How to reset the maintenance light on a Mercedes GLK?
2 Answers
First, insert the vehicle key and start the car. Press the button on the right side of the dashboard, and the maintenance light will start blinking. Press the button on the left side of the dashboard repeatedly until the bottom line of the dashboard displays a negative number, then hold down the right button.
I just handled the maintenance light reset for a Mercedes GLK. It's not difficult, but you have to follow the steps. First, make sure the car is turned off, and the key is turned to the first position—that's when the dashboard lights up but the engine isn't started. Then, locate the small maintenance reset button on the left side of the steering wheel, hold it down for a few seconds until a prompt appears on the dashboard. Next, use the rotary switch on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to the reset option and confirm—that's it. Don’t underestimate this step; the maintenance light is there to remind you to change the oil and check the car regularly. If you forget to reset it, the light will keep flashing, potentially misleading you into missing the next maintenance, which could lead to serious trouble if the car breaks down later. I’ve seen GLK owners sharing experiences on forums—some messed up the steps, like pressing the button after starting the engine, and the light didn’t respond. Remember, maintenance is key to extending engine life. Always pay attention to dashboard warnings to avoid costly repairs later.
