What if you DIY maintenance?
If I change all my fluids/belts/filters myself, what do I do to get rid of the messages telling me to get the car serviced?

I guess if you had more than 20 posts, you'd know better.

Jim - on my '02, you go to the service interval indicator ("behind" the mileage indicator in the display), then push and hold the odo reset pin. It'll reset to the next indicated service. However, YMMV on newer models.

Damn, two posts today where I would have normally said RTFM. Must be the holidays.

Since I no longer own a MB, it kind of hard to RTFM . Unfortunately, I didn't commit every page of my old C240's manual to memory.
Thanks Tommy!
