SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

SUBJECT

Model 292, Model Year 2016 - 2017

Update Engine Control Module Software

Daimler AG ('DAG'), the manufacturer of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, has determined that on certain GLE coupe (292 platform) vehicles, an issue within the engine control unit software might potentially cause an engine shut-down just before vehicle stop, e.g. while braking prior to a traffic light or stop sign. If such a situation occurs, the driver might falsely interpret the engine shut-down as a planned shut-down as part of the ECO start/stop function. However, the engine will not restart automatically after releasing the brake pedal, but needs to be restarted manually.

Depending on the traffic situation, an unintentional engine shut-down could increase the risk of a crash. An authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer will update the engine control module software
