the switch is used to turn the tow-alarm OFF (with a red indicating it is off).
You should download your model year oerator's manual from the benzworld.org forum for details.

If you get the red light after pushing the switch to turn the feature off, it is working when the light is off -
if your basic alarm system works (i.e. red light flashing on the switch with the key symbol, when car is locked)!
if it does not do this, the battery in the alarm siren is dead (after about 6 -7 years).

read the manual as per my post above.

Perhaps to make the function a little clearer...

You should almost never have to push that button. You normally just lock the car, and leave that button alone.

The only time that you need to push that button is if the car is being towed. When you push the button, it stops the alarm from going off when the car is moved.

There is no easy way to test the function without having some way to move the car as if it is being towed.
