The onboard computer located in front of the dashboard of our car indicates everything we need to know, such as when to change the oil. Once the operation is completed, the guide shows how to reset it, as each time a replacement operation is performed, the sensors must be replaced and the computer must be reset, so it will be able to inform us when it is time to carry out new maintenance operations.

If you want to proceed with the DIY method, simply turn on the ignition, press the partial mileage reset button, while using the high beam lever to select the function to reset, press the button on the lights until the word 'reset' appears.
