predecessor model, thus further minimizing exhaust emissi-
ons while improving power and efficiency at the same time.
The distinctive innovations in the design of the new M177 en-
gine from AMG include: the two turbochargers arranged in a
"V", a separate low-temperature circuit for charge air cooling
and the spray-guided gasoline direct injection system with
piezo injectors.

The AMG 4.0-liter V8 Biturbo engine impresses with its trac-

tive power and provides driving performance at the level of a
sports car: the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 sedan with 350 kW
and 650 Nm accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds,
while the S model sedan with 375 kW and 700 Nm achieves
the same in 4.0 seconds.

The AMG Ride Control sports suspension with 3-stage adjust-

ment, the AMG high-performance composite brake system
and the extensive standard equipment complement the en-
gine accordingly.

The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 has the typical features of a

high-performance vehicle all around: the front end is domina-
ted by the front skirt with large cooling air inlets in an A-wing
design. The rear end is characterized by the rear apron with
three diffusor fins. The vehicle also features an AMG-specific
analog clock in IWC design and, as special equipment, AMG
Performance seats for better lateral support.

 Maintenance strategy/Assyst
Maintenance

New technical features Engine

Like BR 204, the Mercedes-AMG C 63 of BR 205 is also
maintained in accordance with the new maintenance logic.
The maintenance packages, especially Service A and Service
B, have redefined according to time and wear-related criteria.
This has made it possible to significantly reduce annual fluc-
tuations in maintenance costs.
The previous interval from the Mercedes-Benz maintenance
strategy for the predecessor model of "every 250,000 km
(155,000 mi)/15 years" for the additional maintenance
operations of "Replace fuel filter" and "Replace coolant" has
been replaced with the new interval of "every 200,000 km
(124,000 mi)/10 years".

Nevertheless, the fixed AMG maintenance interval of "every
20,000 km (12,500 mi) / 12 months" as well as any kilome-
ter intervals which vary on a country-specific basis have been
retained. Furthermore, Service A and B continue to alternate
and there is also a "PLUS Package" that the customer can
choose at any time.
Use of AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sport
transmission
For the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sport transmission
in combination with the AMG 4.0-liter V8 engine M177, the
oil and filter change interval is "for the first time at 50,000 km
(31,000 mi) /3 years".

With the introduction of the new maintenance logic, the in- The other maintenance intervals remain unchanged.
tervals for the additional maintenance operation of "Replace
spark plugs" have been changed from "every 75,000 km
(46,500 mi) / 4 years" to "every 75,000 km (46,500 mi)/3
years".

The intervals for the additional maintenance operation of

"Replace air filter element" remain at "every 50,000 km
(31,000 mi) / 3 years".

In addition, the oil change for the rear axle on vehicles with
the AMG V8 gasoline engine M177 is carried out at 3000 km
for the first time and then at an interval of "every 50,000 km
(31,000 mi) / 3 years".

Predictable costs and reliable planning: Mercedes-Benz
passenger car service contracts
Which service contract suits me best? The vehicle-specific
service contracts enable the car customer to choose indivi-
dual protection while also allowing him/her to select the best
of the different product variants which are available.
The purchasable warranty extension as an entry-level pro-
duct is geared towards security-oriented, price-conscious
customers. These customers are protected against unexpec-
ted repair costs in the long-term even after the manufacturer
warranty expires.
As a premium product, the Full Service Contract combines
the aforementioned maintenance and repair work with all we-

Chain drive
The new M177 AMG V-engine features a completely new
two-stage chain drive with three toothed belts. The develop-
ment aim was to achieve the best possible compromise
between assembly requirements, friction power, chain force
minimization and NVH requirements. The noise levels have
thus been reduced significantly. In addition, the good service
life characteristics and chain friction properties have also
been further optimized.
The chain drive is a two-stage system with primary and se-
condary drives.
Each of the three toothed chains is tensioned by a hydraulic
chain tensioner. Low tensioning forces and chain dynamics
ensure stable engine timing and outstanding acoustic pro-
perties while reducing friction power compared with the pre-
decessor engines.
The engine oil pump is additionally driven by the crankshaft
via a bush chain.

