Either back to the dealer, or use the instructions here. I had a hell of a time getting the directions on the link to work, but they do. The dealer wanted $150 to change the oil, the cabin filter, look over the car, and reset the light.

The manual contains no useful instructions for resetting the blinking wrenc.

The car doesn't come with a proper Service Manual, just a general Operator's Handbook. Benz will not release a Service Manual to us - the kind of comprehensive manual that would include the reset code, etc.

They expect you to just take your car to the Dealership whenever the car's indicator sys, toss them the keys, and say, "Here you are my good man... Do whatever is necessary and fill in the amount on this blank cheque."

LOL!

When does the 1 year clock start?

Don't know if this has been covered or not, but when does the one year countdown actually start - production, delivery to port, delivery to dealer or delivery to customer?

Should be set at delivery but do they? I guess I will have to wait to find out.

600 for me. But, I was aware of that when I bought it. No wrenches yet.

I don't know either, BUT, it seems from what I'm reading that it's from time of production

Definitely not delivery to customer. I got my car late January last year. Wrench started blinking in early December.
