When should I come in for Mercedes-Benz S600 differential service?

What causes a S600’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you clear the S600 check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your S600, but it's important to resist the urge.
