Well, I finally got a chance to run the CLS 550 in the 1/4 mile. Rick (Boca CLS) was also there. He has a 63. Anyway, I ran the car 4 times, and each time a ran it, the times and MPH were better and better. The first run was traction control on, and the car simply in drive. Lets just say that run was very poor. The car ran 13.70 at 102.40. The next run was traction off, and I shifted the car in C mode. The car ran a 13.50 at 103.50. By now I am getting used to this. Anyway, the next run was sport mode and the traction off, and I launched the car at 1800 RPM. The tires were almost breaking loose, but they didnt and the car went 13.35 at 104.50. The last run was dyno mode, and yes thanks to Rick, I figured it out, the car had tremendous wheel spin even though I power braked it. I really did not care much about the ET. I was more concerned with MPH. Well, it went 13.21, at 105.77. The car has a custom exhaust, with no cats and a resanator. That is all that is done up to now.

Thought you guys would be interested.

 

what is dyno mode and how do put the car in it, also have a CLS550 and I am goind to the drag srip next week, I would like to know that before I go

thanks

 

can you post the slip details? 60', 1/8 et/mph etc? first cls550 results I've seen, nice runs...

 

Thanks for posting your numbers. Once the weather gets better I'm hoping to get my CLS to the track for a few runs.

 

Ok..

On the best (last) run here are the reults:

60' 2.003

330= 5.595

1/8th 8.575 mph= 82.02

1000ft= 11.088

Final Run: 13.21 at 105.77

Hay Guys again.
How to put in Dyno mode Please???

 

here you go

I had the same question but no one answered me, after a search I found it and it works



Here's the total procedure:

1. Turn ignition key to position 1 (SRS light on).

2. Make sure digital temperature gauge shows in instrument cluster. If it doesn't, use the arrow buttons on the left side of wheel to scroll through menu until it does.

3. Turn ignition switch off and back on again to position 1 (SRS light on).

4. Quickly, while the SRS light is on, push the trip odometer reset button at the far left of the instrument gauge cluster 3 times quickly.

5. Your display should now have a voltage reading, like "UB: 12.0V" on the screen.

6. Hit the up arrow button on the left side of the wheel until you get to the display that reads "ESP Dynamometer Test".

7. Now go to the right side of the steering wheel and hit the plus (+) button once to light up the "on" button for ESP Dynamometer Test.

8. Start up the car - you're now in dyno mode. The display will read "ESP unavailable Diagnostic Test". The car will stay in dyno mode, even if you turn off the engine.

9. To turn dyno mode off, turn ignition off, then turn ignition switch to position 1 again and hit the minus (-) button on the right side of the steering wheel once until the display says "ESP Dynamometer Test Circuit 15 off." Turn off the ignition - you're back to normal and out of dyno mode.