Chain drive and camshaft adjustment
Powerplant
Camshaft adjustment
The camshaft adjustment system enables the intake cams-
haft to be "advanced" by up to 40 °CKA (crankshaft angle)
and the exhaust camshaft to be "retarded" by up to 40 °CKA,
allowing the valve overlap during the gas exchange to be
varied within broad limits. This optimizes the engine torque
curve, reduces fuel consumption and improves exhaust
characteristics. The intake camshaft solenoids and exhaust
camshaft solenoids are actuated by the ME-SFI [ME] control
unit with pulse width modulated signals (PWM signals) at 150
Hz for the purpose of camshaft adjustment.
The system is actuated according to a characteristics map
in the partial and wide open throttle ranges, and allows the
camshafts to be continuously adjusted depending on the duty
cycle of the PWM signals. The position of the intake cams-
hafts is recorded by the intake camshaft Hall sensors and the
position of the exhaust camshafts is recorded by the exhaust
camshaft Hall sensors and forwarded to the ME-SFI [ME]
control unit as a voltage signal.

 Engine lubrication

Controlled engine oil pump
The engine oil pressure is regulated via the valve at the en-
gine oil pump. The ME-SFI control unit actuates the engine oil
pump valve. This enables the oil pressure to be switched bet-
ween the two pressure settings of 2 and 4 bar according to
demand, optimally adjusting the supply of engine oil in the oil
circuit of the engine to suit the current requirements. It also
reduces the operating energy input of the engine oil pump
and hence the power losses of the engine. Oil level checking
is performed by means of an oil sensor in the oil pan.
Powerplant
The engine oil pressure reported via the control duct is mo-
dulated at the pilot control valve and acts accordingly at the
set collar against the force of the opposite control spring.
The position of the set collar produces a corresponding ec-
centricity relative to the axis of the rotor, and the delivery
volume rises as the eccentricity increases.

 Injection system
Powerplant

High-pressure system High-pressure pumps

The high pressure is produced by high-pressure fuel pumps
(single piston pumps) with a quantity control valve integrated
in the pump module.
The fuel is directed via a high-pressure rail to the centrally
arranged fuel injectors leading into the combustion chamber.
The fuel injectors with piezo actuators are capable of deliver-
ing up to five highly accurate injections per cycle.
The high-pressure pumps are located on the top of the cylin-
der heads. The maximum delivery pressure of the high-pres-
sure pumps is 200 bar. The high-pressure pumps are driven
mechanically by the exhaust camshaft via a driver. The deli-
very rate of the high-pressure pumps is rpm-dependent. As
the pump unit moves upwards, the fuel volume in the pump
cylinder is compressed. When the system pressure is rea-
ched, the exhaust valves of the high-pressure pumps open
and the fuel is pumped through the high-pressure lines to
the rails. Pressure limiting valves protect the high-pressure
pumps from excessive pressure buildup.

bbNote
The stainless steel high-pressure fuel lines can be
reused after inspection. See the repair instructions for
more information.

 Air supply

On engine M177 AMG, the intake air is ducted directly from
the vehicle front to the air filters via the respective air ducts.
The air filters are arranged to be connected directly to the
turbochargers. The boost pressure hoses direct the compres-
sed charge air to the charge air coolers.
Powerplant
To minimize the distance covered by the charge air, the two
throttle valves act as the connection between the charge air
coolers and charge air distributors.
The charge air distributors are screwed on directly to the in-
take ports of the respective cylinder heads.

 Charging
Powerplant

Charging in general Hot inside V

The volumetric efficiency of the cylinders is improved by
charging. This in turn increases the engine torque and output.
The fuel quantity appropriate for the increased air mass is
metered by the ME-SFI control unit.
During charging, the flow energy of the exhaust gases is used
to drive the turbochargers. The turbochargers draw in fresh
air via the air filters at the compressor intakes and direct it
via the compressor outlets into the charge air pipes and on to
the charge air coolers.
To improve the response characteristics of the Merce-
des-AMG C 63 even further, AMG has redesigned the cylin-
der heads of the V8 Biturbo: The intake side is now on the
outside and the exhaust side is on the inside. The engineers
have called this engine concept, which makes the V8 Biturbo
even more compact, the "hot inside V". The manifold and
turbochargers are specially insulated to protect the engine
components.

The high rotational speed of the compressor impellers and

the resultant high volumetric flow rates compress the air in
the charge air pipes. The compressed charge air flows via the
charge air pipes to the charge air coolers. These then cool
the charge air, which is warmed up due to the compression
process, and direct it via the charge air manifolds into the
cylinders.

