Does anyone know if I can reset the service indicator by myself. I am planning to do the oil change myself and was wondering if I could reset the service indicator myself. It would surely save me a trip to my dealer which is about 1.5 hours away.

Thanks in advance.

Yes it can be done. The procedure is in the manual.

I would like to know also but my car didn't come with a manual. Could someone post how to? Thanks in advance.

Turn the key in the steering lock to position 1.

Press button to the left of the speedometer and hold it in.

Turn the key in the steering lock to position 2.

After about 10 seconds an audible signal will be heard, and the maintenance indicator will display 15,000 km/7,500 miles.

Release button to the left of the speedometer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. I shall try it out tomorrow although I dont think that information was in the manual I have.

Thanks, I will try it when I change the oil.

I tried it out and it didnt work. Also looked through my manual and it doesnt show anything on it. Perhaps US cars do not have this feature?

Hmmm go figure

Active Service System (ASSYST) Operating Notes

Displaying remaining distance, remaining time or service exceeded when vehicle stationary or when driving on driver request:

Wake-up instrument cluster.
Start switch in position "2" or driving.
Operate reset button for trip counter twice within 1 s : the current remaining distance, the current remaining time or the current service exceeded appears.

Resetting ASSYST after oil change (oil change reset) at instrument cluster:

Move start switch into position "2".
Within the first 4 s after moving start switch into position "2": press reset button for trip counter twice within one second. The display for the service request is thus activated for 10 s .
Within these 10 s move start switch into position "0". The service request continues to be displayed.
Press reset button for trip counter and hold pressed.
Move start switch into position "2".
Continue to hold reset button for trip counter pressed (about 10 s ) until the signal sounds and the new start distance appears in the display.

I just tried it out today. It works. Had to be really quick with the fingers. It felt like getting a special feature on a video game.

Thanks man.

I hadn't tried it myself yet. Guess I'll ask my teenage son to do it when the time comes.
