Vehicle status messages in the
multifunction display
Notes
Warning and malfunction messages appear in
the multifunction display located in the
instrument cluster.
Certain warning and malfunction messages
are accompanied by an audible signal.
Address these messages accordingly and
follow the additional instructions given in this
Operator’s Manual.
High-priority messages are shown in red in
the multifunction display. Messages of lower
priority are also shown in yellow or white.
Certain messages of high priority cannot be
cleared from the multifunction display using
# or L on the multifunction steering
wheel (Y page 232).
Other messages of high priority and
messages of less immediate priority can be
cleared from the multifunction display using
# or L. They are then stored in the
Vehicle status message memory
(Y page 245). Remember that clearing a
message will only make the message
disappear. Clearing a message will not
correct the condition that caused the
message to appear.
G
Warning!
All categories of messages contain
important information which should be
taken note of and, where a malfunction is
indicated, addressed as soon as possible at
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Failure to repair the condition noted may
cause damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty, or result
in property damage or personal injury.
G
Warning!
No messages will be displayed if either the
instrument cluster or the multifunction
display is inoperative.
As a result, you will not be able to see
information about your driving conditions,
such as speed or outside temperature,
warning/indicator lamps, malfunction/
warning messages or the failure of any
systems. Driving characteristics may be
impaired.
If you must continue to drive, please do so
with added caution. Contact an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
On the pages that follow, you will find a
compilation of the most important warning
and malfunction messages that may appear
in the multifunction display.
For your convenience the messages are
divided into text messages (Y page 476) and
symbol messages (Y page 490).
