 | Mercedes-Benz E-Class commercial features malfunctioning car  VIDEO: Mercedes-Benz E-Class commercial features malfunctioning car by Jonathon Ramsey on Jul 13th 2009 at 4:57PM  Mercedes wardrobe commercial malfunction -- Click above to watch video The voiceover for Mercedes' "Ignite" commercial for the new E-Class starts with "It is, quite simply, the most advanced automobile we have every created." However, during the start-up sequence before that voiceover, the actual commercial begins with a warning light: when the driver turns the car on, the message "Front Right SRS Malfunction Service Required" appears in the dash – not the type of message you expect to see when your car fires up and does its system check. Still, knowing how these things work, we suspect this commercial was probably filmed early on in a pre-production prototype with an inactive airbag – a common enough occurence with these sorts of vehicles. In any case, to watch the commercial and to check out Mercedes' official response to the flub, hit the jump. Hat tip to Wai. [Source: YouTube] Autoblog.com |

  | LOL - And tachometer is at 0 rpm. Not only that, it sounds as if he's revving it. That's not how a car sounds when you start it. Another thing that gets under my skin is when people start new cars with a start button. They hold it down longer than necessary. All you need to do is press it once and wait for it to start.

| Yeah .. even without the start button and dating back to my old W220 S Class, all I had to do was turn the key, and the car would start.
