Question Help in figuring out a warning light for my 1993 400SL?

A red warning light has popped up on my 1993 400 SL's dash dirctly under the 160 mph mark on the speedometer. It's a red circle (a band of red not not solid red) with broken semi circles on either side (imagine it enclosed in parentheses that are three dashes each). Does anyone perhaps know what this might be trying to tell me? Thanks!
PS Sorry if I should not post this in more than one forum....just joined and am learning how this works

sounds like one of the brake related lights.. if it's not your hand/foot brake, it might be that your brakes need servicing
edit: don't you also mean LS400? you mentioned 400SL in both your title and your post :s

it's an "LS 400".
not, as you put it, a "400 SL"

this is not mercedes forum.


probably a brake fluid/wear light.

Red face RE:Warning Light

Right LS 400 (sorry guys). Thanks for the speedy replies, I'll check out the brake lights as well as the brakes.
