In today's video, we can see how to reset the maintenance of a Mercedes SLK, model R172. We start the procedure by turning on the instrument panel of our car without starting the engine, then we press and hold down the "OK" button and the telephone handset button simultaneously, both located on the steering wheel keypad, until we enter the service menu.

Once done, we select the "ASSYST PLUS" option and then the "full service" option, then click on "conf.

Serv. Comp." and select the grade of oil used for the service, confirming it afterwards. Finally, we confirm the operation to complete the job.
