You need to get it scanned so you know what code was tripped.

Some of the big box parts houses will do this for you no charge or a basic OBDII scanner can be purchased for ~$50-100 USD. It plugs in under the dash above the drivers left knee.

Hi Its analert to a engine management problem.You will need a good scan of all the systems ,the veh may have gone into a lime home mode,could be caused by trans to engine can problem ect,thats why a general code reader may not be good enough to pin point the problem.Joeym

Go to any garage that has an OBD II scantool.
I bought mine at Canadian Tire ( They sometimes have them on sale for $ 149.00 CDN ).
This tool can read most " Basic " emissions-related problems.
If the light is triggered for any other reason, ( transmission related problems, etc. ) ONLY an M-B dealer can retrieve and interpret them.
