Owner's manual with detailed instructions for understanding, operating and caring for the main systems of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class W164.
Introduced in 2005 as the successor to the W163, the second-generation M-Class adopted a unibody structure, a more aerodynamic design and driving characteristics intended to combine on-road comfort with off-road capability. The W164 Series also expanded the use of electronic safety and assistance systems while retaining all-wheel drive as one of the range's defining features.
This manual explains the location and operation of the controls, instrument cluster, keys, seats, lighting, climate control and multimedia functions. It also covers the automatic transmission, driving programs, safety systems and features available according to the vehicle's equipment.
The document contains instructions for checking the engine oil, coolant, tires and other essential items before a journey. It also explains the maintenance indicator, vehicle care, winter driving, snow chains and recommendations for off-road driving and trailer towing.
The practical hints section helps the owner interpret warning lamps and instrument cluster messages, locate the first aid kit and vehicle tools, replace bulbs and wiper blades, change a wheel, jump-start the vehicle and follow emergency unlocking or towing procedures.
The manual provides identification data, poly-V-belt diagrams, engine specifications, wheel and tire information, dimensions, weights and capacities. It also contains guidance about fuels, engine oils, brake fluid, coolant and other products required for vehicle operation.
