What is this symbol
2022 GLC 300. I have looked in the manual and other sources and tried to find out what this symbol is.
I took the photo at a stoplight, engine running, in "Drive"
Foot off the brake, accelerate and it disappears. Can someone help me out.

Just ignore the P light like me, it's always on and off, and I never use the automatic parking.
Or, turn off the button, marked
"P ))) Off", around head light control switch in my 2017 glc300, but buttons are different at model years.

I don't think that will affect the blue P icon, which is speed-related, below 30kph I believe.
It's always on, like cross traffic alert or auto High Beam.

I'm pretty sure that button only turns the Parking Sensors off, which is useful if they get covered with ice or dirt, causing them to go off incessantly without that switch.

Brake hold feature is ready, and the "P", is your parking brake symbol. After you stop and the "P" pops up, push the pedal harder and the word "HOLD" will appear. Then you can take your foot off the brake, and the car will stay put. Gas pedal, and your off again.

Traded in a 2021 GLB 250 and I don't remember ever seeing that symbol on that cluster.
Learning as I go.
Just like the km/hr in the upper left of the cluster. Can't change it to MPH, it's just there. Absolutely no use to me.

Again, the Blue P symbol is
PARKTRONIC® with Active Parking Assist.
Not push hold brake feature.

Yes this symbol is nothing to do with the 'hold' feature.
It appears below a certain speed and signifies that the car is actively searching for parking spaces as you move along.

The blue P is strictly for the Self Parking function. It lights up at parking speeds.
