Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my E450?

Can my E450 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your E450, but it's important to resist the urge.

Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
