I've just done a oil change etc & I can't get the Service Indicator to reset. It's the 3rd one I've done on this car and had no problems previously.
The manual states -
  • Switch the car on - I've tried engine running & without
  • Scroll to the Service Spanner - mine says 5 days remaining
  • Press the reset button for approx. 4 seconds
  • Message comes up asking to comfirm
When the Service Remaining bit is showing, I press the reset button but nothing happens.
I had the same issue last year on my mates facelift W203, just repeatedly trying & it eventually reset.
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks for any advice ;)
 
All done, procedure I followed -
  • Switch the ignition to position 2
  • Scroll to the Service Spanner - mine says 5 days remaining
  • Press the reset button for approx. 4 seconds
  • Message comes up asking to confirm
I'm gathering it was the first bit, the ignition bit where I was goin wrong.:doh:
Hope this helps others in the future :thumb:
