Resetting the service indicator

In the event that the service on your vehi-

The standard display of the control sys-
tem appears ( page 110).
Press button k or j on the
steering wheel until the service symbol
9 or ´ appears in the speedom-
eter display and the service deadline in
the tachometer.
Press the reset knob for about four
seconds.
This message appears in the tachome-
ter:

interval?

i
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 supplying the vehicle's
electrical consumers is disconnected,
the days of disconnection will not be in-
cluded in the count shown by the ser-
vice indicator. To arrive at the true
service deadline, you will need to sub-
tract these days from the days shown
in the service indicator.
Do not confuse the service indicator
with the engine oil level indicator : .
