User error maybe. Codes are 3917 and 3318… Oct 2017, Aug 2018…. Something like that.August 4th, 2021 at 11:42am ESTBLowe1 (1) 0@bbest129 thank you... I'll listen to the video again... I appreciate your response. August 4th, 2021 at 10:58am ESTbbest129 (6) Seller 1@Spider-Viloce, remote shopping is challenging. So I’m happy to share what I know. I have 2 dates on 2 tires… the others look to be same wear - but codes not apparent. Comparing to VMI mileage checks, that ends up suggesting good life remaining.August 4th, 2021 at 10:24am ESTSpider_Veloce (27) 0@bbest129 Appreciate all of the information and responses that you have provided. It really helps when bidding long distance without being able to view the car. Can you also share the tire date codes which you referenced in one of your earlier responses? Many thanksAugust 4th, 2021 at 9:56am ESTbbest129 (6) Seller 2@BLowe1, The squeaking in the video is the steering wheel itself. It's plastic on plastic right beneath the wheel... My take was it may be caused by under use. I had failed to ask my tech about that at baselining. But yes, I am familiar with that and assuming some adjustment resolves that. Telescoping, for example, does not resolve that because the it's the wheel itself at the post causing the noise. August 3rd, 2021 at 8:55pm ESTBLowe1 (1) 0Good evening... in the video you posted I hear a lot of intermittent squeaking... is that coming from the car? The seat? Please let me know... thank you.

Assuming that theMBMarket allows me to share it, here is the web address for an electronic copy of the 2009 Mercedes S Class Sales brochure: https://ragtop.org/mbbrochures/2009/2009-S-Class.pdf Note that this website seems to have an archive for 2001 through 2014 Mercedes sales brochures. August 3rd, 2021 at 4:18pm ESTGasman (0) 0Thanks for the info. I have an 09 SL 550 with ABC and I certainly wish I had a rear view camera and distronic CC. I did understand that ABC was offered as an option on the S550 in 09.August 3rd, 2021 at 4:03pm EST$9,500 bid placed by @DavidSandersAugust 3rd, 2021 at 3:51pm ESTbbest129 (6) Seller 0@Spider_veloce, thank you Sir. I remember the Distronic well from my 2004. 'Graphics' were remarkably crude outline of a car and would indeed break off the CC when the perimeter was breached. You made a previous inquiry about brakes... VMI mentions brake activity around 39k miles... and my baselining technician just said "brakes and tires are good for now'... triangulating on tire manufacture date, the tires can't have more than 5-7k miles on them.August 3rd, 2021 at 3:25pm ESTSpider_Veloce (27) 0@bbest129 In case it helps, ABC means Active Body Control and this was standard on the S600. However, it was not available for the S550 4Matic. Also, Adaptive Cruise Control refers to what Mercedes called Distronic Cruise Control. This was also standard for the S600 and it was available as on option on the S550. Believe it or not, it used a mini radar system in the grille of the car to detect the distance to other cars in front of the Mercedes and to apply brakes if necessary to maintain a chosen following distance. August 3rd, 2021 at 3:03pm ESTbbest129 (6) Seller 0@gasman, I know you're out there... I got some questions in email that I expected to see in the thread below - and don't see them. This is Airmatic, yes. My understanding that means not ABC, but I'm not the expert. Adaptive CC,? I believe no... I haven't identified that feature when using CC. To the list of standard features on the car, the sales card detail says: P02 Premium Package, which includes rear camera, Parktronic, Keyless-go... and separate options of the ipod integration kit and bluetooth interface.

I crawled under the wheel wells and snapped whatever pic I got - if some happen to be of nothing in particular. And obviously I didn't clean anything before I took the photo - so the buying public could see the real thing. At least one of the new air shocks is featured I think.August 2nd, 2021 at 8:33pm ESTSpider_Veloce (27) 0@bbest129 Wow, that is one immaculate underside. You must have really clean streets down there in Atlanta.August 2nd, 2021 at 7:14pm ESTthembmarket (691) 1Underbody photos have been a
