dash symbol?

[Rappey69]

Looked through handbook but cant find this so its time to ask what this means?
I get it every time I start the car and it goes after 30 secs...

No seatbelts in use on the 3 rear seats?

 

[vtaylor78]

Is it to do with how many are in the vehicle, and if they have their seat belts on ??

 

[Rappey69]

your asking me? Ive no idea what it means, but with just me in the car its there every time I start it...

 

[L John]

Mines an older model but mine shows text to say how many rear seatbelts are fastened. (0,1,2, or 3 rear seatbelts fastened).
The text goes away after around 30 seconds.
Yours has images, try fastening one of the rear seat belts to see what it shows.

It shows who in the rear has their seat belt on. As you have no rest passengers, they all look the same, but buckle one of the seat belts and start the car and you will see the difference.

^ this!

I thought all Mercedes came fitted with three wise monkeys!

 

[Blobcat]

As per above they change colour (or they did in mine) when the seat belts are in use

Thanks guys... seemed a bit odd to tell me how many are sat in the back as its not something that would go un noticed...
but I did up a seat belt and it changes !
Also discovered that in drive, hill start assist applied, you can open the door and get out ! It does set of dash warnings, but once out you cant see them any way
That's one way to check all the brake light leds are working.. haha

Excellent, does it hold as long as this?

 

[Rappey69]

I didn't leave the side of the car, just in case... it only goes 5mph in 1st.. maybe it would speed up downhill?

If you press the ok button on the left side of the steering wheel the logo will disappear & dashboard will read normally.
It may also make it easier to see that your next stop should be for fuel.

The latest fad on the net now seems to show the driver getting out of the car, with an internal camera recording his / her every move, So as the car rolls forward, the driver executes some very cleaver dance moves, which are all being recorded...before jumping back into the car again, just in time to avert an accident etc. There are a lot of "FAILS" in this latest car craze.....
