How do you check the brake fluid on a Mercedes C Class?
Check Your Car’s Brake Fluid Level in Three Steps
- First, locate the brake fluid reservoir. It can be found on the brake master cylinder under the hood.
- The exterior of the reservoir is labeled with “minimum” and “maximum” fill lines. Compare the brake fluid line to these markers.
- Again, check the brake fluid color.
When does the brake fluid warning light come on?
The last couple of times the brake fluid warning light came on was when I parked the car, put it in park and applied the parking brake. As soon as I applied the parking brake, the warning light came on.
What does the brake light mean on a Mercedes 240D?
I know on my 240D the brake light indicates either low fluid or that the parking brake is on, but on the E300 I’m pretty sure there are two different warning messages, one for the parking brake on and one for low fluid.
What are the symptoms of a defective brake light switch?
Common symptoms of a defective brake light switch. Car stuck in Park. ABS ESP ETS lights come on. Can not move the shifter from Park to Drive. Car won’t shift gears. Stuck in 2nd gear, limp mode. Brake lights don’t work. (Brake light switch can still be defective even if the brake lights work. Checking the brake light operation is not a good test.)
Why is my brake fluid low in my Mercedes C class?
The Mercedes C-Class w204 has a screen in the center of the gauge cluster that will display a “low brake fluid level message.” If you find your brake fluid level continuously dropping after filling the reservoir, there is a leak somewhere in the system. Park the vehicle and pump the brake pedal several times.

Why is my brake light not working on my Mercedes?
Yes it could be the brake light switch. It could be other problems such as low brake fluid level or failed ABS wheel speed sensor. There is no certain way to know without first doing some troubleshooting. Where is the brake light swtich located on a Mercedes-Benz? Right above the brake pedal.
