How to restore the onboard computer of the Mercedes to factory settings.

Model: Mercedes Classe A W176 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Onboard computer

Resetting the user data and settings by restoring the onboard computer to its original factory state is a simple and quick operation that can be performed independently on Mercedes A-Class vehicles. To perform the factory reset, we need to turn on the onboard computer and select the "data reset" option. We wait for the reset to load and for the onboard computer to restart. Once completed, the onboard computer will turn on, and it will be necessary to set the parameters again. If the onboard computer does not turn on, it may be necessary to check the fuse.
