Many thanks Vince - Jak na to + styl
Thank you! Only video that shows the correct method. Everybody else skips the correct information
Best explanation on CZcams of how to reset the service indicator light. Thanks for your time and patience ensuring that we don't make mistakes. Well Done Vince!
Thank you for this! My usual garage did the MOT on my 2011 C-class, but as I'd only done 2,000 miles in the year I didn't want the service. They didn't know how to reset it and it's been driving me nuts for 3-months. You've made it so clear, and with the 'common mistakes' bit it's the most helpful video I think I've ever seen. Thank you.
Great demonstration: clear, straightforward and concise with a good camera angle and sharp video. Thanks a lot.
Excellent. Thanks. I had done this some years ago on my ML350, and then more recently I could just not get it into the menu. Now, I see what could have gone wrong. The error analysis is very good.
Wow ! Please, Please, see this video to the end. I was traying to reset our GLK 350 following every other CZcams explanations. This guy saved me from going around the bend. Thanks Vince
WOW!! I took my car to have it serviced somewhere besides the dealer and the mechanic could not figure out how to do it. I had very little trouble after watching this video. I just wrote every step down and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much.
You are the only one who has explained it so well! I kept on seeing reset trip meter and it was sooooo frustrating 😅. Thank you so much
Excellent and concise information that actually accomplishes the mission! I tried some other methods listed through the internet to reset the irritating 2012 C250 "B9" service reminder (which had already been done by a competent garage), but none of them worked. By the way, lad, you remind me of a friend of my wife (she's English) and mine who lives outside of London - so you also inspired us to visit our friends there in 2023! Cheers and all the best!
Thanks for this great video. I have a 2012 CL63 AMG. All of the other instructional videos were confusing and didn't work for me. After watching your video I was able to reset on the 1st try. Thanks again! :)
Thanks so much you rule!! I used this on my GLK 350 and it worked great! Really appreciate you taking the time to put this up as I have spent a lot of time screwing with this in the past! Thx again!
Thank you so much, after many trials on my 2013 GLK 350, I watched your video, and the mistake was pressing the call button and the ok button too far apart. Thanks for that observation. It worked on my car. I got the reset once I followed your instructions.
Thank you so much for this my wife had the service done at Mercedes Chester with the warning showing after the service . Three phone calls later and no response I did it with your help. My wife and I are speaking again. I am 78 and found your video very clear. Many thanks.
Hi Vince, just watched your video and managed to reset mine first time round, thanks very much!!!
I went through 2 other darned videos that said hold both buttons down simultaneously, with obvious very frustrating failures. Its terrible when you follow instructions with bad results. Yours was the only one to explain the fraction of a second delay...I couldn't believe it when I saw the proper screen come up! Felt like a miracle! Thank you so much....old American saying" The devil is in the details"!
Absolutely awesome video to answer the questions surrounding the fine details on how to reset the maintenance reminders. 2014 e class worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
The direction were perfect. The position 1 got me at first but the just redid it and it worked like magic. THanks for making the video
Very clear tutorial. Worked perfectly fine with my 2012 C350. A big thank you from Dubai!
Thank you so much for this video. My son did the service on my car and when I took my car to go get the service notification off they were going to charge me $75.
I'm not opposed to paying for anything that needs to be fixed but charging me $75 for something that literally took me less than 5 minutes to do.
Thank you yet again 😊.
Worked for me on my W246 B class. The car has covered 9780 miles from new, Mercedes main dealer quoted £880 ! to service the car....genuine parts cost me £33. This car is so quick and easy to service, so saved myself a cool £850. Thanks Vince.
Worked fine on a 2013 B-class, after the mechanic once again forgot to do this after maintenance. Makes one wonder what else they forget. Thanks for the video!
They didnt forget they just lazy
Great explanation! Much more clear than other videos I watched first. Thank you!
Very Easy and brilliantly explained. Thank You Vince. Worked on my 2012 ML250cdi.
Got to add my thanks
I had my timings wrong so your handy guide about the myths at the end was perfect for me
No longer got the annoying service interval reminder showing 👍🏼
Great tip....I did the exact same thing. I had to figure it out by just retrying it and I just got lucky. I wish I had seen this video 10 minutes ago. I got back from resetting my service light and I saw your video running after I had another video telling me how to reset it.
I tried the other videos and I always come up with "Reset odometer" and I was really getting frustrated. This video explained it very well. That split second between the "call button" and the "OK" button made the difference. It worked and I was able to reset the service indicator light. Thank you very much.
Excellent instructions. It works like a charm. Painless and quick. Reprieve from my daily torture for the last 20 days.
Well done, very clear instructions & vitally the point about split second later for pressing of 2nd button - many thanks.
Thank you for posting this up. Especially the pit falls section. Much appreciated.
Oh. My. Heavens! Finally, I got it. Same scenario as you described. I got it right by accident before, but just spent a ton of time trying to get it without any success. I followed your instructions; BINGO! Got it the first time! Thank you so much for sharing this, and sharing the wrong methods, which were oh so familiar to me! Cheers!
Best explanation, it took me 40mins of messing with it last time, after watching this I did it in a minute 👍
great tips! It was very helpful getting my car reset the service alert.
Watched several videos understood what to do. None else said close the door.
Worked with door closed on my MB 2009 W204 C300. Thanks.
I agree Ronnie. Love my C Class......same model as well. I'm loving the tips provided by people like "my mate vince" Thank you. I just need to find a video that covers the oil change and the tool needed. Dealers are a rip off just for a basic service.
Fantastic video mate, short and sweet, the Ronseal of videos, does exactly what it says on the tin. thanks for taking the time to post, worked a treat on my 2013 SLK 250 AMG. 👍👍
