Mercedes-Benz Service Dyno Mode | Secret Menu

Do you want access to your Mercedes-Benz Instrument Cluster Secret Menu, the service menu, or the engineering menu? Follow the procedures below to see the secret menu on your Mercedes-Benz using your Instrument Cluster.

1. Enter your Mercedes-Benz and close the door.
2. Insert the key in the ignition and turn it with one click. Press a Start/Stop button on a vehicle once without pressing the brake pedal. The key must be in the car.
