1 Answers
To reset the mileage on a Mercedes-Benz C-Class dashboard, follow these steps with the door closed: Insert the key and turn it to the right once without starting the engine. Hold down the answer call button on the steering wheel, then press the up or down button along with the OK button. You will see an option on the dashboard screen prompting whether to reset the mileage, but it is recommended not to proceed. Mercedes-Benz C200L Odometer: The Mercedes-Benz C200L odometer is divided into total mileage and single-trip mileage. The single-trip mileage can be manually reset by accessing the "Trip" option in the vehicle's computer system. Single-trip mileage can be used to record the distance traveled from point A to point B, assist in calculating fuel consumption, and determine a new maintenance cycle. The total mileage represents the cumulative distance the vehicle has traveled. Mileage Tampering: There are instances of mileage tampering in vehicles. One common scenario involves private car owners and used car dealers who intend to sell their vehicles, often halving the odometer reading. Some 4S dealerships may reset the odometer of demo or display vehicles and sell them as new. Another scenario involves private owners of new cars who repeatedly adjust the mileage within the free maintenance period to extend their eligibility for free services. The third scenario involves company vehicle drivers who manipulate the odometer to calculate wages, periodically rolling back the mileage to cash in on the adjusted figures.
