===Easy-entry/exit feature=== | |||
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated, the steering wheel tilts upwards and the | |||
driver's seat moves to the rear. | |||
This allows easier entry into and exit from the vehicle when the driver’s door is | |||
opened. However, the engine must be turned off. | |||
When the SmartKey is inserted in the starter switch or you have pressed the | |||
KEYLESS-GO start/stop button once and the driver's door is closed, the steering | |||
wheel and the driver’s seat return to their last set positions. | |||
You can activate the following functions: | |||
* Steering column: Only the steering column is adjusted. | |||
* Steering column and seat: The steering column and the seat are adjusted. | |||
The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched on or off in the convenience submenu of the control system. | |||
To cancel seat/steering wheel movement, do one of the following: | |||
* Press the seat adjustment switch | |||
* Move the steering column stalk | |||
* Press the memory button | |||
===Lumbar support=== | |||
For front seats basic lumbar support is available for vehicles without | |||

The multicontour backrest of the multicontour seat enables individual | |||
adjustment of the seat backrest by filling and venting a total of seven | |||
air cushions. The contour and surface hardness of the seat backrest | |||
can be adjusted independently of each other. For this (combined into | |||
groups) two air cushions each are used for the shoulder region (1) | |||
and the side region (2), as well as three air cushions for the lumbar | |||
region (3). The filling and emptying of the individual air cushion | |||
groups is controlled either manually, by means of the operating | |||
switch (4) in the seat cushion frame of the respective seat, or | |||
automatically by means of the multicontour backrest control module, | |||
if the function of dynamic lumbar support has been performed. | |||
The storage and calling up of seat backrest adjustments (air cushion | |||
pressure values) is possible with the memory feature. | |||

In order to prevent stresses in the back on longer journeys, the | |||
multicontour backrest is equipped with the dynamic lumbar support | |||
function. The function is controlled in the relevant seat by the | |||
multicontour backrest control module. It is triggered by pressing ''"PULSE" button'' on | |||
the dynamic lumbar support adjustment switch (S103s1/S104s1/S108s1/S109s1) | |||
in the left rear/right rear multicontour backrest | |||
switch group (S103, S104) and right front/left front multicontour | |||
backrest switch group (S108, S109). | |||
Lumbar support: curvature of spine in lumbar region. | |||
Starting with the air cushion which is currently active the pulsation | |||
occurs alternately in the two lumbar support cushions in the | |||
sequence lower and upper lumbar (sequence is parameterizable). | |||
Filling starts with the active lumbar support cushion up to the next | |||
pressure level, unless the upper pressure level has already been | |||
reached or exceeded. Each air pressure adjustment is held for | |||
approx. 10 seconds before the next condition is assumed. After | |||
approx. 8 minutes the program is terminated automatically and the | |||
original air cushion pressures are reproduced. | |||
Illustration shows function sequence for dynamic lumbar support: | |||
[[File:W220_function_sequence_for_dynamic_lumbar_support.png|400px]] | |||
First of all the three lumbar support air cushions of the multicontour | |||
backrest are emptied. After this the center air cushion is filled in | |||
stages up to the maximum pressure and then emptied again down to | |||
The | the minimum pressure (see Figure). This process (cycle) is repeated | ||
for a second time. After this the function is terminated by the control module. | |||
The function can be terminated at any time by pressing the switch again. | |||

|} | |||
All the following provisions for adjustment are explained on the | |||
driver's seat and also apply to the front passenger's seat. | |||
The dynamic seat comprises the functions: | |||
* Memory multicontour backrest (MMKL) | |||
* Dynamic side support | |||
'''Memory multicontour backrest (MMKL)''' | |||
The multicontour backrests enable individual adjustment of the | |||
respective seat backrest by filling and emptying up to three air | |||
cushion groups: | |||
* Air cushion for the upper and lower shoulder region | |||
* Air cushion for the respective side region | |||
* Air cushion for the upper and lower lumbar support region | |||
The "Dynamic lateral support" function is switched on or off by | |||
of the | pressing the FDS ''"DYNAMIC"'' button and is controlled by the left front dynamic | ||
seat control module (N32/19). If the function is activated, this is | |||
displayed by an LED in the FDS ''"DYNAMIC"'' button. The left front dynamic seat | |||
control module (N32/19) adjusts after that a corresponding basic | |||
pressure in the lateral support cushions and, when cornering, | |||
ensures better retention in the lateral support by temporarily adding | |||
pressure to the lateral support cushions on the outside of the curve. | |||
This essentially happens as a function of the instantaneous speed | |||
and the lateral acceleration. This information comes from the traction | |||
systems control module (N47) and is transmitted by central gateway | |||
control module (N93) from CAN-C (engine compartment) to CAN-B | |||
(interior). If the data for the FDS function fail for more than 2 | |||
seconds, the function is switched off and remains switched off. | |||
The extent and speed with which the lateral support cushions for the | |||
driver's and front passenger's seat are filled can be adjusted via the | |||
second operating level of the instrument cluster (A1). | |||
'''Priority sequence of the functions''' | |||
The priorities are set in the sequence: | |||
* Priority 1 Lumbar support | |||
* Priority 2 Shoulder region (not for individual rear seats) | |||
* Priority 3 Lateral support | |||
* Priority 4 Dynamic lumbar support and dynamic lateral support (front seats only) | |||
When pressing multiple rocker switches at the same time, only the | |||
* 1 | adjustment movement with the highest priority is executed. | ||
* 2 | |||
* 3 | |||
* 4 | |||
'''Abort criteria''' | |||
All functions are interrupted if there is overvoltage or undervoltage. | |||
The relevant function is not performed if a valve has overheated or | |||
there is a leakage fault. | |||
'''Limit stop emptying''' | |||
If the end point is reached after the lumbar support wave has | |||
passed, the inactive air cushion is emptied for as long as the switch | |||
is pressed, but for a maximum period of 1 minute. | |||
'''Control functions''' | |||
The adjusted specified pressures of the individual cushion areas are | |||
controlled by the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) and | |||
right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22) in each case in a | |||
manner which is unnoticeable for the customer provided that the | |||
function conditions for manual adjustment are met. | |||
The contour and surface hardness of the seat backrest can be | |||
adjusted manually via the: | |||
* Switch group for right front multicontour backrest (S108) | |||
* Switch group for left front multicontour backrest (S109) | |||
* the "dynamic lumbar support" function. | |||
