Exterior Lamp Failure Indicator

Lamp

With the key in steering lock position

2, a dim indicator lamp comes on, and

goes out when the engine is running.

With the key in steering lock position 2

or with the engine running, a bright

illumination of this lamp indicates an

exterior lamp failure.

If an exterior lamp fails, the indicator

lamp will come on only when that lamp

is switched on.

If a brake or turn signal lamp fails, the

lamp failure indicator will come on

when applying the brake or actuating

the turn signal and stay on until the

engine is turned off.

Note:

The indicator lamp will also come on if

an incorrect bulb is installed.

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.

Seat Belt Warning Lamp

With the key in steering lock position

2, the warning lamp comes on and an

audible warning sounds for a short time

if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.

After starting the engine, the warning

lamp blinks for a brief period to remind

the driver and passengers to fasten seat

belts before driving off.

Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp

The brake pad wear indicator lamp in

the instrument cluster comes on when

the key in the steering lock is turned to

position 2 and goes out when the

engine is running.

If the indicator lamp lights up during

braking, this indicates that the front

wheel brake pads are worn down.

Have the brake system checked at your

authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as

soon as possible.
