A brake warning light typically appears as a circular symbol with an exclamation mark inside a triangle or a circle, often accompanied by the word "BRAKE" or an icon depicting a brake system. The light is usually red or yellow, indicating a potential issue with the braking system or that the parking brake is engaged. If illuminated, it’s important to check the brake fluid level and ensure the parking brake is fully released, and to consult a mechanic if the light persists.

there are a bunch of lights all over the dash on a '86 SL. Does this light come on near the fuel gauge? Is it an oxygen sensor light? Does this light come on the bottom of the instrument cluster? Is this light RED? There are several warning lights on the bottom row...emergency brake light, brake wear warning light, brake fluid reservoir warning light,ABS warning light....? You really need to be more specific as to the location and appearance of this light. If you have your owner's manual handy, take a look at that. If you don't have one, I suggest you order one from MB. They come in very handy.
Different brands and models of cars have different warning light shapes. On many the ABS light is red and says ABS in the middle of it.
