Insert the ignition key and turn it to the second position without pressing the clutch, so the engine does not start: it is sufficient for the dashboard to light up. Now, press down fully and hold the accelerator pedal. Immediately after, also press the brake pedal until the message regarding the scheduled oil change appears.

Continue to hold both pedals (accelerator and brake) for another thirty seconds until the reset message appears. This procedure is very useful for those who perform their own routine service.
