Introduction of the New 4MATIC Drive in Model Series 221 b 9 – This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 03 / 2007 – Transfer case Drive train

1 Automatic transmission output shaft 6 Lateral output with integral universal joint 3 Planetary gear differential 7 Front axle propeller shaft 4 Rear axle output 8 Multidisk clutch 5 Lateral output drive gear (with sun gear) 9 Automatic transmission

The transfer case is integrated in the rear part of the 7-speed automatic transmission. A special feature is the single-speed lateral output of the transfer case, which contains a universal joint (that of the propeller shaft to the front axle). The single-speed design means that the spur gear set and bearing from the two-speed lateral output of previous transfer cases are no longer necessary. This has positive effects on the efficiency, weight and noise behavior of the drive train. $ Repair information The transfer case cannot be replaced separately.  It must be replaced or repaired complete with the automatic transmission.

1 Automatic transmission output shaft 4 Rear axle output 2 Transfer case drive shaft (ring gear) 5 Lateral output drive gear (with sun gear) 3 Double planetary gear set (planetary gear differential) 6 Front axle lateral output

The double planetary gear set acts as a planetary gear differential between the front and rear , via which the engine torque is distributed. The gear ratio is designed so that 55 % of the engine torque is transmitted to the rear axle and 45 % to the front axle.

1Sun gear 4 Ring gear 2 Planet carrier 5 Planetary gear guide 3 Double planetary gear set

The planetary gear differential distributes the engine torque from the automatic transmission to the outputs to the front and rear axles. The ring gear is connected with the output shaft of the automatic transmission. It transmits the engine torque converted by the automatic transmission to the double planetary gear set. The planet carrier forms the output to the rear axle and the sun gear transmits the engine torque via the lateral output to the front axle. $ The ratio in which the engine torque is distributed results from the gear ratio between the ring gear and the sun gear.

1 Lateral output drive gear with sun gear 6 Rear axle drive 2 Planet carrier with double planetary gear set 7 Snap ring 4 Ring gear with transfer case drive shaft

When the vehicle is moving in a straight line, the input and output shafts of the planetary gear set rotate at the same speed. The planetary gear set rotates as a unit. Only when there is an rpm difference at the wheels on the front and rear axles (e.g. when cornering) does a relative movement occur between the sun gear and the planet carrier.  The planetary gears then turn between the sun gear and the ring gear to compensate the rotational speed differences. The planetary gears are helically geared in order to achieve low noise levels as the planetary gears rotate.

$ In a permanent all-wheel drive system, a central differential is necessary in order to compensate different wheel speeds between the front and rear axles. In 4MATIC vehicles this function is performed by the planetary gear differential.

(pre-compressed). If any wheels on either axle are spinning, a friction torque is transmitted from the faster-turning axle to the slower-turning axle. This produces a variable torque shift of approx. 50 Nm between the front and rear axles depending on the driving condition.

It reduces the shock during changeover play effect of both drive trains to occur a load change (change from acceleration to overrun or simultaneously. The load change behavior of the from overrun to acceleration mode). 4MATIC vehicles can thus be reduced to the level of a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Any load change is accompanied by the effect resulting from the accumulated changeover play of all components forming part of the entire drive train. This can be felt by the driver as a load change jolt. As the changeover play in an all-wheel drive vehicle is significantly increased by the additional drive train to the front axle, load change jolts are especially pronounced in this case. $ Changeover play The changeover play is the sum of the play effects of all the gear wheels in the drive train when the load direction or direction of rotation is reversed.

1 Lateral output drive gear 4 Lateral output 2 Lateral output driven gear 5 Propeller shaft to front axle differential 3 Universal joint 6 Positioning aid

A propeller shaft transmits the torque from the lateral output of the transfer case to the front axle differen- tial. The universal joint at the transmission end of the propeller shaft is integrated in the output gear of the lateral output. The propeller shaft tube is pushed over the yoke of the lateral output using a 7° spiral arc gearing. $ Repair information The universal joints must be assembled in a One tooth space at the beginning of the yoke predefined correlated position to gurantee the gearing is missing. The hub gearing on the uniform transfer of the rotation. propeller shaft has corresponding missing teeth at two opposite positions. This means that the propeller shaft tube can only be installed in two positions that are offset by 180°.

4 Lateral output 5 Front axle propeller shaft 7 Front axle differential propeller shaft flange

At the front axle differential end, the propeller shaft is bolted to the drive pinion of the front axle differential via a flange connection.

$ A universal joint that runs under an articulation always produces a nonuniform rotary movement.  If the angles formed between the axes of the propeller shaft tube and the yokes are the same and lie in the same plane, the nonuniform rotary movements of the two universal joints cancel each other out. The output speed of the propeller shaft passed on to the front axle differential is thus uniform.

Because of their integrated design, the transfer case and automatic transmission have a common oil system. Oil from the oil return is fed from the transmission oil cooler to the transfer case via a separate feed inlet on the housing of the automatic transmission. The oil feed is restricted to approx. 100 ml/min by means of a restrictor in the oil line connector. An oil sump is formed in the lateral output chamber, the oil level of which is constantly regulated to max. 700 ml. If the oil level rises above 700 ml while the vehicle is stationary, the oil drains through the central tapered roller bearing into the automatic transmis- sion.

Here the oil is accumulated and drains back into the lateral output chamber via the through hole in the floor of the accumulation chamber. This principle keeps the oil sump while driving as small as possible in order to prevent substantial turbulence in the oil. If the oil level in the accumulation chamber rises above a level of max. 700 ml, the oil drains through a return hole into the automatic transmission. $ Service note Detailed instructions for checking the oil level and filling with oil will be available in WIS by the time of the market launch.

The goal was to further improve the handling, traction, directional stability and road adhesion of the S-Class in wintry conditions (snow- and ice-covered road surfaces).

The highest possible levels of traction, directional stability and road adhesion, taking into account the load distribution of the vehicle and the dynamically changing axle load distribution during acceleration, are achieved by the following measures: • The fixed distribution of the drive torque (front axle 45 % and rear axle 55 %) • The locking action of the multidisk clutch of approx. 50 Nm produces an additional passive alteration of the torque distribution
