Trip computer in CLK

[SilverSaloon]

hi

when i test drove my 1999 CLK convertable (pre facelift) on sunday it came up with "4000 miles to service" and "washer fluid low" texts. Is this a trip computer...? the dealer said that the buttons + - and 0 on the left of the binnacle select the functions and can show MPG, miles to empty, distance etc etc.

is this right? as i couldnt seem to find the MPG display etc.

Do you think it has a board computer on it? if it said washer fluid low etc what other messages does it display?

i havent piucked up the car yet from the dealer so unable to check myself!

thanks

I had a CLK 320 just like the one you're buying, except it was Quartz Blue. It does not have a trip computer at all, just distance to service and the washer fluid low texts. It does not show MPG etc etc. You can check oil level too by going through a series of steps (none of which I can remember!!).

Having said all that, it's a great car. It's quieter with the roof up than my current C240 with the AMG wheels. I picked mine up from Stockholm, drove back via Germany, and was cruising at 120mph on the autobahn with roof down, wind deflector on and BOSE sound at full blast, chasing a man on some bike. Sun was out too. Glorious.

It depends the age of it . The older ones don't have this.

If its got the blinky mirrors ( indicators on the mirrors) and the buttons on the steering wheel . then yes. Use the page button to scroll through all the pages.

The Screenwash will appear as a malfunction and the MPG screen should have 2 trips. 1 after start and 2 since reset. this can be accessed using the up and down arrows.

You should also be able to control your stereo assuming its still the MB one thats in there.

No its pre facelift so doesnt give you MPG info and all that.
