I read the user manual, followed the instruction and just could not reset
back to 10000 milies.
Why MB makes this so hard to reset it.
E320 98, 75,000 miles. Should I go back to dealship?

A '98 E320 is a W210--perhaps ask in that forum

This is from a 2001 Owner's Manual; your vehicle may be different!

Flexible Service System (FSS) reset instructions:

Following a completed A or B service the Mercedes-Benz Center sets the counter mileage to 10,000 miles (Canada: 15,000 km) and 365 days.

The counter can also be set by any individual. To do so:

Turn the electronic key in steering lock to position 2.

To call up the trip odometer and main odometer, press button 3 or 4 on the multifunction steering wheel until the display appears.

Press button 5 or 6 until the FSS indicator appears.

Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster for approximately 2 seconds.

The multifunction display will show the question:

'DO YOU WANT TO RESET SERVICE INTERVAL? - CONFIRM BY PRESSING R'

Press button 'R' on the instrument cluster again, and hold until a signal sounds. The message 'SERVICE INTERVAL HAS BEEN RESET' appears in the multifunction display.

The new service indicator is displayed with the reset distance of 10,000 miles (Canada 15,000 km).

It is different from yours. Could it be over 75,000 mi?
Should I bring back to dealership for service A/B, or 30,000 mi service. I did reset it twice before. Somehow it does not work this time.

Do you have your door shut when you are trying it? On some models you have to make sure its closed.
