corded

The stored messages will now be dis-
played in the order in which the mal-
functions have occurred. See the
“Practical hints” section for malfunc-
tion and warning messages
(

Should the vehicle’s system record any
conditions while driving, the number of

tion display when the SmartKey in the
starter switch is turned to position 0 or re-
moved from the starter switch. If you press
the reset button J(

message will be displayed immediately.
Warning! G
Malfunction and warning messages are only
indicated for certain systems and are inten-
tionally not very detailed. The malfunction
and warning messages are simply a remind-
er with respect to the operation of certain
systems and do not replace the owner’s
and/or driver’s responsibility to maintain
the vehicle’s operating safety by having all
required maintenance and safety checks
performed on the vehicle and by bringing
the vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center to address the malfunction and
warning messages (
page 349).

The vehicle status message memory
will be cleared when you switch on the
ignition. You will then only see high-pri-
ority messages in the multifunction dis-
play. These are highlighted in red color
(
page 349).
