Re: On a 2005 C class a symbol of an engine coming up....
It is a check engine light.A loose gas cap or oxygen sensor failure are the most common fault.A scanner like the snap on MODIS or equivalent can give the code for the fault.

if your car has a standard transmission then the icon of the engine that has arrow pointing down might be an indicator that you need to down shift , as
the other symbol ive seen only once before it was on a Bmw and was a symbol for the valet mode , it down tunes the engine and inhibits all the luxury features (like radio) for just the valet to park your car , its possible these two icons are related
Hi, you will have to check your owners manual to verify the symbol and what it could mean.
See below, if it looks like that,(it sounds like a thermometer symbol to me) it could indicate engine overheating, so check all your fluid levels as well as any leaks for water, antifreeze, oil etc.
Also check that your radiator cap is sealing, it is under pressure when the engine is at temperature so it should seal tightly.
Treat any warning sign with caution, it is happening for a reason, and it could leave you stranded on the side of the road.
lost the operators manual, did you? it is there. and lots of good facts.
here they ALL are, for ALL cars.
the engine block means, just that the ENGINE SYSTEMS
see ERRORS,
that means to SCAN it. http://dashboardsymbols.com/the-symbols/
is normally the check engine light and can literally come on for millions of reasons if cars runs fine I would first check oil and antifreeze levels then if its still running fine dont worry about it in the shop we have people come in with lights on all the time and honestly most the time the light was never reset and there is not a problem.
If this is the arrow that appears in the figure of an engine block, it indicates a "reduced engine power" condition. This usually means there is a problem detected by the computer that causes it to limit engine RPM's to 2000. You need to have a mechanic scan for fault codes.
I would take it to your local Machanic to get scanned. This could be a headlight out, or a major problem with the truck. PS. try checking the headlights and common things, Make sure the gas cap is tight, 3 clicks, ive heard of that before.
The engine
shaped dash warning icon/symbol represents the "Check Engine Light", CEL for
short. It could be because of several things that can make the light come on. Perform a scan on the car and identify the error codes . Autozone can
scan the codes for free.
