Can any one identify what this symbol means/represent?

It only appears when you open the drivers door after you finish driving, turning off the ignition and arming the car. Once the display goes off and you disarm the car and open the drivers door it appears in the display for about 5 seconds and that's it.

I went to MB of Pembroke Pines, Fl and they do not know what this symbol means and are stunted believe it or not!!

Were there any codes thrown along with this alert? Personally I've never seen this before, and the manual has no mention of it. Is the radiator fan running normally?

I've never see that either. My thoughts is that it's not a normal message for US cars and there is a coding error in the cluster.

The only thing I could find was in the C117 manual. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...UB91YQ&cad=rja

On page 253 it describes it as "There is too little fuel in the fuel tank. The auxiliary heating cannot be switch on (page 136). Refuel at nearest filling station."
There's more information on what auxiliary heating is on page 136. I've never seen this problem on a w211 before though.

im pretty sure that symbol is for the auxiliary heater that runs on fuel(webasto). And as that manual says, the car is not letting it to start as the fuel level is low. Its a "safety" thing so it doesnt burn all the gas and then you would not be able to start.
