Hi guys. How do u check the battery voltage on a w203 using the menus on the dashboard cluster, and what is the reading meant to be...
Thanks
 
Turn the key but not all the way to start the engine,
Toggle the menu until mileage is displayed.
Press the button sticking through the clear perspex 3 times, itwill beep
It will display UB and a number.

This is the voltage. At this point it should be around the 12-12.5v mark, the battery voltage.

Start the engine, the reading will drop momentarily to 11ish then should read 14-14.5v which shows the alternator is charging at the correct rate. It should not exceed 14.5v

Hope this helps
