Display messages

Display messages
The operating system shows warnings or
malfunctions in the multi-function display.
Certain messages are accompanied by an
audible warning signal or a continuous
tone.
High-priority messages are highlighted in
red in the display. These messages are
printed in red in the following tables.
Please respond in accordance with the
messages and follow the additional notes
in this Owner's Manual.
You can acknowledge low-priority mes-
sages by pressing the è, ·,
j or k buttons on the multi-
function steering wheel or the reset
button on the left in the instrument
cluster. They will then be stored in the
malfunction memory.
Highest-priority messages cannot be
acknowledged and are automatically
stored in the malfunction memory.

If you select the malfunction memory
menu in the operating system, the ac-
knowledged and unacknowledged mes-
sages will appear ( page 116).

Malfunctions and faults are only indicated
and displayed by certain systems. The messages
serve merely to make sure that the vehicle oper-
ates safely.

Risk of accident
No messages are displayed if the instrument
cluster or multi-function display fails. Other
systems which significantly affect the vehi-
cle's handling characteristics may have
failed.
Contact a qualified specialist workshop im-
mediately which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-
tre for this purpose. In particular, work rele-
vant to safety or on safety-related systems
must be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.

Turning the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock or pressing the KEYLESS GO* button twice
activates all the warning and indicator lamps
(except for the turn signal indicator lamps) and
the multi-function display. Please check that
they are working properly before commencing a
journey.
The following tables show all the display
messages. The messages are divided into

vant message:
