SFBIGBODY415,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on your purchase!. Although there is a version on this forum, you may find the W220 S-Class Encyclopedia on BenzWorld helpful; see http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...tart-here.html - I suggest the BW version because BW lets one edit for a long time after posting, and as a result it is more current and easier to read.

There is a section on where and how to download electronic versions of manuals for your car, if you don't have them. If you do have manuals, you should be reading them before posting questions on matters that are clearly covered in them.
