For 2006+ models with the maintenance minder system:
Resetting the Maintenance Information Display
NOTE: The vehicle must be stopped to reset the display. You might also need to have the parking lights and headlights turned off too, but that might only applicable to the older MAIN'T REQ'D lights.
If a required service is done and the display is not reset, or if the maintenance display is reset without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance timing.
This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed.
PROCEDURE:
1.) Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
2.) Press release the TRIP button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.
3.) Press and hold the TRIP button for about 10 seconds.
4.) The engine oil life indicator and the maintenance item code(s) will blink. Let go of the TRIP button.
NOTE: If you are resetting the display when the engine oil life is more than 15 %, make sure any maintenance item(s) requiring service are done before resetting the display.
5.) Press and hold the TRIP button for another 5 seconds. The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ''100''.
6.) The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to ''100''.
