Once displayed, press the button on the instrument cluster three times. This will show the vehicle's voltage.

Once the message "Maintenance Data" appears, select confirm using the "-" button on the steering wheel, then confirm with the button to the left of the down arrow on the steering wheel.

After confirming, the message "General Maintenance" will appear, and press the previous button again. This will display the message "Maintenance Confirmed," and you will have successfully completed the reset.
