How often will I need Mercedes-Benz GLS350d differential service?

Can you reset your GLS350d’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.

By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
