Resetting the maintenance service
indicator
In the event that the maintenance service on
your vehicle is not carried out at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, you can have the
maintenance service indicator reset.
The automotive maintenance facility carrying
out the maintenance service will find the
information for resetting the maintenance
service indicator in the maintenance-relevant
literature for your vehicle.
Such literature is available from any author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center or directly from
Mercedes-Benz.
i
If the maintenance service indicator was
inadvertently reset, have an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center correct it.
Only reset if the proper maintenance serv-
ice has been performed. Resetting the sys-
tem without performing the proper mainte-
nance service as called for by the
maintenance service indicator will result in
engine damage and/or other vehicle dam-
age not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
