Description - Vehicle Data Card
Mercedes-Benz cars manufactured before 2010 came with a Vehicle Data (Fahrzeugdaten) Card when they were delivered to their first owners.
Mercedes-Benz cars manufactured after 2010 do not have a Vehicle Data Card and the information on included options is only available via M-B's STAR Diagnostic System.
The Vehicle Data Card is a small card that lists important information such as the options fitted, serial numbers, delivery dates, key codes to cut new keys etc.
Dealer-installed options are not coded on the Vehicle Data Card.
Location - Vehicle Data Card
Usually a copy can be found in your Service Manual (Log Book), Owners Manual or in the Maintenance Booklet (Wartungsheft).
If you do not have your Vehicle Data Card, you may obtain it using your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) through M-B's Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) or alternatively this online database: http://mbfans.info/EN/mercedes/vin

Z04 - B4-REINFORCEMENT ON SPECIAL PROTECTION VERSION
The B4 established itself as the second widely accepted resistance level. It applies to vehicles that resist shots from a .44 Magnum handgun, as well as attacks with batons. Vehicles such as this are aimed at a much larger target group than the highest protection vehicles armored against attacks. They are also intended to protect against criminal acts such as street robbery and car-jacking.
Z07 - B7-REINFORCEMENT ON SPECIAL PROTECTION VERSION
The B6/B7 resistance level applies to vehicles that basically meet the requirements for B6 (7.62x51 caliber rifle bullets), but are more strongly armored in particularly exposed areas, so that, in accordance with B7 standards, they can withstand even armor-piercing hard-core shells of the same caliber.

Complete List of Option Codes - Vehicle Data Card
A fairly complete list of M-B SA or Option Codes was compiled from Vehicle Data Cards posted on the BenzWorld and other Internet Forums. This list contains mostly M-B car codes but also some M-B truck codes. A lot of the descriptions were associated with someone’s particular vehicle. Some of the codes are duplicated where there were several meanings.
Be warned that the Vehicle Data Card Codes may be model specific.
The list can be viewed and downloaded as a pdf from the BenzWorld W220 Forum http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220-s-class/1639927-guide-mercedes-benz-vehicle-data-card.html
