Solution
1. Preparation
  • Ensure the vehicle is in a safe, stationary position with the engine off.
  • Gather necessary tools: None required for this process.
2. Reset the Maintenance Light
  1. Turn Off Ignition: Ensure the ignition is turned off before starting the reset.
  2. Press Odometer Reset: Locate the odometer reset button on the instrument cluster (usually found near the speedometer) and press and hold it down.
  3. Turn Ignition On: With the odometer reset button still pressed, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).
  4. Wait for the Light: Keep the odometer reset button pressed until the maintenance light blinks and then turns off (this may take about 10 seconds).
  5. Release the Button: Once the light turns off, release the odometer reset button.
  6. Turn Off Ignition: Finally, turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position to complete the reset process.
