#MERCEDES W176 SERVICE MANUAL DRIVER#

The 'active' head restraints (standard for driver and front passenger) reduce neck injury, especially in rear collisions. The force exerted by the seat belt system during a collision adapts dynamically to collision characteristics. Optionally rear side airbags (for side-impacts in the backseats) and side-curtain airbags were available. The front airbags are adaptive with two-stage gas generators operating according to the severity of accident. Standard equipment included front as well as combined head and thorax-protection side airbags.

The W169 is constructed with high-strength steel alloys with bonded joints. Also two AMG versions were produced, a 3.2 in 2001 and a 3.8 in 2000, though very few of these were made. In 1999, a larger 1.9 L petrol model was added, with the 2.1 the last W168 version to be launched in 2002. Engines ДЄll A-Class models are powered by four-cylinder engines, with 1.4 L and 1.6 L petrol models at launch ( M 166 series), followed by two versions of a 1.7 L diesel engine (OM 668 series). It was launched at the Geneva Motor Show. The A-Class was facelifted in 2001, with minor alterations to the headlights, front and rear bumper design and the addition of a new 170В mm (6.7В in) longer wheelbase version. Д«etween 19, 1.1 million first generation A-Class models had been sold. The company spent DM 2.5 billion in developing the car, with a further DM 300 million to fix it. Mercedes initially denied the problem, but then took the surprising step of recalling all units sold to date (2,600) and suspending sales for three months until the problem was solved by adding electronic stability control and modifying the suspension. According to the report, the W168 overturned when manoeuvring to avoid the 'elk'. The W168 became infamous in 1997 after flipping over during the traditional ' elk test' performed by the Swedish automobile publication Teknikens VГ¤rld. The final design freeze occurred in January 1995, at 32 months before August 1997 start of production. Concurrent to the W168, he designed the exterior of the W220 S-Class. Earlier, Mattin had mostly worked on design for the W210 E-Class in 1991. This was the first complete exterior designed by Coventry University trained Steve Mattin, for which he was named Autocar magazine's 'Designer of the Year'. The A-Class was first revealed to the motoring press late in 1996, and finally launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the autumn of 1997, the W168 A-Class was quite unusual for Mercedes-Benz featuring a front-wheel drive layout and unusual tall but yet short body. In 1994, Mercedes-Benz confirmed that it would be launching a compact car - the A-Class (A 160) - by early 1997, which would be the company's first venture in this sector of the market it was hinted at this stage that the new car would be shorter than the average supermini but as spacious and practical inside as a large family car. And although sometimes referred to by fans as the 'Baby Benz', Mercedes themselves actually use that moniker for the 1982 Mercedes 190 (W201), their first compact executive car model. Having grown by 68В cm (27В in) since the original model, the 2012 third generation A-class was longer than the first-generation B-class. In the markets where the A-Class is or has been sold, it has represented the entry level model for Mercedes-Benz. Originally produced only as a five-door hatchback in 1997, the second generation W169 introduced a three-door hatchback. This fourth generation A-Class will also be the first to be offered both as a hatchback (W177) and sedan (V177). The fourth generation model (W177), which was launched in 2018, will mark the first time the A-Class is offered in the United States and Canada. The first generation (W168) was introduced in 1997, the second generation model (W169) appeared in late 2004 and the third generation model (W176) was launched in 2012. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class is a subcompact executive car (regular subcompact in its first two generations) produced by the German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.
