Innovations and new features

V-Class

The special innovations in the new V-Class include the new liftgate and the second loading level. The V-Class can be upgraded with numerous pieces of equipment e. g. COMAND Online, ambient lighting or the 360° Camera. All lighting functions (except the backup lamp) are available optionally in LED technology. The front left (E1/1) and right (E2/1) LED lamp units with Intelligent Light System (ILS) set an optical highlight and simultaneously improve safety.

Marco Polo

The Marco Polo is available in the medium body length variant of the V-Class as a left-hand drive vehicle.

The vehicle width and vehicle length of the Marco Polo is identical to the dimensions of the V-Class. Only the height of the vehicle has increased – by approx. 10 cm – owing to the manual (as standard) and electrical (optional extra) pop-up roof.

Technical Training Courses

The following training course measures must be undertaken as part of the employee qualification process by each employee group involved:

 Service Personnel

e-Training (required training)

The objective of e-Training is to provide a rough outline of the overall vehicle. The innovations and the advantages associated with them are explained and presented here. With reference to the innovations, a part of the operations and functions are discussed such as, for example the driver assistance systems. This e-Training course is a requirement for attendance at the one-day Market Launch Training Course for service advisors and the two-day Market Launch Training Course for workshop specialists.

 Service Advisors

1 day Market Launch Training Course (required training)

In the Market Launch Training Course the vehicle is available for illustrative purposes to the service advisors. The most-important functions and how to operate them are explained here at the vehicle itself in real-time. This training course also provides information on the topics of retrofitting, accessories and service selling points.

 System Technicians

2 day Market Launch Training Course (required training)

The main focus of the Market Launch Training Course for workshop specialists is the areas of diagnosis, repair and maintenance. Many practical examples are used here to explain and provide greater understanding of the functions and how to operate them.

FUG 01 - User information

Digital Owner's Manual (DiBA)

A Digital Owner's Manual is available for the first time in the new V-Class. The customer can activate this via the Audio/COMAND control panel (A40/9) under: Menu  Vehicle  Owner's manual. However, a reduced print version will still be available in every vehicle. The Digital Owner's Manual is programmed when the Audio/COMAND control panel is started up. The matching Digital Owner's Manual software must be ordered for each vehicle through the EPC.

FUG 19 Vehicle electrical components, overall network

Function Diagnosis

A function diagnosis is available for the first time and it covers the following systems:

 Energy management

 ECO start-stop

 CAN bus

Ethernet - Diagnostics over Internet Protocol (DoIP)

The new V-Class will be equipped for the first time with en Ethernet vehicle interface for installing large volumes of data into the telematics. The high bandwidth enables speedy control unit programming for the Digital Owner's Manual and the function software for the MOST components (Audio/COMAND, sound system and the DAB tuner). Control unit programming of the function software also requires a Regio-DVD. It is distributed together with the XENTRY Diagnostics Update (DVD or XENTRY Kit BD). It should be noted here that the multiplexer is only supported from system number 40000 DoIP onwards. The device bears the inscription "SDConnect DolP" on the rear. None of this needs to be considered for XENTRY Connect.

Wiring diagrams and pictures in the Workshop Information System (WIS)

Wiring diagrams have been available in full since market launch. The function schematics and short cuts included in them, to installation locations among others, are available in WIS.

FUG 20 - Maintenance, maintenance systems (FSS, ASSYST)

Diagnosis News

This is how the workshop is informed about current changes in diagnosis for model 447.

Delivery Inspection and Maintenance

The Mercedes-Benz VAN maintenance strategy for midsize vans is also valid for the V-Class.

 "ASSYST" with starting distance "40,000 km / 2 years".

(Economic Commission for Europe (ECE), country-specific deviating kilometer intervals)

 Service A and B alternately.

 The operating fluids are based on the previously-known Specifications for Operating Fluids for Mercedes-Benz car and van model series.

 The valid documentation is available, as usual, in the WIS.

A delivery inspection is performed on the V-Class before it is handed over to the customer. The content procedure involved is available in the work instructions (AP00.20-D-1100A).

