Those are two different indicators...the one you specified is the brake pad wear indicator...yellow only. Unless you take your car to the track on weekends, you have just under 2 months of pad life left under normal everyday use...MB gives you plenty of time to address the issue.

The indicator with the "B" in the center means brake failure. This one is RED!

Low brake pressure due to excess air in the lines (usually due to improper bleeding) will set this light off, as well as an unexpected mechanical brake failure. You'll already know you have a problem just before THIS light comes on!!!
