Practical hints What to do if ... Vehicle status messages in the multifunction display 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. Selecting the vehicle status message memory menu in the control system ( page 126) 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 button J ( page 24) or button j, k, ·, or è on the stering wheel. Other high-priority messages and messages of less immediate priority (regular display colors) can be cleared from the multifunction display using the reset button J ( page 24) or button j, k, ·, or è on the stering wheel. They are then stored in the vehicle status message memory ( page 126). 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. Warning! G 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. 348
