If the maintenance light has come on, but you need to wait a few days to visit your trusted mechanic and want to turn off the light, follow these steps. Turn on the ignition and access the menu on the central onboard computer.

From the main screen commands, tap on Car Info and then on the Maintenance tab at the top. The screen will display various parts of the car subject to wear and the remaining mileage. Select 'Engine Oil' and reset the odometer by clicking on the gear icon and then on the 'upgrade' button.

You can perform this operation for all parts of the car that trigger the warning light on the dashboard.
