How to reset service lights

Move start switch into position "2"
Withing the first 4 seconds after moving start switch into position "2", press the reset button for trip counter twice within one second.

The display for the service request is thus activated for 10 seconds

Within these 10 seconds move start switch into position "O". The service request continues to be displayed

Press reset button for trip counter and hold pressed

Move start switch into position "2"

Continue to hold reset button for trip counter (about 10 seconds) until the signal sounds and the new start distance appears in the display.

I hope this helps, it does work.

I read here once that the '05 have a different way of doing it. Try doing a search if no one can come up with a reply.

Just for your 411: This info IS in your manual, if you still have it.
