Vehicle status messages in the multi-
function display
Notes
Warning and malfunction messages appear in
the multifunction display located in the instru-
ment cluster.
Certain warning and malfunction messages
are accompanied by an audible signal.
Address these messages accordingly and fol-
low the additional instructions given in this
Operator’s Manual.
Selecting the Vehicle status message
memory menu in the control system
(Y page 134) displays both cleared and
uncleared messages.
High-priority messages appear in the multi-
function display in red color.
Certain messages of high priority cannot be
cleared from the multifunction display using
the reset button (Y page 124) or button
j, k, · or è on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel.
Other messages of high priority and mes-
sages of less immediate priority can be
cleared from the multifunction display using
the reset button (Y page 124) or button
j, k, · or è on the multifunc-
tion steering wheel. They are then stored in
the Vehicle status message memory menu
(Y page 134). Remember that clearing a mes-
sage will only make the message disappear.
Clearing a message will not correct the con-
dition that caused the message to appear.

Warning!
All categories of messages contain impor-
tant information which should be taken
note of and, where a malfunction is indi-
cated, addressed as soon as possible at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Failure to repair condition noted may cause
damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty, or result in property dam-
age or personal injury.
G
Warning!
No messages will be displayed if either the
instrument cluster or the multifunction dis-
play is inoperative.
As a result, you will not be able to see infor-
mation 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 com-
pilation of the most important warning and
malfunction messages that may appear in the
multifunction display.
For your convenience the messages are div-
ided into text messages (Y page 256) and
Symbol messages (Y page 269).
