CONVERSION MEASURES RESULTING IN ALTERATION TO VEHICLE MODEL - AH00.10-P-1000-01A 

Model 100, 107, 108, 109, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 123, 124, 126, 129, 140, 163, 168, 170, 201, 202, 208, 
210  

We disapprove of all vehicle conversions resulting in an alteration to the model. A standard production vehicle 
is a design entity which, upon installation of parts alien to the model, usually changes in a detrimental way. 
Changes to important components influence the homogeneity of the vehicle in its entirety. For this reason we 
have not investigated the details to be observed when performing such conversions. Such conversions can also 
lead to changes on the vehicle which require new proof that the vehicle complies with legal requirements. 

The main reasons for our disapproval are:  

1. Subsequent installation of a component such as a more powerful engine may overload the remaining 

components such as the transmission, brakes, axles, etc.

2. Changes to the standard condition may decisively influence the new vehicle warranty, since our warranty 

obligation does not cover damage resulting from a change to the original Daimler Benz delivery 
condition.  

3. Proper supply of parts is no longer ensured when major components are replaced.  

4. The exchange procedure is based on the "Identical unit exchange" principle. For example, an identical 

model reconditioned unit will be supplied in return for a damaged engine. Only then is it possible to be 
credited for the returned damaged engine.  

Customer inquiries and requests of this type should be answered along these lines in order to ensure that the 
quality standard of our vehicles is not impaired. 

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE CORRECTION - AH00.10-P-2010-01A 

Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120, 137, 166, 601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606  

General  

The weather station's barometer must be calibrated to the air pressure specified by the local meteorological 
office. 

The measured performance value must be corrected with correction factors. 

There are two 2 correction factors:  



Altitude correction factor  



Performance correction factor  

Performance correction formula N

eo

 = N

e

 x K

H

 

 

N

eo

 = Performance in reference to normal operating conditions in kW.

 

N

e

 = Performance measured on the output dynamometer in kW.

 

K

H

 = Correction for intake air temperature, barometer level and altitude of the relevant test location.

 

Calculation example  

1. Read air pressure, altitude and intake air temperature of the test location off at the weather station. 

NOTE:

In addition, vehicles registered in the Federal Republic of Germany are subject 
to the law which revokes the operating permit as a result of conversions which 
change the model. We cannot issue a Certificate of non-objection for individual 
approval by the technical motor vehicle testing authority in each case.

In the example: 

Air pressure of the test location =955 hPa (mbar) 

Altitude of the test location = 400 m 

Intake air temperature of the test location =+20°C 

2. Determine the performance on the output dynamometer =100 kW  

3. In the altitude correction Table, the altitude value of the test location = 400 m, results in a height 

correction factor of 46 hPa (mbar).  

4. The air pressure of the test location minus the height correction factor results in an air pressure value (p) 

of: 

955 hPa (mbar) - 46 hPa (mbar) = 909 hPa (mbar) 

In order to be able to insert the air pressure (p) into the Table, it must be rounded. In the example, to 910 
hPa. 

5. On the basis of the air pressure (p) = 910 hPa, we read a correction factor (KH) of 1.0787 off from the 

performance correction Table with an intake air temperature (t) of 20°C.  

6. The performance data in relation to normal operating conditions results in the following: 

N

eo

 = N

e

 x K

H

 

 

N

eo

 = 100 kW x 1.0787 = 108 kW

 

Output on the dynamometer: Ne = 100 kW 

Air pressure value of the test location: P= 955 hPa (955 mbar) 

Air-charge temperature of the test location: t =+20°C 

Altitude of the test location: 400 m above sea level 

Units: hPa = Hecto Pascal 

1 hPa = 1 mbar 

1 Pa = 0.01 mbar
