I called my dealer and he was no help (surprise!).. but I did my 1000-3000 mile service last week at 2600 miles, and today while driving off my car ticked over to 2901 miles and BANG! the service reminder came on... then again and again every time I started the car.

Is there a way to reset this without going back to the dealer? And should I be worried that they missed this step?

Thanks

Go to the Index in the back of your manual and look under Resetting Service Indicator. It starts on page 300 in the US manual for my 2004 E320. My car has the FSS system but yours must have something similar.

I looked it up on page 345 of the manual and it just says that the info is in the pertinent section of the MB service manual. No end user info in there that I could see. Just how to add service reminders. But thanks anyway.

Here's what my manual says...
In the event that a service on your vehicle is not carried out by an Authorized Mercedes-Benz Center, you can reset the service indicator yourself.

• Switch the ignition on
• The standard display of the control system appears
• Press the up or down arrows on the steering wheel until the FSS PLUS indicator appears in the multifunction display.
• Press the reset button for about five seconds.

The Service Menu appears in the multifunction display.

• Select the Confirmation menu with the plus or minus buttons.
• Press a Menu button

The service indicator now displays the confirmation menu.
The selection marker is on Full service.

• Press a Menu button

The words service confirmed appears in the multifunction display.
The Service indicator is reset.

• Press a Menu button on the steering wheel until the standard display appears.

FSS PLUS now recalculates the values. You cannot call up the service display or the service menu during this time.

I'm coming along. Looks like we'll have to stay home during the Monsoon season this year. I'm still thinking of getting a Power Mac but not until Christmas. I'll give my wife my big Dell. I have some issues but Tiger fixes most of them.

Well, let me know when you get that Mac, I'll be glad to help in any way.

As for the service reminder, well I had partial success... I was able to follow your directions exactly but when I reset the confirm menu, I actually reset my 13000 mile reminder, and the 3000 mile reminder remained

I think, I'll just take it down to Schumacher to do it right, like they should have done the first time!

Try this link. It may help as I had some problem a few months ago when taking my W211 to an ind. Mercedes tech. It was very hard to reset but this link should help.

Hi Phoenix guys. Thought I would pop into your conversation and say hello. Look for me on the roads in my E55... my license plate says OBSE55D.
