What does the red OFF-P light on a Mercedes-Benz mean?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz OFF-P red light indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's parking sensors. The OFF-P indicator is the radar switch, which activates when the vehicle's speed is below 20 km/h and the reverse gear is engaged, causing the corresponding OFF-P indicator to illuminate on the dashboard. When OFF-P is activated, an alarm will sound when the distance to the vehicle ahead is less than 30 centimeters. If the OFF-P button light is on, the owner cannot clear it themselves. It is necessary to visit a 4S shop or a repair shop where professionals can use a diagnostic tool to confirm the fault code. Based on the fault code, the parking sensors can be repaired. Only after the repair is completed can the diagnostic tool be used to clear the fault light, thereby turning off the Mercedes-Benz OFF-P button light. Dashboard indicator lights come in three colors: red, yellow, and green. When a red indicator light comes on, it indicates a serious fault in the vehicle, and the owner should not continue driving. When a yellow indicator light comes on, it indicates a fault that is not as severe as the red light, and the vehicle can continue to be driven, but repairs should be done as soon as possible. When a green indicator light comes on, there is no need to worry, as it indicates that the function is operating normally.
