How do you reset the computer after changing battery in a 2002 Mercedes Benz 320 SLK?

Answer 1

After there has been a break in the in the power to the automobile there are three settings that need to be reset. The clock must be reset according to the instructions in the owner's manual. The ESP must be reset. This is done by starting the car and turning the steering wheel to the steering lock position on either side. Turn the steering wheel to the left or right until it cannot be turned further and then turn it in the opposite direction until it cannot be turned further. Confirmation that the ESP has been reset will be the ESP light on the dashboard going out. The radio must be reset. When you turn the radio on the display will read CODE and prompt you to enter your radio code. If you are fortunate enough to have the code enter it and press the button under the OK display. If you do not have the code or the code you have doesn't work you will need to call Mercedes Benz Customer service with the VIN number of the vehicle and probably confirm in some way you are the owner. They will give you the radio code they have on record. Enter that five digit number and press the button directly under the OK display to get the radio to accept the code. If the radio comes on it worked. If it didn't try getting the code from the nearest dealership.
