What's this?
Brought home a 2023 GLA250 this afternoon and found this under the rear trunk panel. It's about 6" long, made of black plastic, and appears to be some kind of gauge. On the back is a molded in "pocket clip" and a genuine M-B part number. What is this thing?

It's a brake pad thickness gauge. A very simple one though.

Didn't know that actually comes with the vehicle or did the dealership left it there and forgot to take it back? Thanks for the video.

It comes with the car. Mine was inside the vehicle brochure pouch.