FUG 40 - Operating fluids

Automatic transmission fluid

 Only automatic transmission fluid with specification 236.15 may be used. The color of the oil has changed from red to blue.
The blue oil must not be used in older transmissions.

 More detailed information is found in AP27.00-S-2702E.

FG 07 - Mixture formation

FUG 16 - Common rail diesel injection system

Injectors

Only solenoid valve controlled injectors are installed in the models available.

Remove injectors using a special tool (651 589 01 33 00 Extraction claw).

FG 27 - Automatic transmission

FUG 00 - General

Automatic transmission oil and oil filter change

To improve the oil supply for the new automatic transmission the oil pan and the overflow pipe have been re-designed.

Because of this, when changing the oil, the oil pan has to be removed and the overflow pipe has to be replaced using a special tool (722 589 03 15 00 Drift). These steps are necessary to ensure that all the gear oil is drained off. The relevant work instructions (AP27.00-S-2702E) must be observed here.

FUG 60 - Shift mechanism, control system

On vehicles with code FA8 (AGILITY SELECT switch), it should be noted that adaptation of the automatic transmission shift operations is carried out exclusively in drive programs "E" and "C". An adaptation in the "M" or "S" transmission modes would mean that either no adaptation values or incorrect adaption values are stored.

FG 40 - Wheels, wheel alignment check

FUG 00 - General

Wheel Replacement, Lifting, Lowering

The new V-Class is equipped with an electric parking brake (EFB). The combination of the following features is unique in the market:

 EFB,

 Rear wheel drive,

 Automatic transmission or manual transmission,

 Semi-trailing arm design of rear axle.

If, after lifting the vehicle, the rear wheels are to be detached or work is to be carried out on the drivetrain (propeller shaft etc.), then the vehicle must be raised (or lowered, where applicable) without stressing the drivetrain. Therefore, the following information must be noted in workshop operation for all vehicles equipped with EFB:

 For vehicles with manual transmission, the neutral gear must be engaged when lifting the vehicle.

 For vehicles with automatic transmission, the "N" gear position must be engaged when lifting the vehicle. Due to the fact that after switching off the engine and opening the driver door, irrespective of the currently engaged gear range, the "P" range is automatically engaged, it is necessary - when the driver door is open, the brake pedal operated and the key inserted - to manually select the "N" gear range. The key must not then be removed after doing so, because if it is removed then the "P" gear range is automatically engaged.

 With the vehicle lowered and gear range "N" still engaged or the neutral gear engaged, the wheel bolts not yet tightened to the specified value can then be tightened without the need for any further measures.

FG 42 - Brakes - Hydraulic and mechanical components

FUG 20 - Parking brake

Electronic parking brake

To do so, the following information must be observed:

 Assembly Position and Calibration

In the operations listed below, the electronic parking brake must be moved using the diagnostic system into the assembly position. After completing the work the diagnostic system must deactivate the assembly position again and a calibration then has to be made. The ignition key must not be removed whilst performing repair work because the electric parking brake always fully engages automatically when the key is removed. Similarly, the electric parking brake switch must not be pressed as otherwise the assembly position is deactivated.

 Replace electric parking brake (EFB) control unit (A13),

 Replace brake disks on rear axle,

 Replace brake shoes on parking brake,

 Adjust or replace brake cables,

 Remove/install semi-trailing arms on rear axle.

 Bed in the brakes after replacing brake disks of rear axle or brake shoes on parking brake

To do so, the electric parking brake (EFB) control unit (A13) must have been properly calibrated. The bedding in can then be performed in the driving or dynamometer mode. Information test procedures and menu items for the diagnostic system have to be processed for normalization to succeed.

 Safety information

 The information, warnings, rules of conduct and safety precautions must be observed for all work on the EFB.
Otherwise injuries and damage may occur.

 Unhooking the brake cables at the connecting point, or unplugging the actuator, is not permissible.
Damage may occur otherwise.

FG 49 - Exhaust system

The exhaust system contains a near-engine mounted oxicat followed immediately by a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Depending on the pollutant class involved, a main and a rear muffler or two SCR catalytic converters and a rear muffler are installed.

