Therefore, read "Integrated mileage for reminder," "Integrated days for reminder," "Mileage until Extra reminder," "Months until Extra reminder," and "Current schedule" from the meter before the replacement using the special function of the scan tool MB991958, and note them. If "Integrated mileage for reminder" or "Integrated days for reminder" cannot be read from the meter using the scan tool MB991958, use the following method.

    2. As for the elapsed days for check warning, calculate the number of elapsed days from the delivery date to the customer (service reminder function start date) and current date.
  • After the service reminder function has started, when the elapsed days for check warning is reset for the vehicle whose battery is removed for a long period (15 days or more), calculate the elapsed days from the delivery date to the customer (service reminder function start date) and the current date, and then input it.

  1. Reminder reset (Indicator off)
  2. Next schedule reminder cancel
  3. Extra reminder setting
