Method to reset the maintenance light on a Mercedes-Benz E300: 1. Power on the car and press the toggle button on the steering wheel to switch the dashboard to the trip panel. 2. Press the return button on the steering wheel, then press the confirm button before the navigation bar appears to reset the maintenance light. The Mercedes-Benz E is a mid-to-large luxury sedan under the Mercedes-Benz brand, with dimensions of 4947 mm in length, 1860 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2939 mm. The dark gray interior gives a youthful feel, paired with brown seats for a high-end touch. The focal point on the dashboard is the large GPS navigation screen, with the audio control buttons in the middle section and the air conditioning control buttons at the bottom.
I've been driving my Mercedes E300 for over two years now, and after every maintenance service, I have to reset that service light—otherwise, it keeps glowing and affects my driving mood. The method is quite simple: You sit in the car, turn the key to the second position—don’t start the engine, just let the dashboard lights all come on. Then, using the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, press the Menu button to enter the system menu, and navigate to the Service or Maintenance section, where there should be a service reset option. Select it and press confirm; usually, it will ask if you really want to reset, and you just click Yes, and that’s it. The whole process takes just two or three minutes—super quick. Honestly, I learned this because the dealership kept forgetting to reset it, leaving the light flashing after my first two maintenance services. Now I do it myself, saving a lot of trips to the shop. The purpose of the service light is to remind you to maintain your car on time. After resetting, the system recalculates when to prompt next, helping extend the car's lifespan. So it’s a good habit to develop—don’t wait until the light becomes annoying.
