New beastie in the stable - '96 s500
greetings and salutations!
i have happily owned a '79 300D for a few years now with the help of this forum. thank you all for that. now the wife is pregnant and needed a safe, reliable car. i finally talked her into getting rid of her '00 Daewoo Leganza when lo and behold another Benz decided to grace our home. Enter the 1996 S500 (120k miles, black, with more bells and whistles than i can shake several sticks at...) and my complete lack of knowledge of said beastie. So, first question: does anyone have a digital copy of the owner's manual or know where i can obtain one (digital or hardcopy) on the wallet friendly side? Second: after reading some of the S500 threads it seems that these luxurious doodads are going to be a PITA to maintain (had the car less than 24 hours and already blew the #30 fuse - a 20 amp for the nifty electric seat adjustments, which seems to have been an ongoing problem, judging by the PO's cache of spares in the center console). any particular problems / telltales to be aware of? and third (although an admittedly lazy question): what does the ASR switch do? (besides lighting up a little yellow triangle with an exclamation point on the speedo)... thanks again for entertaining my questions
