Exterior Lamp Failure indicator Lamp
With the electronic key in steering lock position 2, an exterior lamp comes on. It should go out when the engine is
running. If the warning lamp does not go out after starting the engine, or if it comes on while driving, this lamp
indicates a failure in the parking lamp, taillamp, stop lamp, or low beam headlamp. If an exterior lamp fails, the
indicator lamp 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 stay 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 Lamp
With the electronic key in steering lock position 2, the brake pad wear indicator lamp comes on .
It goes out when the engine is running.
If the indicator lamp lights up 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 Lamp
With the electronic key in steering lock position 2, the brake warning lamp will come on. It should go out when the
engine is running. The brake warning lamp will come on:
•
•
when there is insufficient brake fluid in the reservoir (engine running and parking brake released), or
when 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.
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. To test the brake warning lamp, turn electronic key in steering lock to position 2. The brake
warning lamp comes on, and should go out when the engine is running.
