How to reset the service indicator on the Kia Ceed

Model: Kia Cee D MK 1 - Years 2006-2012
Part: Service warning light

To reset the "Service" light on the Kia Ceed, follow these steps: 1. **Turn on the ignition**: Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ON" position without starting the engine (or press the ignition button twice without pressing the brake pedal, if you have a keyless start system). 2. **Navigate the dashboard menu**: Using the steering wheel control buttons, look for the "Service" or "Maintenance" option in the dashboard display menu. It should be located in the "Settings" or "Vehicle Information" section. 3. **Reset the counter**: When you are in the "Service" or "Maintenance" screen, press and hold the "OK" or "Reset" button (depending on the model) for a few seconds. A message confirming the reset of the maintenance counter should appear on the display. 4. **Check the reset**: Turn off the ignition and then turn it back on to verify that the "Service" light has been reset correctly. If the above steps do not work, you may need to consult the owner's manual or seek the help of a mechanic, as some models may have slightly different procedures.
