What is the method to reset the maintenance light on an imported Mercedes-Benz B200?
2 Answers
One method is through the multifunction steering wheel buttons, and another method is by using a specialized diagnostic tool for resetting. Here is some additional information: 1. Maintenance Reminder: Some mid-to-high-end vehicles now come equipped with a maintenance reminder function. Based on preset mileage or engine operating hours, a maintenance prompt will appear on the dashboard, sometimes accompanied by an alert sound. This reminder can be reset manually after maintenance, either by connecting to a diagnostic computer at a repair shop or directly through the vehicle's settings, to initiate the next cycle. 2. Vehicle Maintenance: Vehicle maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. Modern vehicle maintenance primarily includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
Last time I performed a maintenance light reset on my imported Mercedes-Benz B200 by myself. First, ensure the vehicle is turned off, then insert the key and turn it to the second position to power up the dashboard without starting the engine. Next, use the left and right buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the settings menu, locate the maintenance reminder option, and press and hold the OK button to enter the reset mode. A confirmation prompt will appear on the screen; use the up and down buttons to select 'Confirm' and press OK again. This process usually takes about half a minute. Once the reset is complete, turn off the power and restart the vehicle normally. A reminder: menu locations may vary for different model years. If you can't find the option in post-2020 models, it's advisable to check the owner's manual or visit a 4S shop for a computer-assisted reset. Don't force it if you're doing it yourself. Resetting the oil life reminder accurately is crucial for determining the next maintenance schedule—no room for carelessness.
