How do I reset the Service A (FLEX SERVICE) Warning?
I had my car serviced at MB - but for whatever reason, the tech forgot to reset the service indicator..... it says I need my service A in 700 miles.

How do I reset this myself? I did not want to go to the dealer (45 minute drive) for a 2 minute operation, then drive back home.........

Thanks!
Appreciate the help.

Bradley

I think they (the dealership) can only do it (reset your computer) through their computers (Star-Diagnostics). Sucks that you have to drive that far... Good Luck!

I think what made his day was the fact that the owners manual lived up to its name. I'm not harassing you Chucky, simply contributing to the thread .

A sure way to keep the DIY guys from servicing their own.
