Practical hints Vehicle status messages in the multifunction display Vehicle status messages in the multifunction display Notes 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. High-priority messages are shown in red in the multifunction display. Messages of lower priority are also shown in yellow or white. Certain messages of high priority cannot be cleared from the multifunction display using # or L on the multifunction steering wheel (Y page 232). 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 (Y page 245). 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. G Warning! 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 the condition noted may cause damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty, or result in property damage or personal injury. G Warning! 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. On the pages that follow, you will find a compilation of the most important warning and malfunction messages that may appear in the multifunction display. For your convenience the messages are divided into text messages (Y page 476) and symbol messages (Y page 490). Z 475
