Does the manual cover both the pre-facelift and facelift W204 variants?
Yes. The W204 C-Class received a mid-cycle refresh for the 2012 model year. This software covers all production years from 2008 through 2014, with model-year-specific specifications so you’re always working with the correct data for your vehicle’s build date.
