Service term exceeded
If you have exceeded the suggested
service term:
the9 or´ appears in the
display2 for 30 seconds and a signal
sounds after switching on the ignition.
it is preceded by a “-” (minus symbol)
The Mercedes-Benz Center will reset the
service indicator following a completed
service.
Calling up the service indicator
Within one second press knob1
(page 190) twice.
The service symbol and the service
deadline appear in the display2.
Resetting the service indicator
In the event that the service on your vehi-
cle is not carried out by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, you can reset the
service indicator yourself.
Switch ignition on (key in steering lock
position 2) and immediately press
knob1 (
page 190) twice within
1 second.
The present status for days or distance
is displayed.
Within ten seconds turn key in steering
lock to position0.
Press and hold knob1 while turning
key in steering lock to position2 again.
The present status for days and dis-
tance is displayed once more.
Continue to hold knob1 until you
hear a signal.
Release knob1.
The service indicator now displays the
reset interval.
iIf the service indicator was inadvertent-
ly reset, have a Mercedes-Benz Center
correct it.
Only reset if the proper service has
been performed. Resetting the system
without performing proper service as
called for by the FSS will cause the FSS
to incorrectly determine the next ser-
vice interval which will result in engine
damage not covered by the Mer-
cedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
If the battery is disconnected, the days
of disconnection will not be included in
the count shown by the service indica-
tor. To arrive at the true service dead-
line, you will need to subtract these
days from the days shown in the ser-
vice indicator.
Do not confuse the service indicator
with the engine oil level indicator:.