'''Dynamic lateral support (driver's/front passenger's seat)''' | |||
Function requirements: | |||
* | * Circuit 15R ON | ||
* | * Circuit 15 ON | ||
* No undervoltage or overvoltage | |||
* No overtemperature sensor | |||
* No leakage fault in the lateral support region | |||
Sport (stage 1): Extra pressure is applied more quickly and more intensely to the | |||
lateral support cushions on the outside of the curve. | |||
Comfort (stage 2): Extra pressure is applied slowly and less intensely to the lateral | |||
support cushions on the outside of the curve. | |||
Definitively the following control modules are involved in the dynamic seat: | |||
* left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) | |||
* right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22) | |||
* central gateway control module (N93) | |||
* traction systems control module (N47) | |||
'''Background functions''' | |||
In the lumbar support region the cushions are arranged overlapping | |||
and consequently coupled in their function during the wave | |||
sequence. As only one air cushion is active in each case, the | |||
adjacent cushions are considered as not active i.e. empty. The | |||
following background functions are necessary to ensure this. | |||
'''Idle time emptying (optional)''' | |||
While the pressure is kept constant in the active air cushion | |||
(residence time), the adjacent non-active air cushions are emptied. | |||
'''Backgrounds emptying''' | |||
== | If the active air cushion is emptied, then the residual pressure in the | ||
<!-- | adjacent non-active air cushions is also reduced, as soon as the air | ||
cushions have the same pressure. | |||
The subsequent regulation follows, for example, in the event of | |||
pressure deviations caused by: | |||
* The respective person sitting in or leaning on the seat | |||
* Leakage in the seat inflators | |||
* Temperature changes caused by heated seats, insolation, air conditioning and user warmth | |||
Sudden changes in pressure which arise due to the person sitting in | |||
on leaning on the seat are adjusted immediately and in a comfort- | |||
orientated manner. The control parameters that are listed can be | |||
programmed using diagnosis. | |||

If the SRS indicator and warning lamp stays on or comes on intermittently a possible cause is that the passenger seat occupancy sensor (also known as weight sensor or SRS sensor mat) is faulty or failing. | |||

|AB - Airbag | |||
|The coding for component B48 (Front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition) is faulty. | |||
|} | |||
There are four options to fix the SRS indicator and warning lamp staying on: | |||
# Replace the front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48). The sensor costs around EUR 480 and its replacement involves dissecting seat cushion (be warned this is a substantial task). The DAS can be used to test the connection to see if the seat is empty or occupied; it should set off as occupied after 26 lbs" (12Kg). | |||
# Diagnose where the issue is occurring and fix the sensor (see below). | |||
# Disable the passenger seat occupancy sensor in DAS (see section below). | |||
# Replace the sensor with an electronic sensor emulator (see section below). | |||
=== Fixing seat occupancy sensor === | |||
If the Airbag ECU says it can't communicate with the seat occupancy sensor, or open or shorted wiring, then any one of these causes may exist: | |||
* Breakage of electrical cable between the plug connector and the sensor (quite common). If this is the case the wire can be repaired. | |||
* The sensor elements may be dead | |||
* The sensor electronics may be shorted. This can be quickly verified by measuring the voltage between the red and brown wires in the yellow connector, the voltage should be about 12V DC. The sensor mat gets the power from the seat control module located under the passenger seat. If it is around 0.6V, the sensor is short-circuiting the supply voltage to the ground which causes the built-in circuit protection to drop the voltage to 0.6V when the sensor is connected. The electronics are in the white box inside the seat cushion. The white box is filled with some caulk type filler. Nasty job, this box is neither meant to be opened nor repaired. Once opened and the caulk excavated (using knives, screw drivers and a heat gun) to reveal the components, there can be found a 15uF tantalum capacitor which is shorted when voltage is applied to it. It can be replaced with a regular electrolytic capacitor. | |||
===Disabling seat occupancy sensor in DAS=== | |||
To disable passenger seat occupancy sensor in DAS select control unit "AB - Airbag" -> "Development data" -> "Control unit adaptations" -> "Control unit adaptations (Variant coding)" -> "Fahrzeugausstattung kodieren" and change "AKSE/OC Beifahrer" from "ja" to "nein" (see photo below). | |||
[[File:W220_DAS_disable_passenger_occupancy_sensor.png|thumb|none|DAS: Passenger seat occupancy sensor enabled]] | |||
In case "AB - Airbag" control unit has been reset, the "Initial startup" will reset the module to default settings enabling the passenger seat occupancy sensor. If seat occupancy sensor will throw error codes the "Initial startup" will complete only partially showing "Initial startup could only be partially completed. Cause: - There are current fault codes present.". The "Initial startup" can be completed fully by locking the control module using "Development data" -> "Actuations" -> "Complete index of actuations" -> "Steuergerät verriegeln (FN_SG_Verriegeln)". This will lock the ECU and SRS light will go off. | |||
===Installing seat occupancy sensor emulator=== | |||
An electronic emulator may be purchased on eBay for a few dollars and substituted for the SRS Sensor Mat. Search for something like "seat occupancy sensor w220" (~EUR 5). | |||
'''Safety note:''' The emulator simulates that there is always someone sitting in the passenger seat, so in case of an accident, the airbag goes on. | |||
Do not carry babies or children in the front seat, activating the airbag can cause serious damage in the event of a collision. | |||
The emulator is not a simple device but contains several electronic components. | |||

|[[File:W220 SRS Emulator 001.JPG|thumb|none|SRS occupancy sensor emulator]] | |||
|[[File:W220 SRS Emulator 002.JPG|thumb|none|Internal view of the emulator]] | |||
|} | |||
Install of the emulator: | |||
# Put the seat fully forward and then lift up the rear section and place on a suitable support to expose the underneath part of the seat. | |||
# Identify the SRS occupancy sensor connector. It is the yellow connector with red, white and brown wires. | |||
# Unplug the SRS occupancy sensor and make the cable accessible. You may have to cut one or two plastic ties to fully release the cable. Then cut the plug off the cable at the point marked with the red arrow. | |||
# The cut-off plug may now be taken to a workbench and the emulator soldered to the plug leads. Observe the correct colors, i.e., red to red (+12V), white to white (data) and brown to brown (Ground). Make sure to place heat shrink sleeving over the emulator wires before connecting them. | |||
# Shrink the protective sleeving and the emulator is now finished. | |||
# Reconnect the SRS occupancy sensor plug to its socket (left red arrow) and secure with plastic tie to the existing bunch of cables (right red arrow). | |||
# Reassemble the passenger seat. | |||

Front seat adjustment
The seat adjustment switches are located on the front doors.
