What does the coffee cup mean on Mercedes Benz dashboard?

The coffee cup symbol on a Mercedes-Benz dashboard doesn't actually represent coffee. It's a symbol for the "Parking Brake" or "Handbrake".

The symbol is a stylized cup, but it's designed to look like a parking brake lever, which is often referred to as a "handbrake" or "parking brake".

If the symbol is illuminated, it means your parking brake is engaged. You should disengage it before driving.

Here are some reasons why the symbol might be illuminated:

* The parking brake is engaged: This is the most common reason.

* The parking brake is partially engaged: The system may detect that the brake is not fully disengaged.

* There's a fault with the parking brake system: A malfunction could trigger the warning light.

If the symbol stays illuminated even after you release the parking brake, it's best to consult your owner's manual or take your Mercedes-Benz to a qualified technician for diagnosis and repair.
