Mercedes-Benz Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Your Mercedes-Benz communicates with you through its dashboard warning lights. Some of those lights convey maintenance needs. Others highlight performance or safety problems. Below, we clarify 10 warning light meanings.
Airbag Fault
Smart drivers book service appointments when this light appears. It indicates that your vehicle's control module has detected a flaw in your supplemental restraint system. Our professionals can correct this safety-related problem.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
Your vehicle's management system illuminates this light to warn you that your fuel is low. The amount of gas left in the tank at this point depends on your model. Your owner's manual will provide additional details.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
You will receive this light on your dashboard if your oil pressure becomes insufficient. Low oil pressure is typically caused by an inadequate amount of oil in your system or a malfunctioning oil pump. The former is an easy fix, but the latter requires professional service. Driving your Mercedes-Benz with low oil pressure will significantly harm your engine.
Service Vehicle Soon
Make this light your prompt to schedule a service appointment. Your SVS light will activate when your vehicle needs scheduled maintenance or minor repairs. We'll diagnose and address the reason while you wait.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
This safety feature indicates a low tire. When it lights, locate an air compressor. Adjust each tire's air to the pressure level recommended for your Mercedes-Benz. If that step does not turn off your indicator, we'll be happy to service your TPMS sensors.
Slip Indicator
If your dashboard has this indicator, your vehicle is equipped with traction control and stability control. When either of those features engages, your slip indicator will flash. A sustained glow by this indicator likely means that this system needs service.
Charging System Warning Light
Your charging system maintains your battery's charge. If your car won't start, this light tells you that the charging system's circuit is broken. That circuit contains your battery and other components. We can expertly determine which one and get you back on the road.
Brake System
Via this light, your Mercedes-Benz indicates that it may be losing brake pressure. That is a serious issue. Avoid driving your vehicle until you repair your brake system.
Open Door Warning Light
When you see this light, double-check your doors. A bell may accompany this indicator.
Coolant Level Warning
Without sufficient coolant, your engine will fail quickly. This light indicates that your engine coolant is low. Usually, adding coolant is a temporary fix. Your coolant system likely has a leak, which we can expertly repair.
