
The process and auxiliary materials to be used and the required workshop equipment are specified in detail.
Training courses on offer
Please remember that our paint and polish partners offer a wide variety of training courses on repair materials and processes, which are normally free
of charge.
According to our knowledge the training capacities of the paint suppliers are underutilized. We therefore ask you to take advantage of the
qualifications of the paint specialists within the market. This is the only way of ensuring a smooth repair procedure, which provides customer
satisfaction with proven Mercedes-Benz quality.
If you have any questions contact your Technical Representative.

Validity All vehicles
Reason for change Remedy revised and the new model series incorporated / Supersedes DTB T-B-82.10/334
Complaint:
Headlamps/front fog lamps leaking or fogged
Cause:
As the headlamp is cooling down, e.g. after switching off, in rain or when washed, air is drawn in and the moisture from the air condenses on the
headlamp lens.
The ventilation of the headlamps ensures that this condensation is dissipated again after a short period of operation.
If the customer complains about fogging that is not present at the time of the workshop visit, then this is condensation. For these reasons,
condensation is a natural phenomenon and does not indicate a defect or malfunction; warranty and goodwill claims with this complaint will be
rejected.
Remedy:
Remedy 1:
A defective headlamp can be identified as follows:
1. Check headlamps for external damage and also check for correct seating/locking of the caps.
2. If the headlamp exhibits external damage:
3. Remove/install/replace headlamp.
4. Check headlamp setting and correct if necessary.
Note:
If there is external damage on the headlamp or if the caps are not correctly seated/locked, there is no grounds for a warranty or goodwill
case.
Remedy 2:
Clearing fogged/condensed headlamps:
1. Drive the vehicle into the workshop and connect the exhaust extractor.
Note:
In dry weather (temperature higher than +15°C/+59°F), you can also treat the vehicle out of doors.
Do not perform an engine wash before the defogging test.
2. Start the engine and switch on the following lights:
a. Main headlamps and front fog lamps fogged: High and low beams, front fog lamps, hazard warning system.
b. Only front fog lamps fogged: Front fog lamps.
3. Leave the vehicle in this state for 40 minutes.
4. Switch off all lights and the engine.
5. Check the fogging; a noticeable reduction in the amount of fogging must be visible (progress of defogging process).
2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)

Note:
If no reduction in the degree of fogging is visible, the headlamp is defective and must be replaced.
It is not physically possible to defog the headlamps completely.
Fogging does not impair the operation or the service life of the headlamp.

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 163 and the 170 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.

Malfunctions Due to Other-Make Installations
Recent attempts manipulating vehicle mileage through the use of third party electronic devices installed on Mercedes-Benz vehicles are being
reported.
There are several CAN manipulation devices on the market. Be particularly aware of two devices which are installed in tandem with the instrument
cluster or the EIS (Figure 1) and a circuit board which can be installed directly within the EIS (Figure 2).
If vehicle electronics malfunction, control units display implausible mileage readings, or malfunctions lack corresponding default entries; check the
vehicle for non-factory hardware. These are often installed in the interior wiring harness of the vehicle. Another example would be the TV enable
module for the COMAND APS NTG2 in Figure 3.
Possible malfunctions are:
2010 Mercedes Benz C 63 AMG Sedan (204.077) V8-6.3L (156.985)

^ Random unlocking or locking of the vehicle while driving
^ Temporary or continuous hazard warning system activation
^ Sudden mileage increase in the IC
If there is evidence that the vehicle has been tampered with (mileage altering device, aftermarket installation etc) please provide as much supporting
documents (pictures, test results, etc.) and send an email with the supporting documents to the Warranty Services Group and request that the vehicle
be put on warranty status.
Warranty will determine the correct status to be applied (usually status 8 which requires AOM review before any repairs are performed), file the
supporting documentation and add notes into our vehicle master system.
Any vehicle with a warranty status will have an alert box pop up when VMI is run to inform the dealer of this status.
Any malfunctions or subsequent damage to other parts due to the installation of foreign parts are not covered by Warranty. The repair costs should
be charged to the customer.

Read Out Battery Sensor Data
As of the 204 launch in 2008, diagnosis read outs have been possible for the battery sensor data stored in the signal acquisition and actuation module
(SAM), and the CAN bus keepawake unit detection in the central gateway. This data is essential in ascertaining reasons for a discharged battery.
This is described in SD media as of 11/2010 for the 204, 207, and 212 models.
The menu navigation for reading out the battery sensor data in Xentry or DAS is Illustrated in Figure 1 below.

Uprated H7 Bulbs
The new uprated H7 bulbs are available. They have approximately 80% more light and approximately 30% more road surface illumination for high
beams compared with standard H7 bulbs. Due to the brightness difference between a standard H7 bulb and an uprated H7 bulb, bulbs must be fitted
in pairs when installing for the first-time; i.e., left and right headlamp. If an uprated bulb fails, replace as a pair as it is likely that (as an example); if
a left headlamp fails, the right may follow.
The new bulbs can be recognized by their chrome-plated lamp cap, and they can be installed into all H7 halogen headlamps. The set with part
number A 000 998 00 07 contains two uprated bulbs.
The standard H7 bulb N 400809 000007 will still be available.

Electrical - Electrostatic Discharge Damage Prevention

Date: March 23, 2011

Order No: S-B-54.00/238

Group: 54

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.
