Exterior Lamp Failure Indicator
When the symbol and message appear
after starting the engine, or if it comes on
while driving, this symbol indicates a
failure in the parking lamp, taillamps,
stop lamp, or low beam headlamp.
If an exterior lamp fails, the indicator
symbol will come on only when that
lamp is switched on.
If a brake lamp fails, the lamp failure
indicator will come on when applying
the brake and stays on until the engine is
turned off.
Note:
If additional lighting equipment is
installed (e.g. auxiliary headlamps etc.)
be certain to connect into the fuse before
the failure indicator monitoring unit in
order to avoid damaging the system.
Brake Pad Wear Indicator
When the symbol and message appear
during braking, this indicates that the
brake pads are worn down.
Have the brake system checked at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible.
Brake Warning
When the brake warning lamp and
message appear while the engine is
running, this means:
•
there is insufficient brake fluid in
the reservoir (engine running
and parking brake released), or
•
the parking brake is set (engine
running).
Warning!
Driving with the brake warning
lamp illuminated can result in an
accident. Have your brake system
checked immediately if the brake
warning lamp stays on. Don't add
brake fluid before checking the
brake system. Overfilling the brake
fluid reservoir can result in spilling
brake fluid on hot engine parts and
the brake fluid catching fire. You
can be seriously burned.
Note:
If you find that the minimum mark on
the brake fluid reservoir is reached,
have the brake system checked for
brake pad thickness and leaks.
