Yellow circle light with exclamation stays on, suggestions?

since a few days the yellow circle with exclamation stays of my 09 C63, 23Kmls. Car drives fine. Next oil service is up in 60 days, could that be the reason? To be safe I will bring it in to the dealership next week but just curious to know what is going on in advance if possible.
Thanks

That's the Tire Pressure Sensor light

That light is telling you that the tire pressure in at least 1 tire is below where you have it set. Go give them all a check with a tire gauge.

your mom
Please don't take any offense OP, but I would highly recommend taking out some time - couPle hrs max - going thru the car manual. This applies to any and every car.

The first page will ALWAYS guide you through all the lights on the dash.

Again, please don't take any offense.

I said so, because my TPMS light came on at 4:30AM (yep) on way to work yesterday morning. And immediately unchecked tire pressures - on dash. One seemed abnormally low. Pulled over next exit. Filled air. Pressure back up. Light gone.

Not bragging here, but, My (basic) knowledge helped me figure out and fix a potential issue in the wee hrs of the morning.

Amen. To the OP, I don't give a damn if you feel offended by this, but it is your RESPOSIBILITY to at least know what the basic instruments or warning lights on the dash are for. Not for your own sake, but for the fact that you may endanger others on the road if you continue with your ignorance. If you're too stupid to operate a car, get yourself something simpler like a bicycle.

TO Diabolis, no offense taken my friend, you are either rather limited your self or just dealing with ignorant people, or if you do get pissed about little things too much go and see a doctor and get your self on some meds to keep your blood pressure down LOL.

MB Techman and USCGTO, it's the second picture, round light with exclamation sign. Tire pressure is fine on all tires so go figure.
ESP I

Sorry for the late reply, too busy this weekend and not even had time to toy around with my C63.

your mom
that second picture is basically abnormal (low) tire pressure. Maybe the TPMS is acting crazy.

Once you update the pressure on all tires. You need to switch off the car - restart and drive a couple miles for the TPMS to reset.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I am going to check that today.
