Resetting Service Items - Using the Instrument Cluster

When one or more service and maintenance items has been performed, these items must be reset (to the full service interval). This is achieved via the instrument cluster or DISplus.

To reset a service item using the instrument cluster, press the reset button (1) on the top left side of the instrument cluster for > 10 seconds.

This brings you directly to Reset mode.

A 4-line menu appears in the speedometer. At the top is the Back function, then the first three service and maintenance items sorted by priority. In addition, the residual wear or the remaining time are specified (possibly with a minus sign).

The "!" symbol means that you can reset this service and maintenance item, while a "0" indicates it is not able to be reset (the first 20% of the service interval is protected against premature/accidental reset).

You can scroll through the service and maintenance items by pressing the reset button or the lower axial (FAS) button on the turn signal/high beam switch. When you have selected a service item, press the reset button for a few seconds to display a 2-line menu in the tachometer.

The Back function is at the top and the resettable service and maintenance item is below it. Now select the service and maintenance item with the reset button (or the axial button) and press the reset button again for a few seconds.

In a third menu line, the system confirms that the reset was successful. The whole interval for the service operation is highlighted in the Service Need Display.
