Charge indicator lamp

Should the charge indicator lamp fail to

come on prior to starting when the key is in

steering lock position 2 or should it fail to go

out after starting or during operation, this indicates a

malfunction which must be repaired immediately at an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

If the charge indicator lamp comes on, or a loss of power

steering assistance is noticeable while the engine is

running, this may indicate that one of the two poly-V-

belts has broken. Should this condition occur, the poly-

V-belt must be replaced before continuing to operate the

vehicle. Otherwise, the engine may overheat due to an

inoperative water pump which may result in damage to

the engine.

Do not continue to drive the vehicle with the charge

indicator lamp illuminated. Doing so could result in

serious engine damage that is not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Exterior lamp failure indicator lamp

With the key in steering lock position 2, an

indicator 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 stays 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.