- (1) Head restraint height
- (2) Seat height
- (3) Seat cushion tilt
- (4) Seat cushion depth
- (5) Seat fore and aft adjustment
- (6) Seat backrest tilt
To adjust the seat switch on ignition or open the respective door.
Seat fore and aft adjustment: Press the switch forward or backward in the direction of arrow (5). Adjust seat to a comfortable seating position that still allows you to reach the accelerator/brake pedal safely. The position should be as far to the rear as possible, consistent with ability to properly operate controls.
Seat cushion tilt: Press the switch up or down in the direction of arrow (3) until your upper legs are lightly supported.
Seat cushion depth: Press the switch forward or backward in the direction of arrow (4) until your legs are supported comfortably.
Seat backrest tilt: Press the switch forward or backward in the direction of arrow (6) until your arms are slightly angled when holding the steering wheel.
Seat height: Press the switch up or down in the direction of arrow (2).
Head restraint height: Press the switch up or down in the direction of arrow (1).
Head restraint tilt: Manually adjust the angle of the head restraint. Push or pull on the lower edge of the head restraint cushion.
Unoccupied front passenger seat automatic adjusting: The feature below is deactivated at the factory. If you wish to have it activated, use DAS. The front passenger seat head restraint automatically lowers after a few seconds when the front passenger seat is not occupied. This improves the driver's outward view as well as the forward view from the rear passenger compartment. When the front passenger seat is occupied again, the front passenger seat head restraint returns to the last set position within a few seconds. If the front passenger seat was moved fore or aft while not being occupied, the front passenger seat head restraint returns to a position that corresponds best with the seat’s axial position when the seat is occupied again.
Easy-entry/exit feature
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated, the steering wheel tilts upwards and the driver's seat moves to the rear. This allows easier entry into and exit from the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened. However, the engine must be turned off. When the SmartKey is inserted in the starter switch or you have pressed the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button once and the driver's door is closed, the steering wheel and the driver’s seat return to their last set positions.
You can activate the following functions:
- Steering column: Only the steering column is adjusted.
- Steering column and seat: The steering column and the seat are adjusted.
The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched on or off in the convenience submenu of the control system.
To cancel seat/steering wheel movement, do one of the following:
- Press the seat adjustment switch
- Move the steering column stalk
- Press the memory button
Lumbar support
For front seats basic lumbar support is available for vehicles without option code 404 - MULTI-CONTOUR SEAT, FRONT LEFT, 405 - MULTI-CONTOUR SEAT, FRONT RIGHT and 433 - LEFT DRIVING DYNAMICS SEAT 434 - RIGHT DRIVING DYNAMICS SEAT.
On rear seats basic lumbar support is available in vehicle with option code 223 - REAR BACK REST ADJUSTMENT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELE.
You can adjust the contour of the seat's lumbar support to best support your spine. The thumbwheel for the driver's and front passenger's seat are located on the inner side of the seat.
Make sure the ignition is switched on. Set the lumbar support between 0 and 5.
Electric seat adjustment (ESA) function
Electric seat adjustment: The driver's and front passenger's seat are electrically adjustable. The adjustment takes place manually via the adjustment switches in the respective door control module. The ergo-function up to 31/05/2001 facilitates the adjustment. The individual seat positions can be stored and called up via the memory feature.
As of 01/06/2001 the ergonomics function is not used anymore for the front seat adjustment.
If the electrically adjustable rear bench seat is fitted (special equipment, model 220 only) the longitudinal position of the left and right halves of the seat bench can be adjusted manually using the adjusting switch in the respective door control module.
If electrically adjustable individual rear seats with memory are fitted (special equipment, model 220 only) likewise the longitudinal position and the backrest angle of the seat can be adjusted manually using the adjusting switches in the door control module. In addition it is possible to call up seat positions stored previously using the memory function
Electrically adjustable individual rear seats with memory: In addition it is possible to adjust the longitudinal position and the backrest angle of the front seat (front passenger's seat) via the door control module in the rear on the front passenger's side.
Entry/exit aid as of 01/09/2002 with code 275a: With the entry/exit aid the seat control module actuates the following control module when the key is removed:
- SAM/F (steering column)
- Overhead control panel (inside rearview mirror)
- Door control module (outside mirror)
The entry/exit aid enables the driver to get into and out of the vehicle more easily. Before the driver gets out the steering column is moved upwards and the seat is moved back. After getting in the position of the seat last adjusted is approached again or the last memory position is approached.
The driving position is stored key-dependent as is the memory position. Because of this if a key is changed a new driving position of seat, steering column and mirrors assigned to the key is adjusted. The entry/exit aid can be configured via the instrument cluster. The function can be switched off completely or partially (only the steering column is still active). On the V220 with individual rear seat system with code 275a the adjustment of a permanently defined position of the front passenger's and rear seat (park position) is possible from the rear door control module.
