Equipment and practical details
Mercedes-Benz A-class · Generation 1, W168, V168, facelift · Europe · 03.2001 - 09.2004. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.
