Part: Service warning light

Resetting the oil light is a very simple and quick operation that can be done at any time, even independently. First, ensure that you start the various steps with the vehicle completely off. Next, insert the key and turn on the ignition without starting the engine. At this point, press the accelerator pedal three times in quick succession, and finally, turn off the ignition. The oil light reset is now complete, but if you encounter any errors during the procedure, you can repeat the operation without any issues. The next time you start the vehicle, the light will no longer appear.
