How to navigate the service menu of the Mercedes SLK

Model: Mercedes Slk MK 3, R172 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Onboard computer

In this video, we can see how to navigate the menu of the Mercedes SLK service: it is a program that is not very intuitive, and for this reason, it requires an explanation. By simply turning the key, we can see the mileage, and by pressing the reset button three times located on the right side of the instrumentation, the battery voltage will be displayed. On the keyboard located on the left side of the steering wheel, we find the button to access the main menu, and then the up/down buttons to navigate within the system: here we can see the days and kilometers remaining until the next service. In the "positions" menu, we can see what type of services are scheduled, and in the special services, we can see what operations are scheduled in addition to the normal services, and we can select individual services or confirm the entire operation.
