Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my SLC300?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

All About 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SLC300's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Mercedes-Benz, from the axles to the transmission.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC300, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Drivetrain Repairs