Adjusting front seats function
Block diagram for front seat adjustment:
Function requirements:
- No overvoltage or undervoltage
- Term.15R or 15 ON
- Respective vehicle door open
Adjusting front seats: The positions of the left and right front seat can be adjusted manually with the respective adjustment switches in the left front door control module (N69/1) and right front door control module (N69/2) in the driver's door and front passenger's door.
The following can be adjusted independently:
- The height of the head restraint
- The angle of the backrest
- The longitudinal position of the complete seat
- The position of the seat cushion
- The height of the rear half of the seat
- The height of the front half of the seat
Ergo function up to 31/05/2001:
The Ergo function up to 31/05/2001 facilitates manual adjustment. For this the seat adjustment must be correctly normalized.
Driver side: With the Ergo default setting, finding the right driver's seat position and the associated adjustments of the left and right outside mirrors, of the inside rearview mirror and steering column is facilitated. Once the default setting is complete only an individual fine adjustment is still necessary.
Passenger side: On the front passenger's side finding the correct front passenger's seat position is facilitated by the Ergo default setting.
As of 01/06/2001 the Ergo function is not used anymore, it is replaced by a further memory button.
Memory function up to 31/05/2001:
Using the memory feature, previously stored driver's and front passenger's seat positions can be approached automatically.
Driver side: On the driver's side two complete seat adjustments can be stored key-related and called up again. A total of eight memory areas are available. With the driver's seat adjustments the adjustments of the left and right outside mirrors, the inside rearview mirror and steering column are also stored.
Passenger side: On the front passenger's side two complete seat adjustments can be stored and called up again.
As of 01/06/2001 extended memory feature:
Driver side: On the driver's side three complete seat adjustments can now be stored and called up again for each transmitter key. Consequently a total of twelve memory areas are available. With the driver's seat adjustments the adjustments of the left and right outside mirrors, the inside rearview mirror and steering column are also stored.
Passenger side: On the front passenger's side three complete seat adjustments can be stored and called up again.
Seat adjusting motors position measurement function
Left and right front seat: The adjustment motors of the front seats - left front seat adjustment motor group with memory (M27)/right front seat adjustment motor group with memory (M28) have one Hall sensor for position measurement.
Electrically adjustable rear bench seat/individual rear seats (special equipment, model 220 only): The adjustment motors for the left rear seat adjustment motor group (M18/1)/right (M18/2) have one Hall sensor each for position measurement.
Position measurement: The signals from these Hall sensors are read in by the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) and rear seats control module (N25/6, model 220 only), checked for plausibility and counted in the internal position counter. The received Hall pulses are evaluated as positive or negative according to the actuation voltage of the motor. A faultless position measurement is only possible in the normalized condition. It is a prerequisite for the ergonomics default setting function.
Seat calibration function
Function requirements:
- Voltage not too high or too low
- Seat adjustment switch is not pressed.
Through normalization in the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) the counter counts of the position recognitions of the adjustment motors are linked to the actual positions.
The normalization is a prerequisite for easy entry (model 215 only) and the Ergo function up to 31/05/2001.
Performing normalization: Separate normalization is required for each adjustment motor. Normalization occurs by approaching the respective mechanical stop. Actuation must be carried out in this position for a further 250 ms at least.
Once normalization has been carried out, the control module must be still supplied with voltage for at least 5 seconds in order to ensure a complete and faultless storage in the non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
The mechanical stop relevant to the respective normalization:
Provision for adjustment | Engine | left |
---|---|---|
Seat lengthwise adjustment | M27m1, M28m1 | front |
Seat height adjustment rear | M27m2, M28m2 | top |
Seat height adjustment front | M27m3, M28m3 | top |
Head restraint adjustment | M27m4, M28m4 | DOWN |
Backrest forward/back | M27m5, M28m5 | front |
Seat cushion adjustment | M27m6, M28m6 | front |
Seat adjustment collision avoidance function
Function prerequisites:
- Normalizing performed
To avoid collisions of the seat with the seat adjustment switch, the center console, the B-pillar or the roof, the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1) and right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) have map controls. In this connection when the motors are actuated the maximum range of adjustment is restricted by means of performance maps stored in the control module and therefore avoid the seat colliding with an obstacle. The following possibilities of a collision can arise during seat adjustment depending on the current seat position:
Collision possibilities | Actuation 1 | Actuation 2 |
---|---|---|
Cushion frame/Seat adjustment switch | Seat cushion angle down | Seat height adjustment down |
Center console/Seat cushion | Seat lengthwise adjustment to the front | Seat cushion adjustment to the front |
B-pillar Backrest | Seat forward/back adjustment to rear | Seat backrest adjustment to the rear |
Roof Head restraint | (Backrest adjustment vertical) | Head restraint upwards |
Blocking detection function
The control modules constantly receive signals from the Hall sensors of the actuated motors. These signals are evaluated for position measurement. If the time intervals in which they enter the control module are too large or are missing completely, blocking is recognized and after t = 2 s actuation is interrupted. Only after the switch is released is a renewed actuation possible in this direction after t = 2 seconds. In comparison an actuation in the opposite direction is possible immediately.
Overload protection function
In order to prevent an overload, the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) and rear seats control module (N25/6, model 220 only) measures the current of connected and actuated adjustment motors. If one of the currents exceeds a threshold value dependent on the supply voltage (I = 6.3 A - 16 A), the actuation is terminated immediately.
