Service engine now LIGHT?

In the bottom portion of the cluster, where the mileage usually is, came up a light serive now! or service engine now. Is there a way to get that off with some sort of button combination?

Yep

Some are in the manual,but everyone that bought used doesn't always have it.Some are listed on diy articles,here and over on benzworld.org(a great list of tips tricks and diy articles).The ECU programing is a fun one to try,some cars really respond to the reset,like they have been sent back to school.Radio resets,disconnecting the battery without having to lift the rear seat,jump start posts under the hood,climate control diagnostics on board that if used can save you thousands of dollars at the hands of the dealer when they tell you the a'c is shot,and you run the simple tests and find it to be a faulty sensor.Keep digging these sites and you will see,these cars offer a wealth of info on how to maintain them if you only seek the info.