FG 54 - Electrical system, equipment and instruments

FUG 00 - General

A sufficient power supply for the vehicle's on-board electrical system must be provided for all testing and repair work (AR54.10-S-1127E).

S54.10-4625-78

FUG 10 - Battery, power supply, voltage converter

Voltage supply

Power supply on V-Class

The on-board electrical system battery (G1) with battery sensor (B95), backup battery (G1/12) or Emergency-P battery (G1/13) are mounted in the seat base on the passenger side. Directly in front of them is the prefuse box (F1).

The support battery (G1/12) assumes the DC/DC converter's function for the startup phase period (a few milliseconds) and ensures constant (supported) on-board electrical system voltage when the engine is restarted. The backup battery (G1/12) is monitored by the signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM) control unit (N10/1) and charged through a relay.

The Emergency-P battery (G1/13) on vehicles with TRANSMISSION 722.9 and without CODE MJ8 (ECO start/stop function) replaces the backup battery (G1/12), to ensure by means of "shift-by-wire" at any given time that even when the on-board electrical system battery (G1) malfunctions, c change can still be made into the "P" gear range.

The advanced alternator management is available in the V-Class as standard. This contributes to a reduction in fuel consumption as well as CO2 emissions. When the charge level is high enough, the alternator's charging function is switched off and the on-board electrical system is supplied by the battery. The battery is charged in deceleration mode or depending on the battery's charge level, which is permanently monitored.

The fuse assignment diagram is located in the print copy of the vehicle operator's manual.

Power supply on Marco Polo

The standard 12 V 80 Ah auxiliary battery of the Marco Polo is positioned underneath the driver's seat and supplies consumers in the rear passenger compartment.

As soon as the 230 V mains connection is available, the auxiliary battery is supplied with power via the external connection.

The auxiliary battery's charger is located behind the service flap underneath the refrigerator box. As soon as the 230 V mains connection is established, the charger operates fully automatically. The additional battery is also charged via the alternator of the engine. The charge level as well as the charging capacity are shown in the display unit central electronics (N10/17). Additionally, the charger supports the on-board electrical system battery (G1). This is a supporting charge. The on-board electrical system battery (G1) is not fully charged.

FUG 15 - Fuse and relay module
The following three fuse and relay modules are installed in the vehicle:

FUG 21 - Control units/modules
Touchpad
The touchpad control unit (A40/5) is integrated into the central operating unit (COU) control unit (A40). Three touch-sensitive buttons are located behind the touch screen, with which important functions can be operated quickly and directly (Back function, jump into Favorites menu, Audio Quick menu). For orientation purposes the symbols on the control panel are illuminated at night. The touchpad control unit (A40/5) can be used to control functions on the Audio/COMAND control panel (A40/9). Letters, figures and special characters can also be entered in handwriting. Wrong entires are prevented through a special palm-rest identification. To do so, a sensor signal is evaluated and it recognizes whether the hand has only been placed onto the touchpad or whether an actual entry is to be made. Alternatively, the entry can still be made using the usual buttons. The user can choose either method for entry at all times.

S54.21-4624-82

Marco Polo central controller unit
The Marco Polo has received a new redesigned central controller unit as standard with code FF2 (center console with 1 DIN slot). Control is via two additional arrow buttons on the left side and a rotary push button on the right side. The displays are shown on a large display.
The display unit central electronics (N10/17) is used to call up the following information concerning the camper van equipment and to make settings:

 Time and alarm clock

 Outside temperature

 Charge level/voltage of additional battery

 Fill level indicator for fresh water and wastewater containers

 Operation and programming of warm air auxiliary heater

Signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM) control unit (N10/1)

In the V-Class, the signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM) control unit (N10/1) is available in two different variants that have different functional scopes. An additional variant will be available at the market launch of the new Vito.

The customer can select the brightness and color (blue and yellow) of the ambient lighting via the central operating unit (COU) control unit (A40) in vehicles with ambient lighting.

Alternatively, the ambient lighting can also be switched off using the overhead control panel (OCP) control unit (N70). The customer can also configure, without any sort of notification, all ambient lighting settings on the central operating unit (COU) control unit (A40). The customer may become irritated by a lack of visual confirmation if they have forgotten that the button on the overhead control panel (OCP) control unit (N70) has been pressed.