Front seat adjustment control module with memory
The left/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1,N32/2) is located under the seat cushion of the left/right front seat.
|
The left/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1,N32/2) connected to the CAN bus has the following tasks :
- Control of the six servo DC motors for the front seat adjustment motor group with memory (M27,M28)
- Position recognition of these motors
- Storage of the seat position by the memory feature as of 1.6.01 expanded by one memory location
- Calling up and approaching seat positions stored previously within the framework of the memory feature
- Approaching the permanently stored seat default settings depending on the longitudinal position of the seat within the framework of the Ergo function up to 31.5.01
- Control of heated seats/seat ventilation (special equipment)
- Control of the seat belt wearing comfort function
- Monitoring of backrest locking by the left/right front seat backrest release microswitch (S91/3,S92/3), (model 215 only)
In addition the control module is used for contacting of:
- Left/right front seat belt buckle restraint systems switch (S68/3,S68/4) with AB and GUS (only USA)
- Left/right front buckle microswitch (S68/9,S68/10)
- Left side control module - passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48) (right hand steering only)
- Right side control module - occupation recognition and automatic child seat recognition in front passenger's seat (B48) (left hand steering vehicle only)
- Left/right front multicontour backrest control module (N32/15,N32/16) (special equipment)
- Vehicle-sensitive seat belt lock sensor (A60), (model 215 only)
- Left /levtfront seat backrest angle microswitch group (S91/1,S92/1), (model 215 only)
The signal for the left/right front seat seat occupation is acquired by the left/right front seat adjustment control module with memory and is transmitted to the automatic air conditioning control and operating module via the interior bus (CAN B).
From this information the automatic air conditioning control and operating module increases, for example, the automatic blower level of the ventilation depending on the number of people in the vehicle.
Furthermore, the blower capacity adjusted in the automatic air conditioning control and operating module is read in by the left/right front seat adjustment control module with memory in order to adapt the seat ventilation by actuating the fans built into the seat
Front seat adjustment motor group
Location of front seat adjustment motor group, shown on model 220:
The six servo DC motors for adjusting the left/right front seat are actuated by the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2). They have one Hall sensor each for position recognition.
Multicontour seat function
Multicontour seats in front are installed in vehicles with option code 404 - MULTI-CONTOUR SEAT, FRONT LEFT and 405 - MULTI-CONTOUR SEAT, FRONT RIGHT.
Vehicles with individual rear seats option code 224 - INDIV.REAR SEAT AND HEAD RESTRAINTS, ELEC.ADJUSTAB have multicontour left/right individual rear seats. However, compared to front multicontour seats, the individual rear seats lack air cushions in the shoulder region.
Operation of front multicontour backrest
The multicontour backrest has inflatable air cushions built into the seat backrest to provide additional lumbar and side support.
The seat backrest cushion height and curvature can be continuously varied with switches on the right side of the seat after turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button twice.

Lumbar region support: Press "down" or "up" on rocker switch (4). This selects the air cushion you wish to adjust. Press "+" or "-" on switch (4). The air cushion inflates or deflates.
Side bolsters adjustment: Adjust the side bolsters so that they provide good lateral support using switch (2).
When the engine is turned off, the last cushion setting is retained in memory, and the cushion is automatically adjusted to this setting when the engine is restarted.
Massage function (PULSE): You can reduce muscle tension during long trips by periodically using the massage function. Press button (3). The indicator lamp on button (3) comes on. The air cushions in the lumbar region inflate and deflate rhythmically. The massage function switches off automatically after approximately eight minutes. The indicator lamp extinguishes.
Multicontour seat function
Illustration shows multicontour seat (MCS):
|
The multicontour backrest of the multicontour seat enables individual adjustment of the seat backrest by filling and venting a total of seven air cushions. The contour and surface hardness of the seat backrest can be adjusted independently of each other. For this (combined into groups) two air cushions each are used for the shoulder region (1) and the side region (2), as well as three air cushions for the lumbar region (3). The filling and emptying of the individual air cushion groups is controlled either manually, by means of the operating switch (4) in the seat cushion frame of the respective seat, or automatically by means of the multicontour backrest control module, if the function of dynamic lumbar support has been performed.
The storage and calling up of seat backrest adjustments (air cushion pressure values) is possible with the memory feature. As of 01/06/2001 the switch group has a different design. The modifications are shown in the multicontour switch section below.
Multicontour seat control module
The left front multicontour backrest control module (N32/15)/the right front multicontour backrest control module (N32/16) is located under the respective seat.
The rear multicontour backrest control module (N32/14) is located under the right half of the rear seat bench.
Apart from the actuation/evaluation electronics, pressure control valves (one for each air cushion) are located in all control modules of the multicontour backrests. The air cushions are filled and emptied via these pressure control valves.
The control module reads in the switch conditions of the switch groups of the multicontour backrests, detects the air pressure in the air cushions via piezoresistive pressure sensors, actuates the pressure control valves and receives/sends data from/ to the respective seat control module.
|
|
The multi-contour backrest control module is responsible for:
- Inflating and deflating the multi-contour backrest according to the control actions read in from the multi-contour backrest switches
- Control of dynamic lumbar feature, actuated with multi-contour backrest switch "PULSE" button
- Sensing of actual pressure values in air cushions with piezoresistive pressure sensors
- Generating status data logs on the cushion inflation and transferring these logs to the associated seat control module via a bidirectional, serial interface.
In context with the memory feature:
- Communication with the corresponding control module via interface, particularly regarding storage and recall of stored seat positions
- Setting stored seat positions (pressure values) and other settings when the memory feature is called
Multicontour seat switches
The switch train for the front right (S108)/front left (S109)/rear right (S103)/rear left (S104) multi-contour backrest is located in the corresponding seat, on the outer side of the seat cushion frame.
|
The switch can be used for manually inflating and deflating lumbar cushion group, side backrest cushions and also, on front seats only, shoulder cushion group. An additional switch serves for activating and deactivating the dynamic lumbar adjustment feature.
The switch positions are voltage-coded by means of resistors. The coded voltages are then read in by the corresponding multi-contour backrest control module.
