Resetting the maintenance service 
indicator 
In the event that the maintenance service 
on your vehicle is not carried out by an au-
thorized 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 main-
tenance-relevant information for your vehi-
cle. Such information is available either 
from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center 
or directly from Mercedes-Benz.
i
If the battery supplying the vehicle’s electri-
cal consumers is disconnected, the days of dis-
connection will not be included in the count 
shown by the maintenance service indicator. To 
arrive at the true maintenance service deadline, 
you will need to subtract these days from the 
days shown in the maintenance service indicator 
message or maintenance service indicator dis-
play. 
Do not confuse the maintenance service indica-
tor with the engine oil level indicator 
N.
!
If the maintenance service indicator was in-
advertently reset, have an authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center correct it.
Only reset if the proper maintenance service has 
been performed. Resetting the system without 
performing proper maintenance service as 
called for by the maintenance service indicator 
will result in engine damage and/or other vehicle 
damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz 
Limited Warranty.
