The dealer probably forgot to reset the light. It should take them about 30 seconds to reset, have him take it to the dealer.

There should be this option, but my copy of the US manual did not seem to include the advice.

It needs to go back to the dealer.

No way of doing the reset yourself. They forgot to do mine too. Makes you wonder what else they forget when they charge you $400 for an oil change and supposedly checking other things too.
