| For the "Second Series" (1986-1991), the hydropneumatic suspension was heavily redesigned and named HPF III. The HPF III automatically lowers the chassis by 24 mm when the vehicle is travelled at least 120 km/h for improved aerodynamic flow and better high speed stability. The system adjusts the damping rate from soft to hard based on speed and road condition for extra comfort and better drivability. Additionally, the driver can select to raise the car by 35 mm if travelling over coarse-surfaced road (only up to 80 km/h). From 1986 to 1990, the HPF III option was available in 420 SEL, 500 SEL, 560 SE, and 560 SEL. For the final year of production, HPF III was available in longer wheelbase only (420 SEL, 500 SEL, and 560 SEL). Due to its complexity and tendency to fail catastrophically, HPF III was very difficult to service and was often, at the owner's request, removed and replaced with coil springs and shock absorbers from models without hydropneumatic suspension system.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://5komma6.mercedes-benz-passi.../innovationen/hydropneumatische-federung-hpf/ |work=MBpassion |access-date=30 December 2019 |language=de |title=Hydropneumatische Federung (HPF)}}</ref> | For the "Second Series" (1986-1991), the hydropneumatic suspension was heavily redesigned and named HPF III.

| At the 1983 [[International Motor Show Germany#1983|IAA]], Mercedes-Benz introduced ''Reiserechner'' ("Trip calculator"), its first [[trip computer]] option, in the W126 for the 1984 model year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://5komma6.mercedes-benz-passion.com/der-w126-damals/innovationen/reiserechner/ |language=de |title=Reiserechner |work=MBpassion |access-date=30 December 2019}}</ref> The trip computer has a rectangular control panel on the centre console between the power window switches and the round information panel in the instrument clusters. A panel occupies the gauge cluster formerly used by tachometer, which moved to the left gauge cluster, sharing with oil, fuel, and temperature gauges. The information panel contains a large horizontal LCD display in the middle, which features haptic touch to allow the driver to feel his way around the control buttons without taking his eyes off the road. The option was dropped from the W126 a few years later due to the complexity of configuring the trip computer, requiring an accompanying 18-page instruction handbook to understand its operation, and due to the frequent failure of its control panel buttons.{{Citation needed|date=April 2024}} | At the 1983 [[International Motor Show Germany#1983|IAA]], Mercedes-Benz introduced ''Reiserechner'' ("Trip calculator"), its first [[trip computer]] option, in the W126 for the 1984 model year.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://5komma6.mercedes-benz-passion.com/der-w126-damals/innovationen/reiserechner/ |language=de |title=Reiserechner |work=MBpassion |access-date=30 December 2019}}</ref> The trip computer has a rectangular control panel on the centre console between the power window switches and the round information panel in the instrument clusters.
