Risk of accident
No 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, malfunction/warning mes-
sages or system failures. The handling char-
acteristics may be affected.
Immediately consult a qualified specialist
workshop 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
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
