Rear View Mirror Amber Light always on?

I've had my S550 (2013) for a year now and I just noticed that the Amber LED on the right side (under) the Rear view mirror is always on.

I didn't know if this was normal.

It goes off after the car is turned off (a few seconds after the door is closed).

The light stays on while the engine is running.

Can someone confirm is this is by design (normal)?

Thank You.

thanks!

Phew! That makes me feel better. For a second, I thought I would actually have to read the manual! lol..

This coming from the guy that didn't realize his last car did the automatic parallel parking until after he got rid of it! haha..

Percy; same experience on my previous car. Definitely spend a little time checking out your list of installed options and review the manual. I also found out a few things about my E350 after I traded it in LOL!

Just noticed that I have a small faint amber light that does not go off even after the lights do. Super dull hard to see really but if it's very dark (in my garage night) you can see a very light glow coming from behind the mirror where it attaches to the windshield. There is a push button that you can push and it goes even lower but won't go off. Not sure what that is for? Anyone? The car is a 2001 C4
