Brake lights won't turn off
Last night when I turned the ignition on I've got an error message "Mailfunction See Owner's Manual". (The manual says visit workshop).
The problem was that my brake lights (all 3) won't turn off. As soon as I turn on the ignition they lights up.
Anyone else had this problem?

Dealer next I'm afraid.
When I turned on the ignition just now I received a new error message. This time it was the handbrake:
"Parking brake see owners manual". An orange warning light and blinking red light along with the message. The automatic brake is malfunctioning.
I guess my car has some gremlins..

The car have been at the dealers place for 2 days now. They have not been able to locate what's causing the malfunctions.
They have sent a request to MB in Germany. No answer/solution from MB yet.

They finally managed to locate the reason for the malfunctions.
It turned out to be a loose connector attached to the ABS unit in the engine bay. Verdigris caused by moisture caused the brake lights and parking brake to malfunction.
MB want to exchange both the cable harness and the ABS unit so now I've to wait a couple of weeks for parts from Germany and to get the job done.
