It’s not! I turned off/ on the parking brake multiple times with the button! I drove the car! There is a red “BRAKE” light that comes on when the parking brake is on! And the car doesn’t move!

Does anyone know what the P stands for next to the 75F, it comes on when I drive and its blue inside a square? (not shown in the OP picture, but its on in my car)

Also in reference to the OP, what does the 84F stand for? Engine temp?


Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

That light goes on when you’re traveling slowly. It’s the parking assistant looking for a parking spot. When you see a white arrow to the left or right it means it has found a parking spot, and it’s ready to parallel park itself

Hit ok when that that happens and it will start up parking assist. Follow the instructions on dash. The lower temp is the tranny fluid.

OP, maybe you or the last owner drove it with the parking brake some how on? Turned it on when moving slowly?

Check rear pad wear and the parking pawl.

I’ve had the car since it was brand new! And no I’ve never touched the parking brake button until last night that it didn’t go off when in reverse so I had to turn it off! I just dropped off the car at the dealership! We’ll see what they say! I’ll report back! Thank you guys!

Does the temp of the oil and tranny need to be at a certain temperature before engaging in Sports+ ?

Just wanted to say thank you for explaining these things to me. Unfortuantely one or two clowns think its fun to laugh at someone who doesnt know much about cars, but is trying to learn.

I appreciatre the help, not just you, but others on here have been very helpful.

No problem, I have plenty of questions myself.

I always let both my oil and tranny temps reach "safe" temperatures which is shown when the text turns from blue to white. That's usually around 70*C and 50*C respectively. I even do that for just Sport mode not just Sport+.

If you are leasing the car then who really cares. Just don't put it in Sport+ when everything is ice cold.

Thanks for that. Im planning on keeping the car for a very very long time, so hence why Im babying it for the first 1500km.

The break in period actually tells you drive only in comfort mode for the first 1500km and not to go beyond 4500 RPM and I think 130Km/hr.

I actually wish I had a demo car, I really need to test how fast this car is lol.

Thanks.


Without wanting to start a war, lol.

I assume the C43 is an AMG car worldwide?

I know in Australia it is.

So picked up my car today and the dealer said to not worry about it and drive the car and see if it happens again. So I guess it wasn’t a big deal! The light went away after restarting the car by the way and there weren’t any codes! Thanks guys!

He is clowning. But to answer your question yes, the c43 is an entry level amg more suitable for everyday driving compared to the c63 or c63s that’s more track focused! Also more suitable for people that live in areas that snows a lot since it’s an all wheel drive!

I get a warning light that my rear seat belts are not being used even though there is no one in my back seat. It only lasts for about 30s, but its there. Not sure what to do happens invariably whenever I start the car.

Coupes and Cabs are built in Germany

Thanks I sent an email to the dealership, also mentioned I am keen to buy a family member a car so maybe the incentive may get them to hand one over.

For what it is, they are bloody expensive? I think a OEM is like $150 Aussie dollars.
