Exclamation 1998 slk 230 dashboard light flashing

New owner, don't have the owner's manual yet.
Today while driving I suddenly noticed when I turned on the car it beeped at me several times. I noticed where it usually has the mileage it had a little wrench and a number and it was flashing then it stopped and went back to the mileage. Also when I accelerated the big triangle lit up in the middle of the odometer for a couple seconds then went away.

Can anyone tell me what all that means?
Thanks.

hi first u r in the wrong forum. you want r170. this is 171, a different model year.

the wrench and number is how many miles until that service.

the big triangle is the esp control assuring you do not spin out. slow down. lol!
