How to reset the oil light on a 2013 Kia Soul.

Model: Kia Soul MK 1 - Years 2008-2014
Part: Service warning light

Let's see how to reset the service light on a 2013 Kia Soul: turn on the instrument panel and quickly pump the accelerator pedal five times, firmly. Wait a few seconds, and the yellow oil can-shaped light should turn off. Start the engine to verify. It's essential to press the pedal all the way down each time; if the light doesn't turn off, repeat everything from the beginning: it's not as easy as it seems because it needs to be done firmly but quickly. If the problem persists, there may be a real issue, such as the oil level being too low. Check the level again before proceeding.
