Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather necessary tools:
    • Ignition key or key fob.
  • Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and is in the "OFF" position.
2. Resetting the Oil Change Light
  1. Insert the ignition key or press the start button without depressing the brake pedal to enter the "ON" position (but do not start the engine).
  2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within a 10-second window.
  3. Turn the ignition to the "ON" position again (but still do not start the engine).
  4. Observe the dashboard; the oil change light should extinguish after a few seconds. If it remains on, repeat the process.
