Odometer reading 999999 km

I changed the batteries in my key/remote and since then the odometer is reading 999999 km for the total km reading. It does not roll over to 0. The trip meter works fine and records the distane travekled correctly. Km to next service does not decrease either. Any suggestions please.

THE C350
the only time i have heard of a problem like this was when someone put a instrument cluster in and it screwed up the odometer. i don't believe that by changing the batteries in the key this happened. something else happened either you were messing with something or a computer is screwed up.

Usually this happens if you swapped the cluster without coding or tampered with something.

Contact Benz - Tell them you have this excellent car that's about to clock up a million Kms. Ask them whether they would like it for their museum as an exhibit/example of longevity.

Tell them you will accept an SL63 Black Series as an exchange - LOL
