I've seen similar issues with a Mercedes V Class Transport mode should be deactivated before customer handover The symptoms suggest incomplete deactivation, causing CAN bus communication errors Have you checked for diagnostic trouble codes using a Mercedes-specific scan tool Are there any U-codes Communication errors A software installation to the affected modules might fix it

Thanks I don't have a Mercedes-specific scan tool When you had this, did the software installation completely fix it, or was more needed Which modules are typically affected

The software installation completely resolved it The affected modules can vary, but the telematics unit, central gateway, and instrument cluster are often involved The dealer's diagnostic system will identify the modules needing attention Due to complex coding, I advise against a DIY fix Take it to a certified Mercedes-Benz workshop

Thanks I dropped it off at the workshop They confirmed a software glitch related to transport mode A software installation fixed it It was covered under warranty, so there was no repair cost I appreciate the help
