AMG GT Black Series Owners Manual Missing or not?




I received my AMG GT BS and I believe my manual is missing but my dealer tells me the attached is all the comes with the car and the manual is online. Can someone confirm if they received more than this and maybe post a pic of the manual if they did. I want to know if I’m mistaken or I need to raise hell. Thanks.

None of the GTs and I believe alo other models have manuals anymore. It's all digital now.

I guess you can pull it up in the car but come on, 350K and they cant give you a printed manual?

I’m not in the US but mines came with a large printed manual / booklet. Maybe it’s a US market thing that they do them online now.

When I acquired my 2018 GT coupe it came with an owner's manual, but I also wanted a digital one so that I could refer to it without dragging it out of the car. I went to the MBZ USA to download it. There was none. There was a manual for the roadster. I looked around and found that the Canadian MBZ site had the manual and that it was a USA-Canada manual.

The manual in my current 2020 GT roadster is for the GTR. I wonder what the Germans think about Americans -- that we won't notice?

As another data-point, my Canadian-delivered GTR Pro has the thick/printed (GTR) owner manual (and the on-line PDF is also available).

I have a printed manual, but as stated earlier, I found and use an online one which is easier/faster than going out to the car.

I think lots of manufacturers are giving up on printing, especially as these manuals are becoming the size of phone books....

Same, I have a printed manual, but have only ever used the online manual to lookup what I've needed to.

My 2019 GTC came with a printed Owners Manual. I think by law in North America you (still) need a printed manual.

2021 AMG ST stealth edition
I recently purchased my 2021 AMG GT Stealth Edition (barely used only 1200 miles) and it didn't have a physical owners manual. Dealership was no help in getting one and parts department says they can't order one, very frustrating because even though I can find the manual online (PDF) I still like to have the physical copy. Trying to use the onboard one is a pain in my option, easier to just flip through the book. I only found a manual for 2020 year via the Canadian site https://www.mercedes-benz.ca/en/owners/manuals . Just find it hard to believe you spend that kind of money on a car and they can't get you a physical manual.

My 2019 came with a paper manual. Your dealer just lost it.

I'm sure they did, but they should be able to order a replacement. Even when I give them the part number from the digital version of the manual and they say the system says that part number is not available.

My BS did not have a printed manual upon delivery. After some helpful feedback on this forum (that others had indeed received a manual) I reached out to my salesman. They summarily sent me the owners manual. Good luck!

My car just came from the dealer. No manual. Looked up the part number thanks to post above, and said not available.
Anybody have any ideas? Seems crazy to not have one in the car....

Several of us took delivery of our BS and didn’t receive a manual.

Had the dealer list the missing manual on the dealer PDI inspection report and order me one.

The dealer received it in a couple of weeks and I picked it up.

I would recommend you ask the dealer to escalate the issue.

Hopefully you’ll receive one shortly.

We’ll be seeing them show up on Ebay soon at outrageous prices.

Good Luck

That’s why you want the dealership management to formally escalate the issue. The GM has access to contacts that may be able to help.

There is also a Customer Satisfaction Department. The dealer can provide you with the contact information.

It’s worth a try.

You would think. They said none available in US and Europe, and shows backorder with no anticipated date. Annoying.
As I downloaded a PDF from Mercedes - will see if a local printer can print it in the same size for me.

Have you tried to use the digital one in the car? It has search features. I searched the PDF and I find it to be near worthless.

I honestly do wonder where all of the printed manuals went. Let’s see what EBAY has for sale shortly.
