What is Service Indicator Reset?

It is done via the instrument menu, button sequence or diagnostic tool. Some cars also require battery or oil type registration. Resetting does not replace the service itself. Many modern cars reset several separate counters, such as oil service and inspection. Some require the diagnostic tool to also register the oil quality or a new brake pad sensor.

How it works

The counter restarts from the new interval.

Why it matters for your car

Reset only after the work is done. Wrong reset may show wrong intervals.