The signal acquisition and actuation module (SAM) control unit (N10/1) controls energy management, the front left lamp unit (E1) or front right lamp unit (E2) (halogen lamps) and relay, among others.

FUG 30 - Instrument cluster/display - Instrument/warning system

Instrument cluster (IC) control unit (A1/1)

The standard instrument cluster (IC) control unit (A1/1) with color display contains two analog dial-type gauges and a multifunction display for showing the on-board computer's information. The left dial-type gauge shows the momentary speed and the fuel supply, the right dial-type gauge shows the speed and the coolant temperature. The following menus are called up via buttons depending on the vehicle equipment:

 Trip computer

 Navigation

 Radio/media

 Telephone

 Assistance

 Service and vehicle preferences

FUG 65 - Parking Assist

Backup camera

The reversing camera (RFK) control unit (B84/5) is integrated into the reversing camera. The reversing camera is an optical parking and maneuvering aid. It is responsible for recording the area surrounding the vehicle at the rear, generating dynamic and static guide lines, and for sending picture signals to the radio display. The picture signals recorded by the reversing camera are accordingly processed and corrected. The current driving path is calculated based on the vehicle dimensions, ground speed and the rotation angle.

The camera cover can be opened for cleaning the camera lens, using the operating menu of the radio (Audio/COMAND) (N87/6); no picture is displayed in this case. The radio (Audio/COMAND) (N87/6) transmits the request "Service mode" to the reversing camera. The path of the signal is the same as that for automatic opening of the camera cover. During a calibration procedure, camera cover remains open for the duration of the calibration even after the camera function has been deactivated.

When replacing the reversing camera calibration is not necessary because calibration takes place automatically during a journey.

360° camera
Calibration is required after replacing a system component.

FUG 20 Interior illumination

Marco Polo lighting concept

The Marco Polo lighting concept has been optimized in terms of consumption and usefulness. Conventional light sources have been replaced by LED technology and so the auxiliary battery is spared when the vehicle is stationary.

In order to improve comfort and usefulness in poor light conditions, reading lights have been installed at several points. Two reading lamps with switch are located to the right and left of the roof stowage box and provide optimum lighting in the lower area when the lying surface is in use. Furthermore, a lamp with two separately controllable reading spotlights is installed in front of the roof stowage box. They allow the two seats to be illuminated independently while the vehicle is in motion.

Central lamps, each approx. 16 cm wide, have been positioned above the kitchen floor cabinet unit and sliding door for optimum illumination of the living area and cooking unit. They are controlled by means of an integrated switch with dimmer function.

The goose neck lamps with new design will be used in the pop-up roof. The LED reading lamps can be switched on/off and dimmed separately using an integrated switch.

Code LC7 (Lighting for front footwell) and two LED lamps on the B-pillar for the rear provide a homely ambiance. Additionally, the front base area of the kitchen module can be optionally upgraded with indirect ambient lighting, code LC0 (Marco Polo cabinet module ambient lighting). The amber ambient lighting can be switched on/off by means of a switch on the function column.

Code HZ1 (Hot-air auxiliary heater with timer and temperature control) of Marco Polo

The Marco Polo is equipped with a hot-air auxiliary heater. This fuel-powered auxiliary heating is independent from the engine and equipped with temperature control and an output of 3 kW. The air is drawn in on the inside of the driver seat frame and fed into the vehicle interior via an outlet on the rear of the seat base.

It is operated via the Marco Polo central electronics display unit (N10/17) and enables auxiliary heating programming. The operating unit is used to switch the auxiliary heater on/off and to preselect the ON time as well as the operating time/mode of the auxiliary heater. The maximum runtime of the auxiliary heating is 65 min in automatic mode; the switch clock automatically calculates when the heating was switched on depending on the interior temperature taken and the selected heating level. In manual mode, either an operational time of between 10 and 120 min or continuous operation can be selected. The interior temperature sensor of the warm air auxiliary heater is positioned on the right B-pillar.

In order to ensure that the vehicle can start and operate, it is not possible to use the hot-air auxiliary heater if fuel is low (< 15 l).
