How do you reset the oil light on a 2016 Honda Pilot?

My family is going on a road trip from New York to Florida in a few days, so my dad changed the oil in our car and made sure everything was running well. We know the car’s in good shape, but the service light is still on. What’s the best way to reset the oil light on our 2016 Honda Pilot LX?
