I would like to know if my 1993 600SEL has a limited slip rear differential. How can I make this determination? [?]

ASR

ASR automatic slip control was standard on all 500s & 600s. I think it is the anti slip that applies the brake to the wheel that is spinning thru the ABS system.

Your car is equiped with 'traction control' and you'd notice a yellow triangle light flash...

Your car is equiped with 'traction control' and you'd notice a yellow triangle light flashing in the middle of the cluster mean it's doing it's job when you're on slippery surface.

limited slip

newby:
if you get out your vehicle data card,(last page in your maintenance booklet) and look at the list of numbers at the bottom. if you have #256 in there then you have limited slip.

Is ASR the same as "limited slip"?

LSD is the mechanical predecessor..

ASR is a traction control program based off ABS. ASR *attempts* to mimic LSD.
