The wording "Active engine hood vs. Instruction manual" can be removed from the instrument panel of the Mercedes C-Class by repairing or replacing the hood sensors: these are located on the sides of the front bumper, immediately below the opening and closing pistons.

It is necessary to ensure that the wiring connected to these sensors is not damaged; once the sensors or wiring have been replaced or repaired, it will be possible to see that the error message will not be displayed again.

At the end of the operation, the hood must be closed.
