To reset the "Service" light on a Hyundai Elantra, start by turning on the instrument cluster without starting the engine. Use the buttons on the steering wheel to access the onboard computer menu.

Navigate until you find the section dedicated to maintenance or service intervals, usually labelled as "Settings" or "Service". Once inside the menu, scroll to the option that allows you to view the current maintenance interval. From here, look for the option to reset the service intervals.

To proceed with the reset, select this option and hold down the confirmation button on the steering wheel for a few seconds. The onboard computer display should indicate that the reset has been completed and the maintenance interval will be updated.

Once done, the "Service" light will turn off, indicating that the system has acknowledged the new interval. This process is essential for keeping the vehicle properly monitored, ensuring it receives the necessary alerts for subsequent maintenance.

If the reset does not succeed on the first attempt, repeat the steps carefully following the instructions on the display.
