1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 SL500 SL600 R129 Owners Manual

Electronic Traction System
(ETS)
With the key in steering lock position
2, the yellow ETS malfunction
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
and the ETS warning lamp in the
speedometer dial come on. They must
go out when the engine is running.
Caution!
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised (see Towing the vehicle in
Index), or when testing the parking
brake on a brake test dynamometer, the
key must not be in steering lock
position 2. Otherwise, the electronic
traction system will immediately be
engaged and will apply the rear wheel
brakes.
The ETS improves vehicle traction,
especially under slippery road
conditions. It engages at vehicle speeds
up to approximately 24 mph (40 km/h),
and applies the brakes to the spinning
drive wheel. At approximately 50 mph
If the ETS malfunction indicator lamp
comes on with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected.
Have the ETS checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible.
(80
km/h), the ETS switches off.
The ETS warning lamp, located in the
speedometer dial, starts to flash at any
vehicle speed, as soon as the tires lose
traction and the wheels begin to spin.
Notes:
If the ETS malfunction indicator lamp
comes on while the ETS warning lamp
flashes, the electronic traction system
is being switched off temporarily to
prevent overheating of the drive wheel
brakes.
With the ABS malfunctioning, the
ETS is also switched off
Important!
If the ETS warning lamp flashes:
•
during take-off, apply as little
throttle as possible,
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the electronic traction
system is only achieved with
Mercedes-Benz recommended M + S
radial-ply tires and/or snow chains.
•
while driving, ease up on the
accelerator.
Adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions

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.

i bought a car and then discovered it didn't have the owners manual with it. not much fun having a foreign make car and not knowing how to work anything. thanks for your help.

  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
