Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my SLK350?

If your SLK350 has its malfunction warning light (more commonly called the check engine light) illuminated, it could indicate engine troubles, problems with the transmission, electrical issues, malfunctioning sensors, connector problems, or misfire issues.

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.
