Enter your VIN here to find what options the car came with. http://old.mbclub.ru/mb/vin/?lng=eng

On mine, you have to pull the cup holder past the indent (catch hook) to get to the first aid kit, requires a small jerk.

US cars to my knowledge didnt come with a fire extingisher. Mine certainly didn't.

The kick down switch on the throtle is activated at full throttle only so is probably working correctly. Will down shift 1, 2 or 3 gears depending upon speed/rpm.

Change your trans fluid. It is NOT "filled for life" as was advertised. Use MB fluid for the 722.6 (your model) or 722.9 trans only. NO OTHER.

Thanks for the advice
I actuallly changed the tranny fluid, filter and cascade with original parts. despite the mechanics reluctance to do so claming that it is not necessery!
