Position Display, Function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 and 2003 Mercedes-Benz C230. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The position display and program selection display in the instrument cluster (A1) is actuated via the CAN engine compartment. The program selection performed at the transmission mode switch (S16/5) is transmitted from the ETC [ETC] control unit (N15/3) to the instrument cluster (<>) and the selector lever position is transmitted from the electronic selector lever module control unit (N15/5) to the instrument cluster (A1).

The program selection performed at the transmission mode switch (S16/5) remains stored only after driving approximately 1 minute and is then displayed again after the engine is started again. The driving time required of approximately 1 minute is due to the system.

The shift pattern display (87) is illuminated when the driving lights are switched on.