 Charge air cooling

Function sequence for charge air cooling
The charge air cooling system keeps the charge air tempera-
ture at < 60 °C when the ambient temperature is 20 °C. The
cooled air downstream of the charge air coolers has a higher
density. This increases the volumetric efficiency of the cylin-
ders and thus the engine power.
In addition, the tendency to knock is decreased and the lo-
wer exhaust temperatures reduce the formation of nitrogen
oxides (NOx). The two cylinder banks each have a separate
water/charge air cooler. The water/charge air coolers are
connected to the low-temperature circuit with the low-tempe-
rature coolers and low-temperature circuit circulation pumps
1 and 2.
Powerplant
When the charge air temperature is above 35°C, the ME-
SFI control unit actuates low-temperature circuit circulation
pumps 1 and 2 via the drivetrain CAN, drivetrain control unit
and drivetrain LIN.
Low-temperature circuit circulation pumps 1 and 2 are shut
off again when the charge air temperature drops below
25 °C.
The charge air temperature is registered in the charge air dis-
tributor by the left and right charge air temperature sensors
and this information is sent to the ME-SFI control unit as a
voltage signal.

Coolant stationary
At a coolant temperature of < 80 °C and an engine speed of
< 3000 rpm, the two slide valves of the two-valve thermostat
are both fully closed. The shortening of the engine warm-up
period due to the stationary coolant directly produces fuel
savings and thus reduces CO2 emissions.

Low-pressure fuel circuit
The fuel pump is switched on when a "fuel pump ON" signal
is received by the fuel system control unit. This signal is
transmitted redundantly by the ME-SFI control unit as a CAN
signal over the drivetrain CAN and as a ground signal.
In addition, the fuel system control unit receives the CAN
signal "Specified fuel pressure" from the ME-SFI control unit.
The fuel system control unit records the current fuel pressure
via a voltage signal from the fuel pressure sensor and trans-
mits this information via the drive train CAN to the ME-SFI
control unit.
The fuel system control unit evaluates the current fuel pres-
sure, compares it with the specified fuel pressure and actua-
tes the fuel pump with a pulse width modulated signal (PWM
signal) as required such that the actual pressure corresponds
to the specified pressure.
bbNote
The overflow valve in the fuel filter opens at a fuel
pressure of approx. 7 to 9 bar.

Fuel system
Powerplant
In order to determine the specified fuel pressure (fuel requi-
rement), the ME-SFI control unit evaluates the fuel pressure
and load requirement. The fuel delivery volume is regulated
variably from 0 to 130 l/h at a fuel pressure of about 4 to 6.7
bar according to the fuel requirements.
When actuated, the fuel pump draws in the fuel from the
fuel feed module and pumps it through the fuel filter to the
high-pressure fuel pumps (single-line system, without return
line).
bbNote
There is a check valve in the feed point of the fuel fil-
ter which prevents reduction of the pressure (to below
approx. 4.5 bar) when the fuel pump is switched off.

 Tank purging
Powerplant
Purging in general
Fuel vapors must not be allowed to escape into the atmo-
sphere when the fuel tank is vented. The fuel vapors are sto-
red in the activated charcoal canister and later fed back into
the combustion process.
Function sequence of partial load purging
During partial load operation, the fuel vapors stored in acti-
vated charcoal canister are extracted by means of the prevai-
ling vacuum through the purge switchover valves, partial load
check valves and partial load purge lines behind the throttle
valves and then combusted in the engine.
46
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09/2014 –
Function sequence of wide-open throttle purging
During wide-open throttle operation, the fuel vapors are ext-
racted via the wide-open throttle check valves and wide-open
throttle purge lines. The vacuum required for this is produced
by a Venturi nozzle. The fuel vapors are then directed through
the wide-open throttle purge lines, turbochargers and charge
air coolers to the charge air manifolds.
In order to check whether the wide-open throttle purging
function can be enabled, the left and right purge switchover
valves are abruptly opened three times. Pressure spikes
of > 120 mbar must occur in the process. The purge pres-
sure sensor registers the pressures prevailing in the wi-
de-open throttle purge line and sends a signal to the ME-SFI
control unit.

 AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension
Chassis

The AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with adaptive
adjustment damping in 3 stages (code 488) is a combination
of a steel suspension system with continuous damper adjust-
ment in which the damping is adapted on a wheel-by-wheel
basis depending on the road surface condition and driving
style. The last damping stage used is always activated after
the ignition is switched on.
The driving state is defined through the following variables:
• Vehicle level and damper speed
• Vehicle body acceleration (chassis movement)
• Vehicle longitudinal and lateral acceleration
• Steering angle
• Kickdown request
Adjustment of the damping forces is map-controlled and
carried out in real-time and continuously on a wheel-by-wheel
basis by means of a proportional valve in the damping valve
unit. The damping valve units are located on the respective
shock absorbers.
The suspension characteristics can be selected using the DY-
NAMIC SELECT switch and via the separate Comfort/Sport/
Sport+ damping button. The suspension tuning is divided into
the following suspension programs:
• Comfort
• Sport
• Sport +

The vehicle level, damper speed and vehicle body accelera-

tion are recorded by the following sensors: 4 level sensors
on the body (2 at the front, 2 at the rear) and 3 acceleration
sensors on the body (2 at the front, 1 at the rear).

speed. It ensures increased responsiveness and more pre-
cise handling.

