CESAR Parameter Maintenance

Showroom system parameters

CESAR is only applicable to franchises defined in the Mercedes-Benz parameter configuration utility form, all other franchises continuing to function as normal in Showroom. The availability of CESAR also depends on the parameter Is CESAR Available?, which dictates whether Autoline Showroom attempts to connect to CESAR. Any change to this flag is instantaneous and effective for the next attempted connection to CESAR in the quote cycle.

  1. Select Manufacturer systems module and the MB Mercedes-Benz company from the Autoline master menu.
