Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Service reminder indicator (SRI)
The service reminder indicator (SRI) lights the first time the ignition is switched on after the service interval has been reached. The service reminder indicator (SRI) will continue to light and remain lit for 2 minutes, every time the ignition is switched on until it is reset. The service indicator has changed from model year 2002. The need for a service is indicated partly by a lamp and partly by a text message - "time for service". Previously only the lamp indicated "Service". The service reminder indicator (SRI) can be programmed in three different ways: distance traveled, time since last service and engine hours since last service. The service reminder indicator (SRI) can be reset using VIDA or as follows:
Hold down the reset button for the trip odometer and turn the key to position II. Continue holding the button down until the service reminder indicator (SRI) begins to flash. Release the button.