Thank for Your video. What was mostly important for me was named by You as "common mistakes" which I made several times since i saw this movie .
Thank u so much !! I tried other videos all failed. Only ur one got the most details and working:) I don’t knw why it just kept asking me go services every 6 months , so frequent !
Hi I just want to say thank you so much that you where really good at it I was looking to a diffrent videos but not as good as your you where so clear Tks.👏
I’ve just done it. And it works!!!!
This is what youtube was invented for!!!
👍🏽
Proper clear and a British dude!!! Thank God!!!
I have a need C220 2013 plate.
Thanks dude.
Thanks for the great video.. You spoke clearly and slow enough to follow. I had no problems at all. This worked on my 2012 E350..
We have the same car lol..
Great worked checked all the other videos, this is the best and easiest one to follow. Once again thank you
first class & very informative video, you make it look so easy, many thanks a lot dude
Really good video and explanation, Vince. Worked on my 2010 E350 CDi. Thank you.
I watched 10 different videos into you explained it perfectly, thank you. I did it on first try after watching your video
Great Video, clear and correct for my 2014 E 220 - I just had it serviced at a local garage who could not reset the computer ( I may not be going there again ). They decided that because it had a few hundred miles left on it I would have to wait till they run down before I could re-set the computer. I knew that could not be correct. Thanks for the tips.
Well done. The only video where your info. actually worked. Thanks very much.
This is fantastic. I was struggling with my S212 E class and kept getting the 'reset trip metr' menu. Many thanks for this.
Thank you Sir for honest and clear explanation. Other videos didn't tell us that little secret.
Thank you for this video. Great presentation and no annoying background music.
Very straight forward and informative and easy to follow. Many thanks
Brilliant! Clear, Concise, in Common Sense order and language 11 out of 10. Thank you
Thank you! I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong while following another video. You saved me, thank you!
VINCE great video worked first time thanks very much
that two fingers split second press and hold makes the difference. very helpful , thanks
Thanks for the clarity. I was turning the key to full accessory and getting "reset trip" every time. Turned key to first position and worked perfectly first time..
Nice video.Good clarity and precise to the point. Worked great for me .Thanks.
Thanks! This worked for my US model 2011 CL550. Having it on the trip meter was the trick that other videos weren't showing.
Excellent thank you. Good to have common mistakes pointed out also. Well done.
Awesome detailed explanation on the "when to hit the OK button", I'm sure this could be frustrating for people that go by the "press it a second later" when that clearly doesn't work!
Thanks sooo much !! Worked perfect took seconds and saved me a lot of time!! Thanks again!!
Thank you, outstanding instructions that worked great for the 2016 AMG C63S.
TOP MAN out of all the videos on you tube you are the only one that has mentioned you need to have it in the mileage bit and " nothing else"! NOT the MPH reading I have been messing around for ages and it wouldn't work till I seen your video THANK YOU!!!! PS works no the 2015 220 cdi
Just followed ur simple instructions & It worked on my ML350 2015…Thanks
Thank you, it worked for me. Best video on this issue.
It is a great video and gets straight to the point on resetting the service indicator.....however, for those of us with W204's built for sale in the US, you DO have to have the driver's door closed or the procedure will not work. Tried and tested several times with door closed and open, 100% success/failure rate respectively
Thanks Vince that was a great help!
Hi Vince, Thanks for the concise, easy peezy reset expalnation. It worked like magic. Appreciated!
Concise,clear and well articulated. Thank you.
On a C180 (2010 model), this works fine but you have to hit the left button and highlight the TRIP option then follow the above instructions. Great vid :)
Thank you so much Vince, you helped me a lot
Love this video, so helpful!!! Worked on the 1st try!! Thank you!
thanks vince you have solved the problem on my glc 250 amg line and explained fully and easy to follow again many thanks
love this type of easy and straight to the point info ,,,thanks
Nice and simple, worked on my 2013 C class thanks so much!
Very good to show correct ways to carry out service light reset. Best one .
Thank you.
Thanks! Super easy directions. I did find, however, on my US model 2012 GLK that I needed to have the door closed for it to work.
Perfect. Thank you. The millisecond wait between pressing Phone and OK is crucial as you said. I watched another vid before this one and the fella didn't mention the millisecond wait. I was waiting too long (1/2 sec?) and kept getting the ODO reset question. It was driving me nuts. You fixed that!
Excellent, thanks for commenting :-)
Had this on for 5 months but never bothered. Thanks for the video :)
Best guide video ever, well done mate 👍🏽
Thank you so much. I have been trying to do this for many weeks. It took me a few seconds to do it after watching this video !
Thanks so much for this! Worked first time on 2012 E200 (S212). My garage had tried same method but no success, will show em your method. Thank you!!
Thank you. So many didn’t explain this clearly
Worked perfectly - thank you - such clear instructions
Thank you so much trying to reset the service light was doing my head in .... until i found your presentation ❤
Great information and very thorough! Thank you

Well described and the best video on CZcams for me. C250 2011 many thanks
Best video. Finally able to reset my 2012 ML350 Bluetec. I watched few other videos, they were precised. Ty!

Excellent video. Watch till end. I was having the same problem. This solved it! Thanks so much
That worked great on my 2015 SLK350!! Thank you for the thorough explanation and examples!
I agree with others. A no nonsense tutorial,nice one. Works with Vito 2017👍🏻
2015 GLA amg works fine , be sure to get the timing of the button pressing right
Excellent video, perfect explanation. My issued was solved in seconds. Worked on a CLS 2013-2019 model❤
Great video especially the part about the button speed at the end, which was exactly what I was doing wrong.
great instructions
well explained I now understand how I was getting it wrong

Awesome
You explained extremely well

Job done now as that Trip meter was a real pain until watching your video 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
