How to Turn Off the S Display on the Mercedes Dashboard?
2 Answers
The method to turn off the S display on the Mercedes dashboard is: simply switch off the S mode. Models under the Mercedes brand include: Mercedes E-Class, Mercedes S-Class, Mercedes G-Class, Mercedes GLC, Mercedes GLS, Mercedes GLE, and Maybach S-Class. Taking the Mercedes GLC as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4729 mm, width 1890 mm, height 1602 mm, wheelbase 2873 mm, fuel tank capacity 66 liters, and body structure is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV. The Mercedes GLC is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 197 hp, maximum power of 145 kW, maximum power speed of 6100 rpm, and maximum torque of 320 Nm.
When the 'S' appears on the dashboard, it usually indicates that the Mercedes-Benz has automatically activated Sport mode. Having driven a Mercedes for several years, I've found it quite simple to turn it off, mainly through transmission operations: in automatic transmission models, simply shift the gear lever to the 'D' position, or select 'C' for Comfort mode. Some newer Mercedes models might use steering wheel paddles to switch, such as pressing the left or right buttons to return to the standard driving state. If that doesn't work, access the settings menu through the central control screen, look for the driving mode options, and select Eco or Comfort to resolve it. Although S mode makes acceleration more exhilarating, it significantly increases fuel consumption, makes daily driving less comfortable, and produces more noise, so it's safer to manually turn it off as soon as you see it. Don't worry about accidentally entering it during startup; the Mercedes system is very intelligent, and manual operations pose no risk. It's advisable to make a habit of checking the mode before driving to save hassle and effort. If you've tried everything and it still won't turn off, it might be a sensor issue, so promptly contact a 4S shop or consult the owner's manual.
