Mercedes-Benz 180 Dc W120 Ponton Owner's Manual | PDF
Owner's manual specifically covering the Mercedes-Benz 180 Dc from the W120 Ponton Series.
Introduced in 1953, the Mercedes-Benz W120 marked an important change in the company's passenger-car design. Its Ponton body incorporated the fenders into a smoother overall shape, provided more usable interior space and established a clear visual departure from earlier Mercedes-Benz models.

It was equipped with the four-cylinder, 1,988 cc OM 621 engine, valued for economical operation and durability. This manual brings together the information needed to understand its controls, operate the vehicle correctly and perform routine checks.
The explanations help owners identify the instruments and control levers, select suitable fuels and lubricants, start and stop the engine, shift gears and adapt their driving to different conditions. Illustrations and diagrams also make components and maintenance points easier to locate.