Front seat switch
The switch train in the left/right front seat is equipped with a rocker switch for controlling shoulder cushion and lumbar cushion pulsation. A further rocker switch is used to control the inflation and deflation of the two seat backrest cushions for lateral support. A "PULSE" button is additionally available for switching the dynamic lumbar support on and off.
|
Rear seat switch
The switch train in the left/right rear individual seat is equipped with a rocker switch for controlling lumbar support cushion pulsation. A further rocker switch is used to control the inflation and deflation of the two seat backrest cushions for lateral support. A "PULSE" button is additionally available for switching the dynamic lumbar support on and off.

Adjust front multicontour seats function
Block diagram for multicontour backrest of front seats:
|
Function requirements:
- Circuit 15c or circuit 15R ON
- respective door open for t >20 s
- Multicontour backrest control module activated:
The left front multicontour backrest control module (N32/15)/right front multicontour backrest control module (N32/16) is activated when it receives an enable signal via a discrete line from the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2).
Manual adjusting of the air cushion groups in the multicontour backrest
The switch conditions of the multicontour backrest switch group in the left front seat (S109)/and right front seat (S108) are read in by the left front multicontour backrest control module (N32/15)/right front backrest control module (N32/16). As a result of this the control module fills and empties the corresponding air cushion groups for as long as the switch is pressed and the function prerequisites are met. At the same time data are exchanged between the relevant control module and the left front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/1)/right front seat adjustment control module with memory (N32/2) via a discrete line so that storage and subsequent calling up of air cushion adjustments performed manually is possible via the memory feature.
Automatic adjustment of the air cushion groups in the multicontour backrest via the memory feature
The storage and calling up of adjustments performed manually is triggered and controlled by the left front door control module (N69/1)/right front door control module (N69/2). To do this, the door control module exchanges information with the relevant seat control module via CAN messages.
If this receives the request to store, the pressure values of the air cushions conveyed from the multicontour backrest control module are stored in its non-volatile memory. If there is a later request from the door control module to call up memory items, the stored air cushion pressure values are provided to the multicontour backrest control module again. Thereupon this control module fills/empties the air cushions as per the stored values.
As of 01/09/2002 codes 344 and 343 the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) and right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22) are responsible for the memory feature.
Manual adjustment of air cushions in the multicontour seat
Function requirements:
- Circuit 15R ON
- Circuit 15 ON
The air cushions of the multicontour backrest can be adjusted manually via the right rear/left rear multicontour backrest switch (S103, S104) and right front/left front multicontour backrest switch group (S108, S109) in the seat cushion frame (on the outside) of the respective seat - right rear/left rear/right front/left front. The adjustments of the air cushions assumed for the shoulder region, the lumbar support region and the seat backrest lateral support are stored in a volatile memory by the left front multicontour backrest control module (N32/15)/ and right front multicontour backrest control module (N32/16) and rear multicontour backrest control module (N32/14)
These values can be stored and called up again via the memory feature in the non-volatile memory of the relevant seat control module.
Manual adjustment of the shoulder region (up to 31/05/2001)

|
Pressing the bottom half of the switch: Air cushions 3, 4, 5 of the lumbar support region are filled from top to bottom up to the maximum pressure and then emptied again down to the minimum pressure. The process stops as soon as air cushion 5 has reached the minimum pressure.
Pressing the top half of the switch: The air cushions are filled in the sequence 5, 4, 3, so from top to bottom and then emptied again (see above).
The transfer pressure p üb and the dwell period tv are adjustable.
Manual adjustment of the lumbar support region (as of 01/06/2001)
When the cross rocker is pressed towards "+" or "-" the backrest contour changes in the lumbar support region by filling/emptying the air cushion which is currently active.
When the cross rocker of the bottom half of the switch is pressed the backrest contour in the lumbar support region is changed sequentially. Only one air cushion is actuated actively in this process. When the cross rocker of the top half of the switch is pressed the sequence is the same as when the bottom half of the switch is pressed, only in the reverse order.
Dynamic lumbar support of multicontour backrest
In order to prevent stresses in the back on longer journeys, the multicontour backrest is equipped with the dynamic lumbar support function. The function is controlled in the relevant seat by the multicontour backrest control module. It is triggered by pressing "PULSE" button on the dynamic lumbar support adjustment switch (S103s1/S104s1/S108s1/S109s1) in the left rear/right rear multicontour backrest switch group (S103, S104) and right front/left front multicontour backrest switch group (S108, S109).
Lumbar support: curvature of spine in lumbar region.
Starting with the air cushion which is currently active the pulsation occurs alternately in the two lumbar support cushions in the sequence lower and upper lumbar (sequence is parameterizable). Filling starts with the active lumbar support cushion up to the next pressure level, unless the upper pressure level has already been reached or exceeded. Each air pressure adjustment is held for approx. 10 seconds before the next condition is assumed. After approx. 8 minutes the program is terminated automatically and the original air cushion pressures are reproduced.
Illustration shows function sequence for dynamic lumbar support:
First of all the three lumbar support air cushions of the multicontour backrest are emptied. After this the center air cushion is filled in stages up to the maximum pressure and then emptied again down to the minimum pressure (see Figure). This process (cycle) is repeated for a second time. After this the function is terminated by the control module. The function can be terminated at any time by pressing the switch again.
Retrofitting multicontour backrest
Multicontour backrest option can be easily retrofitted. The only parts needed are multicontour backrest, multicontour control module and switch from the donor vehicle. For installation instructions on facelift vehicle see the instructions below. Installation may require to modify the fitting on the overpressure reservoir.
Dynamic seat function
Dynamic seat (drive-dynamic seat) function available as of 01/09/2002 on vehicles equipped with option code 433 - LEFT DRIVING DYNAMICS SEAT and 434 - RIGHT DRIVING DYNAMICS SEAT.
The drive-dynamic seat automatically adjusts the lateral support provided by the seat backrest to your driving style.
To activate drive-dynamic function press button (1).
The indicator lamp in the switch comes on and the following message appears in the multifunction display for five seconds:
The drive-dynamic seat electronically controls the air pressure in the air chambers of the seat backrest side bolsters. This function improves driving comfort and pleasure.
You can adjust the characteristics of the drive-dynamic seat using the control system.
