Preamble

These instructions in French come from repair Manual Mercedes for the roadster R172 type. They could concern other engines as well.
I could possibly complete the list if needed.
Note :
- Some people ask for information but, once they get it, they no longer give feedback. So I won't answer.
- Other people upload the pdf files into their website or facebook group and divert traffic rather than linking to this page. If this persists I will remove this page.

Cleaning main monitors

Ensure your Mercedes has at least 1/4 to 3/4 tank of gas.
An empty or full gas tank will not allow the EVAP monitor to run.
Also begin the drive cycle from a cold start; best achieved by leaving your vehicle sitting overnight.
The drive cycle will not run if the check engine light is on or illuminated.

1. Air Injection Monitor

- From a cold start, start engine and while the vehicle is in Park, accelerate engine speed to 1400 rpm.
Ensure A/C system is off and the engine has no load (all lighting, radio, and defroster should be off).
- Allow engine temperature to reach 70°C-94°C. This temperature range should be achieved when your car's temp gauge shows near the middle (normal operating temp).
- Increase idle speed to 1400 rpm and maintain for 7 minutes.
- Return engine speed to idle (off throttle) for 6 seconds.
- Turn the ignition OFF.
- Wait 10 seconds and repeat this step.

2. Sensor Heater Monitor

- Start engine and with transmission in Park and no load applied, increase engine speed to between 2,000 to 2,500 RPM and maintain this RPM for 2 minutes.
Keep RPM steady at which ever range you've chosen (between 2,000 and 2,500).
- After 2 minutes, reduce engine speed to idle and run engine with no load applied for 6 minutes.

3. Oxygen Sensor Monitor

- Begin driving. Accelerate to 70 km/h and hold speed for 3 minutes.

4. Catalyst Monitor

- Increase speed to between 80-90 km/h and continue driving for 3 minutes.
- Bring the vehicle to a stop and place transmission in Park.
- Idle engine with no load for 3 minutes.

5. EGR Monitor

- Place vehicle in Drive and (D position) and accelerate smoothly up to 2000 rpm. Monitoring MPH at this point is not necessary.
It is only necessary that you maintain required engine RPMs while your Mercedes is moving.
After engine speed reaches 2000 rpms, decelerate smoothly back down to 1100 rpm.
- Stop vehicle. Place transmission in Park. Wait 10 seconds and repeat this step.

6. Fuel System EVAP Monitor

- Ensure the fuel tank level is between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
- Ensure engine temperature less than 100°C.
- With the transmission in Park position, start and idle engine for 20 minutes.
Ensure there is no load. A/C, radio, lighting, and defroster must be off.
- After 20 minutes, turn engine and ignition OFF.
- Wait 10 seconds and repeat this step.

7. Drive Cycle End

- Perform Steps 1 through 6 again.

Fix up an access files issue

You have installed Becker Content Manager and it doesn't find your BMP.
Here is how to fix it up :
- Uninstall the manager.
- Eject all usb devices.
- Plug in the BMP and wait for Windows setting up drivers.
- When the dialog box appears, double-click over Setup.exe.
- Becker Content Manager of the BMP will install and, then, all files and directories are seen.

Fix up a non-official maps update issue

First, make a backup of the whole files and directories on your computer.
Overwrite all older files of the BMP, but keep your previous Navi settings, thus you 'll keep your last records and avoid the unlock code error message.
Don't forget your sound files if you modified the genuine ones.
Set the 2 files : device.xml and device.xmlt read only, either you'll get an error message "Unlock code unavailable".
If, despite everything, you got the same error message, you could solve formating the partition, then pasting directories and files again.
