Seat Belt Warning Lamp; Charge Indicator Lamp - Mercedes-Benz 2002 M-Class Operator's Manual

Seat belt warning lamp

With the key in steering lock position 2, the
seat belt warning lamp comes on for a short
time if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
After starting the engine, the warning lamp remains
illuminated for a short time to remind the driver and
passengers to fasten seat belts.

Charge indicator lamp

Should the charge indicator lamp fail to
come on prior to starting when the key is in
steering lock position 2 or should it fail to go
out after starting or during operation, this indicates a
malfunction which must be repaired at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center immediately.

If the charge indicator lamp comes on while the engine
is running, this may indicate that the poly-V-belt has
broken. Should this condition occur, the poly-V-belt
must be replaced before continuing to operate the
vehicle. Otherwise, the engine will overheat due to an
inoperative water pump which may result in damage to
the engine.
Do not continue to drive the vehicle with the charge
indicator lamp illuminated. Doing so could result in
serious engine damage that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
