Exterior Lamp Failure Indicator
Lamp
With the key in steering lock posi­
tion
2
, an indicator lamp comes on
for approximately 30 seconds. It
should go out when the engine is
running.
If the warning lamp does not go
out after approx. 30 seconds or
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 in­
dicator 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.
Tachometer
Red marking on tachometer:
Excessive engine speed.
Avoid this engine speed, as it may
result in engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
For engine protection, the fuel
supply is interrupted if the engine
is operated within the red marking.
Brake Pad Wear Indicator Lamp
With the key in steering lock
position
2
, the brake pad wear
indicator lamp comes on for
approximately 30 seconds. 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.
