LED's in W211 Arm rest

Hi all, I'm new to MBWorld so apologies if this seems a bit dumb.

What are the LED's in the bottom section of the front armrest compartment for. What do they indicate? Seem to be either red or amber.

Can't find any reference to them in the hand book.

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

They indicate when it's time to change your blinker fluid. I prefer Motul products myself.

On a US spec car with Teleaid (now MBrace), the wrench button connects you with MB Roadside Assistance.

In the center console of my 2007, there is a Wrench button a I button and an SOS button. I think they all dial out to the same place, but indicate priority of answering your cars call to MBrace/TeleAid, since you get the same voicemail menu when the call connects.