Illustration shows Dynamic seat (FDS) as of 01/09/2002 with codes 433 and 434:
|
All the following provisions for adjustment are explained on the driver's seat and also apply to the front passenger's seat.
The dynamic seat comprises the functions:
- Memory multicontour backrest (MMKL)
- Dynamic side support
Memory multicontour backrest (MMKL)
The multicontour backrests enable individual adjustment of the respective seat backrest by filling and emptying up to three air cushion groups:
- Air cushion for the upper and lower shoulder region
- Air cushion for the respective side region
- Air cushion for the upper and lower lumbar support region
The "Dynamic lateral support" function is switched on or off by pressing the FDS "DYNAMIC" button and is controlled by the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19). If the function is activated, this is displayed by an LED in the FDS "DYNAMIC" button. The left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) adjusts after that a corresponding basic pressure in the lateral support cushions and, when cornering, ensures better retention in the lateral support by temporarily adding pressure to the lateral support cushions on the outside of the curve. This essentially happens as a function of the instantaneous speed and the lateral acceleration. This information comes from the traction systems control module (N47) and is transmitted by central gateway control module (N93) from CAN-C (engine compartment) to CAN-B (interior). If the data for the FDS function fail for more than 2 seconds, the function is switched off and remains switched off. The extent and speed with which the lateral support cushions for the driver's and front passenger's seat are filled can be adjusted via the second operating level of the instrument cluster (A1).
Priority sequence of the functions
The priorities are set in the sequence:
- Priority 1 Lumbar support
- Priority 2 Shoulder region (not for individual rear seats)
- Priority 3 Lateral support
- Priority 4 Dynamic lumbar support and dynamic lateral support (front seats only)
When pressing multiple rocker switches at the same time, only the adjustment movement with the highest priority is executed.
Abort criteria
All functions are interrupted if there is overvoltage or undervoltage. The relevant function is not performed if a valve has overheated or there is a leakage fault.
Limit stop emptying
If the end point is reached after the lumbar support wave has passed, the inactive air cushion is emptied for as long as the switch is pressed, but for a maximum period of 1 minute.
Control functions
The adjusted specified pressures of the individual cushion areas are controlled by the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) and right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22) in each case in a manner which is unnoticeable for the customer provided that the function conditions for manual adjustment are met.
The contour and surface hardness of the seat backrest can be adjusted manually via the:
- Switch group for right front multicontour backrest (S108)
- Switch group for left front multicontour backrest (S109)
- the "dynamic lumbar support" function.
Dynamic lateral support (driver's/front passenger's seat)
Function requirements:
- Circuit 15R ON
- Circuit 15 ON
- No undervoltage or overvoltage
- No overtemperature sensor
- No leakage fault in the lateral support region
Sport (stage 1): Extra pressure is applied more quickly and more intensely to the lateral support cushions on the outside of the curve.
Comfort (stage 2): Extra pressure is applied slowly and less intensely to the lateral support cushions on the outside of the curve.
Definitively the following control modules are involved in the dynamic seat:
- left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19)
- right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22)
- central gateway control module (N93)
- traction systems control module (N47)
Background functions
In the lumbar support region the cushions are arranged overlapping and consequently coupled in their function during the wave sequence. As only one air cushion is active in each case, the adjacent cushions are considered as not active i.e. empty. The following background functions are necessary to ensure this.
Idle time emptying (optional)
While the pressure is kept constant in the active air cushion (residence time), the adjacent non-active air cushions are emptied.
Backgrounds emptying
If the active air cushion is emptied, then the residual pressure in the adjacent non-active air cushions is also reduced, as soon as the air cushions have the same pressure.
The subsequent regulation follows, for example, in the event of pressure deviations caused by:
- The respective person sitting in or leaning on the seat
- Leakage in the seat inflators
- Temperature changes caused by heated seats, insolation, air conditioning and user warmth
Sudden changes in pressure which arise due to the person sitting in on leaning on the seat are adjusted immediately and in a comfort- orientated manner. The control parameters that are listed can be programmed using diagnosis.
Dynamic seat control module
The left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19) and right front dynamic seat control module (N32/22) is located in the respective seat backrests on the driver's/front passenger's side.
|
Tasks:
- To fill and empty the multicontour backrest in accordance with the requirements read in by the switch
- Control of dynamic lumbar support, triggered by the multicontour backrest switch with the inscription: "PULSE"
- Control of dynamic lateral support triggered by the "DYNAMIC" switch
- Detection of the actual pressure values of the air cushions by piezoresistive pressure sensors and keeping these pressures constant
- Reading in the voltage-coded MMKL adjusting switch and the DYNAMIC switch
- Communication with the interior CAN via the respective seat control module
- Adjusting the stored pressure values when calling up the memory feature and storing the actual contours
- Cutout of the respective function if the pressure control valve responsible has overheated
Dynamic seat switch
The right/left front DS [FDS] switch group (S108/1,S109/1) in each case is located under the front multicontour backrest switch group on the seat cushion.
The switch turns the dynamic lateral support function on and off.

Manual adjustment of air cushions in the dynamic multicontour seat
All the following provisions for adjustment are explained on the driver's seat and also apply to the front passenger's seat.
Manual adjustment of the shoulder region as of 01/09/2002 with codes 433 and 434
Air cushions 1 and 2 of the shoulder region are coupled and are adjusted with the shoulder region adjustment switch (S109s4).
When the rocker switch is pressed towards "+" or "-" the backrest contour in the shoulder region is changed by filling/emptying the air cushions.
Manual Adjustment of the lumbar support region as of 01/09/2002 with codes 433 and 434
The lumbar support region of the seat is operated by the lumbar support adjustment switch (S109s3). When the cross rocker is pressed towards "+" or "-" the backrest contour changes in the lumbar support region by filling/emptying the air cushion which is currently active.
