What is the method to reset the maintenance light on a Mercedes-Benz E260?

[MaggieMarie]

Solution to reset the maintenance light on a Mercedes-Benz E260: 1. First, close the engine hood. Open the engine hood to a vertical position, then close it again. Ensure all doors and the trunk lid are closed. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the first position. Use the up and down page buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate to the "Odometer" (i.e., display the total mileage) on the multifunction display. 2. Next, use the left and right page buttons to navigate to the "Trip" option, which will be displayed for 5 seconds. Press and hold the "Answer Call" button, then within 1 second, press and hold the "OK" button, and keep both pressed for 5 seconds. The multifunction display will show the workshop menu with options such as "Vehicle Data," "Roller Test," and "ASSYST PLUS." Select "ASSYST PLUS" and confirm by pressing the "OK" button. 3. Finally, the multifunction display will show options like "Service Data" and "Full Service." Confirm the relevant maintenance data.

For my Mercedes-Benz E260, I reset the maintenance light myself as soon as it comes on—it's both convenient and cost-effective. After parking and turning off the engine, turn the key to the first position without starting the engine. Then, use the multifunction steering wheel buttons to scroll down and locate the wrench icon, which is the maintenance menu. Press and hold the central confirmation button for about five seconds until you hear a beep or see the light go off. I've been driving this car for three years, and every time the light comes on after roughly 10,000 km of driving, I follow this procedure. The key is to ensure the vehicle is completely stationary with the doors closed, or the system may not respond. By the way, remember to regularly check the oil level and coolant—don’t wait for the light to come on before addressing these. If the light comes back on quickly, it might indicate another issue requiring professional inspection. Overall, mastering this trick makes life easier, saving trips to the repair shop every time.

Resetting the maintenance light on my Mercedes-Benz E260 is quite straightforward: Start the engine but don't drive, keep it stationary; use the control buttons on the steering wheel to toggle left and right until you find the 'Service' option; then press and hold the selection button until the screen shows a successful reset or the light goes off. The button design may vary slightly between different model years of the E260—for example, older models use up and down buttons directly, while newer models require touchscreen operation. I've checked the manual several times to confirm. As a tech enthusiast, I find this process quite interesting. Generally, you should reset it within a week after maintenance to prevent the reminder from becoming ineffective. Always pay attention to your vehicle's condition and schedule regular maintenance every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers. Resetting is just the beginning; developing good driving habits is more important.

Resetting the maintenance light on my Mercedes-Benz E260 is quite simple. Park the car securely, turn the key to the first position without starting the engine; there are buttons on the steering wheel side, press down until you see the maintenance reminder; hold the confirmation button for a few seconds, and the light will disappear. I'm getting older and my memory isn't what it used to be, but I remember this clearly. Safety first—check that the doors are closed before operating to avoid distractions. Usually, the light goes off after resetting, but if it comes back on after a few days, there might be a system error or incomplete maintenance. I suggest older car owners keep the user manual handy and call the 4S dealership for advice if unsure—it won't cost much. Pay attention to mileage during daily driving and get a check-up every six months to prevent potential issues.
