To turn off the service message on a Mercedes B-Class, you can reset it through the vehicle's instrument cluster using the steering wheel controls. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Turn on the ignition but do not start the engine. Ensure that the dashboard lights are on.
-
Use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the "Mileage" screen on the instrument cluster. This is usually the screen that shows the odometer reading.
-
Press and hold the "Call" button (the one with a phone icon) and the "OK" button on the steering wheel simultaneously. Hold these buttons for about 5-10 seconds.
-
The "Service Menu" should appear on the instrument cluster. Once it appears, scroll down to the "Assyst Plus" option using the steering wheel arrows and press "OK."
-
In the Assyst Plus menu, select "Full Service" or "Service Data" and confirm by pressing "OK."
-
Choose the "Confirm Full Service" option and press "OK" again. You might need to confirm the type of oil used during the service if prompted.
-
Finally, confirm the reset by selecting "Yes" and pressing "OK." The service message should now be cleared.
This procedure may vary slightly depending on the model year of your B-Class, so if these steps don’t match exactly, consult your vehicle’s manual for specifics. Resetting the service message is straightforward, but make sure the actual service has been completed before doing so to maintain proper vehicle maintenance records.
If you’re comfortable with DIY maintenance, using a repair manual can help guide you through not only resetting service messages but also performing the service itself, allowing you to save money and ensure the job is done right.
