If you have had the oil & filter changed recently then use the reset process to set remaining oil life. The oil maintenance is a warning that it's time for an oil change.

To reset the oil change system, follow the procedure below:

Vehicles without smart key system

Turn the engine switch off with the trip meter A reading shown.

While pressing the trip meter reset button, turn the engine switch to the “ON” position. Press and hold the button until the trip meter displays “000000”.

Vehicles with smart key system,

Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off with the trip meter reading shown.

While pressing the trip meter reset button, turn the “ENGINE

START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode.

Press and hold the button until the trip meter displays “000000”.