An electrically controlled plate-type differential lock is used

to reduce rpm differences and wheel slip. This allows the lo-
cking effect to always be adapted to the driving situation.

 AMG dynamic engine mounts
Chassis
Active engine mounts dampen the movement of the major as-
sembly and thus stiffen its connection to the body. This has a
direct effect on the steering: it feels more precise as a result.
The new Mercedes-AMG C 63 S uses the chassis gateway
control unit for this purpose. It calculates the specified status
of the mounts using various vehicle signals. This specified
status is transmitted to the active engine mount control unit
via the AMG CAN. The active engine mount control unit con-
verts the stiffness request into a current for the coils in the
mounts.
Active engine mounts and control unit
58
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09/2014 –
The active engine mounts contain a metalized fluid whose
viscosity can be changed when required by a coil. This allows
the stiffness of the mounts to be influenced.
In addition, the active engine mount control unit reads in and
communicates the pressure on the mounts using a pressure
sensor.
This system allows the settings of the major assembly
mounts to be spread out to provide even greater comfort wi-
thout impairing vehicle dynamics.

Brake system
Chassis
Function and technology
The ceramic brake disks have a composite construction and
are connected axially in a floating design to an aluminum
hub. Manufacturing the disks from ceramics reinforced with
carbon fiber is a very complicated process:
Before baking, the fiber matrix composite first has to be put
into a mold by hand and siliconized. The technically complex
post-processing stage is carried out using diamond-coated
tools, among other equipment. The disks are manufactured
under a vacuum at 1700°C. This special material and produc-
tion technology makes the components particularly hard. The
resulting insensitivity to extreme loads and heat extends the
service life compared to cast iron disks several times over.
Due to the greater friction level, less force must be applied
at the pedal. This allows more sensitive and more accurately
controlled braking.

Chassis
The ESP® can be operated in three different operating

sages on the instrument cluster.
The following operating modes are available:
• ESP® ON

– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 09/2014 –
ESP-ON mode
The ABS, ASR and ESP® operate as on the series production
vehicles but with adjusted control thresholds.
ESP-Sport mode
The ABS operates as on the series production vehicles with
adjusted control thresholds. When engine torque control is
active, ASR operates with a significantly reduced intensity
and its one-sided brake interventions to improve traction are
adapted accordingly. The ESP® operates with reduced inten-
sity and adjusted control thresholds.
ESP-OFF mode
The ABS is configured for maximum deceleration. Ride
comfort in this case is of secondary importance. The ASR
operates without engine torque control. Only the one-sided
brake interventions to assist traction are active. The ESP®
is completely deactivated, no engine torque or brake system
interventions are made. Note: All PRE-SAFE® functions are
deactivated with ESP® OFF.

Oil supply with combustion engine OFF (stop/start
function)
When the combustion engine is shut off in ECO start/stop
mode, the oil supply by the primary pump is interrupted. The
electric transmission oil pump (auxiliary pump) takes over the
oil supply to the shift elements in position. During the subse-
quent start, initiated e.g. by releasing the service brake, the
oil pressure built up by the auxiliary pump ensures that the
vehicle is ready to start off spontaneously.

 AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sport transmission

Convenient fuel savings – Sailing
In transmission mode "C" (Comfort), the transmission aims
to keep the engine speed as low as possible and engage the
most economical gear in all driving situations. When starting
off in "C", the transmission always uses second gear and
shifts to higher gears as early as possible if the driving style
allows.
Transmission
The "Sailing" function is now also available for the first time
on an AMG vehicle in transmission mode "C". This causes
the engine to be decoupled from the drivetrain, e.g. on ex-
tended downhill stretches, so that the vehicle then coasts
with the engine at idle speed. This effectively reduces fuel
consumption.

For example, sixth gear is often engaged during urban driving

– this not only lowers consumption, but also noise develop-
ment. However, Comfort also means smooth gear changes
and a "soft" accelerator pedal characteristic to ensure gentle
driving characteristics.

system must be present. For
further details, please see the
Mercedes-Benz system
catalog. This is available
directly from CAR-O-LINER.

For post-accident alignment checks and particularly for damage diagnosis on aluminum structural parts of the body, only
use one of the approved body diagnostic systems or body straightening systems (see GOTIS). Measurement using a beam
trammel is not permissible on aluminum bodies because of the tight tolerances.
