turn off that service light! (1998 w210)

[fent77]

apologies for incompetence! this was the reason i ended up joining the forum in the first place. now i've forgotten the procedure: could someone just remind me how to turn off the service-needed warning that comes on every time i start the engine. i know it involves partly turning the key, then pressing the odd button, but that's not going to get me very far, when there's a specific and precise procedure. thanks!

if you look in your manuals which came with your car it tells you how to do it
