Display messages

Notes
The on-board computer shows warnings or
malfunctions in the multi-function display.
Certain display messages are accompanied
by a warning tone or a continuous tone.
The multi-function display shows high-priority
display messages in red. In the following
tables, these display messages are printed in
red.
Please respond in accordance with the dis-
play messages and follow the additional
notes in this Owner's Manual.
G Risk of accident
No further messages can be displayed if
there is a malfunction in the instrument
cluster and/or the multi-function display.
This means that you will not see information
about the driving situation, such as the
speed, outside temperature, warning/indi-
cator lamps, display messages or system
failures. The vehicle's handling character-
istics may be affected. Adjust your driving
style and speed accordingly.
Immediately consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose. In particu-
lar, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
When you stop and park the vehicle, please
observe the instructions provided for HOLD
( Y page 144)and parking ( Y page 103).
The following tables contain all the display
messages.

Hiding display messages

Some high priority display messages cannot
be hidden. The multi-function display shows
these messages continuously until the cau-
ses of the messages have been remedied.

ing wheel.
