I have a 2008 Sprinter.The dash light (wrench shape)indicating that routine maintenance is due comes on every time I start the vechicle, (because the dealer changed the oil while doing other work and the mileage hadn't been reached at that time.) Is there a way to reset this indicator? My Sprinter does NOT have the steering wheel buttons. Thanks.

 

the scan tool is needed to reset it as far as we know. in service information is says to reset it the same way as the va sprinters. But the buttons are not there. So the dealer needs to reset it with the starscan/ starmobile

STANDARD PROCEDURE - Active Service System (ASSYST) Maintenance Reset


Description
The ASSYST tells you when the next service is due.

The deadline for the service is indicated in either days or miles/km, depending on the number of miles/kilometers driven.



About one month before the service is due, the multi-function display indicates whether

Service A: Oil Service Plus or




Service B: a maintenance sercie will be carried out. The display appears for approximately ten seconds after you have turned the ignition on. At the same time, the remaining distance in miles/km or the remaining time in days is also displayed.




When the remaining time in days is shown, the time symbol is displayed.


If you have exceeded the service date,

the service display will blink for 10 seconds in the multi-function display after the ignition has been turned on,
and a minus sign will appear in front of the service date.
After each service (Oil Service Plus or maintenance service), the authorized dealer or Sprinter service center will reset the service display.
