Here's a detailed English guide for resetting the service light (service reminder) on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, applicable to most models from 2006 to newer. The exact procedure may vary slightly depending on the model year and equipment (e.g., multi-function steering wheel or not).
🔧 Preparation
-
Ensure the vehicle is parked and turned off
-
Insert the key and turn it to Position 2 (ignition ON, engine OFF)
-
Wait until the service message appears on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service A due”, “Service B overdue”, etc.)
🚐 Method 1: For Sprinter Models with Multi-Function Steering Wheel (2014–2018+)
-
Mercedes Sprinter Service Reset: Turn the ignition to ON (Position 2), but do not start the engine.
-
Use the arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to display the mileage/odometer screen.
-
Press and hold both the “Phone Hang-Up” (Back) button and the “OK” button for about 5–10 seconds.
-
Navigate using the arrows to “ASSYST PLUS”, then press OK.
-
Select “Full Service”, then “Confirm Service”.
-
Choose the correct oil grade used (if applicable), then confirm.
-
When prompted with “Confirm?”, select “Yes” and press OK.
-
A message like “Service Completed” will appear, confirming the reset.
🛠️ Method 2: For Older Models Without Multi-Function Steering Wheel (e.g., 2007–2013)
-
Turn ignition to ON (Position 2), engine off.
-
Press and hold the “0” button (trip reset button) on the instrument cluster for about 30 seconds.
-
You may hear a beep or see the service indicator flash.
-
Release the button, then press it again briefly.
-
The service light should reset or disappear from the screen.
⚠️ Notes
-
Perform the reset only after completing the required service, such as an oil and filter change.
-
Some newer Sprinter models may require a diagnostic scan tool (OBD2) to reset the service indicator.
-
If reset is unsuccessful, check whether the service was properly completed or whether mileage/time thresholds have been met.
🧰 Typical Sprinter Service Intervals
-
Service A: Every 10,000 miles or 1 year – includes engine oil and filter replacement.
-
Service B: Every 20,000 miles or 2 years – includes Service A + cabin air filter, brake check, fluid inspection, etc.
