It not only replaces the workshop documentation available to date on paper and microfilm, but also offers a multitude of possibilities for attaining information required. Knowledge required for optimum use of "WIS" is imparted with the help of user documentation together with the "Workshop Information System" (WIS) course. All the WIS functions are dealt with clearly and comprehensibly using text and illustrations. Fast access to individual chapters in this documentation is ensured by a clear list of contents. A comprehensive, alphabetically sorted index facilitates access to all important terms found in the text. The description of the user documentation is based on the "MB-WIS Version G.07.03" software version. GSP/TI 01/2004 Workshop Information System (W I S) General information 2 1 General information With the "Workshop Information System (WIS)" DaimlerChrysler AG's aim is to improve the electronic availability and usefulness of the workshop documentation (e.g. repair, maintenance, basic data, wiring diagrams and in part also documentation organization) of Mercedes-Benz and smart products by optimizing access and presentation. WIS also offers integration to neighboring task areas such as e.g. definition of work units and flat rates using ASRA, and damage coding on one workstation. The following criteria have been taken into consideration: . Modern electronic information system to replace the microfilm and paper media. . Faster document search and display. . Simplification of document search. . Simple system operation. . Access option to vehicle-specific data (vehicle datacard of EPC system). . Vehicle-specific documentation finding. . Simplification of warranty settlement by integrating the damage coding in WIS. . Documentation access using operation number. . Definition of work units or flat rates using ASRA. The system offers: . Increased productivity and speed during the documentation search and shorter waiting times for the workshop personnel accompanying this. . Operation using mouse or keyboard. . Automated documentation search. . Damage coding (for warranty settlement). . Call of the vehicle datacard from the EPC system with code identification written in full. .

Before the Workshop Information System (WIS) was introduced, there were types of documentation. These types of documentation were replaced by uniformly structured types of information. However, as the "Old Documentation" (CASE 1) is still needed for repair, maintenance and care of the vehicles, this led to the workshop documentation being provisionally published in the formats CASE 1 (documentation up to approx. 1995) and CASE 2 (documentation from approx. 1995) with different descriptions of the information. The types of information listed in the Infobox 2 are assigned to the following main types of information: . Current topics Information on new items/modifications (e.g. Introduction into Service), work instructions for special cases, service information. . Work information Information on repair procedures, maintenance work, fault information with information on cause and remedial measures, diagnosis, testing work, exhaust inspection, retrofits/conversions, assembly of accessories, general information, safety information. . Basic knowledge Function descriptions, technical data, information on model/equipment combination. . Basic data Test/adjustment values, torque loadings, capacities, service products specifications, technical changes, repair materials. . Wiring diagrams Electrics, hydraulics, pneumatics. . Tools Information on special tools, self-made tools, commercial tools, workshop equipment. . Organization Hazardous waste disposal, questions on procedure, forms.

The "ASSYST" function in WIS differentiates whether a vehicle is equipped with "ASSYST" or "ASSYST PLUS". ASSYST Since March 1997 the ACTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM (ASSYST) has been included in the Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The Active Service System (ASSYST) replaces rigid maintenance intervals and instead takes into consideration how the vehicle is actually used. The "ASSYST" function in WIS defines the scope of service to be carried out. For vehicles equipped with ASSYST, a differentiation is made between service scope A (small service) and service scope B (more extensive service). When defining the scope of service to be carried out, you have to take into consideration whether the vehicle is equipped with service scope display see section "13.5 ASSYST - with service scope display", or without service scope display see section "13.4 ASSYST - without service scope display" i You can call up more information on the ASSYST function by entering the document number G F 0 0 2 0 P 0 9 9 7 % in "Infobox 1". ASSYST PLUS "ASSYST PLUS" is a further development of the well-known ASSYST system and is being used for the first time in this new form in the new E class (type 211). "ASSYST PLUS" evaluates all service-related data on the vehicle and compiles them into a scope of service according to the date the service is due. The scope of service is identified by means of the workshop code. The workshop code can be - read from the instrument cluster and entered into WIS (standard scenario). or - read out using STAR DIAGNOSIS and transferred to WIS. For this purpose, the ASSYST mask in WIS has been expanded and the interface to STAR DIAGNOSIS has been adapted. In WIS, the "ASSYST" function comprises the existing "ASSYST" functions and the new functions of "ASSYST PLUS". These mean that the workshop code can be entered into the "ASSYST" mask or be transferred using STAR DIAGNOSIS. Using this code, WIS automatically determines the exact scope of service and selects the additional work to be performed see section "13.6 ASSYST PLUS".
