B2 Service and resetting
I have the B2 service reminder. My car has 51k miles and is performing flawlessly. I wanted to see what was on the service and was going to give a local inependent shop a try.
This is what I was able to find for B2 service.
I have already reeplaced the cabin air filter. I am curious why MB does not also recommend changing the intake air filter?
Can a shop reset the maintenance reminder witout needing a dealer code reader? Or can I do that?
As for spark plugs, whhile it is certainly a good idea, but I intend to wait till 70k.
Any constructive feedback is welcome.

"With the first visit at approximately 20,000 miles or 1 year after the previous service - and then approximately every 20,000 miles or 2 years after that - Service B includes:
· Mercedes-Benz motor oil replacement
· Oil filter replacement
· Fluid level checks and corrections
· Tire inflation check and correction
· Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
· Brake component inspection
· Brake fluid exchange
· Reset maintenance counter"

I haven't paid any attention to the types of service, like B, because I only want to reset all to make any messages go away. Basically I do it when I change the oil to reset the oil timer. And of course you can google Mercedes Service Reset.
Here are my notes on how to do it:
Close all doors, hood etc
Turn the ignition to position 1
Ensure Odometer is displayed
Press/hold phone button, then press/hold OK button within 1 second (I forget which phone button)
After ~5 seconds you get a new menu
I select ASSYST PLUS (I don't recall what other options there are)
From there I select FULL SERVICE (your B might be in there?)
I forget what appears after that but it's intuitive, like, "did you use xyz motor oil", "are you sure, this cannot be undone"
I suppose you could take better notes and/or pix to post here for the next guy/person
