Just saw a US spec S-550. Does anyone know why Mercedes-Benz put two "Check Engine" Lights on this car. If you look near the tech you will see a light that says "Check Engine" and to the lower left of that you will see the internationally used "crankshaft" light? Are these lights used to signal two different issues? Cause our 2001 E-320 only has one light.
The S-class cluster can be coded according to market, and therefore by programming it we can activate the appropriate check engine light that is required by the countrys transportation regulations (i.e. check engine or yellow symbol of the engine.)
Thank you. I didn't realize they made the cluster like that. When you really think about it, it seems cheap just to make a cluster with all the lights and depending on where you're located they program the lights. And if that is the case why would a US spec car have the yellow engine light on.
There is an S450 which has a V8 engine. I dont know about the US market but in Europe we have multiple versions of the S-Class, including a 320 CDI (V6 diesel), 400 HYBRID (V6 petrol hybrid), 450 CDI (V8 diesel), 450 and 500 (V8 petrol), 600 (V12 petrol), 63 AMG and 65 AMG (V8 & V12 petrol).
The S65 AMG has 450 kW, which is according to standards 612 hp and it has 1000 nM of torque (limited).
look here guy nobody doesn't care what or which are the bes ofc but S class it's the best car in world you cant say for old S it's better than the newest it's same to say like : Nokia 1100 it's same like Iphone or some Pocket PC :P cya have fun dario you have to change ur mind ! luv ya
fuck off and die philistine, fucking old man. The s classes now are more cutting edge and classier now than they ever were before you cheap nasty fucker.
when I was driveing S CLASS your mom probably had no idea what king of ugly ashoole is goint to have....my point is thatI am old enaughto recognize what S CLASS is the best...peace up

1. There is no "S450"
2. The S65 has 604 horsepower, not 603
You're pretty clueless and asinine considering your occupation..
