Frequently Asked Questions
What chassis code does this manual cover?
This software covers the C218 chassis CLS500 built between 2014 and 2017. It does not apply to the later C257 generation CLS introduced for 2019. All body styles on the C218 platform — including the four-door coupe configuration sold in the US — are included.
Does this cover both the 7G-Tronic and 9G-Tronic gearboxes?
Yes. Full service and rebuild procedures are included for the 7-speed 7G-Tronic Plus and the 9-speed 9G-Tronic automatic transmissions, covering valve body diagnostics, conductor plate R&R, fluid specifications, and TCU fault code guidance.
Are wiring diagrams and COMAND electrical schematics included?
Yes. The software includes complete color-coded wiring diagrams for engine management, COMAND infotainment, climate control, lighting circuits, advanced driver assistance systems, and all body electronics — with connector locations and pin assignments throughout.
What format is the manual?
This is dealer workshop software, not a PDF. It installs on Windows, Mac, or Linux and provides menu-driven navigation, search by engine code or gearbox code, zoom-in illustrations, and integrated electronic parts catalog (EPC) functionality identical to what Mercedes-Benz authorized workshops use.
