How to Reset Mercedes Benz Service

To reset the service indicator on a Mercedes-Benz after completing a maintenance task, follow these detailed steps. The procedure varies slightly by model and year, but the general process is outlined below.

1. Turn on the Ignition

• Mercedes Benz Service Reset: Ensure the vehicle is in Park and the parking brake is engaged.
• Press the Start/Stop button once (or turn the key) to turn on the ignition without starting the engine. The dashboard lights should be on.

2. Access the Service Menu

• Use the buttons on the steering wheel to navigate. Depending on the model, these buttons are usually located on the left side of the steering wheel.
• Press the “Home” or “Menu” button to access the main menu on the instrument cluster.
• Scroll through the menu using the arrow keys to find “Service” or “Assyst Plus”.

3. Enter the Service Menu

• Once you locate the service or vehicle maintenance menu, press “OK” to select it.
• Look for “Full Service” or “Service Data”. Select it to view options related to resetting the service indicator.

4. Select the Service Reset Option

• Highlight “Confirm Full Service” and press “OK”.
• If there are multiple service options (e.g., different types of service like A or B), choose the one that was performed.

5. Confirm the Reset

• When prompted with a message like “Do you want to reset the service?”, select “Yes”.
• Press and hold “OK” for a few seconds until the system confirms with a message such as “Full Service Carried Out” or “Service Reset Successful”.

6. Verify the Reset

• Exit the menu and turn off the ignition.
• Turn the ignition back on to ensure the service indicator has been reset and no warnings appear.

Tips and Notes

• Multi-Function Display: On newer models with an advanced infotainment system, some settings may need to be accessed through the central display. Navigate to “Settings” -> “Vehicle” -> “Service” to find the service reset option.
• Different Models: Older models might require holding down the “Trip Reset” button while turning on the ignition to access the service menu.
• Caution: Make sure you only reset the service indicator after completing the required maintenance, as prematurely resetting it can cause confusion about future service intervals.

If these steps do not apply to your specific model or the reset fails, refer to your vehicle’s owner manual or consult a certified Mercedes-Benz technician.