When the cross rocker of the bottom half of the switch is pressed the backrest contour in the lumbar support region is changed sequentially. First, the lower air cushion is filled/emptied again and then the upper air cushion is filled. Only one air cushion is actuated actively in this process. This sequence starts with the air cushion which has just become active.
When the cross rocker of the top half of the switch is pressed the sequence is the same as when the bottom half of the switch is pressed, only in the reverse order. The upper air cushion is emptied first and then the lower air cushion is filled.
Dynamic lumbar support
All the following provisions for adjustment are explained on the driver's seat and also apply to the front passenger's seat.
In order to prevent stresses in the back on longer journeys, the dynamic seat multicontour backrest is equipped with the dynamic lumbar support function. The function is controlled in the relevant seat by the multicontour backrest control module. It is triggered by pressing "PULSE" button on the dynamic lumbar support adjustment switch (S103s1/S104s1/S108s1/S109s1) in the left rear/right rear multicontour backrest switch group (S103, S104) and right front/left front multicontour backrest switch group (S108, S109).
Lumbar support: curvature of spine in lumbar region.
Starting with the air cushion which is currently active the pulsation occurs alternately in the two lumbar support cushions in the sequence lower and upper lumbar (sequence is parameterizable). Filling starts with the active lumbar support cushion up to the next pressure level, unless the upper pressure level has already been reached or exceeded. Each air pressure adjustment is held for approx. 10 seconds before the next condition is assumed. After approx. 8 minutes the program is terminated automatically and the original air cushion pressures are reproduced.
Illustration shows function sequence of dynamic lumbar support as of 01/09/2002 with codes 433 and 434:
|
The function is controlled by the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19). The program is started and stopped by the dynamic lumbar support adjustment switch (S109s1) "PULSE" button. The active function is displayed by illuminating the LED in the switch. After the switch is pressed, first the air pressures of the air cushion in the lumbar support region are stored by the left front dynamic seat control module (N32/19).

Front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48)
If the SRS indicator and warning lamp stays on or comes on intermittently a possible cause is that the passenger seat occupancy sensor (also known as weight sensor or SRS sensor mat) is faulty or failing.
Error Code | Generated By | Description |
---|---|---|
9028 | AB - Airbag | The coding for component B48 (Front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition) is faulty. |
There are four options to fix the SRS indicator and warning lamp staying on:
- Replace the front passenger seat occupied and child seat recognition sensor (B48). The sensor costs around EUR 480 and its replacement involves dissecting seat cushion (be warned this is a substantial task). The DAS can be used to test the connection to see if the seat is empty or occupied; it should set off as occupied after 26 lbs" (12Kg).
- Diagnose where the issue is occurring and fix the sensor (see below).
- Disable the passenger seat occupancy sensor in DAS (see section below).
- Replace the sensor with an electronic sensor emulator (see section below).
Fixing seat occupancy sensor
If the Airbag ECU says it can't communicate with the seat occupancy sensor, or open or shorted wiring, then any one of these causes may exist:
- Breakage of electrical cable between the plug connector and the sensor (quite common). If this is the case the wire can be repaired.
- The sensor elements may be dead
- The sensor electronics may be shorted. This can be quickly verified by measuring the voltage between the red and brown wires in the yellow connector, the voltage should be about 12V DC. The sensor mat gets the power from the seat control module located under the passenger seat. If it is around 0.6V, the sensor is short-circuiting the supply voltage to the ground which causes the built-in circuit protection to drop the voltage to 0.6V when the sensor is connected. The electronics are in the white box inside the seat cushion. The white box is filled with some caulk type filler. Nasty job, this box is neither meant to be opened nor repaired. Once opened and the caulk excavated (using knives, screw drivers and a heat gun) to reveal the components, there can be found a 15uF tantalum capacitor which is shorted when voltage is applied to it. It can be replaced with a regular electrolytic capacitor.
Disabling seat occupancy sensor in DAS
To disable passenger seat occupancy sensor in DAS select control unit "AB - Airbag" -> "Development data" -> "Control unit adaptations" -> "Control unit adaptations (Variant coding)" -> "Fahrzeugausstattung kodieren" and change "AKSE/OC Beifahrer" from "ja" to "nein" (see photo below).
In case "AB - Airbag" control unit has been reset, the "Initial startup" will reset the module to default settings enabling the passenger seat occupancy sensor. If seat occupancy sensor will throw error codes the "Initial startup" will complete only partially showing "Initial startup could only be partially completed. Cause: - There are current fault codes present.". The "Initial startup" can be completed fully by locking the control module using "Development data" -> "Actuations" -> "Complete index of actuations" -> "Steuergerät verriegeln (FN_SG_Verriegeln)". This will lock the ECU and SRS light will go off.
Installing seat occupancy sensor emulator
An electronic emulator may be purchased on eBay for a few dollars and substituted for the SRS Sensor Mat. Search for something like "seat occupancy sensor w220" (~EUR 5).
Safety note: The emulator simulates that there is always someone sitting in the passenger seat, so in case of an accident, the airbag goes on. Do not carry babies or children in the front seat, activating the airbag can cause serious damage in the event of a collision.
The emulator is not a simple device but contains several electronic components.
Install of the emulator:
- Put the seat fully forward and then lift up the rear section and place on a suitable support to expose the underneath part of the seat.
- Identify the SRS occupancy sensor connector. It is the yellow connector with red, white and brown wires.
- Unplug the SRS occupancy sensor and make the cable accessible. You may have to cut one or two plastic ties to fully release the cable. Then cut the plug off the cable at the point marked with the red arrow.
- The cut-off plug may now be taken to a workbench and the emulator soldered to the plug leads. Observe the correct colors, i.e., red to red (+12V), white to white (data) and brown to brown (Ground). Make sure to place heat shrink sleeving over the emulator wires before connecting them.
- Shrink the protective sleeving and the emulator is now finished.
- Reconnect the SRS occupancy sensor plug to its socket (left red arrow) and secure with plastic tie to the existing bunch of cables (right red arrow).
- Reassemble the passenger seat.
