2016 Mercedes-Benz S600L Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz S600L covers a four-door sedan in one Base trim, powered by a 6.0L V12 displacing 365 cu in. For this year the twelve-cylinder is listed with single overhead camshafts and turbocharging, and it runs on gasoline. Forced induction added to twelve cylinders means boost hardware sits on top of an already large ignition and fuel system, and this manual gives the specifications for that combination.

Known issues on the 2016 S600L. NHTSA records three recalls for the 2016 S600L. Two concern the front roof panel ahead of the panoramic sunroof: on certain cars equipped with that sunroof, the panel may have been glued on improperly during an earlier repair, and weakening adhesive could let it separate from the car and become a hazard to other traffic. Dealers fit a new panel using approved bonding materials. The third involves certain vehicles whose emergency call system could carry the wrong date and time and so pass responders an inaccurate position, corrected by an over-the-air or dealer software update. Body panel procedures, wiring diagrams and module diagnostics in this manual relate to both issues.
