Is it possible to reset the SLK55 AMG malfunction warning light on my own?

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

All About 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SLK55 AMG's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Mercedes-Benz's recommendations.
