Understanding Dashboard Light Colors
Mercedes-Benz warning lights generally follow a color-coded system:
- Green indicates normal operation, with no action required.
- Yellow means a system isn’t working properly, and you should schedule service soon.
- Red signals an urgent issue that needs immediate attention. Pull over when safe and call for assistance if necessary.
Key Warning Lights and Their Meanings
Brake System Light: This could indicate low brake fluid or an issue with the braking system. If the ABS light is also illuminated, seek service immediately to ensure your brakes are fully operational.
Battery Charge Warning: If this light comes on, it signals a potential issue with the battery or charging system. Possible culprits include the alternator or battery cables. Bring your vehicle in for service before your battery fully drains.
Coolant Level Light: This yellow light means the coolant is low. Stop and add coolant or visit our service center to prevent overheating if possible.
Check Engine Light: A steady or flashing check engine light may signify anything from an exhaust issue to engine misfiring. Schedule service to diagnose and fix the issue promptly before it becomes a critical problem.
