Speedo issue
Hello all,
My speedometer is doing something odd, the digital readout doesn't match the analogue by about 10-15 mph, the digital appears to be correct - does anyone know how to reset the cluster before I take it to MB?

I don't think there is a speedometer reset and it most likely will need to be calibrated if that is even possible. You might need a warranty replacement.

I'm not the OP, but our GL63 had something similar a few years ago. It was a Canadian car and the dealer had to change something in STAR to fix it - do you know if you have a Canadian car? It was easy to tell on our GL since the temp dials are analog and are in C instead of F, but the w212 is digital so that doesn't help much. Before you take it in I'd try a full overnight battery disconnect (main and aux) just to rule out something easy.

@GinDistiller have you noticed any other odd electrical issues that could be linked to Instrument Cluster acting up??
It's an all soldered module that shares footwell GND and know to develop capacitors issues.
What's your mileage?

My Canadian market car had the incorrect gauge overlay left over from km. I had to purchase a converted one and remove cluster to swap it out.
