I was wondering how to get rid of the serivce light on the dash. Do you have to go to the dealer to take it off?

i went to a local mechanic who had the benz computer. Hooked it up and took it off. From my understanding the only other way is to go to the dealership.

No, that's incorrect.
You can do it from the drivers seat without any computers and the need for a dealership.

Steps should be as follows:
Key in position 1,
Hit call pickup button and OK button for roughly 5 seconds
You'll get a menu; from which you can do various things - dyno mode, reset services, etc.

I don't have the message anymore, but i just tried what you said for 5 minutes in position 1 and while car is started and nothing on the screen appeared.

If anyone would like the factory Flexible Service System (FSS) reset procedure.
Send me a PM with your email address, and I will email it to you.
So that you can have the procedures for future reference.

yeah well that doesn't always work! I actually just took my car in, and they forgot to reset it, I live an hour away and don't feel like driving back, so finding this thread with DIY details was great.

On my wife's 2009 USA model C300 Sport, holding the phone answer button and the ok button only makes the horn honk after a second's delay or so...

Perhaps I was just missing a step.. however it seemed to work each and every time I attempted at getting into the menu..

Quite possibly being that it's a Canadian spec'd car, might have something to do with it..

The PDF above has the service reset instructions and it works fine on my 2010 C63. Make sure you are following the instructions exactly and understand what they mean as in Key in position 1 etc. I was having the horn honking as well until I figured out I was pushing the answer phone button and the mute button instead of the answer phone button and OK button. Think you are missing a step or doing something wrong.
