Lightbulb hidden menu

I dont know if you guys already knew about this..

1. turn your key to Position 1.
2. Press the reset buttom 3 times (fast).
3. turn your key to Position 2.

a hidden menu should be popped up
it states the oil level in litres,
you can do ESP test and so on..

It works on my w203 C240 and S211 E320 CDI but wont work on my W211 E240

On an E320cdi W211 (november '03) the trick isn't working. Maybe there's another key sequence?

instead of pressing the reset button 3 times just hold it down for 3 seconds
