How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Mercedes-Benz C200?
2 Answers
Use an automotive computer diagnostic tool to perform the maintenance light reset. Locate the "A" button, press and hold the reset button "A", while simultaneously stepping on the brake pedal. Turn the ignition switch to the "on" position, but do not start the engine. Wait for the characters "INSP" to flash or the display to blink. Continue holding down the reset button "A" until "..." appears on the display. Release the reset button "A" and take your foot off the brake pedal. Turn the ignition switch back to the "Off" position. The reset process is now complete. Navigate to the settings menu, select the vehicle menu, choose oil life, and reset it.
Resetting the maintenance light on a Mercedes C200 is something I often do myself, and it's just a few simple steps. First, sit in the driver's seat without starting the engine, just turn the key to the second position where the dashboard lights up fully. Then, use the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate the central display. Slowly scroll right through the menu until you find the option labeled 'Service' or 'Assist Plus.' After selecting it, you'll see the option to reset the maintenance information—just press the confirm button. Once done, the light will turn off. I recommend staying focused during the process to avoid accidentally selecting the wrong menu, as a misclick might prevent the reset. Remember, resetting the maintenance light doesn’t mean everything’s fine—it’s just a reminder tool. What really matters is regularly checking the oil, filters, and other components to keep the car running smoothly. If the light stays on after multiple resets, it could be a system issue, and you should have a professional take a look.
