After changing the oil, the first step is to reset the oil change light, also known as the service light. This operation is not very intuitive and is often forgotten.

Now, it's time to show you how to do it. Start by turning on the instrument cluster. There are two buttons, one on the right and one on the left.

Pull the button on the right outward and, while holding it, rotate the other button on the left. After three seconds, the light will be reset.

Turn off and then turn on the cluster again, and you're done.
