Mercedes-Benz Warning Lights Explained

Along with staying on top of your car’s maintenance schedule, you should also look out for warning lamps and resolve the issue as soon as possible. While the lamps may vary depending on your exact configuration, we’ve listed some of the common warnings and their causes here:

• Restraint System Warning Lamp: The restraint system red warning lamp is lit because the restraint system is malfunctioning.
• Seat Belt Warning Lamp: When the red seat belt warning lamp flashes and there’s an intermittent warning tone, the driver or front passenger has not fastened their seat belt while the vehicle is in motion. It could also be that there are objects on the front passenger seat.
• Reduced Warning Lamp Power: The yellow reduced-power warning lamp is lit when the drive system power output is reduced.
• System Malfunction Warning Lamp: When there is a malfunction in the drive system, the red system error warning lamp will be lit.
• Electrical Malfunction Warning Lamp: The red electrical malfunction warning lamp is lit when there is a malfunction with the electrics.
• Coolant Warning Lamp (Red): The red coolant warning lamp is lit while the engine is running. This could be due to one of these causes: the temperature sensor is malfunctioning; the coolant level is too low; the air supply to the radiator is obstructed; the radiator fan is faulty; or the engine coolant pump is faulty.
• Coolant Warning Lamp (Yellow): If the yellow coolant warning lamp is lit while the engine is running, it could be because the temperature sensor is malfunctioning; the charge air, transmission oil or battery cooling is faulty; or the radiator shutters are blocked or defective.
• Check Engine Warning Lamp: If the yellow engine diagnosis warning lamp is lit, there’s a malfunction has occurred in the engine, the exhaust system, or the fuel system.
• ABS Warning Lamp: The yellow ABS warning lamp is lit because ABS is malfunctioning. If an additional warning tone sounds, EBD is malfunctioning. This warning lamp can also be caused by the malfunction of other driving systems and driving safety systems.
