Mercedes-Benz W140 Instrucciones de Servicio Manual | PDF

Owner's manual containing the information needed to understand and correctly operate Mercedes-Benz S-Class W140 sedans.

Introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1991 as the successor to the W126, the Mercedes-Benz W140 began a new era for the S-Class. It was developed with particular attention to comfort, safety, sound insulation and ride quality. The range included standard-wheelbase SE sedans and long-wheelbase SEL versions, which provided an additional 100 millimeters of rear passenger space.

This manual is an early edition for the series, with an editorial closing date of July 1992. It contains instructions covering the controls, engine starting, driving, comfort and safety systems, practical checks and technical data for the included models.

The explanations are supported by illustrations of the dashboard, climate control, seats, seat belts and airbags, transmission, locking system, engine compartment and other components. This makes each function easier to identify when the printed manual originally supplied with the vehicle is no longer available.
