How do you reset the oil change indicator scale ? Click the image to open in full size.

First - you need to hit the trip indicator button until you have "trip A" indicated in the display (I use this at re-fueling times)

Next - you will need to push the park button then the power off button - yes you will need to fully turn off the car.

Next - locate the MPH/Kilometers button on the dashboard. Press and hold down and then restart the car by pushing the power on button (hold both buttons down at the same time - when the scale is re-set, let go of both buttons)

Verify by looking at the scale indicator

I believe this is correct - good luck.

Mr. Bill,

Thank you so much for your instruction. It's just what I needed. I drove over 5000 miles in 6 weeks and the oild change message came up and I don't know how to get rid of it. Hope your instruction works. Thx.

I answered my own question. It works. I just tried and the reminder message disappeared.

Thank you, Mr. Bill.
