Reset Service Reminder 2016 C300 4MATIC
I have tried the suggested steps shown on a number of sites to reset my service reminder on my 2016 C300. The ones I have used (unsuccessfully) are:
1. Turn the ignition to position 1 (one position before starting the engine).
2. Press the system selection button (house icon located on the left of the steering wheel) repeatedly until the menu item TRIP is highlighted in the multi-function display. Within 5 seconds, press the OK button.
3. Press and hold phone button and then within 1 second press and hold down the OK button. Hold for 5 seconds then the workshop menu will be displayed "Vehicle data, Dynamometer Test, Change Brake Lining, ASSYST PLUS and Head-up Display".
4. Press the DOWN arrow repeatedly until ASSYST PLUS is highlighted and confirm with the OK button.
5. Press the DOWN arrow to highlight FULL SERVICE and confirm with the OK button.
6. Press the DOWN arrow repeatedly until CONFIRM SERV is highlighted and confirm with the OK button.
7. Specifiy engine oil used with the UP arrow and confirm with the OK button.
8. Press the DOWN arrow repeatedly until YES is highlighted and confirm with the OK button.
9. Press the DOWN arrow repeatedly until CONFIRM is highlighted and confirm with the OK button. "Full service completed" appears in the multi-function display.
10. Press the BACK (curved left arrow) button repeatedly until the standard display (total distance) appears in the display.
11. Turn the ignition off and then start the engine to verify the indicator has been reset.
What happens when I do it it nothing. I complete step 3 but it never goes to the workshop menu. Weird.
Anyone have a better way before I head to the dealer?

Yes, I have tried both pressing the answer and end buttons simultaneously with the OK button on the left and also with just the answer button as described in several posts, though as the verbiage is the same, it would seem most are just pasted in from other sites. For whatever reason, I cannot get it to move to the workshop menus. I don't hate my dealer, just thought it would be fun to do it myself.
