I think that is wrong. I believe this indicates your car is communicating with MB services to support Mercedes ME functionality.
when tethering is active the phone signal bar shows yellow two way arrows.
And I think you are right. Tethering is not active until I do not start using an app or browser. That icon is now on from when I do start my car.
Also now that you mentioned it, it first shown after I opened my car via mercedes.me app for the first time.
Is there a way to take it off or it is going to be there forever?
No way to remove other than turn off Mercedes me functions at your dealer.
