I mean those sequences of button / pedal presses with doors / bonnet in certain positions to achieve service tasks.

E.g. bonnet + door open, ignition on, both pedals down for 60 seconds to reset the service indicator.
Recirc button reveals cabin filter
Double press of cruise control cancel button reveals actual oil level when it says 'unavailable'
There's one to put the parking brake in service mode.

Is there a definitive and complete list of these things anywhere?

Should we collate one?

Chris,

WIPERS SERVICE POSITION
Note: The Smart Key must remain in the vehicle while wiper blades are replaced.
1. Ensure that the ignition is turned off.
2. Turn the ignition on then off again.
3. Immediately push the wiper control down to start the single wipe operation and turn on the ignition again.
The wipers will move to their service position.
4. When the new parts have been fitted, turn the ignition off. This will return the wipers to park position.

** As I found out - change the wipers as soon as you can after putting them in the service position as they will self-park again after a few minutes when the ignition turns itself off ** 2017 - L405 SC - WOW! just WOW!

Activation.
This procedure requires the vehicle in the Park or Neutral position, with the ignition turned ON (the engine must be OFF) and the parking brake system released.
1. Press and hold the parking brake switch in the release position.
2. Wait 2 seconds.
3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position.
4. Wait 2 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition Off and back On immediately.
6. Release the accelerator pedal and release the parking brake switch to the neutral position.

NOTE - An audible noise will be heard to confirm that the parking brake has been released and is now in Service Mode.

Once the rear brake pads or brake discs have been installed, the Service Mode must be cancelled.

Deactivation (cancelling)
1. Press and hold the parking brake switch in the apply position.
2. Wait 2 seconds.
3. Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position.
4. Wait 2 seconds.
5. Turn the ignition Off and back On immediately.
6. Release the accelerator pedal and release the parking brake switch to the neutral position.

NOTE - An audible noise will be heard to confirm that the parking brake has been released from the Service Mode. 2017 - L405 SC - WOW! just WOW!
