We were able to confirm the concern while on a test drive with the customer. This light that is coming on is an emergency braking light and has to do with the front facing Laser/Radar. The light on the center of the dash is the programmed sensitivity of the radar. We pulled codes and found a C1A16- Radar blocked and a C10B7 which does not give us a description. Based on service data we have found that the ICC sensor is a common issue with these vehicles however we do not posses the systems to properly replace, reprogram, and align the new sensor. You can manually turn off the emergency braking system however it will turn back on with every key cycle. Once turned off the light on the ride side of the dash will stay illuminated indicating that the system is off.
