  3. Press and hold the SELECT/RESET knob for 10 seconds, or until the engine oil life indicator and the maintenance code starts to blink.
  4. Release the SELECT/RESET knob, then press and hold it for five seconds, or until the maintenance items code disappears and the engine oil life returns to 100%.
  5. To ensure that the indicator has reset, turn the ignition off and back on.
