NOTE:

The vehicle must be stopped to reset the Maintenance Minder.
If a required service is done and the Maintenance Minder is not reset, or if the Maintenance Minder is reset without doing the service, the system will not show the proper maintenance timing. This can lead to serious mechanical problems because there will be no accurate record of when the required maintenance is needed.
The engine oil life and maintenance item(s) can be independently reset with the HDS.

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
If system message(s) are displayed, press the INFO button to cancel the display.
Push 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 %."
