meaning of a sign in instrument cluster(tacho)

w211 cdi engine for europe

On instrument cluster (tacho,kombi instrument etc) where is placed clock(left side) we got:

preglow indicator
check engine
run flat indicator
handbrake sign

but when car is turned off it is visible another sign and it is not mentiond on owners manual or nowhere else but in the sunlight you can easly see.

on the picture below I've marked the postion of that sign.so what is it?



Ok,i know this is stupid but it looks like something like this

Take a picture and post it. I doubt anyone knows what you drew up or is your gas tank empty and the gas pump sign is on?

Do you have a S211 perhaps? Maybe it has to do with the loading floor or the gate being open?
