  1. I followed the instruction for my 2013 ML350 up to step 4, but nothing came up. Hold the two buttons for more than a minute. Anyone has tried it on 2013 model?

  2. Hi Kevin, we can confirm it works on a 2013 but it’s all in the timing. When you got to step 4 was the current mileage showing in the instrument cluster? Were all windows, doors, hood and trunk closed?

  3. I tried to reset the service light and got up to step 4 and nothing happen , when i pressed ok button the regular miles came up i tried over and over and still nothing. I am at a lost with this issue . I really think that mercedes reset system sucks, to long, and complicated .

  4. I, too was frustrated, but just got lucky & figured it out. Instead of turning the ignition to the “on” position, I turn it just to the first position, and then the instructions that were posted worked perfectly. Thank you to the “Oil Reset Team”. I appreciate it:)
