Defective
When the message "Display Defective"
appears, this indicates that the system
is not operational, and possibly other
warnings cannot be shown.
Have the vehicle electronic system
checked at your authorized Mercedes-
Benz dealer as soon as possible.
Charge Indicator
When the symbol and message appear
while the engine is running, this
indicates a fault which must be
repaired at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz dealer immediately.
It may indicate that the poly-V-belt has
broken. Should this condition occur,
the poly-V-belt must be replaced
before continuing to operate the
vehicle. Otherwise, the engine will
overheat due to an inoperative water
pump which may result in damage to
the engine.
Do not continue to drive the vehicle
with the charge indicator symbol
displayed. Doing so could result in
serious engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty.
