If you have just completed the regular service on your Subaru Forester, but the warning light continues to illuminate at each start, you need to perform a manual reset. First, ensure that all the car doors are properly closed.

Then, turn on the ignition and scroll through the onboard computer menu until you select "Settings". Next, enter "Maintenance". Finally, go to "Maintenance schedule" and select the "Update" option. A few moments later, the reset is complete, and the warning light will no longer activate from the next start.

To reset the oil light, follow the same procedure.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Warning Light on a Kia Rio?

The tyre pressure warning light displayed on the instrument cluster of the Kia Rio can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the recommended pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker affixed to the driver's door pillar. Once all tyres have been inflated to the recommended pressure, turn on the ignition to check that the light has disappeared: if it is still present, it may be necessary to drive for a few miles, allowing the sensors to work and thus turning off the light.
