This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed.

- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
- If system message(s) are displayed, press the INFO button to cancel the display.
- Push and release the SEL/RESET button repeatedly until the engine oil life indicator is displayed.
- Press and hold the SEL/RESET button for about 10 seconds, the "OIL LIFE RESET" mode display appears.NOTE:
- If you are resetting the Maintenance Minder when the engine oil life is more than 15 %, make sure any maintenance item(s) requiring service are done before resetting the display.
- To cancel the "OIL LIFE RESET" mode, press the INFO button repeatedly until the "CANCEL" indicator is displayed, then press the SEL/RESET button.
- Press the INFO button repeatedly until the "RESET" indicator is displayed, then press the SEL/RESET button. The maintenance item code(s) will disappear, and the engine oil life will reset to "100%."
