250 OperationMaintenanceThe Mercedes-Benz Center will reset the
service indicator following a completed
service.Calling up the service indicator
Switch ignition on.
The standard display of the control sys-
tem appears (
page 109).

Press button k or j on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel until the FSS
indicator appears in the multifunction
display.
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 on ignition.
The standard display of the control sys-
tem appears (
page 109).

Press button k or j on the mul-
tifunction steering wheel until the FSS
indicator appears in the multifunction
display.

Press the reset button for about
four seconds.
This message appears in the multifunc-
tion display:SERVICE INTERVAL? RESET WITH R
BUTTON FOR 3 SEC.

To confirm, hold down the reset button
for about four seconds.
The service indicator now displays the
reset interval.
iIf 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 :.
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 the proper service
as called for by the FSS will cause the
FSS to incorrectly determine the next
service interval which will result in en-
gine damage not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
