Practical hints What to do if ... Messages in the display The control system shows warning and malfunction messages in the multifunction display. 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. Selecting the malfunction memory menu in the control system ( page 118) displays both cleared and uncleared messages. High-priority messages appear in the multifunction display in red color. Certain messages of high priority cannot be cleared from the multifunction display using the reset knob. Other messages of high priority and messages of less immediate priority can be cleared from the multifunction display using the reset knob ( page 22) and are then stored in the malfunction message memory ( page 118). Warning! G i Turning the key in starter switch to position 2, causes all lamps as well as the multifunction display to come on. Ensure that they are all in working order before starting your journey. On the pages that follow, you will find a compilation of all the messages that may appear in the display. 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 condition noted may cause damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty, or result in property damage or personal injury. Warning! G No messages will be displayed if either the instrument cluster or the multifunction display is inoperative. Contact your nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 261
