EBD is a rather well-known technology, used by many players in the business since at least mid-90s. It is offered even in small sub-compacts powered by 1.2L engines nowadays. To not have EBD means that this particular car company is ready to go out of business.

As for the manual, it also doesn't say that your car's tires contain compressed air - does this mean it is not so?

point noted.

then there should be even less reason to advertise ABS... or dual front airbags.

and it would then be for marketing reasons that MBUSA website is listing EBD on the W163, W220, W215 and W463 as a feature.... or maybe the webmaster just felt like being hardworking that day and typed that extra 5 lines.

MBUSA.COM doesn't mention EBD for the new E Class (W211), either. Really, nothing to sing about these days.
