Yes, this 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 manual does cover the Active Body Control (ABC) suspension.
Inside you’ll find:
- ABC system overview and how it works
- component locations (accumulators, valves, sensors)
- removal/installation procedures
- hydraulic lines and mounting points
- diagnostic and test procedures
- troubleshooting charts
- bleed/pressure specs
So if your SL500 has the ABC suspension and you need to work on it — rebuild a strut, replace a sensor, test the pump, or chase a fault — this manual walks you through the factory method.
