Step 1: Turn on the Ignition
The first thing you need to do is to turn on the ignition, but make sure the engine is not running. You want to have power going to the dashboard without the engine actually running.
Step 2: Access the Setup Menu
Once you have the ignition on, locate the “Menu” button on your dashboard. Press and hold this button until the Setup Menu appears.
Step 3: Navigate to Service
Using the arrow buttons on your dashboard, navigate through the options until you find “Service” or a similar option related to maintenance. Press the “Menu” button to select it.
Step 4: Access the Reset Option
Within the Service menu, you should see a list of options related to various maintenance procedures. Look for an option that says “Reset” or something similar. Once you find it, press the “Menu” button to select it.
Step 5: Confirm the Reset
After selecting the Reset option, a confirmation message will appear on your dashboard asking if you want to reset the service light. Confirm the reset by pressing the “Menu” button again.
Step 6: Turn off the Ignition
Once the reset is confirmed, turn off the ignition and wait for about 10 seconds. This will allow the system to reset completely.
Step 7: Turn on the Ignition Again
Turn on the ignition again to see if the service light has been successfully reset. If done correctly, the service light should no longer be displayed on your dashboard.
