The service maintenance warning light is primarily a reminder for the driver to perform general maintenance on the vehicle. To reset the light and remove it, simply follow these steps. Locate the small button just below the speedometer and press it. At the same time, insert the key and turn on the ignition. Once the ignition lights up, release the button and turn the other button (located below the rev counter) clockwise. Turn off the ignition.
