Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Important!
The ABS malfunction indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster comes on with
the key in steering lock position 2 and
should go out with the engine running.
Warning!
Even the ABS cannot prevent the
natural laws of physics from acting
on the vehicle. The ABS cannot
prevent accidents, including those
resulting from excessive speed in
turns, following another vehicle too
closely, or aquaplaning. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents. The capabilities
of an ABS equipped car must never
be exploited in a reckless or
The ABS improves steering control of
the vehicle during braking maneuvers.
For maximum benefit, do not pump the
brake pedal, rather use firm, steady
brake pedal pressure.
If the charging voltage falls below 10
volts, the malfunction indicator lamp
comes on and the ABS is switched off.
When the voltage is above this value

switched off. In thus case, the brake
system functions in the usual manner,
but without antilock assistance.
At the instant one of the wheels is
about to lock up, a slight pulsation can
be felt in the brake pedal, indicating
that the ABS is in the regulating mode.
Notes:
To alert following vehicles to slippery
road conditions you discover, operate
your hazard warning flashers as
appropriate.
Have  the   system  checked   at  your
authorized  Mercedes-Benz  dealer  as
soon as possible.
On slippery road surfaces, the ABS
will respond even with only slight
brake pedal pressure. The pulsating
brake pedal can be an indication of
hazardous road conditions and
functions as a reminder to take extra
care while driving.
With the ABS malfunctioning, the
ETS or ASR are also switched off.
Both malfunction indicator lamps
come on with the key in steering lock
position 2.

Richard Conrad on Apr 17, 2016. Great resource

My owner's manual has been damaged and unreadable in certain areas. This was a tremendous resource!

This cat is awesome. I love how sturdy the body is while making turns or passing through man holes. This is the type of car body I know will save my life in accidents. My other Benz a C320 saved my spouse's life before it was totaled. An inconsiderate, mindless driver who was trying to beat a red light hit my Benz. God Bless my spouse only suffered a contusion & lacerations on his left arm. If you saw my Benz uou will be amazed how little injuries my spouse suffered. My current SL500 is actually the teplacementv. fot my beloved C320. German metal is the best. Gives you security & confidence driving among crazy drivers around the world.

Just excellent that I was fortunate to find this site.
Please note that pages 35 and 37 have over-written script from other pages. This makes it difficult, but not impossible, to read those contents. Fortunately, they are not critical to my needs.

  1. I do have one, but Very nice to have available here ! I was wondering if I should make a copy of mine just so Id have one, in case of losing it? But no need, great to have one available as you supplied. Thanks

    Would you know by chance where I could get a Service Manual, or Shop Manual for the 94 SL 600 ? Would really like one ! Thanks again, Merv
