2002 Mini Cooper Base, Automatic CVTFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Reset Service Indicator

Oil service and inspection reset will be possible only after 20% of the expected fuel usage has been consumed following the previous reset. The SIA function may be reset through operation of the ignition switch and trip reset button (or the DISplus).

The following procedure will be used for reset (assuming that resets are due):

  • Turn the ignition to position 0.
  • Press and hold the trip reset button then turn the ignition switch to position 1. 5 seconds after ignition 1, the display will show the current SIA status (oil or inspection service). The trip reset button can now be released.
  • Press and hold the trip reset button for 5 seconds to change to reset mode. The display will flash the reset text 'rst'. If the trip reset button is pressed again within these flashes then the current service requirement is reset and the display will show the new status for 5 seconds.

The oil/inspection data has now been reset.
