Newbie Here! Cruise control question ;)

[manstumanda]

Hi All!

I'm a newbie here so please indulge me for a moment I just recently acquired an 1996 MB C220 (2nd hand) and unfortunately the owner misplaced the owner's manual (doubt she even read it in the first place)

I think I've got most things under control except that I can't seem to figure out if my MB has CRUISE CONTROL or not. If it does, where and how do i use it? I was really under the impression that it has cruise control (my father's MB had it and i think there was a stick or something that controls it).

Also, is there any place i can download (for free ) my car's owner's manual? The MB official site only has current versions. Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Mans, and welcome

If your car has cruise control it will have a second stalk slightly above the indicator/wiper switch on the left hand side of the steering wheel.

Sorry can't help you with a downloadable manual though you can buy then on Ebay.

Thanks!

Hi Andy!

Thank you very much for the very prompt reply. Hehe.. apparently, my car model doesn't have cruise control (damn ) I was actually looking forward to it.

In any case, I've seen some downloadable .pdf files of other models (especially S class models) but non of the C220 or C series for that matter.

I actually don't know what exact year model my car is. Where do i look for the year model, if you might know? The stickers on the door sills, etc. don't show it. Thanks again!

Mans,

If you type your vin number (Long number probably starting with WDB.... and fopund on a plate at the front under the bonnet) in here

http://www.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/index.html?lng=eng

It should give you the full details and option fitted to your car.

Vin?

Hi Andy,

Sorry for being such a newbie on this. But, I can't seem to figure out which of the numbers make up the "VIN". I got a picture of the part under the hood front here:

Is it the first upper portion or which is it? Sorry.

Thanks for the help!

The VIN number is also on your registration document.
