I'm one of those unfortunate souls with a van that can't reset ASSYST using the instrument cluster.
Please read the attachements to the first posting in this thread:

Statistics are on your side. The instructions to reset ASSYST work on most 2007+ vans. Don't borrow trouble from the future. If it's a 2011 van, you can take it to a dealership, show the instructions to reset ASSYST, demonstrate they don't work on your van and they can beat up Daimler for a fix under warranty.

Hey Jon, I hear ya man. I haven't been able to do it for FOUR YEARS...until today YEA !!!!!!!!!!!!.
I've read a dozen different ways to do this and this one worked PERFECT for me today. Here's what I did.
1. Put the key in the ignition and switch it on without starting the engine.
2. The ASSYST mileage will show, when the mileage shown returns to the vehicle mileage, IMPORTANT the mileage of the vehicle needs to return THEN and ONLY then hit the O button.....hold the O button down till you hear a beep (could take a while) and you will hear one soft little beep – then move on to the M button.
3. As soon as you hear the beep, press the M button once to see the menu, then repeatedly and a number of reset menus will appear. Select "reset 51" (don't know what the other reset menus are for)
4. At reset 51 press the O button until a number 2 appears, release the O button, then press it twice and the LCD should show "display reset done"
I seriously can't believe this one worked I have up looking for a solution.
I got it hear and tweaked the instructions as just the word MILEAGE was throwing me off. I thought it was the last oil change mileage that was in the window with the wrenches, but if you wait those number will go away and show the ACTUAL VEHICLE mileage. That was they key for me.
Now I have to go out and get these instruction made into a brass plaque and super glue it to my dash board.

i finally used this video and reset my oil change setting. thank you very much.
BUT is there any deciphering of all the other number info, settings, whatever you'd like to call them. they must mean something, and perhaps some important diagnostic info. i get the oil level setting, seems evident, but other numbers that pop up give NO clue to what they are referring.
forgive me, someone must have asked this before. is there any explanation somewhere on the forum? i've used the search function, but have come up dry.
seems things are way more difficult than they should be. the dash readings MUST be telling the operator something important, no?

I have a 2011 Winnebago on a 2010 Sprinter and reset the Assyst last night. The previous printed instructions was not working for me, I held the O button until my thumb hurt, no beep. My wife came out and said why not try holding M and O together. Holding both buttons together I got the beep within 10 seconds. Then letting go both, and pressing M I got the menu(s), each press took me to another, at 51 menu, held O in until the 2 came up, then released O, then pressed it twice, got reset done message.
when I checked the Assyst millage it reports 10000 to next service and shows 2 wrenchs, as you probably know 2 wrenches mean the next service is a maintenance service instead of the oil change plus (1 wrench indicates oil chg +)
One other note when I first turn my keep to 2 position I don't get the Assyst millage, it just shows vehicle millage.
Taking her to my regular mechanic for oil and filter change today

This worked for most '07 and '08 but there have been exceptions.
To reset Assyst
Turn ignition to position 2. Press O button (bottom on the left) for 30 seconds. Release after you hear a beep and press M (upper on the left).
Scroll through the messages until you reach the Reset Std message. If you are using either 229.31 or 228/229.51, you can scroll to Reset.31 or Reset.51 respectively using the M button. This selects the oil type in use.
Now, when the appropriate oil type is selected- press O for 6 seconds until ”2” is displayed. Press O once again briefly and the ”done” message will confirm that the job is finished.

Gentlemen-
On 2007 Sprinter w/ 2008 Winnebago camper on it and no steering wheel buttons I followed above instructions to the letter yesterday. I could get into reset menu but not reset. Today, same thing but while tried holding 'M' down while in step 4-5 and pushing 'o', it reset.
I also own a 2009 mb 320ml with same engine(also has bluetec) and my dealer says 'push buttons at random til it resets'. this works but PIA. Somewhere there is a secret code that we are not being told of. Best advice I've got is perseverance and try pushing other buttons. bill
Just changed oil today . Was trying to reset that dash light , my door was closed , was holding that button for 2 min and no beep. My van is 08 with steering buttons .
I have a wrench and it says - Service A due in 300 miles . So my question is : can I reset it now , or do I need to drive 300 miles more , in order to reset it ?
I changed oil because I ll go to 2000 miles trip in a week

I have a 2012 2500 Sprinter with steering wheel buttons. I have tried all of the suggestions only to have a bruised thumb. I do not have the M button. On the left side the top button is for oil level and the bottom button is for mileage or trip reset. Any suggestions???
