Mercedes-Benz display system standby may be for power saving, and the standby mode will automatically deactivate the next time the engine is started. Method to activate Mercedes-Benz standby mode: Power on the entire vehicle, then enter the vehicle settings, rotate to "Standby Mode" after entering, and a pop-up window will appear asking whether to activate standby mode. Select "Yes," then turn off the power and lock the doors. Introduction to Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned German automobile brand, founded in 1900 and headquartered in Stuttgart. Mercedes-Benz is famous for its high-quality, high-performance automotive products. In addition to premium luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz is also one of the world's most famous manufacturers of large buses and heavy-duty trucks. Currently, Mercedes-Benz is just a division under Daimler.
I've encountered a standby display system situation in my Mercedes-Benz, meaning the infotainment system temporarily enters a resting state. Typically after turning off the ignition, the screen automatically goes dark indicating standby - it's not malfunctioning, but rather Mercedes' intelligent power-saving design. This is similar to when a phone lockscreen goes into standby, with all core functions remaining active in the background for quick wake-up. With Mercedes' numerous electronic systems like MBUX screens or instrument clusters, standby prevents excessive battery drain, especially noticeable during prolonged parking. When you restart the vehicle by pressing the brake or start button, it immediately resumes without additional steps. Once when parked for a week during a business trip, the standby function worked perfectly with no driving impact - so no need for alarm, this feature is quite reliable. Standby also protects component lifespan, showcasing Mercedes' thoughtful attention to detail.
