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. High-priority messages are shown in red on the multifunction display. Messages of lower priority are also shown in yellow or white. Address these messages accordingly and follow the additional instructions given in this Operator's Manual. Certain messages of high priority cannot be cleared from the multifunction display using # or L on the multifunction steering wheel ( page 152). 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 ( page 164). 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 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. 387
