What are Mercedes-Benz SA codes?
Mercedes-Benz SA codes (Sonderausstattung) are factory identifiers used to describe equipment, options and specific vehicle configurations. Mercedes-Benz vehicle data can also contain other factory codes relating to paint, upholstery, packages, market versions or technical specifications. Each code has a defined meaning in the manufacturer’s data.
The decoder helps you understand the meaning of a known code, but the code itself does not confirm that it was assigned to a specific vehicle. To check the factory configuration recorded for a particular VIN, use the Mercedes-Benz Datenkarte.
