I have read around on how to reset the FSS on 2007 and earlier models. However, with the new redesign the "reset" button that they all ask for was taken away. Does anyone know the NEW 2008 procedures for removing the "Service Exceeded" display light?

most can be found here www.startekinfo.com for free under MB Workdhop resources, at the bottom of the list you will see reset service indicator

Nope, I joined and printed the instructions, but my model has 10 buttons on the steering wheel not 4. And the instructions did not work. I searched the site using my vin # to make sure the instrucions were for my model, but like I said they didn't work. The visual on the PDF file doesn't even look like my dash nor my steering wheel.

Now what?

advance search posts for procedure by JohnHef + FSS.

I have a 2008 c-300 sport, with voice command options on the steering wheel.

Thanks for your help.

Send me a PM or e-mail & I will send you the instructions.

There are 2 different ones for the W204 cars.

Got it, did it, IT WORKED!!!

Thanks!

Can someone with the procedure pls. Pm me or email me at sconures@yahoo.com?
Thanks, Dann

Sorry, 2008 C300

Didn't you get the memo?

Mercedes does not want anyone but the dealership to work on their vehicles.
This will ensure that everything is done according to factory standards because nobody else is qualified to touch these complicated works of art but the dealership.

Just kidding,
Glad you figured it out as it can be a real pain in the rear even after you have done quite a few of them.

Sorry but I didn't get any memo. Link above doesn't work for me. I can do all the service myself to save the time at the stealership.
Anyone have the instructions?
Thanks, Dann
