Mercedes-Benz Dashboard Warning Symbols

Parking Brake and Brake Fluid Warning Light: This red light may appear if the parking brake is fully released or if there’s an issue with brake fluid levels. If the ABS warning light also illuminates, it signals a malfunction in the braking system. It’s crucial to stop driving immediately and check the brake fluid or contact our service team. 

Check Engine Warning Light: A flashing check engine light often accompanies symptoms like reduced power or stuttering. This could indicate various issues, from minor faults to significant mechanical problems. Get it checked as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

Low Engine Oil Warning Light: This light signals high oil temperature or low oil levels/pressure. Stop the car immediately to check and top up oil levels. If the problem persists, the oil pump may need servicing.

Low Tyre Pressure Warning Light: Modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles have tire pressure monitoring systems. If this light appears, check and inflate the tires promptly. Low pressure can affect vehicle handling and safety.

Power Steering Warning Light: This light signals a problem with the power steering. If it stays on after restarting the car, visit our showroom promptly. Driving with a power steering issue makes maneuvering the car difficult and unsafe. 

Exhaust Particulate Filter (Diesel) Warning Light: For diesel Mercedes-Benz vehicles, this light indicates a problem with the exhaust particulate filter, potentially due to a blockage. Continuing to drive with this light on can cause severe damage and release harmful emissions. Seek service immediately. 

Diesel Exhaust Fluid Warning Light: A yellow light means the diesel exhaust fluid is low. If it turns red, the engine won’t start once turned off. Top up the fluid as soon as possible to avoid being stranded.

Coolant Levels Warning Light: This yellow light alerts you to low coolant levels. Refill the coolant to prevent engine overheating and potential damage. Always wait for the engine to cool down before adding coolant. 

Engine Overheating Warning Light: Stop driving immediately if this red light appears. Overheating can cause irreparable engine damage. Check the coolant levels and allow the engine to cool before proceeding. 

Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Warning Light: If the ESP light stays on, there’s an issue with traction control. Restart the engine to reset. If it persists, consult our service team. 

Glow Plug Warning Light (Diesel): This light appears during engine warm-up in diesel cars. If it flashes, the glow plugs may need replacing. Get this checked promptly to ensure a smooth engine start. 

Airbag/SRS Warning Light: This light indicates a problem with the airbag system or seat belt pretensioners. Immediate attention is needed to ensure these critical safety features function correctly.

Bulb Warning Light: This light indicates a malfunctioning bulb. Replace it promptly to maintain safety and compliance with road regulations.

Hybrid Fault Warning Light: This light indicates a fault in the hybrid system. Stop safely and restart the car to reset it. If the issue persists, contact our experts.

Attention Assist Warning Light: This light reminds you to take a break if the system detects drowsiness or fatigue, enhancing your safety during long drives.
