RESETTING SERVICE INTERVAL ON '21 GLC 63

When I buy a used car I like to give it a full service so I know where I am starting from, especially if there are no actual service records. I recently bought a '21 GLC 63 Coupe with 17K miles. I just got done doing a service and I want to reset the service indicator. I think I know the procedure, but there is a 'service overdue' message that I can't get past to get to the final screen that will allow the reset. Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly. Here's the screen sequence I get. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

Get yourself a good scanner if you are going to do your own servicing, it will pay for itself in no time. That way you can reset it all easily.

Boy, I with there was some website where I could search for information and even videos of processes for things. When Al Gore invented the internet he should have added that type of function.....(it is 8am EST and already my staff are asking STUUUUUUPID questions)......

I have a factory McLaren MDS for the McLaren, an SD3 for Ferrari and a Launch 741 system for the other cars (including the GLC 63). Launch didn't work on this car for reset.

You’d think that the launch would do it. I wonder if the previous owner had the same issue with it being so far overdue.

Well, it took a little creativity with Launch. Tried several ways and finally one worked!

I didn't have any luck with resetting it using the buttons in the car. I purchased a King Bolen scanner that works with my phone to reset the service interval. When I used the manual method, the service interval went into negative numbers. The good thing is that the King Bolen scanner is not expensive (I paid $70) and has a lifetime of free updates and it works well on the Mercedes...Plus it's two-way communication.
