How to Remove the Energy Consumption Display on Mercedes Dashboard?
4 Answers
Mercedes dashboard's energy consumption display cannot be turned off. You can only switch the dashboard display to the main page showing the total mileage by using the up and down page-turning keys on the multifunction button on the left side of the steering wheel. The calculation of vehicle energy consumption is a data statistic recorded in real-time by the vehicle's onboard control computer, comparing the consumption of fuel or electricity with the driving distance. Mercedes is a German luxury car brand and the inventor of the automobile. Its main car series include the A, B, C, E, S, G-Class, GLC, and SLK-Class. The "three-pointed star" serves as the emblem of Mercedes-Benz cars, symbolizing motorization on land, water, and in the air.
I just helped a friend with a similar issue on their Mercedes a couple of days ago. The energy consumption display on the dashboard is usually a default vehicle setting that can be resolved using the multifunction control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Here's the specific procedure: After starting the vehicle, press the menu button with the square symbol on the left side of the steering wheel, swipe the touchpad to the right to find the settings option, and enter the instrument display content menu where you can see all items currently shown by the trip computer. Simply locate the energy consumption information section, enter it, and turn off the display switch. After turning it off, remember to press the return button to confirm the changes, and it won't pop up again on the next startup. For some older Mercedes models, you might need to adjust the instrument display settings through the central control screen, but the principle is essentially the same.
When I drive my Mercedes, I also find the fuel consumption display on the dashboard annoying, so I figured out a simple solution. Try this: First, press the right button on the left-side cross key of the steering wheel to bring up the menu interface, then scroll down to select the settings icon (a small gear). Inside, you'll find the vehicle display options, which list all the current dashboard information items. Select the energy consumption data row and directly click to turn off the display function. The key is to confirm the change and then press the return button on the steering wheel to exit the settings layer. This process takes about twenty seconds, and your next drive will be much cleaner. If the operation isn’t successful, I recommend turning off the engine and restarting it to try again, as electronic systems occasionally have delayed responses.
This type of display issue is actually quite common in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The quickest way to resolve it is: With the vehicle running, use the left hand to operate the steering wheel touchpad. First, swipe left to bring up the main menu, select the control panel icon, and locate the energy consumption statistics option within the display content group. The key is to find the corresponding name (which might be labeled as fuel consumption/power consumption/energy consumption statistics, etc.). After selecting to turn it off, the system will ask for confirmation of the change—select 'Yes' to apply. The entire process doesn't require entering the central control system, avoiding the danger of operating while driving. If you wish to restore it later, simply follow the same path to turn it back on.
