If the oil warning light along with a spanner has illuminated on the dashboard of your Chevrolet Captiva, it means it's time to replace the oil as the service interval has been exceeded. Once you have serviced the vehicle at your trusted garage, you can manually reset the warning light by following this simple procedure.

First, enter the cabin, then insert the key and turn on the ignition. Fully press the accelerator pedal three times in quick succession, restart the ignition, and check that the reset has been successful.
