Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124 Owner's Manual

Mercedes Benz E-Class W124 Owner's Manual | PDF

Owner's manual for North American Mercedes-Benz E-Class 300 E 2.6, 300 E, 300 CE and 300 E 4MATIC models.

The 124 Series arrived in the mid-1980s as Mercedes-Benz's new generation of mid-size automobiles. Its development combined an aerodynamically efficient body with multi-link rear suspension, high safety standards and a wide range of configurations. The C124 coupé joined the family in 1987, during the same period in which the 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system expanded the capabilities of the series. These two developments are represented in this manual by the 300 CE and 300 E 4MATIC. From 1993, the model family was officially marketed as the E-Class.

This edition was prepared for the United States and Canada. In addition to everyday operating instructions, it contains safety warnings, driving recommendations, maintenance information and model-specific specifications for all four included versions.

Illustrations identify the instruments, interior controls, seats, airbag, power windows, engine compartment and practical service points. The section-based organization makes it easy to locate a particular function without searching through the entire document.
