my dash warning shows active body control drive carefully.

what does this mean, thank you.

 

This means that A. Either you are running low on hydrolic fluid and the car is running low. It can also occur if you turn the ignition to fast. Next time turn the key to the position just before the start. then wait two secs and turn the engine.Have you noticed a lead from under the car?has it started smoking? if soi would take it to a normal mechanich tell them totake off the bottom cover. then clean off thebottom and start the engine. push thelift button on your suspension.Afterthat look for any leak. I had a leak on mine and a 50cent seal fixed it. the dealer said1200 for fixing theblock.

 

i did notice a hydrolic leak right under where the transmition is, the smell was hydrolic for sure,

 

Good to hear Mercedes dealers are as honest as ever, and still trying to rip people off big time!

 

clean off the under side and look for the leak should come from the passanger side little 4 inch block that has hydraulik lines going to it. it has a sensor take the sensor off and look for a broken seal. change the seal and there you go. i have a hard time believing that it comes from any line. as they should have been replaced under the recall
