[W126 Coupe] Universal dash symbols

[Mister McGoo]

Steve;
 
Many thanks.  I'll pass this on.  It has nothing to do with burning doughnuts in the parking lot.  She'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the replies.   I actually had not imagined that the mystery triangle warning light and the doughnut switch were related.  She had commented that the light came on momentarily when she turns into her driveway... accelerating slightly to get through a slippery mud puddle at the entrance.  This would explain the momentary light. The rocker switch on the console seems to have an upper and lower position... obviously both momentary contacts... I assume "on" and "off".  Is the ASR active always for normal driving and the rocker manually switched "on" only when starting from a standstill in poor traction conditions?   (I apology, I no longer have the car here so I'm speaking from memory.) In other words, what is the correct use of the console switch? This car is a '95 E320 Estate, which I gather is the last year of the W124. Thanks again /!\ -Bellamy  

MB recommends to use the switch when using snow chains. It could be argued that using it in very slippery conditions without chains is also appropriate. Here is the page from the Owner's Manual.
