Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Owner's manual states on page 59 'press down rocker switch symbols: auxiliary front fog lamps on (if so equipped). green indicator lamp in instrument cluster comes on. green indicator lamp in instrument cluster does not come on! dealer service manager tells me he has not seen this light in any ml 320 or ml 430 equipped with front fog lights. i called customer assistance center mercedes-benz of north america inc. and was told i would never see this light, the owner's manual is in error. i feel this indicator light is as important as the blue headlamp high beam indicator light to remind the driver high beams are on, so as not to annoy oncoming drivers. the mercedes-benz auxiliary front fog lamps are bright! they are wonderful for driving on the narrow rural roads where i live in pennsylvania, but they will annoy oncoming drivers if left on.
