Have you seen "Service 0 in 0 miles" before?
The vehicle in question is a 2015 ML250 Bluetec. I bought as a CPO(executive demo) last August with 8200 miles and after 19 months in service. The vehicle was fully serviced by the dealer before I took delivery, but since I have not seen a service reminder message after nearly a year/9000 miles, I started to poke around. I found the above message ("Service 0 in 0 miles") in the Serv menu. When I subsequently tried to reset the service reminder, I got a "Full Service Cannot be Carried Out" message. What even stranger is that, when I was in the vehicle data menu after trying to reset the service schedule, it shows me "AdBlue Level is FULL," which could not be correct after driving 9000 miles. I wonder if this is a hack to the vehicle system which would disable the service reminder and allow a BLUETEC to be driven without Adblue, or this is a malfunction? I will fill the AdBlue tank for sure, but don't want to get stranded if one day the car wakes up and decides that the AdBlue tank has been empty after so many miles/starts.

You should get a warning message on the driver cluster every time you start the car to remind you about this service. If it is not showing ask the dealer to check it out.

However, I still see "AdBlue" is full, which is not accurate. I have only added 2.5 gallons a couple of weeks ago after realizing that service reminder does not work.
