presumably due to poor translations from German:
Paul

I’ve a feeling you’re right Paul.
Any idea what the original German words are??
Is there any way to scroll languages on the control panel??
I’ve a sneaking fancy that I might know the answer to this :wink:

‘also you’re doing 90 while taking a photo of your dashboard’

err, 56 actually!!

sorry i’m used to KMs, but my point stands lol

i drive a 99 MAN. you know when the washer bottle level is low. the washers stops working :confused:

It is not the truck that winds me up but the stupid telephone.

“Someone tried to contact you but didn’t leave a message”

So I go into the call register.

17 missed calls :stuck_out_tongue:

“The caller witheld their number”

Unless its a Red one I keep right on Rolling !!! :shock: :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

my merc sprinter tells me when the brake pads are low with a constant beeping and a message saying “brake low”

206doorman:
‘also you’re doing 90 while taking a photo of your dashboard’

err, 56 actually!!

More like 54 :laughing:

I stand corrected, Steve, (in my orthopaedic toe-caps :slight_smile:
:laughing: :laughing:

If you let the washer fluid get low in a Merc Axor it gives you a nice bit of sarcasm, presumably due to poor translations from German:

Anyone else got any good examples of badly worded dash messages?

Paul

looks like you need to “top up diesel tank occasionally” also Paul :laughing:

Also, whilst we’re on this. How do you reset the trip counter on an actross?

The little button on left with the 000’s on it resets the hours counter.

I moved one of our puddle jumpers the other day, a tiny atego. Got in fired up and moved the few yard in the yard. Then a red light appeared with message about air brake chamber pressure being low, the gauge was where the usually are though. Mental german rubbish!
