owners manual

My owners manual is in German I believe. I don't read german. If you do maybe you could answer my question? How do I reset the service symbol for the 2006 Sartfortwo.

Your dealer will do it for a $499 doc fee.

Try this to reset service light

This is from the Evilution web site. I do not know if it applies to 451 models.

My search showed the below methods and it may depend on year. Could try both since it shouldn't hurt at least.

Method 1

Switch on the ignition to position 1

Select maintenance indicator within 4 sec by double tapping the instrument cluster button

Switch of the ignition to position 0 (off) within 10 sec

Push and hold in the instrument cluster button and switch ignition on

Hold the instrument cluster button for another 10sec

In that time, the spanner symbol on the LCD will flash and eventually reset

Method 2

Switch on the ignition to position 1

Select maintenance indicator within 4 sec by double tapping the instrument cluster button, keep it held down on the second press.

Switch of the ignition to position 0 (off) within 10 sec

Switch ignition on

Keep the instrument cluster button held down for another 10sec

In that time, the spanner symbol on the LCD will flash and eventually reset

Thanks, StevenM1TX. Method one for maintenance counter indicator reset worked for me, too. It took me awhile to figure it out. I think the secret is to double tap quickly. Shellcaptain in K.C., MO.
