This guide shows two possible ways to reset the service light on the vehicle. The first procedure allows the operation via the onboard menu.

First, close all doors and turn on the instrument panel. Press and hold the "trip" button on the wiper stalk until the menu appears on the instrument display.

Navigate to the "settings" option and press the "ok" button. Move to the "service" option and press "ok" again, then select the "reset" option; press the "ok" button again to confirm the reset of the warning.

The other procedure uses two buttons. First, press and hold the "0.0/SET" button (to the right of the dashboard) and then turn on the instrument panel.

At this point, release the button while holding down the button on the left of the dashboard for twenty seconds. The reset operation is now complete.
