Within 10 seconds turn key in steering lock to position 0. 4. Press and hold button (1), while turning key in steering lock to position 2 again. The present status for days or distance is displayed once more. Continue to hold button (1). After approximately 10 seconds a signal sounds, and the display shows 10 000 miles (Canada: 15 000 km) for approximately 10 seconds. 5. Release button (1). If the FSS counter was inadvertently reset, have a Mercedes-Benz Center correct it. Note: When disconnecting vehicle battery for one or more days at a time, such days will not be counted. Any such days not counted by FSS can be added by your Mercedes-Benz Center. The interval between services is determined by the kind of vehicle operation. Driving at extreme speeds, and cold starts combined with short distance driving in which the engine does not reach normal operating temperature, reduce the interval between services.
