2004 E320
Display Symbol / Display Messages

A symbol that looked like a faucet is displayed in my control system but there is no malfunction message in the multifunction display. The manual indicates the possible cause as follows "Certain electronic systems are unable to relay information to the control system. The following systems may have failed:"
. Coolant temperature display
. Tachometer
. Cruise control display

I have tested the above suggested failed systems and they are still functional. What do you think could be the reason for the coming up of the display symbol? Has anyone experienced this problem? My Car is a 2004 E320

I would suggest you have a dealer, independent, or anyone with SDS access check for stored fault codes.
