I am only an amateur compared to the Grandmaster DaveW68, but I believe the message from the oracle should be interpreted as, "There is a problem with the passenger side front of the car. Take it to the workshop for diagnosis."

Or...you could always find a diagnostic system and run a diagnostic test.

Seriously, the car is telling you that there is a problem. If you don't have the equipment to read the codes, how the Hell are we supposed to know what the problem is?

If you want to own a Mercedes, either pay the dealer or invest in the diagnostic equipment so we can help you.

assuming left-hand drive- would that message denote failure with your choice of a spouse?

on another thought- this is an airmatic issue - rarely pops up but in general means your front right airmatic assembly has height sensor (or similar) errors.
