Malfunction and warning messages are only 
indicated for certain systems and are inten-
tionally not very detailed. The malfunction 
and warning messages are simply a remind-
er with respect to the operation of certain 
systems and do not replace the owner’s 
and/or driver’s responsibility to maintain 
the vehicle’s operating safety by having all 
required maintenance and safety checks 
performed on the vehicle and by bringing 
the vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Light Truck Center to address the malfunc-
tion and warning messages (
page 428).
