The little coffee cup. I've seen it on pretty much every Benz made after '08

EDIT: so it's an asleepiness sensor

I think it's a symbol for telling you that it senses that your getting drowsy and you need to stop and take a coffee break.

No clue, best guess though, considering German logic: You've been driving for a certain amount. You should pull over and have a break?

It means your falling asleep, or driving like someone who is. If you see it it's basically saying pull over and get some coffee/sleep.

I think it tells you your drowsy or something along the lines and probably need to some sleep/shouldn't be driving . How it determines that I don't know.

It's the "Attention Assist" icon.

It's the anti-nodding off feature.

It's a drowsiness sensor , and Mercs have had them since at least 2008

Attention assist.

If you get drowsy, the car will pour you a hot cup of joe.

Its a system which detects your driving style every 15 or so minute, and if you have had a bunch if weird and sudden corrections and/or throttle responses and if it blinks its a signal that should rest a bit

Funny, on the C300's in our rental fleet, that coffee icon is, like, always on . I suppose our customers and some of our drivers are making "weird and sudden corrections and/or throttle responses". Makes sense to me.
