Hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric: which is yours?

Mercedes-Benz has used three kinds of electric drive. Knowing which one your car has helps you pick the right manual and the right procedures.

Hybrid (no charging cable)

The battery is charged by the engine and by braking, so there is nothing to plug in.

We cover the S400 Hybrid (2009 to 2013), E300 and E400 Hybrid (2012 to 2016), and ML450 Hybrid (2009 to 2011).

Plug-in hybrid (the "e" badge)

Charged from an outlet or wallbox, and it also recovers energy when braking.

We cover the GLC 350e and GLC 300e, C350e and C300e, E350e, GLE 500e (sold as the GLE 550e in the US), A220e and A250e, CLA250e and GLA250e.

Fully electric

Battery-electric only, with no engine.

We cover the B-Class Electric Drive (sold as the B250e in the US), 2015 to 2019.

Before working on a hybrid or electric Mercedes

These cars carry high-voltage systems, marked by orange cables. Follow the high-voltage safety and shut-down steps for your model before starting any work, and leave high-voltage repairs to someone trained for them.

How to find your chassis code

Your chassis code is the quickest way to pick the right manual. On a Mercedes-Benz VIN, the 4th to 6th characters give the model series: for example, a VIN beginning WDD205… is a W205 C-Class, which includes the C350e and C300e plug-in hybrids.

The VIN is printed at the base of the windshield on the driver’s side, on the door pillar sticker and on your registration. Not sure? Send us your VIN and we will point you to the right manual.

What you need to run it

Your manual is software-based: it runs inside a virtual machine on a Windows, Linux or Mac desktop or laptop, and step-by-step install instructions are included. It is the same software-based format professional workshops work from.

We recommend a desktop or laptop that supports virtual machines. On a Mac it needs an Intel-based model, because Apple silicon Macs (M1 and later) cannot run it. Working from a phone or tablet? Look for a PDF manual for your model instead.

What each manual covers

Engine

Removal, overhaul and adjustment procedures for your model's engines.

Wiring diagrams

Electrical circuits and connector layouts for diagnosis.

Transmission

Manual and automatic gearbox repair procedures.

Maintenance

Service schedules and routine maintenance procedures.
