After performing the oil and filter change service on the vehicle, you need to reset the service light that appears on the display in the centre of the dashboard. To do this, locate the dial on the multifunction lever to the left of the steering wheel and turn it until the service indicator is displayed.

Then, press the button on the end of the lever marked "BC". At this point, the reset will be complete, and the display will show the timing for the next service in terms of mileage and date.
