1 Answers
Mercedes dashboard red triangle with a car inside represents the Distance Warning Light, which reminds the driver to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead to prevent rear-end collisions and avoid traffic accidents. When this light is on, simply maintaining a proper distance allows normal driving. Additional information: 1. Front and rear fog light indicators: These show the working status of the front and rear fog lights. When the fog lights are turned on, both indicators light up. 2. Turn signal indicators: When the turn signal is activated, the corresponding indicator flashes at a certain frequency. When the hazard warning lights are pressed, both indicators light up simultaneously. The indicators automatically turn off once the turn signals are deactivated. 3. High beam indicator: This shows whether the headlights are in high beam mode. Normally, this indicator is off but lights up when the high beams are activated or during the momentary high beam function. 4. Seatbelt indicator: This displays the seatbelt status. Depending on the vehicle model, the light may stay on for a few seconds as a reminder or until the seatbelt is fastened. Some vehicles may also include an audible alert.
