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 153) 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 ( page 150) or button j, k, ÿ or è on the multifunction steering wheel. Other messages of high priority and messages of less immediate priority can be cleared from the multifunction display using the reset button ( page 150) or button j, k, ÿ or è on the multifunction steering wheel. They are then stored in the vehicle status message memory ( page 162). 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. Warning! G No messages will be displayed if either the instrument cluster or the multifunction display is inoperative. Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 386
