Display priority

The displays and functions are displayed depending on the situation and priority. The instrument cluster (A1) distinguishes between the main priority and secondary priority of a warning message.

The multifunction display (A1p13) first of all shows the warning messages in the sequence of the respective main priority. If there are several warning messages of the same main priority present, the value of the secondary priority of a warning message decides on the display sequence. New warning messages have the highest priority.

After the display for the first time the warning message is classified in the display roll.

These warning messages are divided into the following three categories according to their priority.

Category 1 include the messages of highest priority. These warning messages cannot be deleted. When they occur, a brief warning tone is sounded. Any errors of categories 2 and 3 are hidden.
Category 2 includes the messages of medium priority. These warning messages can be acknowledged with the instrument illumination rheostat and reset button (A1r1). When they occur, a brief warning tone is sounded. Any faults of category 3 are hidden.
Category 3 includes the messages of lowest priority. These warning messages can be acknowledged with the instrument illumination rheostat and reset button (A1r1). There is no warning tone.

Fault storage

The messages are stored in 3 rolling memories based on their priority:

U roll; this is the directory of all warning messages which are not acknowledged and displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13). Displays of the same or higher main priority are faded in after the minimum display time of the preceding warning message has elapsed.
After the minimum display time has elapsed for the warning with the lowest secondary priority the fault roll starts again for the warning message with the highest secondary priority (ring memory).
W roll; all the faults which occurred while driving and were acknowledged are entered here. It can be called up as required from the menu tree in the multifunction display (A1p13). After calling up the W roll first of all a start display with the number of warning messages occurring is displayed, then the warning messages are displayed in the sequence of their main priority.
N roll; In this, after circuit 15R is switched off, all the warning messages entered in the N roll are called up automatically in the sequence of their secondary priority. The number of warning messages entered is displayed in the initial picture. The warning buzzer (A1h1) is actuated briefly synchronously with the presentation of the start pattern. The warning messages displayed must be acknowledged. The N roll is completed if all the warning messages are acknowledged.

If no warning messages are entered or all warning messages entered are acknowledged, the multifunction display (A1p13) is switched off after 30 seconds. If there are still warning messages which have not been acknowledged, the display only switches off after 2 minutes.

When a warning with a higher priority causes discontinuity in the N dynamometer, the system subsequently restarts with the start screen display.

With some messages, as long as the fault exists, a warning lamp or indicator lamp is also actuated. This also applies if the associated warning message has been acknowledged

Acknowledgment of warning messages.

Warning messages can be acknowledged manually or automatically. Manual acknowledgment takes place by pressing the scroll forward/back button (S110s1) and the system selection button (S110s3) or the instrument illumination rheostat and reset button (A1r1).

If the cause of a message which can be acknowledged automatically is not applicable, the warning is displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) for the duration of its minimum display time.

For faults, where in addition a warning lamp or indicator lamp is to be actuated, this warning lamp or indicator lamp goes into operation synchronously with the multifunction display (A1p13). The warning lamp or indicator lamp remains actuated, as long as the warning message exists, irrespective of whether the warning message on the multifunction display (A1p13) has already been acknowledged.

Acknowledgment takes place automatically after a certain time span

Reminder of acknowledged warning messages

If warning messages were acknowledged while driving, these are displayed once again as a reminder with "Circuit 15R ON". In the process current messages, e.g. "Lights left on warning", overlay this reminder function. If no warning messages were present, the basic display appears after "Circuit 15R ON".

Display stored warning messages

When the instrument cluster (A1) is activated the stored warning messages can be scrolled through as per the following function diagram:

Press the system selection button (S110s3) until the "PROBLEMS" display appears in the multifunction display (A1p13).
Scroll through the fault messages using the button + and -, setting of specific functions and volume control (S111s1). The messages are displayed in descending order based on their priority.
On vehicles with code (414) power glass tilting/sliding roof when the tilting/sliding roof (SHD) is open, the warning "SLIDING ROOF OPEN" is displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) when the transmitter key is removed (A8/1) and the driver door is open.
The warning "ENTER TELEPHONE PIN" is displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) delayed by 60 seconds after starting the engine and acknowledged automatically after 5 seconds, if a Personal Identification Number (PIN) has still not been entered.
The display "DISTRONIC-LOCATE WORKSHOP" is only displayed in the multifunction display (A1p13) after the engine is running.
On model 209.3 it is possible to switch on the opening limit for the trunk lid on the multifunction steering wheel. In the multifunction display (A1p13) this is displayed by the display "OPENING LIMIT FOR TRUNK LID ON/OFF".
The display "CLEAN SENSOR-SEE OPERATOR'S MANUAL" in the multifunction display (A1p13) is replaced by "DISTRONIC AVAILABLE AGAIN - REACTIVATE".

If the DTR again detects full sensor availability (dirt detaches while driving), it is also operational again without restarting the vehicle. The message "DISTRONIC AVAILABLE AGAIN - REACTIVATE" is displayed for 5 seconds in this case.
