Could it have been ETS and BAS? If so, these are part of the Antilock Brake System (ABS). If they come on while driving momentarily it means one or more wheels has lost traction. If they stay on it means the systems have a problem and they are partially shut off. Generally, you need to see the dealer or competent independent MB mechanic since the car may be unsafe to drive.
