Service Warning on dash

[MercedesBent]

Have had car (W202 1998 2L sport) serviced a while ago at local independant garage.

Recently the service warning indicator (the count down to days left/past until srervice due) pings when I switch on.

Know you can cancel it by pressing one of the buttons on the display consul (the minus IIRC), but how can I clear it from the computer so it doesn't ping every time I switch on?

Thanks

Active Service System (ASSYST) Operating Notes (from that other forum!)

Displaying remaining distance, remaining time or service exceeded when vehicle stationary or when driving on driver request:

Wake-up instrument cluster.

Start switch in position "2" or driving.

Operate reset button for trip counter twice within 1 s : the current remaining distance, the current remaining time or the current service exceeded appears.

Resetting ASSYST after oil change (oil change reset) at instrument cluster:
Move start switch into position "2".

Within the first 4 s after moving start switch into position "2": press reset button for trip counter twice within one second. The display for the service request is thus activated for 10 s .

Within these 10 s move start switch into position "0". The service request continues to be displayed.

Press reset button for trip counter and hold pressed.

Move start switch into position "2".

Continue to hold reset button for trip counter pressed (about 10 s ) until the signal sounds and the new start distance appears in the display.

(Caution: This may be for US models! Also of course it also switches off your Warranty!)

Worked on my Brit MB (after 3 attempts and then reading the instructions properly )

No annoying beep now every time car starts in morning
