Default Service message on startup

I just had the 35000 mile service done on my 2004 D3 serial 8170. They forgot to reset the reminder and now every time I start the car it gives a big SERVICE! message. Can I get rid of that and reset it myself? I can't find it in the owners manual. My 1999 Mercedes had a prcedure where I could reset it myself. Thanks!

Default Doesn't work on the D3...

It has to go through guided fault functions to be reset.

Don't need guided fault finding to reset.
Go to 17 instrument cluster.
10 for adaptation, adaptation channel 2, change the 1 to a 0 to reset.
That is all, same for all newer cars.
