What happens when the message "go to the workshop without changing gear" appears on the dashboard of a Mercedes? This means that the vehicle has detected a serious problem that requires intervention by a specialized mechanic. The problem is generally localized to the automatic transmission, engine, or transmission, so continuing to drive the car could cause damage and put the safety of oneself and others at risk.

It is therefore advisable to contact roadside assistance, and not attempt to repair the fault on your own. Professional intervention is required, as we see in the video.
