Hi Guys,

The following light has come on my Mercedes ML350, have checked the brake fluid and it appears to be fine? Car is driving and braking fine - Any ideas?

Thanks!

AnthonyUK - Yeah that's what I'm thinking maybe? Want to see if this has happened to others? Need to get it down to the garage to take a look at it

If the lamp with that symbol was red it’s a fluid level warning. If it was amber, like your picture it’s a pad wear warning on the older ML iirc

P in the centre instead of ! for the parking brake. The pad wear usually has broken brackets on the outside. I suspect the OP has grabbed a generic pic from t’internet
