Brake alert indicator
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2026
Mercedes-Benz GLA 200 2017.
The brake light in picture 1 turns on the moment the key is inserted into the ignition switch (we are missing the stop-start button).
Before you see picture 2, turn on the ignition.
Turn the key to the "D" or "R" position until the light turns off, as shown in picture 3.
Even after removing the key, the engine will turn on again; however, after a short period of time or when the car is locked, it will turn off.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
We have been very careful with the brakes since we first got the car, but about 14,500 miles ago, we had to replace the front and rear brake pads.
